Man charged with rape of student
Cameron Kelly doesn’t work in a smoke shop. A newcomer to Smokecignals, Kelly’s new shop on Perkins Road, may be misled by the customers sitting on couches puffing smoke-like clouds, employees mixing chemicals in plastic vials or display boxes of futuristic metal devices. Those clouds are flavored vapor, not tobacco or any other kind of smoke. The vials are full of liquid nicotine mixtures, and the shiny metal sticks are finelytuned nicotine delivery systems known as electronic cigarettes. “Really, we don’t even sell tobacco products,” Kelly said. “We in the community are of the opinion that drug paraphernalia and what we do shouldn’t even be thought of as the same thing.” Smokecignals Baton Rouge is the newly opened second branch of a company started in New Orleans to cater to the growing community of those who prefer vaporizing liquid nicotine, or “vaping,” to smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products, Kelly said. The shop sells products ranging from e-cig starter kits to hand-mixed “juices,” or liquid nicotine mixtures available in a range of flavors and concentrations. Kelly said while the starting cost of vaping deters some people, e-cigs quickly pay for themselves both monetarily and through other benefits. Though the “Ego kit,” which Smokecignals employees recommend
A 21-year-old man unaffiliated with the University was arrested Oct. 16 for simple rape of a University student in her on-campus residence hall. The woman told police she and her ex-boyfriend, Aaron Carrington Cade of 879 Belhaven Trace Drive, were discussing their recent breakup on Oct. 6 when he began making sexual advances toward her, said LSU Police Department spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde. The victim told Cade to stop, but his advances escalated to attempted sexual activity, Lalonde said. Lalonde said the victim told officers she eventually gave up because she thought he was not going to stop. After the alleged rape, the victim visited the LSU Student Health Center, and the Health Center contacted LSUPD on Oct. 9 about a possible rape on campus.

Trader Joe’s opening next week on Perkins Road Alexis Rebennack Staff Writer
Trader Joe’s road trip from the Golden State to the Red Stick is finally over, and University students are joining in on the action. The company plans to open its first Louisiana location Oct. 31 on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge. The once-small chain of California convenience stores is now a booming grocery store chain located all over the United States.
With the opening of a store as large and as talked about as Trader Joe’s, many students are trying to get in with the company. Harrison Montgomery, education junior and Trader Joe’s employee, said he couldn’t be more excited to have a job at the Baton Rouge location. “It’s not about selling you groceries and getting you out the door,” Montgomery said. “It’s about making sure you find everything you need and maybe suggesting a thing or two that you might enjoy.”
Montgomery said what impresses him the most about Trader Joe’s is that the grocery store focuses on the customer no matter what. Trader Joe’s Store Captain of Baton Rouge Brian Augustine said Trader Joe’s chose to land in Baton Rouge for a variety of reasons. “We love Baton Rouge,” Augustine said. “There are lots of foodies here. We look forward to being a positive addition to TRADER JOE’S, see page 15

INTERNATIONAL Japan delaying cleanup of towns near March ‘11 nuclear plant meltdown
Nation & World
TOKYO (AP) — Radiation cleanup in some of the most contaminated towns around Fukushima’s damaged nuclear power plant is behind schedule, so some residents will have to wait a few more years before returning, Japanese officials said Monday. Environment Ministry officials said they are revising the cleanup schedule for six of 11 municipalities in an exclusion zone from which residents were evacuated after three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant went into meltdown following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Suicide bomber strikes Russian bus, killing 6 and injuring about 30
Group makes 3-D copies of world landmarks for digital preservation
MOSCOW (AP) — A female suicide bomber blew herself up on a city bus in southern Russia on Monday, killing six people and injuring about 30, officials said. The attack in Volgograd added to security fears ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. The suspected bomber was from the North Caucasus, a region in southern Russia where an Islamic insurgency has been simmering for more than a decade following two separatist wars in Chechnya. A local official said the suspected attacker was married to an Islamic militant. Volgograd lies 650 kilometers (400 miles) to the northeast of the North Caucasus, while Sochi sits to the west along the Black Sea.
LONDON (AP) — We all know to back up our files and photos, but what about our castles and churches? A nonprofit named CyArk has created digital copies of more than 100 of the world’s bestknown monuments, mapping Roman ruins, ancient statues, and even an entire island. Now it plans 400 more, with the goal of digitally preserving the world’s most important sites against war, wear, and the impact of climate change. “There is never going to be enough time or money to preserve everything,” CyArk cofounder Barbara Kacyra said Monday at a launch event at the Tower of London.

Man calls cops for strawberry Jell-O theft from Pa. workers’ fridge
New Orleans to pay for more jail guards, medical upgrades
BREINIGSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — If you ever had your lunch disappear from the office refrigerator, consider what one southeastern Pennsylvania man did: He called the cops. KYW-TV in Philadelphia reports that Upper Macungie Township police were called Oct. 10. That’s when, according to a police news release, an employee at Wakefern Food Corp. reported “that an unknown person stole his Jell-O brand strawberry Jell-O snack from the break room refrigerator.”
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The city of New Orleans will put up $1.88 million this year to pay for extra security and medical personnel and to raise base pay for staff at the city’s jail under an agreement announced Monday during a brief hearing in U.S. District Court. The money covers jail improvements required under a federal court order — the result of an agreement between lawyers for inmates and Sheriff Marlin Gusman, who runs the jail.

LSU food incubator looks to expand amid success Olivia McClure Contributing Writer
Since its official opening in July, the LSU AgCenter Food Incubator’s kettles have been churning out everything from pralines to hummus to salad dressing. Whether based on innovative ideas or grandma’s handwritten recipes, tenants’ products are in high demand, according to incubator coordinator Gaye Sandoz. The incubator, located in Clyde Ingram Hall, provides food entrepreneurs and small businesses with resources to test, produce, package and market their goods. The incubator was awarded a $20,500 Louisiana Economic Development Business Incubator Support Program grant Oct. 7, which Sandoz said will be used to purchase two 150-gallon kettles. The incubator’s need for these larger kettles is just one sign of its clients’ success. Sandoz said some are producing so much that making small batches in the incubator’s current 30-gallon kettles the incubator currently owns is not time- or cost-effective. Sandoz said one of the incubator’s tenants, Hanley’s Foods, made one ton of salad dressing in one day earlier this month. Hanley’s, which is already a supplier to Associated Grocers, is working to make the salad dressing all natural so it can be sold in Baton Rouge’s Whole Foods store. Getting products like Hanley’s in Whole Foods is a huge positive step, Sandoz said, because it advances small producers who are key to the local food movement. Together, the incubator’s seven tenants have made about 7,000 units of products since July. Fifteen tenants are on a waiting list to use the facilities. Sandoz helps market tenants’ products to stores, festivals and media outlets. Food scientist Luis Espinoza conducts food safety tests and helps tenants formulate costeffective variants of recipes — for example, someone may want a college ski & board week breckenridge
product to be high in fiber or use only natural ingredients. The incubator will eventually operate in two locations — Ingram Hall and the new food science building, which is set to open in January. Sandoz said the new building will provide space for more ovens, so the incubator will be able to accommodate tenants who want to make baked goods. Students from several majors work at the incubator, with duties ranging from demoing products in stores to helping with formulations in the lab. There are a variety of opportunities for learning, Sandoz said, because students are exposed to real-world entrepreneurs and become immersed in the transformation of ideas into sellable products. “There really is so much to this business and the fact that we can assist students and local Louisiana food entrepreneurs is really special,” Sandoz said, noting that many people have ideas but just need help getting their product off the ground. Sandoz said prospective tenants must submit an online inquiry form and give a presentation on their product at a quarterly informational meeting, the last of which was held Oct. 1. Selected producers then work with the Louisiana Business and Technology Center (LBTC) to develop a business plan. Once a tenant lease is signed, product formulations begin at the incubator. Translating a home kitchen recipe into one that can be produced commercially involves much more

than safety tests, Espinoza said. Things as simple as the order ingredients are added and how they are measured and mixed affect product quality and must be done precisely. Teaching tenants about those things improves their products and ability to market them. Espinoza said tenants are serious about understanding how to make their foods safely and efficiently. “You can see their faces when they learn something new — like, oh, I didn’t know I should pay attention to that, or I always knew that was something to do but I didn’t know why it was happening,” Espinoza said. Kelly Woo, who lives in Atlanta, visits Baton Rouge every two weeks to mix and package her Southern Art brand of hot sauce in the incubator. Woo said she got the idea for her product 10 years ago, but she wanted to make a version using only natural ingredients before selling it. “I make my products for my customers just like I would make it for myself,” Woo said. She said the incubator helps her honor that commitment to giving customers the best product. Espinoza worked with Woo to make the hot sauce shelf stable without using chemical preservatives. Woo said the incubator helped set her hot sauce apart from others because it is now all natural, GMO-free and locally produced.

Funding OK’d to improve Wi-Fi Tuition Task Force
discusses increases
Renee Barrow Contributing Writer
The Student Technology Fee Committee discussed how to allocate the remaining STF fund of $222,143 in a meeting Monday afternoon. At its next meeting — the last of the fall semester — the committee determined plans to have more accurate information from the fall to help project the spring semester’s potential spending amount. “I do not think this committee’s objective is to save money,” said Robert Kuhn, vice provost and associate vice chancellor for budget and planning and interim CFO. “It is to spend the money to serve the needs of the students.” Information Technology Services was the only group to request additional funding at the Monday meeting, and it was granted $160,000 of the $210,000 it requested. After approving this funding, the committee was left with $62,143 that can be divided among other campus programs. The ITS funding was divided into four proposals, but only two were passed. Those two proposals made up the $160,000. The first proposal requested $20,000 to help assist in paying for campus-wide software agreements. Director of Information Technology Services Michael Smith said this year’s campus agreement with

Microsoft was more expensive than expected, which could cause problems with some software. Smith made it clear that Microsoft Office is paid for and will continue to be available for use. With a majority vote, this proposal passed. The next passing proposal called for a $140,000 wireless network capacity expansion in Coates Hall and the Student Union. “This would add 45 access points to the Union and about 25 to Coates,” Smith said. The Student Union has more wireless users than Coates, which is why more access points will be put
there, Smith said. The two failing proposals asked for new software. The committee decided it would rather see its funding go toward supporting more wireless network improvements. It determined more information was needed about who uses the software, for what, and how often before funding it. The vote was deferred until the Nov. 18 meeting.

The Tuition Task Force, created through a resolution written by state Rep. Stephen Ortego, DCarencro, had its first meeting earlier this month. Members of the task force had the opportunity to discuss resolving tuition increases in Louisiana postsecondary education institutions including LSU. LSU had two representatives from the University. According to the Board of Supervisors, the University’s representatives were Student Government President John Woodard and Wendy Simoneaux, the University’s chief financial officer and assistant vice president for budget and finance and comptroller. “One thing we are lucky to have in Louisiana is TOPS,” Ortego said. He said some students are not taking full advantage of the TOPS program, especially those who plan on attending two-year colleges. “There are definitely some tweaks I think that need to be made to TOPS,” Ortego said. He said in today’s global economy, almost everyone needs to have at least have a two-year degree to be competitive in the job market. According to Ortego, the first meeting was a kind of orientation for
all of the members of the task force. The task force discussed the reasons why postsecondary education tuition is increasing in Louisiana, and what kind of policy changes they can recommend to the state legislature. The meeting made “sure everyone is up to speed,” Ortego said. In the past five years, the percentages for funding postsecondary education have flip-flopped, Ortego said. According to Ortego, five years ago, 30 percent of funding was provided by tuition and 70 percent of funding was provided from the state. Now, funding is 70 percent from tuition and 30 percent from the state. There are 23 members on the task force and 10 of the members are students. Five of the student members are public high school students and the other five members are public postsecondary institution students. Ortego said he is hopeful the task force has peaked the legislature’s interest in postsecondary education issues. Ortego said the Speaker of the House mentioned postsecondary education issues should be a high priority during regular session in 2014.

[Top] Michigan coach Bo Schembechler is arguably the biggest influence in [right] LSU coach Les Miles’ coaching career.
he nor Schembechler remained loyal to the coach’s advice. Schembechler gave the 26-year-old his first coaching job as a graduate assistant with Michigan’s offensive line. Miles laughed as he fondly remembered his short time under Schembechler’s tutelage. His demeanor was proud but humble as he retold tales of getting an earful after showing up late for his first day on the job — he was an hour early.
When organizers for next year’s College Football Playoff officially announced the 13 members of the new selection committee last week, the most controversial name chosen was former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. During College Gameday’s trip to Evanston, Ill., for the Northwestern-Ohio State game on Oct. 5, ESPN analyst David Pollack drew ire from many when he suggested women shouldn’t be on the committee. He claimed members should be able to “tell you about different teams on tape, not on paper.” Later that week, former Auburn coach Pat Dye said on a radio show, “All [Rice] knows about football is what somebody told her. ... To understand football, you’ve got to play with your hand in the dirt.” The opinions of Dye and Pollack are not only puzzling, but their statements reflect barriers in football that draw many away from the sport. Pollack is entitled to his opinion, but let’s get something straight: having an Adam’s apple does not hinder my view on romantic comedies, and Rice lacking one does not hinder her football knowledge. Maybe Dye and Pollack didn’t know Rice served as Stanford University’s provost, a position to which Stanford athletics directly report, from 1993-1999. In fact, Rice hired

A sly smirk stretched across Les Miles’ face as he sat in his team meeting room, surrounded by the culture and tradition he’d spent the previous nine years building along the banks of the Mississippi River. It wasn’t the familiar look he gets just before ranting about defenders getting their hands up or people kissing his players on the mouth — if they’re a girl. But instead, for a brief
moment, the man in the iconic, oversized-LSU ball cap drifted back to Ann Arbor, Mich., and the legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler who took a chance on an undersized guard from Elyria, Ohio. Miles credited Schembechler as one of the biggest influences in his coaching career. He said he frequently reviews the examples Schembechler set for him when making decisions in his current program. But somewhere on his trip
down memory lane, one piece of advice stuck out in Miles’ mind when thinking about his relationship with the Hall of Fame coach who won 13 Big Ten Conference championships in his 21-year career. “[Schembechler] said, ‘Don’t get into coaching,’” Miles said of his mentor. “He said, ‘If you get into coaching, it’ll get in your blood and you’ll be there forever.’ He said, ‘Only come if you have to,’ and I did.” Fortunately for Miles, neither

Miles admits mistakes in wake of loss to Ole Miss Motivation not a problem for future Trey Labat Sports Contributor
In the wake of No. 13 LSU’s loss to Ole Miss, coach Les Miles admitted clock management mistakes and upcoming changes to defensive personnel in his weekly press conference Monday afternoon. Miles admits having poor clock management At the end of the loss to Ole
Miss, Miles once again struggled with clock management in a lategame situation. With a little more than 20 seconds left on the clock and Ole Miss setting up for a game winning field goal, LSU waited to call a timeout until there were six seconds left on the clock, effectively killing any chance of a game-winning drive. Miles said he wishes he had called the timeout immediately, saving the Tigers 20 seconds. It was ultimately Miles’ decision to wait and call that timeout with only six seconds left on the clock. Miles debated with his coordinators whether to call the timeout immediately and set up the block,
or to let the clock run in an attempt to “ice” the kicker before the field goal attempt. “Now, I look at the back end of the game, and on the field goal, they drive the field, they’re lining up to kick the field goal, and the initial strategy was going to be to ice the kicker and block it. Well, I liked it,” Miles said. “I figured that I’d save the timeout for that, and then I said, ‘Hey, wait a minute, we have already blocked this team.’ We could not be in any better position to go onto the field, and at that point in time, I wished I had every one of those seconds back.” LUNCH WITH LES, see page 7

Players looking forward to Furman after Oxford loss Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer
Two days after No. 13 LSU’s 27-24 upset loss against Ole Miss, the feeling of defeat still flowed throughout the Tigers’ practice facility. With two losses now on LSU’s record, both a Southeastern Conference Championship appearance and any opportunity to hold the Coaches’ Trophy at the end of the year seem minimal, barring further imploding by the remaining squads in the conference. LSU (6-2, 3-2 SEC) has its homecoming game against Furman (3-4) on Saturday, but a somber attitude hangs over the Tigers as they shift attention to the Paladins. “You take it one day at a time, keep working, look forward to Furman and play the rest of the games this season,” said junior wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. “I think they know in the back of their minds that there’s a lot of season left to be played. I don’t know how many games we have left, but we’re going to come out and give our best effort every single time.” Saturday’s contest will be LSU’s ninth week of games, with the squad’s first bye week coming the following weekend. Junior wide receiver Jarvis Landry said the mood in the locker
room is still hopeful, as the squad looks to shake off its woes from Oxford, Miss., and move forward through its schedule. Landry said SEC contests still matter even with LSU’s two-loss record, and Texas A&M and Alabama next on the conference schedule. “That’s the vibe right now with the team,” Landry said. “With these next few games coming up ... we still want to play [those SEC teams], and we’re excited to play those guys. It may not be a hyped rivalry anymore due to rankings, but to us it still is.” Ole Miss’ speed option effective The week leading up to the Tigers’ matchup against the Rebels, the LSU defensive line and linebackers spent time in the film room preparing for the opposing rushing attack in Oxford. LSU currently boasts the No. 8 rushing defense in the conference, allowing 155.5 rushing yards per game. On Saturday, Ole Miss junior quarterback Bo Wallace and sophomore running back Jaylen Walton combined for 124 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Though Tigers’ junior defensive tackle Ego Ferguson said they saw the speed option on film, Ole Miss still made it an effective form of its game plan. “They just did a good job changing it up on us,” Ferguson said. “When we watched film, it
was a lot of speed option, but they kind of used the film against us. It was basically a speed option, but they cut it up on our ends ... and we weren’t getting over the top in time.” players take blame off Miles Following Saturday’s loss, blame was tossed around the Tigers’ locker room from senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger to head coach Les Miles. Miles took criticism for his clock management toward the end
of the contest, as he called the Tigers’ final timeout with six seconds remaining in the game, allowing Ole Miss to set up the game-winning kick. Some fans and analysts believed Miles should have called the timeout sooner. After the game, Miles put the blame on himself. “It’s a good feeling to have a coach behind you to take the blame for a game like that even when it’s not his fault,” Beckham said. “It’s us as a whole, as a team. Everybody is hurting from it. I
don’t blame it on him.” Ferguson said he appreciates his coach not throwing any of the blame toward the players. “We definitely appreciate it a lot because he could have easily gone out there and said, ‘This is the reason why we lost,’” Ferguson said. “He put it on himself.” Contact Lawrence Barreca at lbarreca@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @LawBarreca_TDR

Scott leads Lady Tigers in Auburn Morton, Taylor impress in doubles Taylor Curet Sports Contributor
As LSU junior transfer Noel Scott walked off Auburn University’s blue hardcourts Saturday, the defeat she suffered resonated in her thoughts much like the sound of shuffling sneakers that echoed among the Yarbrough Tennis Center ’s rafters. But despite Scott’s loss in the third round of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southern Regional Championships, Lady Tiger coach Julia Sell sensed progress. LSU joined 13 teams in Auburn, Ala., this weekend to showcase its talents among four fellow Southeastern Conference foes. Team scores were not calculated but the Lady Tigers posted five singles and two doubles victories in the event. Two of those singles wins came from Scott, as her tournament run ended in the round of 16 with a loss to eventual-champion No. 18 Pleun Burgmans of Auburn. As Scott led the match three games to none in the first set and 4-1 in the second, frustration began to mount as she eventually lost 6-3, 6-4. However, Sell was able to keep Scott’s performance against the tournament’s No. 1 player in perspective.
“You’re watching that match indoors, a round of 16, and I thought I was watching the finals of regionals,” Sell said. “ ... [Burgmans] is probably one of the best players in college tennis ... [Noel] really actually should’ve won the match and just let a few mental mistakes creep in there. But she played really well.” The team consisting of senior Ariel Morton and sophomore Ella Taylor joined Scott in play on Saturday as they defeated Ole Miss’ second-seeded Marija Milutinovic and Caroline RhodeMoe 8-5 in the second round of doubles. LSU’s win against the Rebels’ No. 24 pairing was impressive enough despite the fact that this weekend marked the first time Morton and Taylor have ever teamed up together. The duo started practicing together just two days before the tournament when junior Mary Jeremiah, the Lady Tigers’ top doubles player, was ruled out due to injury. But Sell said she saw a spark in the pair last week that prompted her to give them a shot. “There’s so much team chemistry that goes into doubles and they’re kind of like that unlikely pair,” Sell said. “They thought I was crazy when I put ’em together. They both kind of looked at me and rolled their eyes and were like, ‘Are you sure coach?’ But the way that they talk with each other and keep working through the match ... they played
great. It’s the best doubles play I’ve seen either of them do since I’ve been working with them.” Morton and Taylor fell in the quarterfinal round to Alabama’s fifth-seeded Mary Anne Daines and Natalia Maynetto. Taylor and freshman Gabrielle Otero both notched singles victories in the first round before being knocked out in the second. Otero’s 6-4, 6-4 win came against Mississippi State’s ninth-seeded Alexandra Perper. Freshman Skylar Holloway followed her opening-round loss to ninth-seeded, tournament runner-up Emily Flickinger of Auburn with a 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 defeat of Mississippi State’s Roseline Dion in the consolation draw. With three freshmen and a transfer new to the Lady Tigers squad this fall, Sell expects there to be some growing pains. With the first exposure to SEC competition in the books, Sell said LSU can hold its heads high. “We’re just new. I think the errors we made, matches we lost, we just showed our youth,” Sell said. “Kind of some rookie mistakes but really that’s what you expect from your freshmen and this is just an ideal time for them to kind of learn this lesson. ... I feel really confident about our ability going up against a lot of the other SEC teams this year.”

Tyrone Willingham to be Stanford’s coach in 1994. I doubt a school like Stanford would have their next coach hired by someone who only knows what other people told her. Rice also grew up in a Birmingham, Ala., football family, living with a dad who was a football coach when she was born. In a conference call Oct. 16, Rice cited Alabama controversially being ranked behind Notre Dame in the final 1966 Associated Press poll as motivation to join the committee. Only a real football fan could feel so wronged by a controversial decision that they would bring it up in a meeting 47 years later. Remember, this is the woman who served as secretary of state for four years. It’s fair to say that dealing with the Middle East and North Korea is a little tougher than analyzing Ohio State’s strength of schedule. The real problem here is the elitist idea that someone has to have competed in football to be an expert of the game. It is a way of thinking: “If you never played the game, you just don’t get it.” I wonder if anyone told that to Pete Rozelle, commissioner of the NFL from 1960-1989, despite never playing football himself. Rozelle took a 12-team league that received worse ratings than its college product and turned it into the sport America craves more than anything else. He is also known for the creation of a neutral site for the Super Bowl and Monday Night Football. And I know this isn’t much of a news flash, but there are a lot of players who have “put their hand in the dirt” and lack some basic knowledge in the game they play. Hell, Donovan McNabb made it into the NFL without knowing that there can be ties in the league. As the committee begins its work next year, I am sure some of the 12 other members will dismiss the lone woman and use the same backwards train of thought used by Dye and Pollack. It is up to the other members to defend Rice and realize the wealth of knowledge she brings to the table. Football does not get sensational, committed minds like Rice often. As a fan of the game, I hope it isn’t thrown away. Tommy Romanach is a 21-year-old mass communication junior from Dallas, Texas. Contact Tommy Romanach at tromanach@lsureveille.com
MICHIGAN, from page 5
Working for a coach who adopted the slogan, “Those who stay will be champions,” wasn’t much different from his playing days as a player. Miles’ first year coaching for Michigan, Schembechler’s staff featured three assistants who would go on to win national championships of their own. “I came in to coach the centers and guards and I can remember us talking about a base block.” Miles said. “I had to fight for air in that room. There were enough quality opinions; they just needed me to listen. I thought it was magnificent.” But the Schembechler disciple was destined for bigger things as he left the familiar home of The Big House to pursue a head coaching career. Miles said he made sure to stay close with Schembechler, calling him from time to time about which
coaching jobs he should take. Miles said Schembechler cautiously advised him to avoid jobs that may close the door back to Michigan for good. “He never really told me no,” Miles said. “But there were some jobs he’d say, ‘That might be a barrier you might not want to cross to be able to come back to Michigan.’ And I smiled, but he [also] said, ‘But there’s no guarantee you’ll come back to Michigan.’” While head coach at Oklahoma State, Miles came to Schembechler with a new coaching offer, and this time, Schembechler had a different piece of advice for his former lineman. “I called him about the LSU job and he said to me, ‘I had a friend in that [Former LSU coach Charles] McClendon and that McClendon was awfully, awfully proud of that school. I think you better check into that one pretty good,’” Miles recalled. “He never said anything
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 like that, but that was the closest I got from an endorsement from Bo.” That would also be one of the last pieces of advice the former coach gave Miles, as the winningest coach in Michigan history died of a heart attack in the fall of 2006 just one day before No. 2 Michigan played No. 1 Ohio State — a game the Wolverines lost by three points. Miles’ demeanor switched dramatically as he recalled his mentor’s death. The typically unpredictable and light-hearted coach’s face fell solemn as he spoke about having to leave after LSU’s game against Arkansas that season to be at Schembechler’s funeral the following Monday. “I saw a church full of people who were connected by Michigan and Bo Schembechler,” Miles said. “They were all people who my association with them served me greatly. I am so in debt to Bo and those people who allowed me to learn and study my trade and take a
piece of Michigan with me.” Miles honored his former coach less than a year and a half later when LSU found itself in the national championship game against the school Schembechler spent so many years competing for titles with — Ohio State. LSU beat the Buckeyes in New Orleans, and Miles became the third and final assistant of that 1980 coaching staff to earn a championship. But despite all the celebration and excitement, two people were missing from the sellout crowd in the Superdome that day. First, was Miles’ father, Bubba, who passed away in 2000. The second was the man who took a shot on an undersized guard from Elyria, Ohio. Contact Mike Gegenheimer at mgegenheimer@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @Gegs1313_TDR

The Londoner
PRICE: $9.99 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: It’s nothing special, but that’s not a bad thing. A poboy has never been a fancy sandwich, so no need to make it look the part. But, the fried catfish is crunchy and the seasonings don’t overpower the fish, letting its flavors accent the sandwich. New Orleans may be the poboy capital of the world, but this sandwich can fend for itself. RATING:
PRICE: $12 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: Fish sitting next to a nice helping of fries — it looks like what anyone would expect. Why overcomplicate something that doesn’t need to be? For pub food, you can’t beat fish and chips, and The Londoner does it best. The fish may be a tad bit greasy, but it still has a great flavor that can’t be beat. The fries are salty and accent the fish for an amazing combination. RATING:
Catfish Poboy
Fish and Chips
Mestizo Restaurant
Shrimp and Crab Quesadilla
PRICE: $14 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: The quesadilla speaks for itself with a light garnishing of cheese; it looks elegant and appealing. As for the taste, I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but it surprised me. The crab and shrimp meshed well with the other ingredients, creating a fantastic mix. I thought the quesadillas were a bit sloppy, but they’re still delicious. RATING:

Koi Sushi
Chelsea’s Cafe
Louisiana Alligator
Jurassic Roll
Fried Calamari and Parmesan Poboy
PRICE: $10.95 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: Marinated and served blackened or fried, Louisiana alligator is one of the most popular dishes served at The Chimes. But the sauce is the boss, as far as this dish is concerned. The rich dipping sauce that comes with it gives the alligator that perfect kick of flavor. Although the blackened gator was a bit too chewy for my taste, the marinade sauce all but made up for it. RATING:
PRICE: $13.95 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: Although sushi isn’t always associated with seafood, this roll is bathing in it. Not only is it topped with eel, fresh salmon and avocado, it’s also loaded with crawfish tails and more avocado on the inside. Not to mention it’s dripping with spicy mayo, eel sauce and crunchy batter. The presentation alone will make you drool, but it’s the flavors mixing perfectly together with the avocado that make this roll a real winner. RATING:
PRICE: $9.95 PRESENTATION AND TASTE: I had no idea what to expect for my first squid poboy. I live for a good New Orleans-style poboy, but this was foreign to me. The non-traditional soft poboy bread held the sandwich together nicely, and its flavor made up for the absence of French bread. Stuffed with endless amounts of fried calamari and served with tomato basil and French fries, this is easily one of the best sandwiches in Baton Rouge. RATING:

Kevin Devine launches national tour, two new albums
Indie musician to play in NOLA Rebecca Docter Entertainment Writer
Buzzing along a crowded New York City street, Kevin Devine is running his final errands before he begins his lengthy U.S. tour, followed by dates in the U.K. “The albums came out yesterday and we leave for tour tomorrow, so I’m tying up all the loose ends,” Devine said over the phone. Albums. Plural. Defying what everyone expected of the singer-songwriter, Devine facilitated a double release of his seventh and eighth studio albums on Oct. 15. And, what’s more, the albums are completely crowdfunded. Rewind to mid-January, when Devine used Kickstarter, an Internet-based crowd-funding platform to support his albums. In exchange for donations, Devine promised two albums, one with a full band and one solo (along with a tour to support each). His goal was $50,000. He received $114,805. “I didn’t think it was going to be a failure, but I didn’t know what to think at first. I went back and forth about how it was actually going to perform. I have a basic idea of how many people buy our records, but I didn’t know how that was going to project with the Kickstarter. I honestly thought I was going to have an outside chance of $50,000, but I thought it was going to take the entire 45 days and it would be some nail-biting towards the end. I was blown away by it,” Devine said. And to make the process even more rewarding for those
who donated, Devine had two producers hiding up his sleeve. The first was Rob Schnapf, who is known for his production work with Elliot Smith and Beck. The second, who produced the full band record, was Jesse Lacey of the post-rock band Brand New. Due to their close friendship and professional relationship, Lacey accompanied Devine in the past, providing backing vocals on 2009’s “Brother’s Blood” and 2005’s “Split the Country, Split the Streets.” “Jesse is obviously a very formidable songwriter in his own right, and he had very clear ideas about what he thought aesthetically and in terms of construction of songs. He had a very fresh perspective — he really helped push the songs into that direction. The record certainly has his fingerprints on it,” Devine said. The writing style of “Bubblegum” (the punk-influenced album) is also different from the way “Bulldozer” (the singersongwriter-influenced album) was crafted due to the full band aspect of the record. In the past, Devine has reserved his “Goddamn Band” for touring purposes, but this time the three members had the opportunity to directly contribute to the making of the album. “[You have] musical shorthand with people you’ve played with that much. You just start to kind of anticipate each other,” Devine said. “‘Bubblegum’ is more of a band record and less like just a guy. It’s not articulating one person’s vision and then having a band coming together to make a record.” Even though this was his first time working in a traditional full band setting, Devine has had his share of collaborations with other artists. In addition to his work with Lacey and Brand New, in early 2010 he formed the group Bad Books with members of
Manchester Orchestra. “Bad Books exists as a place for members to take a breath and enjoy themselves,” Devine said. “I think it’s made me a more confident singer, and I think I have an interesting and cool singular voice when I use it, but not in a traditional way. I think I can do things with my voice that other people can’t.” And the road to becoming a confident singer has been a long one that began with Devine’s first release, “Circle Gets The Square.” “I wrote that record when I was an 18-year-old kid, and now I’m a 33-year-old man. Some people show up fully formed — Kurt Cobain was 23 when he wrote “Nevermind”— but other people don’t show up to the party with all their tricks up their sleeves,” Devine said. For Devine, every record leading up to “Bubblegum” and “Bulldozer” has focused on a certain part of being a songwriter. In every record, he’s tweaked something different and he finally feels that he’s made his best records. And Devine is ready to finally bring his records to his fans. To say that Devine knows his tourmate well would be putting it lightly. He’s known Harrison Hudson for the past five years, and for two of those, Hudson has been Devine’s tour manager. When it came time for Devine to choose a tourmate, Hudson was an obvious option. Now, Now, Devine’s other tour support, joined the “Bubblegum” tour a bit differently. When he was writing “Bulldozer,” Devine had Now, Now’s albums on repeat and in many ways, the band influenced the songwriting that appears on “Bulldozer.” Now, Now was the only band Devine had slated for support (besides Hudson), and had the band not come through, Devine did not have a backup plan.

Angola Rodeo blurs line between fun, exploitation KELLEY TELLS IT Shamiyah Kelley Entertainment Writer Every year, the prisoners at Louisiana State Penitentiary, better known as Angola, gather around to fight bulls and sell handmade crafts and food. Originally started as a morale booster for inmates at the prison, the Angola Rodeo has become a tradition with roots reaching back to 1965. It is the longest running prison rodeo in the country. The Angola Rodeo is a huge hit among the general public and inmates alike, year after year. However, this seemingly fun and harmless event has some
moral and ethical issues. Inmates sometimes get hurt in the ring with bulls charging at them full speed. How many inmates are out there because they think it will be fun? How many have simply lost the will to live and don’t mind putting themselves in danger for the entertainment of the general public and prison guards? While there is onsite medical help available in the event of an emergency, the ethical implications still linger. Where is the line drawn between harmless fun and exploitation? One of the rodeo events, known as “Convict Poker,” is particularly dangerous. Four inmates sit at a table playing poker in the middle of the arena. Then a wild bull is released into the arena with
them. Whoever is the last man left in the chair wins the event. Reminiscent of the Roman gladiators (read: glorified slaves), these events are barbaric at best. As a way of punishment, many Roman slaves were held in a “work-house,” which is similar to our modern state penitentiary system. Slaves also fought in the arena as gladiators hoping to be freed from servitude. Here in Louisiana, as well as many other states, inmates are used as free labor. The Angola Rodeo just adds to the laundry list of parallels between gladiators and inmates in the state penitentiary system. In the times of Roman slavery, some people were sentenced to slavery as punishment for committing a crime — much like criminals in Louisiana, who are
convicted and consequently housed in facilities and used as free labor throughout the area. Louisiana has the highest number of incarcerations per capita in the nation with more than 40,000 inmates. In Louisiana, about half of previous offenders will find themselves back in prison within five years of leaving. While the ethical issues this event brings about are unsettling, there are a few redeeming qualities about the Angola Rodeo. This event provides incentive for good behavior among the inmates and gives them something to look forward to. Additionally, money raised from the Angola Rodeo has been used to create an interfaith chapel on the prison premises. Future funds will be donated to the inmate welfare fund and used
to supplement the development of prison facilities. The prison inmates choose to participate in the rodeo and no one forces them to do so. But it is still important to understand the uncanny parallels that exist between the rodeo and the antiquated Roman gladiators. Personally, I find the whole thing quite barbaric, but I can understand how this can be an exciting experience for some inmates who want a break from the monotony of everyday prison life.

Administration should follow students’ lead on LGBT policies THE BOX DOES NOT EXIST Jana King Columnist Spectrum, LSU’s LGBT and allies student organization, is making great strides for the queer community here at LSU. However, the group is seeing little involvement or support from the administration. Just last week, Spectrum painted the campus various colors as it invited us all to celebrate National Coming Out Day. This week, if you stop by Free Speech Plaza, you’ll see the organization tabling for Ally week, celebrating the cisgender, a person whose sexual identity and biological sexuality are the same, and straight identifying individuals who support the LGBT community. That being said, I am proud to call myself an LSU student, as the school is what graduate student of social work Anthony Basco describes as “supportive toward LGBTQ issues.” Basco is the student coordinator for First Contact Peer Mentoring Program, a vital LSU resource partnering LGBT students seeking help with a peer mentor. The program is a partnership between Spectrum and the Office of
Multicultural Affairs. When I visited the Ally Week table sit, I spoke with Spectrum’s Vice President of Administration Moriah Graham. While we spoke about the strides being made here at LSU, we seemed to come to one conclusion — the administration is failing in comparison to it’s students’ efforts. Spectrum currently supports First Contact, Louisiana Queer Conference and classroom panels to educate LSU students. “The problem is that we’re only students. We’re doing this around class and jobs,” Graham said. She makes a valid point — the students at LSU have so much on their plates already. They shouldn’t have the added burden of improving LSU’s policies. That should be the job of LSU’s administration. Perhaps the most disappointing shortcoming of LSU is its lack of LGBT academic program. Sure, there are programs, such as women’s and gender studies, which skirt around the issues facing those in the community, but how can we expect to see a change in the attitudes in our community if we aren’t acknowledging that this group of individuals exists at all? Our university is located deep in the heart of the bible belt, and unfortunately that means there is danger for the LGBT community.
Our own LSU student government is working with Spectrum to improve the quality of life for transgender students, as the two groups are in the works for a project that would allow students to change their name in Moodle, which Basco feels will protect those students from being outed, as most professors print their rosters from Moodle. Graham, however, feels that there is a greater need for the administration to help in the fight for LGBT students. “There is a place for students, but it shouldn’t be up to students,” she stated. Along with the inability to change names on university documents to reflect transgender status and a lack of academic programs, there is a lack of accountability for transphobic and homophobic teachers. That’s not something that the students can reprimand, and the potential for an ugly scandal is there as long as LSU administrators don’t work to prevent it. While I admire and applaud Graham and Basco along with the rest of the LSU community that is working to improve our campus in respect to LGBT relations, I feel the burden is being unfairly placed on their shoulders. As the policy states, LSU works toward equal opportunity for all qualified persons in admission

Students’ ignorance about government continues NEUTRAL GROUND Eli Haddow Columnist The shutdown is over, the debt ceiling has been raised and the country is going back to the prosperous days we are used to. Or so many would think. Winston Churchill famously said, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” But if he had the same conversation with a college student today, it would probably take him about 30 seconds to realize that our democracy was in peril. Students on this campus, and others around the country are helplessly ill-informed about the events changing the landscape of their country. We do this both by choice and by habit, because our
generation has a weird phobia of consulting traditional news sources before voicing our loud opinions on social media. When we woke up on Thursday, the day the United States would have defaulted on its debt and potentially sent us into another great depression, many took note that the government had reopened and celebrated the return of the panda cam. On a side note, I’m not sure how many of us knew the shutdown and the default were two different things to begin with. But that’s the least of our problems in an environment where college students rely on social media to update them on their surroundings. Buzzfeed conducted a social media study that gauged interest in the government shutdown around the country and across age groups. Although the results were generalized, the study showed

that Louisiana college students had the minumum amount of percapita Facebook mentions compared to other states, particularly in the Northeast. This is the root of a systemic failure. When we consider our position in society, we ought to be ashamed at the level of interest we show in national and state politics. We are not only voters in a democracy that relies on our wit to function, but we are the next in line to take over the running of our nation’s businesses and public institutions. This generation deserves better information, and it is right out there for the taking. The New York Times, USA Today and The Advocate are three papers available on campus that are capable of informing this student body. But we refuse to pick them up, and stacks of newspapers lie untouched in front of
Middleton Library every day. The Daily Reveille is somewhat to blame. It is the most widely distributed source of news on campus, and it reaches the most students. But if you read our front pages over the last couple of weeks, you may have caught one or two articles on the minimal impact the shutdown would have at LSU. It should have graced the cover nearly every day, as it did in most newspapers across the country. But students shouldn’t expect to get all of their news from a student newspaper or the social media. It is entirely up to us to stay informed so that we may participate in our democracy without relying on our parents’ or friends’ opinions to guide us. We, as the future of this country, have to reclaim some sort of intellectual independence and consult objective news sources so

Middle schools deserve armed protection BRACE YOURSELF Ryan McGehee Columnist Early Monday morning, Americans were bombarded with the all-too-familiar reports of another school shooting. At Sparks Middle School in Sparks, Nev., two individuals were fatally shot, and two minors were injured. Even more tragic, an eyewitness, 13-year-old student Kyle Nucum told the Reno GazetteJournal that he saw a classmate commit the act. The suspect is reported to have died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound. How many of these shootings are going to happen before we come to grips with some basic truths about gun violence in schools? Since the majority of schools in the United States — elementary through high school — are gun-free zones, they are prized targets for would be mass murderers; they know no one will be there to shoot back at them. When police officers do arrive on scene, it is at that point that the shooter usually turns their gun on themselves, or is eventually neutralized by the police. So, we can reasonably
conclude that bad guys with guns are only stopped by the presence of good guys with guns. The time has come for us to stop kidding ourselves, and give these kids the adequate protection they deserve. Every school in America needs some form of armed security to stave off attacks from these homicidal psychopaths that feel the need to kill children. We here at LSU are extraordinarily blessed to have never had a mass shooting. Sure, we live in close proximity to some of Baton Rouge’s rougher neighborhoods, but to this date, no one has walked onto campus with the sole intent of murdering as many of us as they could. That in part is owed to our stellar police force, the LSU Police Department. With officers patrolling throughout campus, they are first responders for any situation, from automobile accidents to the occasional armed robbery. They even keep what is known as a Special Response Team, or SRT, at the ready should the unthinkable happen and there is an active shooter situation at LSU. What’s more, a large portion of us are eligible to purchase handguns and obtain concealed carry weapon, or CCW, permits.
If state licensed individuals were allowed to register with LSU PD and carry on campus, it would be yet another ring of protection for us. When seconds matter, the police are minutes away. And no, allowing concealed carry on campus would not magically transform it into the Wild West. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the crime rate for CCW permit holders is less than 1 percent for all crime. We are afforded the highest levels of protection; why shouldn’t children be given the same? Even those bumbling idiots on Capitol Hill have constant security. Be it off-duty police officers, private security guards, or even properly licensed school administrators and teachers, each school needs a permanent, armed deterrent from people like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two students who killed 13 people at Columbine High School in 1999. Hell, given the number of out-of-work veterans, I’m sure that there are droves of patriots that would love to stand guard for our children every day. There has to be action taken to circumvent these horrific events. If the safety of our children really is paramount, then our response to this kind of event
should reflect that. Enough is enough. Ryan McGehee is a 20-year-old political science, international studies and history junior from

Congress’ crisis-driven policy causing economic damage SHARE THE WEALTH Jay Meyers Columnist Last week, the government finally reopened after its 16-day hiatus, and the U.S. also avoided an economically calamitous threat of a default on its debt. Unfortunately, though, these battles are far from over. For one, Congress merely kicked the can down the road by voting on a temporary fix to fund the federal government through Jan. 15 and extend the Treasury Department’s borrowing authority to Feb. 7. In other words, we could find ourselves going through the exact same situation in a few months. Many in the Republican Party, such as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, claim there will be no further brinksmanship over funding the government or raising the debt ceiling, as it would be politically disastrous to make such moves once again. Nothing could be further from the truth, except the part about hostage-taking being politically disastrous for the GOP. Call me a cynic, but House
Republicans were insane enough to provoke this past crisis, so why assume they have suddenly learned their lesson? Looking beyond this, however, it’s important to understand how economically destructive the circus in Washington really is. From extortion to obstruction, politicians are constantly ginning up fear and uncertainty, which is having overwhelmingly negative effects on our economy. But don’t take it from me, listen to what the experts have to say in a new report issued by the consulting firm Macroeconomic Advisers. In its report, Macroeconomic Advisers estimates that since 2010, “crisis-driven” fiscal policy in Washington has subtracted about 1 percent off of the U.S. growth rate for the past three years. Put in more concrete terms, the value of goods and services that America could and should have produced — but didn’t — was around $700 billion. In addition, the firm estimated that unemployment is 1.4 percentage points higher than it would have been had political confrontation been nonexistent for the past three years. Basically, had there been no sequester, fiscal cliff, government
shutdown or two near defaults on the national debt, we’d have millions more people working and spending money, thus stimulating the economy. It doesn’t take an economist or financial expert to figure this out. The massive amounts of political brinksmanship over the past few years, especially on budget issues, has sowed a great deal of uncertainty. Measures of consumer confidence dropped during the government shutdown, and, with another potential fight over funding the government months ahead, it is unlikely to rebound anytime soon. In other words, consumers — people like you and I — on average feel more pessimistic about our future wealth prospects, which means we will cut back on how much we spend. Measures of how much businesses are investing in things like factories, structures and equipment also fell precipitously as a result of our nation’s crisis driven policy. Indeed, thinking about American politics from a firm’s perspective is actually pretty scary: if the U.S. were to default on its debt, yields on Treasury Notes would undoubtedly spike, which means interest rates —
the cost of borrowing money — would skyrocket, severely discouraging firms from investing in new factories or hiring new workers. Things could be worse. We could have actually defaulted on our debt last week and be nearing double-digit unemployment this week. But we didn’t, and we’re not. The main point is that we need politicians to get back to the
business of governing, and out of the business of creating economic uncertainty. Jay Meyers is a 20-yearold economics junior from Shreveport.

Tuesday, October 22, 2013 E-CIGARETTES, from page 1 to most first-time e-cig users, costs $69.99, a 10-milliliter vial of juice costs about $6 and has a nicotine content and lifespan equivalent to five to seven packs of cigarettes, Kelly said. Kelly also said there are possible health benefits to choosing electronic cigarettes over the regular type, though they have yet to be studied extensively and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Because there is no combustion or open flame involved in the vaping process, users do not inhale the same harmful chemicals and particulate matter cigarettes give you, Kelly said. He said Smokecignals uses only FDA-approved medical- and food-grade additives in its juice mixtures. “I smoked cigarettes for 18 years, and haven’t had one in nine months,” Kelly said. “I feel better. I can walk up stairs without losing my breath. I can smell again and taste again. Those are things that you lose when you smoke cigarettes.” Because electronic cigarettes are a relatively new trend and do not use tobacco, their sale creates a legal gray area, Kelly said. Smokecignals counters this by only selling to users over the age of 18. Lucas Bernard, an international relations senior, works at Smokecignals and specializes in juice mixing. Smokecignals offers more than 100 flavors of juice, Bernard said. He said popular flavors include Black and Blue, a

blackberry and blueberry mixture, Chuckles, a peanut-chocolate-caramel mix that emulates a Snickers candy bar, and Hungry Sarlacc, which Bernard described as a “complex tobacco flavor.” The juice mixtures have four main ingredients, which can be added in varying ratios according to the customer’s taste, Bernard said. The cocktails are composed of liquid nicotine solution, flavorings, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Bernard said the latter two ingredients affect the properties of the juice’s vapor. A higher portion of propylene glycol

Novelle Gibson, a Smokecignals employee, said she prefers juices with no nicotine and higher vegetable glycerin. Gibson is a former chef, and said her work experience has led her to create unique flavor profiles when she mixes juices. She said being a woman in the growing electronic cigarette community is rare, and she hopes more women adopt vaporization. “I’ve been trying to make more female-oriented stuff,”

CRIME, from page 1
Investigators met with the woman and arrested Cade after she identified him in a lineup, Lalonde said. During questioning, Cade told officers the sexual contact was consensual and the woman never told him to stop, but investigators believed they had sufficient evidence of probable cause for an arrest, Lalonde said. Cade was arrested for simple rape and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Oct. 16. Cade could face 25 years in prison if convicted, Lalonde said. Lalonde said it is important for victims of all crime to come
this wonderful neighborhood for years to come.” Trader Joe’s prides itself on providing customers with an array of products for reasonable prices. Alison Mochizuki, Trader Joe’s spokeswoman, said the store is able to provide products for low prices because the chain offers more than 3000 items under the Trader Joe’s private label. She added that the company purchases from manufacturers, not distributors and takes brand name products, removes the preservatives and artificial colors and ingredients, and puts the items under the Trader Joe’s label to sell it at a discount. “Trader Joe’s is going to be a huge plus for all the students on and around campus to have a store so nearby that doesn’t sell you products full of artificial junk, but still manages to keep everything affordable,” Montgomery said.
Contact Alexis Rebennack at arebennack@lsureveille.com forward, but particularly victims of sexual crimes. “Even if it is not to law enforcement, report to medical professionals,” he said. There are resources to assist victims with the process, including those on campus, Lalonde said. Associate Director for Residential Life Jay High said ResLife cannot release any information outside of the police report. ResLife is here to “respect and protect the privacy of our residents,” High said. Contact Zach Carline at zcarline@lsureveille.com
