Coastal Fisheries Institute Assistant Professor Malinda Sutor has a ‘plankton lab’ dedicated to researching offshore ecosystems.

The affordable public flagship system will cease to exist in 12 years, according to a personal metrics study presented

by LSU President F. King Alexander at a Louisiana Board of Regents hearing Wednesday. LSU’s future has a 2027 expiration date, Alexander said.

The Board sought to address this problem when it crowded in the Claiborne Building on North Third Street to review and approve the LSU System’s current year budgets.

The LSU system with campuses in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Eunice and Alexandria experienced a jolt in enrollment this semester with an increase of about 1,000 students.

Approximately 600 students enrolled at the main campus, which includes the Paul M. Hebert Law Center.

With student growth system-wide, Alexander said proper funding for various academic programming was crucial for the success of the flagship system.

Landolt Astronomical Observatory to host eclipse, supermoon viewing BY joshua jackson @Joshua_Jackson_ The lunar phenomena known as a blood moon as well as a supermoon are set to coincide Sept. 27 for the first time in 33 years, and the Landolt Astronomical Observatory in Nicholson Hall will host a viewing open to the public.

A blood moon, more commonly known as a lunar eclipse, occurs when the sun fully covers the moon. A supermoon occurs when the moon appears unusually large due to its closeness to Earth.

Sunday will be the last time a lunar eclipse will occur until March 2018, and the two events will not occur at the same time for another 18 years.

Physics and astronomy professor Bradley Schaefer will host the total lunar eclipse viewing, beginning at 8 p.m. —

just before the eclipse becomes visibly noticeable at 8:08 p.m.

Schaefer said the phrase “blood moon” stems from the blood-red color the of the moon when it’s behind the sun.

“They happen about once a year at random,” Schaefer said.

“The last one happened April 4 this year, but we won’t have one for a while now.”

There will be three telescopes set up on the rooftop of Nicholson Hall — the observatory’s Alvan Clark telescope, with an 11.5 inch diameter, and two standard telescopes.

But Schaefer said using a telescope isn’t necessarily the best way to view the eclipse, and binoculars, cameras with long lenses or the human eyes would do the job better.

The last time the lunar eclipse happened, Schaefer said it was covered by clouds, but he said he hopes the weather will permit for better

viewing this time around.

“You can view the eclipse from almost anywhere,” Schaefer said. “If you don’t want to come out to the observatory, I suggest getting a significant other and watching the lunar eclipse from a graveyard nearby.”

Schaefer said he’s seen 30 lunar eclipses in his lifetime and has notes on each of them. He plans on taking notes Sunday as well.

Physics graduate student Zach Edwards has worked with Schaefer on education and public outreach programs while pursuing his master’s degree.

Ever since coming to LSU, he said he has always had fun with Schaefer.

“It’s always energetic and fun to share astronomy with the students,” Edwards said. “It’s giving them a look into how cool science can be.”

LSU scientists cultivate research partnership in India BY joshua jackson @Joshua_Jackson_

Thanks to similar environments and new research opportunities, a scientific partnership links LSU and the Cochin University of Science and Technology in Kerala, India.

Kenneth Rose, associate dean of research for the LSU School of the Coast and Environment, and Sam Bentley, director of the LSU Coastal Studies Institute, went to Kerala from Sept. 4 to Sept. 13. with funds from the Erudite Visiting Scholars Program. The program invites scholars from across the world to visit Kerala and connect with researchers and students.

Bentley said Vice President for Research and Economic Development Kalliat Valsaraj — who is from the state of Kerala — began looking to hold

academic exchanges with universities in India and LSU. In January, Valsaraj made contact with CUSAT, home of the oldest marine science program in India, and suggested Bentley and a representative from the School of the Coast and Environment make contact with CUSAT scientists.

After speaking with their CUSAT contact, oceanography professor A.N. Balchand, CUSAT wrote a proposal to the Erudite Program to petition for funding.

“We each gave a series of lectures at CUSAT and other colleges and universities in the area,” Bentley said. “We also visited several field locations and had a very great time looking at shared interest between our universities.”

In the future, LSU and CUSAT will assist one another in research programs,

including ecological modeling and atmospheric science.

Not only will working together prove beneficial from a scientific standpoint but a funding standpoint as well, Bentley said.

“It’s good for both organizations because international collaboration is highly prized by funding programs like the National Science Foundation or the Indian version of the National Science Foundation,” Bentley said.

As a result of the visit, CUSAT and LSU formed a collaborative research program. Bentley said one of the next steps is inviting Indian researchers to America.

Contact between the universities will begin immediately, Bentley said, and will focus on ongoing research projects such as mangrove ecology — an important part of wildlife in both the Louisiana wetlands and

Kerala. The two parties will start stitching together their research as soon as possible, Bentley said.

“They can offer us access to places and systems that we normally would not have access to,” Rose said. “It’s possible that their students could come to LSU for a few weeks and take a few of our classes. This partnership is beneficial in multiple ways.”

By having similar environments, Rose said they can test certain theories they have for

the Gulf Coast in India and get similar results.

The two universities will also look at toxic marine algae found in Louisiana’s and India’s coastal waters.

“There are some relatively striking similarities between our locations,” Bentley said.

“Some of the areas we have here are characterized by offshore mud banks, which influence the coastal environment and fisheries here. That exists in Kerala as well.”

SHOOTING, from page 1

The Daily Reveille BUDGET, from page 1 “We just want to have a predictable budget that allows us steady growth,” Alexander said. “We really need a coherent funding formula.”

However, as student enrollment went up, faculty membership declined.

LSU had a net loss of 222 faculty members, Alexander said, increasing the student-tofaculty ratio from 17:1 to 24:1.

With the addition of about 95 new faculty members hired in 2015, Alexander said each new hire is worth about $140,000 in external support.

Despite the fluctuations in students and faculty, Alexander said out-of-state enrollment has stabilized. He also said, out of 45 flagship universities on a college scorecard, LSU is the sixth most affordable and ranks as one of the schools with the lowest student debt in the country.

He said though these statistics portray the system in a positive light, LSU ranks 46 out of 50 states in the amount of money it is able to spend per student — forcing university administration to make cuts in student program budgets.

Thursday, September 24, 2015 To combat the cuts, Alexander said administrators implemented a Academic Excellence Fee, which was tacked on to the 2015-16 academic year tuition.

The fee was a 10 percent increase from last year’s tuition, raising it from $2,000 to $2,200.

He said the revenues will be channeled back into the classroom and student programs.

“The use of the fee is going to directly benefit students,” Alexander said.

Alexander said the fee would also help ensure safety at LSU-Eunice, where there are no campus police officers.

The Board also addressed the issue of college affordability, and suggested lowering student costs by adopting an exclusively e-book collection instead of selling traditional textbooks.

While e-books are slowly seeping into Middleton and Barnes & Noble Bookstore, Alexander said students fear massive costs upfront and low return rates later.

“Bookstores don’t rip students off. It’s the publishers,” Alexander said.

Another of Alexander’s solutions for affordability included

LOSFA-funded “Go Grants,” which have a $22 million price tag statewide. He said LSU puts $12 million in its own Go Grant to help 5,000 students on the main campus in financial need.

He also said, although students contribute about 80 percent of LSU’s funding, research projects have been put in place in an attempt to increase revenue. Pennington Biomedical Research Center, for example, is collaborating with the main campus to double the state’s oyster production.

Part of the deal would allow Pennington researchers to teach classes at the main campus. Alexander said they hope to develop a sustainable business model.

He said the LSU system will ignore several state-mandated expenditures, including a Hotel Planner Mandate which did not allow athletic coaches to stay in the same hotels as their players.

Alexander said mandated costs for the main campus, at $120,000, exceed the $115,000 LSU receives from the state.

“Our students have been paying for state government,” Alexander said. “That’s the real injustice.”

RESEARCH

Professor studies Deepwater Horizon spill’s effect on plankton

BY SAM KARLIN @samkarlin_TDR In May 2010, Coastal Fisheries Institute assistant professor Malinda Sutor led a crew-boat fitted with research equipment about 40 miles offshore to the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which exploded in April, leaving 11 dead and millions of gallons of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Sutor and her crew measured oil droplets after dispersant was released, helping determine how to best contain the spill’s fallout.

Accompanied by more than 20 other large ships, Sutor’s boat would occasionally be directed hundreds of yards away, so the Coast Guard could light the ocean’s surface on fire, creating tornadoes of smoke on the water.

When Sutor’s team members were not gathering oil samples, they netted plankton, placing them in liquid preservative and hauling them back to the facility at LSU she nicknamed “LSU Plankton Lab” in 2008.

difficult to obtain because scientists stopped taking samples too early, and she has little to compare her findings to.

“There have been almost no samplings of plankton in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico prior to the oil spill,” Sutor said. “So we really don’t have historical data to look back to.”

While no major ecological collapses have been found after collecting a decade’s worth of research, Sutor said there is not definitive evidence that ecosystems in the Gulf are as healthy as they were before the spill.

She said this is partly because the scientific community does not know much about the Gulf’s ecosystems.

Sutor took advantage of other sources of funding once BP stopped paying for expeditions in 2011, but the amount of research dropped off significantly.

“That’s what the tragedy is going to be, is we sampled for a certain time period after, and then we didn’t do anything and it became sporadic,” Sutor said.

Even after extensive collecting of plankton species, she said the scientific community will still have questions.

Sutor has several thousand samples shelved in her lab and another thousand being analyzed at other labs, which will be sent back to LSU. She said her plankton lab conducted some of the most extensive research in the years following the Horizon spill.

“I can’t think of another program that collected this many plankton samples in this amount of time as part of a single program,” she said.

NEXT IN LINE

BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR LSU sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre sits in the film room and prepares to break down film from a game he didn’t even participate in.

When the first play pops up on the screen, two familiar figures catch his eye — former Tiger wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.

As the play develops, Dupre’s eyes track everything from their precise route running to their ability to find holes in soft zone coverage, searching for another way to improve his own game.

Dupre, Dural embrace wide-receiving legacy

During the last year, Dupre spent hours scouring his friends’ film to bring some of their success back to Baton Rouge.

“In the film room, we do a lot of things that they did when they were here as far as play calling,” Dupre said. “Definitely, I watch a lot of film on them and see the things that they do. I’m still watching film on the offenses they are in the NFL.” Despite different skill sets from Beckham and Landry’s repertoire, Dupre and junior wideout Travin Dural continue the pair’s legacy as the Tigers’ next playmakers on the perimeter, developing into physical, well-rounded receivers in a run-first offense.

“They got way more physical,” said junior safety Rickey Jefferson. “They are trying to become more dominant players, not too much of finesse guys. When they get the opportunity to get the ball, I know it hasn’t been a lot lately, but they will. They are going to do big things.”

Landry and Beckham’s collective success as Tigers was unprecedented, highlighted by Landry’s unforgettable catches against Arkansas and Beckham’s talent to make a key play to keep a drive going.

Miles plans for balance against Syracuse

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR In his weekly Wednesday evening news conference, LSU coach Les Miles honored baseball legend Yogi Berra and updated the media for the last time before Saturday’s matchup at 11 a.m. against Syracuse University in the Carrier Dome.

Miles dug deep into his childhood for his opening statement, recalling memories as a Yankees fan, growing up. Miles mentioned Berra’s accomplishments on and off the field but lamented the loss of one of his childhood heroes.

“I’m a Yankees fan,” Miles said. “It’s a shame that life is so short. I’m sad that he is gone.”

Apart from his Berra sentiment, Miles took questions about football.

Miles said senior safety Jalen Mills and senior tight end Dillon Gordon will travel to Syracuse with the rest of the team. Mills went down in preseason practice with an ankle injury and has not suited up for the Tigers so far. Gordon suffered an achilles injury in the Tigers’ 45-21 win against Auburn on Sept. 19.

Miles and the Tigers will depart on Friday for their Saturday morning matchup against an unfamiliar opponent.

SOCCER

In final season Gomez-Junco brings team leadership

BY MARIO JEREZ @MJerezIII_TDR

In her second and final season with the No. 24 LSU soccer team, senior midfielder Natalia GomezGomez-Junco looks to close out her collegiate career on a high note and help lead the Tigers to a deep NCAA tournament run.

Gomez-Junco is LSU’s assist leader for the season and a big reason why the Tigers are nationally ranked for the first time since 2013. She takes the majority of corner kicks and free kicks for LSU and stays after practice every day to get some extra work to improve her set pieces.

Last week, she led LSU to its first Southeastern Conference victory of the season as it came from behind to defeat Georgia,

4-3. Gomez-Junco scored twice to put the Tigers ahead after they trailed in the second half.

For Gomez-Junco, it’s been a long road to Baton Rouge. Growing up in Monterrey, Mexico, she’s around the sport her entire life.

“I told my mom one day when I was very young that I wanted to play soccer,“ Gomez-Junco said.

“I joined my kindergarten team.

They were all boys, and that’s how it all started.”

Her father, Bernardo, and his five brothers were passionate soccer fans and all played at an amateur level. They were the ones that ingrained soccer into Gomez-Junco’s head during her childhood.

She continued to play and joined the Mexico women’s

national team system as a young teenager. She always had aspirations to come to the United States, and her hard work paid off when she accepted a scholarship to play at the University of Memphis in 2011.

She stood out from the start for the other Tigers, becoming the team’s leading scorer during her freshman year. However, something didn’t feel right for Gomez-Junco.

“I didn’t feel comfortable soccer wise,” Gomez-Junco said.

“I didn’t get the ball as much as I wanted to. Being away from home, I wanted to feel like I was at the right place, and it didn’t feel like that. Once I got here, it clicked right away. I’m very

Cleveland should start Manziel INTO THE WOODS JACK WOODS Sports Columnist

courtesy of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) celebrates after throwing a 50yard touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin in the second half of a game against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 20 in Cleveland.

Johnny Manziel should be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

Mike Pettine, it’s time to finally give Johnny Football a real chance to make the position his own. Cleveland deserves to have a football team it can finally be excited about, and one that might be able to win some games, too.

I don’t dislike current quarterback Josh McCown, but how many fans are going to walk into FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday and say, “Man, I’m excited to see Josh McCown air it out today?”

Nobody.

I’m willing to wager people aren’t buying Browns tickets to see McCown under center.

If by some twist of fate Pettine changed his mind and decided to start Manziel, ESPN would devote 30 minutes an hour to talking about it, and

Twitter would implode.

Since returning to the NFL in 1999, Cleveland had two winning seasons, and they’ve only made the playoffs once.

In other words, there hasn’t been much for Browns fans to be excited about in the 21st century.

So why are you leaving the guy who sells tickets and makes people turn on the TV on your bench? People want to see him play, so play him.

You can argue McCown is a better, more experienced quarterback.

However, McCown has been average through his NFL career. His completion percentage is only 58.8 percent. He’s thrown nearly as many interceptions (59) as touchdowns (61).

Manziel’s completion percentage is lower (52.7 percent), but with three touchdowns and three picks, his touchdown to interception ratio is similar to McCown’s, although it’s a smaller sample size. Opposing teams will also have to be more conscious

about Manziel burning them with his running ability than McCown.

Most importantly, I’d be shocked if McCown hasn’t hit his ceiling as a 36-year-old.

He’s not going to develop much more. Manziel is a 22-yearold who has a chance to improve dramatically with more reps.

Why not start the young guy with a whole career ahead of him?

Cleveland isn’t winning anything with McCown. OK, they’ll win some games, but they’re not going to have any opponents trembling with fear.

They might not win much more — if any — with Manziel, but they’ll be investing in a guy who could be a decent starter in a few seasons, and people will actually be excited to watch the Cleveland Browns play.

Imagine that.

MEN’S GOLF

Burns, young players add depth to No. 2 men’s golf team Burns rated No. 1 junior golfer for class of 2015

‘[The young golfers] will get more and more comfortable when they see more and more reps. They have a lot of talent.’

BY MARC STEVENS @Marc_TDR Across LSU athletics, young, highly-recruited players join their respective sports and make an immediate impression with how they can play the game.

That could not be more true for the LSU men’s golf team.

In the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic, the team’s opening tournament, the Tigers’ five-man lineup featured a sophomore and two freshmen.

Not only did the Tigers start three players with a combined four collegiate tournaments of experience, those players’ performances exceeded expectations. Freshman Sam Burns and sophomore Blake Caldwell finished the tournament tied for 19th, and freshman Luis Gagne had a solid showing, tying for 45th in the 81-person field.

LSU coach Chuck Winstead said he is confident the young players will only improve with more playing time. “[The young golfers] will get more and more comfortable when they see more and more reps. They have a lot of talent,” Winstead said. “I’m not worried about them.”

The Tigers’ starting five, which senior Zach Wright and junior Eric Ricard, finished

CHUCK WINSTEAD golf coach sparingly his first year.

The Tigers will likely have the same starting five as the team travels to Burlington, Iowa, to begin the Golfweek Conference Challenge on Friday.

No. 8 LSU comes into the tournament as the lone ranked team in the 15-team field, representing 15 different conferences. The Tigers won the same event last season by a dominating 11-stroke margin over 2014 runner-up Southern Methodist University.

CHRIS PARENT / LSU Athletics

Freshman Sam Burns, rated the No.1 overall recruit by Golfweek.com, takes a swing. fourth overall in the team’s first tournament.

The lineup will likely change when junior Brandon Pierce returns from injury. But for now, young golfers must improve and develop with the current lineup.

Pierce’s injury is not ideal but gives his teammates opportunities to step up and show they belong in the starting five.

Pierce said he hopes to be back in the lineup when the Tigers host the David Toms Intercol-

legiate Classic, the Tigers’ lone home event on Oct. 10.

Winstead said the team can still improve, but he shows little concern, as the season has only begun and the end goal is seven months away.

“Sure, we could do better, but the SEC championships are in April, the national championship is in May,” Winstead said. “[The Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic] gave us a snapshot of where we are. We know where we want to go, and now we can

start working toward there.”

Shreveport, Louisiana, native Burns was rated the 2015 No. 1 overall recruit by Golfweek.com and came into LSU as a highly-touted freshman who was thought to be a sure starter.

Gagne also came in with some hype, but not near the level of Burns.

Thursday, September 24, 2015 LES, from page 5 Zack Mahoney the starting quarterback on Tuesday. Mahoney, a junior college transfer who enrolled in January, played in one game this season, throwing for 19 yards in four attempts.

On preparing for the Syracuse offense, Miles seemed to know what is expected from the Orange’s offense.

“We have a lot of film on what they do best,” Miles said. “They are 3-0. They will execute. They have a very diverse and efficient offense.”

Miles also expects Saturday to be a good for his offense, looking to establish balance between passing and rushing plays, which hasn’t come this season because of the offensive success behind sophomore running back Leonard Fournette.

LEADER, from page 5 proud to play for LSU. I know I belong here.”

Fellow senior midfielder Fernanda Piña met Gomez-Junco while they both trained for the Mexican national team. After getting close to Gomez-Junco, Pina saw an opportunity to help both her friend and her team back in Louisiana.

After she was introduced to LSU coach Brian Lee, GomezJunco transferred to LSU. She sat on the sidelines for a year per NCAA transfer rules but started for LSU as soon as she was eligible. She scored in her LSU debut against Troy and stood as a fixture for the Tigers ever since.

“I knew she was a great team player,” Piña said. “Not only because she’s really good [at soccer], but she brings something special to the team. I knew if she

“There’s a point and time when it will come,” Miles said.

“We will throw the ball [on Saturday]. This weekend will be the opportunity to establish the balance we have been looking for.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we threw the ball more than we rush it in this game.”

Sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris was limited to only 31 passing attempts in two games for the Tigers — a part of the offense Miles said “will come with time.”

Regardless if the Tigers decide to throw the ball more than what was seen in the first two games, they will still have Fournette and a powerful running game as a fail-safe.

“We’re going to try to throw the ball,” Miles said. “But, it depends on what they are going to do.” came here it would show, and it’s showing right now.”

And it showed in the Georgia game.

One of Gomez-Junco’s goals was a looping free kick that was featured on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays that night and was named College Goal of the Week

by TopDrawerSoccer.com on Wednesday. It was one of several highlight-reel worthy goals Gomez-Junco netted in her short LSU career.

Although she has aspirations to play in the professional ranks, she is just focused on helping LSU win as many games as possible.

“I can’t imagine not playing soccer come January, so I’ll try to extend this,” Gomez-Junco said. “I’m trying to focus on LSU. When this is over, things will fall into place, but this is the most important thing for me.”

DUO, from page 5 and two touchdowns during their freshmen season in 2011, the pair emerged as former LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger’s top targets in 2012, collecting more than 47 percent of the Tigers’ total receptions.

In 2013, Beckham and Landry became the first LSU wide receivers to record 1,000-yards receiving in the same season and only the sixth and seventh wideouts in program history to accomplish the feat.

Beckham won the Paul Hornung Award the same year for the nation’s most versatile player after breaking the LSU singleseason record all-purpose yards with 2,315.

During his 2014 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign with the New York Giants, Beckham set franchise rookie records with 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games, gaining national fame with his iconic onehanded grab against the Dallas Cowboys.

As quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s top target, Landry tallied 758 receiving yards and five touchdowns on a team-leading 84 receptions during his rookie season with the Miami Dolphins in 2014. Through two games this season, Landry leads the Dolphins with 16 catches for 163 yards.

“To see the things they’ve accomplished in the NFL and in college, I’ve seen them work for it, so it just gives something to work forward to,” Dupre said. “And to see the things they worked on day in and day out, it just shows me how hard work can pay off.”

HASKELL WHITTINGTON / The Daily Reveille

LSU junior wide receiver Travin Dural (83) runs the ball hard past Auburn’s junior defensive back Johnathan Ford (23) during the football game on Sept. 19.

Although Beckham and Landry left behind a legacy of acrobatic catches in a passheavy offense, Dupre and Dural adapted their strengths to thrive in an offense dominated by sophomore running back Leonard Fournette.

Dural and Dupre’s offseason focus on improving their downfield blocking shined through the Tigers’ first two games with LSU racking up an average of 338.5 rushing yards per game, including 411 yards on the ground against Auburn.

“The blocking that they have been doing is second to none,” said junior cornerback Tre’Davious White. “The attitude they bring toward blocking is a big deal. It has been paying off for them on the field with the way our offense has been doing.”

Along with opening up the run-game with blocking, Dural and Dupre’s physical presence

allows them to get off the line faster against press coverage and complete more one-on-one plays downfield.

Although he notes the differences between his style and Landry’s, Dupre said the physicality he developed this season reflects Landry’s approach to the game.

Through the Tigers’ first two games in 2015, Dural and Dupre combined for only 11 catches for 72 yards.

Despite Dural and Dupre’s limited opportunities in 2015, their teammates expect the duo’s development during the past year to translate into dynamic plays that suit their own style. “[Dupre and Dural] are the best at what they do,” White said. “They can do it all just like [Beckham and Landry] can. But they are just different players.

You can’t compare those guys to [Beckham and Landry].”

LSU alumnus Le’Brian Patrick will dance as the titular “Nutcracker” character in the Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre’s upcoming production. Patrick experienced these auditions time and time

Self-proclaimed fried chicken enthusiast Jeff Austin sparks conversations with Southerners simply to hear their accents.

Luckily, as a singer, songwriter and mandolin player in the Jeff Austin Band, he can experience the South and its accents in full.

“There is a lyrical aspect to the people’s voices and the way they talk and how they tell stories — I just love it,” Austin said.

“I know it sounds strange, but as a vocalist, the accent gives me a new way to look at words and how to pronounce them.”

Austin said he not only likes the way the people in Baton Rouge sound but how their stories translate over the years. A bonus is the southern cooking he experiences while on tour, he said.

“I plan on experiencing as much of the food as I possibly can without falling asleep on stage,” Austin said.

Austin said he has been playing music since he joined his school choir at age five, and, in 1999, he switched to music full time.

In high school, he played guitar until he switched to the mandolin, his current instrument of choice.

Zorba’s Greek Bistro returns to Baton Rouge, revitalizes menu

BY GRAYSON SENNER @graysonsenner Fifteen years after its departure, Greek cuisine is making a comeback as Zorba’s Greek Bistro returns to Baton Rouge.

Zorba’s owner Dinos Economides hails from Cyprus, Greece, and said he prides his restaurant on its authentic Greek offerings.

The restaurant originally opened in 1984 and closed in 2000 when the Economides family returned to Greece.

Then, Zorba’s was then located on Perkins Road, and its new location is on Essen Lane.

Economides owns the restaurant with his wife Polina, and he said he enjoys the work dynamic. When the couple returned to Greece in 2000. Economides said they didn’t give up their en-

trepreneurial roots and opened their own medical equipment company.

Economides said he’s seen old customers return to Zorba’s Essen location, calling 50 percent of his customer base returners.

“Everybody was very excited,” Economides said. “They were very sad that we closed in the first place.”

Economides said customers were interested in Zorba’s return because there is no similar Greek restaurant, with most of the Lebanese restaurants serving Greek dishes.

Zorba’s atmosphere and personalized service is another reason for the restaurant’s popularity, he said.

“The objective was to serve first-quality food at reasonable prices, and that’s what we’re

doing,” Economides said.

He said he and his wife are hands-on at the restaurant, greeting customers with hospitality.

Although customer service is key for Economides, he said the most important aspect of a good restaurant is good food. He said he’s brought in his customers because of the restaurant’s food.

Polina is a chef in Zorba’s kitchen, and he said she makes sure the freshest ingredients that are used every day.

Dinos said while his menu has Mediterranean influences, most of the offerings are Greek, including traditional Greek dishes — some with a modern flair.

Along with the restaurant’s new location, came a new name.

STUDIO SPOTLIGHT

RANKS PAGANS IN VEGAS Metric It’s a heavy synth-pop album that completely uproots the band’s old indie influence.

— ASHLYN ROLLINS

LA DI DA DI Battles Experimental rock group Battles received critical acclaim with its 2006 debut album “EP C/B EP,” and rightfully so. This album fused two EPs released on two different labels. Despite label woes earlier in their career and a misplaced vocalist, the quality of music increased.

‘GO:OD AM’ exploratory, experimental

BY KAYLA RANDALL @kay_ran21 After battling depression and drug addiction, Mac Miller released his inner demons in his surprisingly personal and well-rounded major-label debut “GO:OD AM.” The Pittsburgh rapper smoothly balances rapping about the spoils of money and fame and the dark temptations that come with it, all while expressing his sharp ear for beats and rhythms on “GO:OD AM.” Miller enlists the help of AbSoul, Lil B, Miguel, Chief Keef and Little Dragon, making for some great features.

In particular, “Weekend” featuring Miguel is one of the album’s highest achievements. It is a slower track with an R&B sound perfectly suited for Miguel’s vocals. Miller’s voice blends seamlessly with Miguel’s throughout the catchy chorus.

On “Weekend,” Miller earnestly ponders his life, rapping about his drug use and loneliness. “I’ve been having trouble sleeping, battling these demons,” Miller raps.

“Wondering what’s the thing that keeps me breathing, is it money, fame or neither.”

Despite the dark subject matter, it remains a positive song, with Miller saying he’ll be good come the weekend.

Lead single “100 Grandkids” holds up as one of the album’s

best. Over a polished and precisely produced beat, Miller reflects on the positive parts of his life. “100 Grandkids” is anthemic in its positivity and serves as an uplifting track filled with gloominess.

With “ROS,” the album takes an unexpected romantic turn. This love song is jazzy and smooth, with soft, female backing vocals joining Miller on the chorus. It’s a nice detour from the frank discussions of addiction and sadness on the rest of the album. Instead of talking about pill popping and syrup sipping, Miller opens up about the love he has for his significant other.

“GO:OD AM” is an exploratory, experimental album with influences ranging from R&B to pop

to jazz. Somehow, it all works out, creating what is possibly Miller’s best and most honest project.

The downfall of “GO:OD AM” is found not in its lyrical content or production but in its length.

In a music industry consumed by shorter projects, typically between 10 to 14 tracks, the album runs a bit long at 17 songs.

The songs are quality, but some could have been left on the cutting room floor, or kept as bonuses on a deluxe edition instead of being included on the final product.

Nonetheless, “GO:OD AM” is a lush, heavy and complex tribute to Miller’s triumph in overcoming the dark times in his life.

Adams’ ‘1989’ refreshing, authentic

BY GRAYSON SENNER @graysonsenner Alt-country singer Ryan Adams was relatively unknown to the pop world prior to his cover album of Taylor Swift’s “1989.”

Swift’s “1989” was a pop culture phenomenon, selling more than one million copies in its first week in the United States and spawning five radio hits.

Cover albums are an anomaly in today’s musical landscape, but “1989” was prime musical real estate for Adams, who has previously covered songs by Bob Dylan and Alice In Chains.

Adams’ take on Swift’s modern pop masterpiece is a refreshing and authentic spin on an album, heavy on synths and computer-oriented beats.

Although all the songs are familiar to a listeners of Top 40 or pop-music fan, Adams intertwines his own style with the album.

The album opens with a guitar-driven cover of Swift’s “Welcome to New York.” The cover sounds like it would be a campaign theme song for a New York gubernatorial candidate

and that’s okay.

The second song, a rendition of Swift’s mega-hit “Blank Space,” showcases Adams’ raw voice on a familiar melody. It leaves listeners wanting more from Adams’ voice and the simple, beautiful acoustic instruments.

As much as Adams succeeds with his covers of “1989’s” first two songs, he misses the mark with “Style,” using too high of a tempo and too many beats for a song intended to pull listener’s heartstrings.

Adams returns to greatness with “All You Had to Do Was Stay,” incorporating the perfect instruments for the melodydriven track.

Perhaps the album’s best offering is “Wildest Dreams,” Swift’s current single. The mid-tempo song is reminiscent of Swift’s earlier work, and Adams’ cover highlights the instrumental parts of the song.

Even though Swift does not appear on the record with vocals, she’s present in the atmosphere of the album. One may even have a hard time

believing Adams can relate to the lyrical content.

One of the album’s most personal offerings is “I Know Places,” a story about Swift’s struggle to keep her personal relationships away from the media.

Adams, relatively unknown to intense personal media scrutiny, sounds understandably detached from his cover of “I Know Places.”

Ultimately, Adams successfully completed a difficult task, covering, arguably, one of the most popular albums of our generation.

Thursday, September 24, 2015 ZORBA’S, from page 9 Zorba’s Greek Bistro was previously Zorba’s Greek Restaurant before it closed in 2000.

Dinos said the name changed because the restaurant went a different route with a trendier menu than the original.

He said the menu is about 70 percent the same as the old menu, and the other 30 percent is more modern, such as salads. But all the food is always made with a Greek flair.

The new update brought new customers along with the returners.

“When we see people coming back, especially younger people,

that means a lot. That means we are succeeding with what we were wanting to succeed,” Dinos said.

Dinos said he sees the importance of attracting younger crowds to Zorba’s and he is happy he succeeded.

Comparing the Baton Rouge restaurant scene in 2000 to today, Dinos said a lot more people are eating at restaurants than at home and are more selective when it comes to their restaurant choices.

Along with Zorba’s daily menu, the restaurant holds a wine tasting every month and has a private room that holds up to 60 people.

NUTCRACKER, from page 9 again and said he empathizes with the young dancers and advises them to keep their heads up.

“The biggest advice I tell the dancers is to have fun and don’t be hurt if you don’t get the role that you want to get,” Patrick said.

“The Nutcracker” is one of BRBT’s premiere annual productions, so Patrick said if a dancer doesn’t get the coveted role, there is another chance next year. He advises dancers to attend classes even if their auditions don’t go well.

Patrick said getting roles is not about who the most popular dancer is, but who is the most dedicated to the craft of dancing and going to class is a large part.

Many dancers don’t get the roles they want, Patrick said — including him. However, even as an adult he still goes to class.

Patrick said as the Nutcracker character, he’ll work the most with young dancers who audition this weekend, as his scenes feature many children.

“It’s a lot of fun to be at rehearsals with the kids and getting to play with them,” Patrick said. “Especially the boys because we don’t have a lot of them, so they look up to the guys who are older that dance.”

Patrick said he helps prepare the young male dancers so they can one day take the Nutcracker role.

Because auditions at BRBT aren’t rooted in a harsh, com-

petitive atmosphere, the process, while intimidating, is easier for the dancers, Patrick said.

“I think the company tries to create a stress-free zone,” Patrick said. “Technique is going to be there, we work on those sorts of things, but they want everyone to have fun during the audition process.”

History senior Katrina Cassiere already auditioned for and received her tentative role in the upcoming “Nutcracker” production. Cassiere will be dancing as the lead snowflake during the snow scene in the first act of “The Nutcracker.”

Like Patrick, Cassiere auditioned many times and said she also understands what the young dancers are going through.

Both Patrick and Cassiere said the audition process is typically more difficult mentally than physically.

“Auditioning is always a bit stressful,” Cassiere said. “Especially for younger dancers. If you’re new to the process it can be really daunting.”

Cassiere said it will be especially scary for the young female dancers auditioning this weekend because they’ll be going for the role of Clara, the lead character. Cassiere said it’s intimidating to audition for “The Nutcracker,” but at the same time, it’s an exciting experience.

“I remember auditioning the first few times when I was younger. I made a real big deal out of it,” Cassiere said. “Afterwards, I would go home and watch old “Nutcracker” videos and wonder

that I really became entwined in the instrument,” Austin said. “I picked it up and found out that it sounded very cool, and I became hooked.”

The Jeff Austin Band formed after Austin took a year off to spend time with his family after leaving another band, he said. He wanted to enjoy time with his new baby and the Colorado summertime, something he hadn’t been able to do after nearly 17 years of touring.

“Change is an amazing thing — you can either run and hide or take it and go for it, and I decided to go for it,” Austin said.

His hiatus off ushered in new changes for the way Austin looked at and made music.

“When I hit the brakes, it slowed everything down and affected the way I write and think on stage,” Austin said. “It was a spectacular change and I was fortunate to be able to do it.”

The band consists of three other members besides Austin, and most have played together years before forming the Jeff Austin Band.

Austin said he and bassist Eric Thorin played in a side-project band for over a decade. Thorin and the band’s guitarist Ross Martin have played together for more than 20 years. He said the

prior playing experience between the members creates a natural and comfortable stage presence when the band performs.

Despite the band being named after him, Austin said everyone in the band operates equally.

“When we take the stage, we are acting as one cohesive unit,” Austin said. “The band has an incredible ability to create music on the spot, which is why I do not define what our music is. It has potential to change at every show.”

The Jeff Austin Band will perform at the Varsity Theatre Sept.

24 at 8 p.m.. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 after the doors open.

what part I was going to get.”

Though it may not be as high pressure as ballet auditions at professional companies on the East Coast, Cassiere said that doesn’t make the experience any less significant.

During auditions and rehearsals, the BRBT makes the point to dancers that this production isn’t just for their families but the general population who are paying money to see a good show, Cassiere said.

“I feel like it has the same value as a professional company’s performance because we still care as much,” Cassiere said. “We probably care more because we’re not getting paid to do this.”

LAUGHING STOCK ‘Scream Queens’ satire capitalizes on stereotypes

INFRANGIBLE ICON JOHN GAVIN HARP Columnist In Fox’s new horror comedy Scream Queens, creator Ryan Murphy takes on the white female archetype. Doing so, he reveals millennials have a problem — they can’t laugh at themselves.

Like any subculture, white culture — and particularly, white female culture — is littered with stereotypes. Pumpkin spice lattes, yoga pants, sororities, pretentious white privilege and catty cliques are tropes white females are burdened with.

Obviously not every white female is represented like this, but that’s stereotypes — they marginalize a group.

Instead of making a show about women who overcome these stereotypes, Murphy creates a world where women own them.

Chanel Oberlin, the main character and queen bee of fictional Kappa Kappa Tau, is pretty much the worst. She’s malicious, manipulative, racist, homophobic, entitled and sociopathic. Chanel has minions, a frat

boyfriend and likes her pumpkin spice lattes extra hot.

Even though Chanel is the embodiment of every white female stereotype, I can’t help but wish more people in our generation were like her.

Chanel doesn’t waste time creating the illusion she’s something she’s not. She’s a white girl, and she’s proud of it. She’s not pretending her white privilege doesn’t exist.

She also doesn’t overlook the observation modern Greek systems can resemble class systems.

“Life is a class system,” Chanel retorts. Duly noted.

Most of the supporting white female characters also exemplify the white female archetype.

They tweet, they travel in packs, love Taylor Swift and think they’re better than everyone else — especially people of color.

In a time where white people would rather pretend white culture and white privilege are nonexistent, Chanel Oberlin and her disciples put both front and center like one of Scream Queens’ many corpses.

It’s not subtle, but is it subtle in real life?

Critical feedback to Scream Queens is mixed. Slate’s Willa Paskin appreciated the humor

writing it’s “spiked full of bubblegum and nutritious venom.”

Las Vegas Weekly’s Josh Bell didn’t agree writing, “Its comedy is ugly and mean spirited, full of hateful stereotypes and casual misogyny.”

Judging from Tumblr and Twitter, viewers are split too.

Some viewers find the satirical mocking funny, while others — mostly white females from what I’ve observed — find it offensive.

But everything is offensive today.

Satire, even if some find it unoriginal or offensive, is an important part of social commentary our generation isn’t grasping.

Satire is supposed to get people to reflect on ideas or societal issues in a lighthearted way. Millennials created a world where it is often misinterpreted and taken seriously.

We live in a PSA-ridden, “It Gets Better” society. Practically everything may be labeled sexist, racist, xenophobic or homophobic.

Celebrities, especially white ones, are expected to apologize whenever they say or do something that offends a particular group, even if they were cheeky or paying homage to a particular culture.

Why though? Why can’t we laugh at stereotypes without someone getting offended?

Let’s not beat around the bush. A lot of white people laugh at black stereotypes just like a lot of black people laugh at white stereotypes. Why is it no one laughs when the joke is about them?

Gay people and minorities are often portrayed in stereotypes on TV, but it’s rare for white stereotypes to be made fun of alongside the rest.

This is why Scream Queens is important. Its wit leaves no survivors.

The humor is equally distributed as well. The white girl jokes are just as funny as the “ratchet” jokes from the black girl, or the “bro-ner” joke about the closeted gay guy. Everyone is fair game, and they should be.

Life is better when everyone is able to laugh at one another and themselves. People who are offended by shows like Scream Queens should stop and ask themselves, “Why so serious?”

Decision to drive eco-friendly vehicles affects future generations THE CERULEAN CONCILIATOR JUSTIN DICHARIA Columnist As you drive into Baton Rouge and cross the Mississippi River Bridge, dark gray and white clouds seemingly hover over the downtown skyline.

Only those clouds are billowing out of ExxonMobil’s refinery and aren’t clouds — they’re columns of exhaust.

Between 2008 and 2011, the compound released nearly four million pounds of volatile organic compounds without the state government’s permission into the city’s air, according to National Public Radio. VOCs create ozone, smog and can cause respiratory problems such as asthma.

Driving a Volkswagen diesel vehicle in Baton Rouge should reduce the emissions adding to ExxonMobil’s mix of chemicals poisoning the air, but Tuesday, U.S. regulators pressured the company to admit 11 million of its diesel vehicles do not meet the required emissions standards.

The German manufacturer equipped software to its diesel vehicles capable of cheating emissions tests. Before

Volkswagen ornaments sit in a box in a scrap yard in Berlin, Germany.

Volkswagen’s announcement on Tuesday, the company only admitted to the problem affecting 500,000 U.S. vehicles, compared to the actual 11 million worldwide.

Volkswagen’s scandal may lead to investigations of vehicle manufacturing companies

in the U.S., and if domestic companies lied to consumers about environmentally friendly features, what are the consequences?

In 2009, the federal government paid for a $79.68 billion bailout program, pulling General Motors and

Chrysler out of financial crisis. If taxpayer dollars went to the creation of software to cheat Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards, would the government force compensation of not only the vehicle but also the bailout funds?

With slow, nine-year economic growth, the U.S. government would not risk domestic auto-industry failure, which would surely occur in the aftermath of a largescale scandal.

Economic dominance is the driving force in U.S. foreign and domestic policies, and the discovery of Volkswagen’s scam is a German economic issue, not an American one.

While the continuation of America’s fortunate economic recovery is a necessity, automotive companies may lie to consumers on the same scale as tobacco companies did in the mid-1900s.

Smoking cigarettes causes immediate health risks, which are mostly preventable through an individual’s choice to stop smoking. Vehicles are releasing pollutants into the atmosphere, creating long-term health risks that may not affect Americans today but will surely affect future generations. One individual’s choice to drive an environmentally friendly vehicle won’t change that, but 11 million could have.

Drinking and smoking detrimental, yet culturally acceptable NOT MARIAH CAREY MARIAH MANUEL Columnist In the midst of a debate over marijuana legalization in many states, we have an interesting paradox — some of the most dangerous drugs are perfectly legal.

The media tend to portray alcohol and tobacco as glamorous, using celebrities in alcohol ads to make partying seem cool. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my fair share of alcohol induced nights, but I find it contradictory that drugs causing no fatalities are illegal when the most dangerous drug is not only legal, but also easily accessible to 21-year-olds.

American culture glamorizes getting plastered yet vilifies smoking marijuana, when alcohol has far more

detrimental effects to the body.

Contemporary media glorifies Happy Hour and drinks after a long work day, with television shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and “Sex and the City” often using bars as the show’s setting.

“Project X” and “The Hangover” both endorse binge drinking and recreational drug use. Any time a celebrity gets caught under the influence, the media goes wild with celebrity mug shots blowing up our news feeds.

Drinking and smoking are seen as cool yet are the leading causes of liver failure and lung cancer, respectively.

to social media to publicize their fear that Syracuse will run out of alcohol during this weekend’s football game.

Lawmakers could do more to decrease deaths caused by the three most dangerous drugs rather than persecuting users of victimless drugs.

However, it is highly unlikely given its effects on the economy and importance to American culture.

It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that these drugs are legal and readily accessible to easily swayed youths.

Alcoholism is second nature in American culture, and it is doubtful the media will change its glorification of drunkenness and partying. A contradiction exists between the media’s portrayal of deadly drugs and law enforcement’s persecution of less harmful drugs.

age — a time where we are constantly flooded with images and messages designed to influence our behavior. We’ve all seen the happy men and women on the beach with their ice-cold beer. Advertisers not only want to sell us a product, they want to sell the lifestyle that comes with the purchase.

They neglect to illustrate the debilitating consequences excessive alcohol use can have on the body.

Alcohol is a part of life, especially here in the South, and I, for one, am not ready to separate myself from it. It is only worth noting that if the media portrayed alcohol like they did other drugs, alcoholism would be seen as an epidemic.

THEATER

Comedian Anjelah Johnson to perform in Union Theater

BY ASHLYN ROLLINS @ash_r96

TDR: Does your current comedy tour feature any new material from your third special “Not Comedian Anjelah Johnson Fancy” that is set to release later rose to fame in 2007 following her this year?

AJ: Yes. I’m touring right viral video, “Nail Salon.” Since then, she has become an estab- now with still a lot of the matelished presence in the world of rial from my third hour special, stand-up comedy, performing at which premieres Oct. 2. But I comedy clubs, joining “MADtv,” still have a lot of that material, recording comedy specials and as I’m working on building new releasing a full-length album as material at the same time.

TDR: You’re notorious for your her character “Bon Qui Qui.” The Daily Reveille sat down character “Bon Qui Qui.” How with Johnson to discuss her cur- did you come up with her?

AJ: “Bon Qui Qui” is a mix rent comedy tour and performance at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the of a lot of people that I’ve met throughout my life. Two specific LSU Student Union Theater. people are my brother, who is just The Daily Reveille: How long have ghetto fabulous and he doesn’t have a filter. The you been doing one is this stand-up comedy, ‘The difference between other girl in a Burger and what first performing at colleges King drive-thru made you realize and comedy clubs is, for in Memphis, Tenit was something one, there is no alcohol, nessee, about 12 you could make a career out of? so you don’t have to deal years ago. She was Anjelah John- with drunk outbursts from just a hot mess and son: I’ve been do- people in the crowd. Not changed my life.

What was ing stand-up for that I get a lot of drunk it TDR: like recordabout nine years.I took a joke writ- people shouting things out ing “Gold Plated in comedy clubs.’

Dreams?” Is this ing, stand-up something you comedy class for ANJELAH JOHNSON could see yourself fun. I didn’t recomedian doing more of in ally want to be a the future? comedian, it was AJ: Oh yeah. We’re going to just because it was a free class at my church. So, I just figured definitely do a second album. It I would take the classes for fun, was a lot of fun. It was interestand then one of the first jokes ing working with my husband in that I wrote was this “Nail Salon” that capacity because that’s his bit that ended up blowing up and field, so we bumped heads somekind of catapulted me into where times. While he’s directing me I am today. The doors just kept and things like that we definitely opening, so it seemed like the will clash at some points, but then right thing to do, to just grow in other points it’s a lot of fun.

TDR: Back to your third spewhere you’re planted in the field cial. How has the nature of your of stand-up comedy.

TDR: What’s it like playing col- comedy changed in this one lege shows, and how was your compared to your previous last performance at LSU? AJ: I had a great time when I was at LSU last time. Great crowd, friendly students. I remember they were very kind to me and gave me a bunch of LSU memorabilia. The difference between performing at colleges and comedy clubs is, for one, there is no alcohol, so you don’t have to deal with drunk outbursts from people in the crowd. Not that I get a lot of drunk people shouting things out in comedy clubs, [colleges] just typically bring out a ruly fan base that comes to have a good time and not get too wild and crazy.

TDR: Do you switch up your material at all for college shows?

AJ: Nah. I just do me. You know what I mean?

TDR: What was it like when your “Nail Salon” video went viral?

AJ: It was unbelievable because it was before the term “going viral” was even a thing. It was so brand new. YouTube was brand new at the time, so nobody even knew what this was. It was like, if you got a video emailed to you, then you definitely watched it because it was this new thing.

It was exciting and confusing all at the same time.

Comedian Anjelah Johnson will perform in the LSU Student Union Theater tonight. two specials?

AJ: I am so proud of this last hour. I feel like it’s my best one yet. In my favorites, it would be this one that’s about to come out, then it would be my first hour special, and then it would be my last hour that I just did. I’m proud of the stories that I’m sharing. My comedy has evolved for sure. My style, my delivery, my pacing, my timing — I think it’s definitely evolved as I’ve matured. I think my stage presence has matured and kind of just settled into itself.

TDR: What are some things you enjoy doing off stage?

AJ: I like eating. I’m eating some popcorn right now. I eat

like every meal is my last meal. I give it my all. And I like watching “Criminal Minds” and “Law and Order: SVU.”
