Students, bar employees debate Tigerland’s safety BY SARAH GAMARD | @SarahGamard
T
igerland’s rising crime rates have brought some students and patron’s to question the bar scene’s future as a hub of LSU nightlife. Jordy Bloodsworth, a door manager at Reggie’s, believes otherwise. The recent LSU graduate said crime has not always been an issue for him, though it has been discussed in news reports recently. “The bad stuff that usually happens – the problems – are when school’s not in,” Bloodsworth said. Some people inaccurately blame college students for the area’s crime and that the recent ‘big’ crime incidents in places like nearby stores are usually not students, he said. Political science sophomore Mia Henderson said, regardless of recent events, she does not feel safe at Tigerland, though she still goes there on weekends. “I feel like it’s a fun environment,” she said. “It’s for the college students and it’s college life.” Because of the wildness, she said she already expects there to be some risks like

ADMINISTRATION
Dean Joseph remembered as ‘heart and soul of the Law Center’ BY TIA BANERJEE @tiabanerjee_TDR During his 43 years of service at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Cheney Joseph served as both a professor and an administrator, but most importantly, the “heart and soul” of the Law Center, interim dean William “Bill” Corbett said. Joseph died on the morning of Dec. 18, 2015, according to an article by the Law Center. He graduated from the Law Center in 1969 and began teaching there in 1972, Corbett said. Throughout his time at the Law Center, he took leave to
serve in various legal positions throughout the state, such as U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana, District Attorney of East Baton Rouge Parish and executive director of the Louisiana Judicial College. “Nobody that I know of has ever done more things for the legal profession of the state than Cheney did,” Corbett said. “Given the breadth of all the things he did in the legal profession, he brought a lot to the Law Center.” At the Law Center, Joseph served as vice chancellor for academic and student affairs and later as interim co-dean. As
an administrator, he still took time to teach, often teaching up to three courses, Corbett said. “More than anything else, he loved to teach,” Corbett said. “Cheney loved teaching so much that he taught beyond a full load most semesters.” Law student Clare Sanchez said she had Joseph as a professor in her first year and worked with him on an almost daily basis as president of the Student Bar Association. Sanchez said that Joseph was approachable as a professor and administrator.
