For many people, Voodoo lineups for the past few years have not been up to par, and this year’s might have seemed to follow the same pattern at first glance. However, if festivalgoers give the lineup a second glance and click through a few Wikipedia articles, they may be surprised at who actually played the three-day Voodoo Music + Arts Experience this weekend.

While a Core Alcohol and Drug survey showed drinking and marijuana use on campus have decreased, there has been an increase of prescription and other drug use that has led to various University departments working together to create more resources for students. Multiple departments on campus are providing alternative activities for events typically associated with alcohol and drugs — like sober tailgates on game days, said Bret Blackmon, Louisiana Center Addressing Substance Use in Collegiate Communities Associate Director.

Class teaches science behind making dairy products Olivia McClure Contributing Writer
Every Thursday afternoon, students in dairy science professor Chuck Boeneke’s class don hairnets and stir pots to make a variety of foods — and they all begin with milk. Their most recent creation: cottage cheese. Boeneke said students in his dairy foods technology class —ANSC 4020 — learn about dairy processing procedures that they apply in their lab. They cover topics such as sanitation,
pasteurizing, the role of fats and milk solids and how to make low fat versions of products. Students use both computer and long hand calculations to formulate recipes. In the lab portion of the class, students make products such as cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream and ice cream using milk from cows at the LSU AgCenter’s dairy farm. Later this semester, the students will make a 1,000-gallon batch of cheddar cheese to be sold in the LSU Dairy Store, Boeneke said. The class gives students an
opportunity to turn what they learn about in class into something tangible. Boeneke said it is a unique experience to taste foods you made, knowing exactly how it got to that stage from the microscopic level. “I don’t guess they realize how much stuff goes into making the products and whenever they really start to see, it’s like, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize there was that much stuff that was involved just in processing milk,’” Boeneke said.

INTERNATIONAL Pussy Riot member sent to new prison, still serving two year sentence MOSCOW (AP) — The Interfax news agency cites Russia’s prison service as saying Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is being sent to a new penal colony. The report Saturday comes after complaints by her husband that there had been no contact with Tolokonnikova in recent days. Tolokonnikova is serving two years following the band’s politically provocative performance in Moscow’s main Orthodox cathedral in 2012. Boat carrying 70 Muslim Rohingya sinks off west coast of Myanmar YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A boat carrying at least 70 Muslim Rohingya capsized and sank Sunday off the western coast of Myanmar, an aid worker said. Only eight survivors have been found. The boat was in the Bay of Bengal and headed for Bangladesh when it went down early Sunday, said Abdul Melik, who works for a humanitarian organization. Family members and friends were scouring the Bay of Bengal and coastlines for survivors, but so far only eight survivors have been found, he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The unemployed motorcycle mechanic suspected in the deadly shooting at the Los Angeles airport set out to kill multiple employees of the Transportation Security Administration and hoped the attack would “instill fear in their traitorous minds,” authorities said Saturday. Paul Ciancia was so determined to take lives that, after shooting a TSA officer and going up an escalator, he turned back to see the officer move and returned to finish him off, according to surveillance video reviewed by investigators.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles left Sunday’s game against the New York Jets with a concussion. Sproles headed to the locker room early in the first quarter, and the Saints announced he was out for the rest of the game shortly before halftime. It was unclear when the injury occurred, but Sproles had a 2-yard catch and was hit hard by Antonio Allen before leaving. The versatile Sproles came into the game with 36 receptions, tying him with Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles for the second-most among NFL running backs, four behind San Diego’s Danny Woodhead.

LSU student announces plan to run for U.S. House seat Kylie Shae Keyser Contributing Writer
University political science Ph.D. student Norman Clark announced Wednesday that he is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District. C l a r k worked in law CLARK enforcement with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office for 13 years, and is a disabled Navy veteran. He received his master’s degree in public administration with a concentration on public policy from the University in 2011. Clark identifies as a Republican with independent views on certain issues. Some of these views include legalizing gay civil unions with the same strength of a marriage, legalizing marijuana with government taxation and regulations to ensure that there are no additives and commercially sell it so there can be a tax on it, and rehabilitation and education in jails, Clark said in an email. He listed some focus issues from his platform on his campaign Facebook page “Norman ‘Norm’ Clark,” which include focusing on domestic issues before foreign affairs, achieving energy independence, ensuring veterans get benefits and eliminating economic stimuli or bailouts. He decided to run for office during the government shutdown. The shutdown and lack of compromise “really struck a nerve,” Clark said. “During every budget crisis, veterans are threatened that their benefits are going to be cut.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs stays busy year round, addressing the challenges facing University students of diverse backgrounds. The OMA hosted its 7th annual Multicultural Leadership Conference on Saturday to help students better understand what it takes to be a leader in an ever-changing world. Allan Purcell Jr., graduate assistant of African-American student affairs in the OMA, coordinated the event and said leadership conferences designed with diversity in mind are essential to the core values of the University. “LSU is the flagship university in the state of Louisiana and has a responsibility to lead,” Purcell said. “It is important to acknowledge diversity and have events like the leadership conference so our students can learn in a different type of setting.” Purcell acknowledged some may not believe leadership conferences are of value to the University and its students, but he said student participation proves otherwise. “We registered over 300 students for the conference,” Purcell said. “This year is the largest the conference has ever been, and we’re very excited about that.” Throughout the conference, participants were able to choose from a variety of lectures ranging from the pitfalls of stereotyping, to
masculinity and gender in leadership roles to becoming an ally to LGBT groups. The event was put on by the OMA and designed with diversity in mind, Purcell said. A large group of diverse students gathered, providing a unique learning opportunity. “The more diversity you have in a group, the more perspectives you have to learn from,” Purcell said. “The more people who come, the more opportunity there is to learn.” Through his own experiences, Purcell said leadership is a term that is often misunderstood and he hoped teaching students in the setting of a conference could help educate them. “Leadership is not always about being out in front guiding others,” Purcell said. “Leadership can be as simple as leading by example and just getting the job done when it can be tough.” While the conference only lasted for a few hours Saturday, Purcell said he is hopeful students will walk away with a better understanding of what it means to lead. “People get so caught up with what they think being a leader means,” Purcell said. “It is about taking personal responsibility, and it’s ultimately about getting the job done. It’s no more and no less than that.”

page 4 VOODOO, from page 1 attention to the vocalist’s screaming rants, they may have noticed that the same voice belongs to Conor Oberst, indie-emo hero of the early ’90s. Oberst started the band back in 2002 but put the project on hold when Bright Eyes started to take off and, 10 years later in 2012, he reinstated Desaparecidos. Similarly, to the untrained eye, The Weeks is just an average southern-rock band from Jackson, Miss., but last year the band was picked up by Kings of Leon’s label, Serpents and Snakes, after a move to Nashville. “Seth Riddle [manager of Kings of Leon’s record label] was helping them with their label and we were on tour with The Meat
Puppets, and Seth Riddle came to that show, and after that he just started talking to us and the ball just started rolling — they’ve been really great since the beginning,” said Cyle Barnes, lead singer of The Weeks, which played Voodoo on Saturday. Since then, the band has seen major success overseas, even being featured in NME on countless occasions. Much like The Weeks, Bad Things has achieved nationwide appeal, but for a different reason. Bad Things had a set Saturday that lacked a large crowd, but it may have been bigger if the audience knew that the guitarist was none other than Olympic snowboarder Shaun White. The band began its tour earlier this year
and will be releasing a self-titled album produced by Rob Schnapf in the next few months. And although many didn’t take the announcement that Florida’s New Found Glory were slotted to play the coveted Saturday afternoon spot, the band is actually seen by some as the “Godfathers of Pop Punk.” “I think it’s pretty amazing, it seems pretty flattering,” Cyrus Bolooki, drummer of New Found Glory, said of the title. The band has played alongside Blink-182 since the band’s inception, and if there was a pop punk hall of fame, these guys would definitely have been inducted. Although originally finding success for its blend of poppunk, Paramore seemed to drop its
Monday, November 4, 2013 rebellious side and embrace the more radio-friendly nature of the band’s music during its Saturday night set. The Paramore of old is no more, as evidenced by both Hayley Williams’ physical transformation and overall attitude toward music. Rocking a short bob with a dose of spunk to match, it’s clear that Williams doesn’t care what people think anymore and that the band’s finally ready to admit that it creates radio-friendly pop hits for the masses instead of edgy pop punk. The band bridged the gap between the grungier Friday and Saturday lineups and the bouncier Sunday sets. The closing-day lineup seemed to drop the punk and left festivalgoers with only pop.

People who hate Alabama and people who hate the BCS are both rooting for the same thing this weekend: chaos. And it’s fitting that both will be placing their trust in LSU coach Les Miles. Miles’ tenure in Baton Rouge has exemplified controlled chaos. He’s become the most successful coach in the program’s history, but nothing has ever been normal, routine or easy under the Michigan man the Tigers hired from Oklahoma State to replace Nick Saban. From the way he talks to his postgame rants to the occasional clock mismanagement, chaos is part of who Miles is. Every time that craziness leads to a bad result, message boards label Miles an idiot and openly call for his job. But the truth is his style has produced the highest winning percentage in program history. However, in the last three seasons, the level of crazy on the field has not matched the level off of it. Miles still has the same zany antics on the sidelines and at the podium, but it seems like ages since the Tigers won a game on a

espite a prominent freshman season, LSU defender Megan Lee is unlikely to be an All-Southeastern Conference selection. Instead, she settled for being among the world’s best last week. Lee’s recent stint with the New Zealand national team highlights a burgeoning trend for the Tigers, as a growing international roster means more players sometimes split loyalties between LSU and their home countries. “It’s happening for teams all over the country,” said LSU coach Brian Lee of college players missing games for international action. “If you’re getting elite players, then dealing with the international calendar will be an issue.” Without much high-level women’s professional soccer around the world, many foreign players have a simple choice: train with their national teams as a bench player or attend college in America. While most choose to play college ball, Megan Lee said her home country’s pull doesn’t go away. “I knew it was going to feel like that — it was the hardest part about choosing to come here,” Megan Lee said. “From a big picture, it was better to play games all the time, but I knew this was a possibility.” Lee didn’t play in a 4-1 loss to the U.S. on Oct. 27 in San Francisco and then got her first international cap in New Zealand’s 1-1 draw Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio. Tennessee junior Hannah Wilkinson, also a New Zealand native, scored the late goal that tied the

Americans. Like Lee, Wilkinson missed important SEC action down the stretch, but LSU may have felt the absence more. The Tigers lost both games Megan Lee missed, part of a five-game losing streak to end the season as they plummeted from first place at the mid-season mark to a No. 7 seed in this week’s SEC Tournament. “I was excited for the opportunity, but at the same time a little sad,” Megan Lee said. “You want to be there with your teammates who you’ve spent months working hard with, but I also had to think of the big picture. International soccer is as good as it gets.” She said that Coach Lee was never

LSU, Auburn meet in first round of SEC tourney Tigers look to snap five-game losing skid Chris Abshire Senior Reporter
For two teams that didn’t play during the regular season, LSU and Auburn seem to be familiar foes as they face off today in the first round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala. Perennial contenders for the now-defunct SEC Western Division crown, the pair of Tigers have met four times in the tournament, with LSU (9-8-2, 5-5-1 SEC) sporting a 2-1-1 record in the matches. But it’s Auburn (7-8-4, 3-5-3 SEC) that comes in with the momentum. The Tigers on the plains went unbeaten in their final six matches,
going 3-0-3 to narrowly nab the No. 10 and final seed. That is the polar opposite of LSU, which led the SEC three weeks ago but lost its final five games to miss out on a first-round bye and stumble to the No. 7 seed. For the second straight year, LSU needs a strong run in the tournament to extend its season. Last year, Ole Miss ousted LSU with a lastminute goal to end the Tigers’ season when a win or two could have earned LSU an NCAA Tournament berth. This time, LSU probably needs even more help. A No. 79 RPI means LSU has little chance to earn an atlarge NCAA berth. “Two quality wins or two top-40 wins would get us there,” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “That means three wins total, and by that time, we’d be in the finals with a chance to earn the automatic bid. That needs to be
the focus: winning games to win the tournament, not for RPI reasons.” The winner will meet No. 2 seed Texas A&M in the second round. The Aggies outlasted LSU 3-2 on Halloween night to close out the regular season. Freshman forward Summer Clarke scored both goals in that match, giving her 10 for the season. With freshman forward Casie Ramsier leading Auburn with nine goals, it makes Monday’s match a freshman showdown. “Summer ’s certainly been our primary scorer, and our offense goes when she goes,” Lee said. “There are freshman all over the league doing it, but we’re happy to have her.” Fellow freshman Emma Fletcher set an LSU freshman record with 12 assists this season, eight of them SOCCER, see page 6

midfielder Caroline Vanderpool missed the first game of the 2006 season to play on the Canadian U-20 team. Ex-LSU forward Taryne Boudreau redshirted in 2008 to play Canada in the 2008 U-20 Women’s World Cup, and former forward Jade Kovacevic missed LSU’s first three games last season for the 2012 cup with the Canadian squad. “I felt like it took me a few games to get back in college life and the practice schedule,” Kovacevic said last September. “The game doesn’t change too, too much, but everything else is a quick adjustment.” For Brian Lee, supporting these players isn’t just being a supportive coach — it’s a recruiting tool. Players return home and give good feedback about LSU, helping the Tigers mine foreign waters for future talent. His support for Megan Lee also shows he is good on his word about national team departures not being an issue, even if it means losing an integral part of the team during a stretch run. “There are times where coaches say things to recruit players that don’t come true when they get in the program,” he said. “This isn’t one of those scenarios. We’re very proud of them and recognize the honor that is playing for your country. It’d be foolish to be upset with them for being good enough to earn that.”

daring coaching gamble or trick play. LSU is nowhere near as good as Alabama. If it wants to go into Tuscaloosa and win Saturday, the Tigers need a classic performance from the Mad Hatter. They’ll need the kind of brilliant insanity that dialed up the tight-end reverse on fourth down to defeat the Tide in 2010, or the successful fake field goals to trick Steve Spurrier and then beat Urban Meyer three years later. Perhaps more importantly, they’ll need the Miles that once played for the last-second touchdown against Auburn and converted five fourth downs against Florida en route to a BCS National Championship.

setting up goals for Clarke. LSU gets freshman Megan Lee back at full strength, as she missed two LSU games and then played two matches in two days last week. She played for New Zealand’s national team in Wednesday’s friendly and then was run ragged as Texas A&M piled up 31 shots Thursday. “Megan’s kind of our ‘Miss Versatile,’” Lee said. “It was a difference not having her like normal. With her in the lineup, we know we can move her to any position on the field and she’ll plug up the problem.” Auburn is one year removed from making the SEC Tournament finals, while LSU has not won a game in Orange Beach since 2010.

But for whatever reason, that magic has disappeared the last few seasons. LSU has become a much more buttoned-down team, especially against elite opponents. And the last time Miles tried to re-conjure some Mad Hatter magic in a big spot (last season’s Alabama game), it misfired. In the second quarter, Miles decided to fake a 47-yard field goal attempt on fourth and 12, which failed miserably. On the next possession, facing a more fakeable fourth and four, Miles let Drew Alleman attempt and miss a 54-yard field goal. The latter led to a Tide touchdown. Then leading in the fourth quarter, LSU failed on a fourthand-one attempt and missed another Alleman field goal. In a
Monday, November 4, 2013 four-point loss, virtually every fourth-down decision Miles made backfired. Going against a superior Alabama team on the road, Miles will again need to gamble if he wants to upend the Tide. The Tigers, especially on defense, are not good enough to line up and defeat the Tide. But with a boost from some well-timed trickery, LSU could pull the win out. That doesn’t mean run trick plays simply for the sake of doing so, like the Zach MettenbergerAnthony Jennings throwback pass or the Seth Fruge fake field goal we saw earlier this season. To use one of Miles’ favorite words, the play has to come at a significant time against a significant opponent.
Miles had a bye week to prepare for Alabama, so he probably spent some of that time drawing up something crazy. It won’t work unless he dials it up at the right time and his team executes it correctly. If not, the Mad Hatter nickname will continue to be a hollow relic of the past as LSU loses to Alabama again.

No PowerPoint? Well, this guy is old. But since listening to his half hour of reasons why “PowerPoint makes you stupid,” I have to agree that the tool developed to keep presentations on track has become one of many crutches educators use to hobble through our tutelage, particularly in large, low-level courses. In classes containing more than about 30 students, instructors lose sight of the individuals. They use standardized teaching methods, assignments and assessments to impart information, and they’re wasting our time and our tuition. Higher education has become more about the profitable business of quickly graduating mass quantities of students than about placing value in our diplomas. Being an alumna of the University will help me to get a job, but the things I’ve learned in

Check out what readers had to say in our online comment section this past week: In response to Ryan McGehee’s column, “Opinion: Ragin’ Cajuns are getting a bit too uppity,” readers had this to say: “Insulting approximately 20% of your teams fanbase is probably not the best policy. And it’s funny that you want to knock ULL for naming their mascot after a group that lost a war, considering the fact that the Fightin’ Tigers are named after regiments of Confederate soldiers from Louisiana, who lost the Civil War last time I checked.” -madmax83

class won’t help me to perform it. University faculty are in a position to correct this unfortunate priority shift. They are the link between the student body and the administration. If professors do their jobs correctly, then students learn, progress in their degrees and graduate — win-win. Boring, by-the-bullet-point lectures inspire the opposite. But with a high curve or mountains of mindless assignments, students can still progress in their degrees and graduate — but the students lose.
I know many people who dream to one day have the power of the teacher: to influence moldable minds, to teach critical thinking skills or to share information on a topic they feel passionate about. So what is it that turns eager teachers to-be into monotonous, apathetic and lazy professors? Reflecting on my past seven semesters of college, the professors and instructors who have had the greatest effect on my education are the ones who understood their audience and
customized their approach to meet and teach at the student level. Some of them used PowerPoint. Some of them gave standardized department exams. But there was something about each one that made them approachable, relatable and engaging in the classroom. These are the environments in which I passed feeling like a better human for having taken the class. When I left the University to study abroad, I expected to
“I’m an LSU alumni, but grew up in Lafayette. My parents and sister all attended USL/ULL. I’ve run into this attitude on both sides and it really is quite small minded. I’m going to give Mr. McGehee a pass on this one, since it’s merely an opinion written by a 20 year old college student. The opinion is clearly indicative of someone with an extremely narrow view and limited life experience. Of course, it could also have been written simply to invoke a reaction. Either way, its just silly rambling and nothing more.” -kreed117
that a director of nursing or a CEO of an oilfield company in Lafayette would hire UL students. However, most everywhere else in the country would overwhelmingly wish to hire an LSU graduate. At this point, I’m not addressing the rest of your rant--I just wanted to touch on the academic arguments. Those are the ones that actually matter. Have a great day.” -337lsu
McGehee has the pleasure of doing the same. Keep supporting your school. Wishing you all the best in your academics and athletics! To Mr. McGehee, you obviously have a way of stirring emotions with your words. How much more powerful a gift would it be if you used your words to inspire! Speak life. Inspire community, not controversy. Katie Stelly LSU Alumna and Lafayette area native” -katiestelly

encounter a palatable difference in teaching styles of LSU’s faculty and my international instructors. After attending five classes taught by about seven different teachers — mostly Dutch — I’m seeing more similarities than I expected. Students everywhere are harboring more responsibility for teaching themselves as professors assign lengthy textbook readings and computer-based homework. If it weren’t for the videos, tutorials and online resources of MyMathLab, I wouldn’t have passed LSU’s Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics. And if I hadn’t taken extensive personal time to outline my assigned readings, I’d be returning in the spring with a very sad-looking transcript. Much like PowerPoint, these are tools that can be constructively used to reinforce lessons, or they can cheat students out of valuable, interpersonal teachings. It is unfortunate how often the latter is true. Morgan Searles is a 21-year-old mass communication senior from Baton Rouge studying abroad in Amsterdam.

DNA database gives government too much power 600 WORDS OF SOMMER Annette Sommers Columnist Prairieville police are holding a man’s DNA hostage after obtaining it for evidence when his wife’s car was broken into Oct. 29. This ridiculous ordeal could be the first of many future attempts to broaden the government DNA database. In Alabama, officials recently set up roadblocks and offered money to drivers who would let them take a cheek swab DNA sample. The samples were taken for a study conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, but officials have yet to release what DNA sampling has to do with the study. At this rate, collecting DNA at checkpoints on Burbank will be the new norm. We could all use the extra $10 for a cheek swab, but at what cost to our constitutional rights? There’s a thin line separating personal rights and government intrusion, and authorities have crossed it. The Fourth Amendment was meant to protect the people from the threatening control of the government. It helps limit their power so we don’t end up in a totalitarian regime. Our country is already offering up our basic rights without much persistence. Gun control limits our right to bear arms and now this. What’s next, eliminating the law against cruel and

Internet hurts writers and musicians alike I’m a sophomore English Creative Writing major at LSU. Additionally, I make music, and I’d love to someday be paid for playing shows and receive compensation for what I create. It’s a dream that I pursue on a daily basis, and from the moment I realized my aspirations of being a writer or musician I also realized the risk involved – both businesses are tough to succeed in, and I’m fully aware of that. But lately I’ve grown downright scared and even cynical when observing the rapidly evolving landscape that I hope to work in someday. I recently read an article in The New York Times by Tim Kreider, titled “Slaves of the Internet, Unite!” in which he expresses the frustration he experiences when asked to write something for

unusual punishment? Police and government officials don’t need your DNA if you haven’t committed a crime. Usually their needs to be probable cause or a warrant issued, but a DNA database would eliminate this step all together. It would give those in power the unquestioned ability to take DNA from whomever they want, regardless of reasoning. I don’t theorize that every government official is out to get me, but there are too many crooked people I wouldn’t trust with my DNA. If you have no problem giving your swab of individuality over to complete strangers free. A fantastic piece, I recommend it to anyone who’d like to know more about how this new phenomenon affects writers and why being asked to write something free of charge for anything other than a grade in a class is unethical. Moreover, I was lead to this article via Twitter by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, adamant in his disdain over the popular streaming site, Spotify. And while critique of this site may be unpopular, Mr. Yorke is right in calling out the company for what it is – a site that pays artists a mere $0.004611 per play while simultaneously robbing musicians of the revenue they need to create, succeed and live. For more on that figure, check out Pitchfork.com’s excellent article, “Making Cents.” The common thread between both outcries is this: both Spotify and entities asking for free written works claim to offer “exposure.” But honestly, how good is exposure when the profits that could be reaped form it are stripped away from artists by the very outlet offering them spotlight? Yes, musicians have live
then go right ahead, but citizens should still get a choice whether or not to comply. In the case of the Prairieville man, the police deviously took his DNA sample and now refuse to erase it from their records. Authorities have responded to the incident by saying that obtaining a victim’s DNA is protocol needed to eliminate their DNA from the crime scene. They also added that it is a completely voluntary process. It sounds like police are covering their own butts after implying to the Prairieville man that it was necessary to take his cheek swab and are now storing his DNA without his permission. Authorities also added that
no law-abiding citizen should worry about this DNA database, a classic intimidation technique. It is the principle of the matter that is worrying these citizens. If the police were lawabiding citizens themselves then they would have told the man his DNA collection was voluntary and thrown it out of their system once they caught the criminal who broke into his wife’s car. If shady acts like these are already happening with common car break-ins, I can only imagine what political giants will do in more serious situations. DNA can easily be tampered with or purposely placed in convenient spots.

shows, but is it really ok that this system pays the artists we love next-to-nothing for songs and albums that soundtrack our lives? Additionally, what of writers whose work is devalued on a daily basis? What can they do for “live shows?” The reality here is that these conditions are worsening. How
bad will things get for writers and musicians before nonwriters and nonmusicians take note? It’s hard to foresee really (and yes, musicians and writers often find success compliments of the Internet, albeit more commonly from blogs than streaming sights and “free exposure”), but I will certainly not give my
I can already see front-page headlines reading, “Obama uses DNA to frame Edward Snowden/ Chelsea Manning/Republicans.” The problem with DNA is that it doesn’t say when people were at a certain place; it just says they were once there. We might as well put GPS trackers into everyone at birth, which doesn’t seem too far-fetched considering how technology and our government are progressing. Supporters of the database say this would help catch criminals faster, but if the government needs a database of every human’s genetic code to do their job, then we should reevaluate more than just their motives and look into their general capabilities. The bottom line is that compiling a DNA database would violate our freedom. If you support giving the government everything that physically makes up your existence, then you are knowingly surrendering your freedom. You might be better moving to North Korea where at least their DNA is still safely inside their bodies. Annette Sommers is an 18-year-old mass communication freshman from Dublin, Calif.
Contact Annette Sommers at asommers@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @AnnetteSommers writings away for free to forprofit entities and I only hope that my fellow musicians and writers alike will do the same because honestly, the biggest weapon we have is saying “no.” Spotify is undoubtedly convenient, but I implore readers to understand that outlooks are bleak for musicians due to this current setup. Also, before asking a writer to contribute something for free, consider how you’d feel if asked to do your job for nothing as well. While I might be a fool for trudging through with my plans, hopes, and dreams, I will not be foolish enough to ignore the reality that the world is quietly devaluing even our most accomplished artists. I just hope that those outside of writers and musicians take note as well. Jake Heflin English sophomore

Monday, November 4, 2013 DAIRY, from page 1 The class, which has 17 students, is open to all majors. Boeneke said learning how food is made and where it comes from is important for everyone because “you never know where you’ll use it.” Boeneke said today’s food industry does significant amounts of research and development, especially related to flavor chemistry — making new flavors that taste just right so they are sellable — and adjusting fat content, homogenizations and cultures for better nutrition, texture and taste. That makes it important for anyone in the industry, whether they make or market products, to know what has to be changed to respond to
consumer demands, he said. Dairy science Ph.D. student Keely O’Brien, who teaches the lab portion of the class, said the process of making cottage cheese began at 8 a.m. on Thursday by adding bacterial culture and rennet — cultured milk extracted from unweaned calves’ stomachs — to milk. The bacteria produces acid that combines with enzymes in the rennet to curdle milk into cheese. By class time at 1:30 p.m., the mixture had formed curds. The students cut them into pieces and cooked them over low, slow heat to release whey that must be drained off. O’Brien said people should appreciate fermentation, which is part of cheese-making, because it is the oldest method of food
preservation. Basic fermenting skills have translated through generations, but processing methods have changed and science has progressed, she said. “Our ancestors didn’t know why it was happening … but the students learn about that,” O’Brien said. Mark Rule, animal science senior, said he likes learning the science behind common dairy products — and some that are less common, such as kefir, a fermented drink made with milk and grains of yeast and bacteria. It is important to know how foods are made so they can be made cheaper, using natural ingredients and in home and industrial settings, he said. The best part of the class? “We get to eat,” said animal science senior Mandy Montreuil. Being able to whip up some yogurt at home when a craving strikes is special, Montreuil said, because she and other students know not only how to successfully follow a recipe, but how the bacteria in that recipe can either “kill you or provide awesome food.” Contact Olivia McClure at omcclure@lsureveille.com
page 11 DRUG USE, from page 1 committee to examine data and make policies and find ways to improve existing programs, Blackmon said. Recently, the committee has made more resources available for alcohol and drug recovery students on campus such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Students in Recovery Support Group meetings, Blackmon said. In spring 2013, 10.9 percent of students reported using drugs other than marijuana at the University in the past 30 days, while the national average was 5.6 percent, according to the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey. “The fear is students are using pain and anti-anxiety prescription pills for recreation,” Blackmon said. In the past 12 months, 18.6 percent of students used prescription drugs that were not prescribed to them, a report by the 2013 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment II stated. Using drugs can lead to both academic and legal problems, Blackmon said. According to the 2013 Core Alcohol and Drug Survey, because
of drug and alcohol use, 71.3 percent of students had a hangover, 43 percent missed a class and 26 percent performed badly on a test. Students can face felony charges if they are caught selling their prescriptions, said Health Promotion Coordinator Kathryn Saichuk said. Saichuk said students tend to use ADD and ADHD medicines when seeking a quick way to get good grades, but using these drugs can cost students if they are caught. Students do not realize that these drugs are addictive, and just because it’s a prescription drug does not mean it is safe for anyone, Saichuk said. “College can be the time for experimentation, but it can cross the line to become an addiction,” Blackmon said. Because only 54 percent of students reported they did not know if the University has alcohol or drug prevention programs, Blackmon said she is concerned that students will not know where to go for help if they have a problem.
