Chancellor Mike Martin sat down with The Daily Reveille on Wednesday and discussed his future, the future of the University and what he’ll miss most when he leaves for Colorado later this year. The Daily Reveille: In a conference call after Colorado State University named you its next Chancellor, you said the current budget crisis had an inverse relationship with your decision to take the job. Could you explain that further? Martin: “The nation of higher education people know among the states under the most stress, Louisiana is at the top. Many

more places are coming here to look for people than would otherwise be the case. This budget stress has really meant more that other universities are shopping for talent here.” Martin cited former Dean of Business Eli Jones’ and former Art and Design Dean David Cronrath’s departure for other Universities without actively seeking another job. “So the budget crisis didn’t cause me to look for a job, but it did cause people to be willing to call and see if I wanted one. And as I’ve said, I don’t want to run away from a challenge. But I put in four years of $102 million worth of budget cuts. I arrived just before [Hurricane] Gustav hit the campus, and it’s been one storm
[that] before I leave. And then of course I want to help this group of people who I’ve come to have a great affection for here and do the best we can to establish a budget that can get us through the next fiscal year.” TDR: You’ve mentioned Interim LSU System President William “Bill” Jenkins as a potential successor before. Has that changed or have you added anyone else to this list? Martin: “I’m glad Bill is back. He had been here before he retired, so he knows the place well, and he cares about this place. Those are two important criteria. He is well received in this community and beyond. I know for a fact
As English professor Anna Nardo sat in her office on a Thursday morning, she lamented a problem plaguing faculty members — salary compression. Salary compression is when starting salaries for new employees are too close to the wages of existing workers. In severe circumstances, starting salaries exceed what current employees earn. “Say that a professor meets his or her research goals and receives positive reviews from all of his or her classes,” Nardo said. “Well, the dean might say to me, ‘You did a great job, but I don’t have the money to recognize the work you did.’ It is a real struggle.” The University is nearing the end of fiscal year 2011, the third year in a row faculty members haven’t received a wide-scale pay raise, according to Provost Jack Hamilton. Repeated denials for raises are compounded by the fact that new professors are being hired at an increasingly high market rate in order to continue hiring high-quality professors. “I may have taught at the University for a while, but a new professor can come in and get hired for a few thousand more than I do,” Nardo

So when someone does call, you’re slightly more inclined to say, ‘Let’s have a conversation.’ And that’s exactly what happened.” TDR: Are there any specific projects you’d like to complete before leaving? Martin: “I want to make real progress on what we’re referring to as the Nicholson Gateway Project. I made a presentation to the Board of Supervisors last week. We need to change Nicholson Drive to make the housing better and to find other uses for that wonderful corridor. We’re [also] just getting started on the two-year run-up to accreditation.

Head of Special Collections Elaine Smyth displays John James Audubon’s book “Birds of America” in Hill Memorial Library.
Multiple species of birds travel through Louisiana, but on Saturday people can see most of them in Hill Memorial Library. LSU Libraries will host a viewing of John James Audubon’s folio “Birds of America.” This collection of 435 original prints in four volumes illustrates the country’s birds on large elephant foliosize sheets — paper large enough to portray the birds at life size. Head of Special Collections at Hill Memorial Library Elaine
Smyth described Audubon as the premier bird artist of the early 19th century. The set on display in Hill Memorial was printed between 1827 and 1838. While many have seen reproductions of his work, Smith said few have seen the originals, much less the entire set. “You get the full force of what he actually accomplished,” she explained. “Not many people get to be in the room with that great work of art.” While artistic, Smyth described Audubon’s main drive as primarily scientific. “He was describing the birds
and trying to give them their scientific names,” she said. “He portrayed them with plants they actually relied on in nature. He was putting them in context, which was something previous ornithologists and ornithological artists hadn’t done.” Smyth said Audubon saw many of these birds in Louisiana while tutoring since so many different species travel through the state on their migratory paths. “This is a very rich area for bird watching because it’s in the fly AUDUBON, see page 4

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A military court on Wednesday convicted Tunisia’s former dictator in absentia for his role in the bloody suppression of demonstrations in the country’s interior, ordering him to serve life in prison. Tunisians overthrew Zine El Abidine Ben Ali last year after a month-long uprising, and he fled to Saudi Arabia on Jan. 14, 2011.

Six-year graduation rate highest in La. University ranks 134 out of 622 peer schools Joshua Bergeron Staff Writer
The University reported its highest graduation rate ever, 61.9 percent, in a broadcast email to students last week. But students shouldn’t expect to see 62 percent of their peers walking across the stage four years after entering LSU. The number actually represents the University’s six-year graduation rate for the 2011-2012 school year. The University’s four-year graduation rate was approximately 38 percent last year. Brian Apple, fifth-year electrical engineering senior, said graduating in four years is hard for many students, especially if they come in without any credits. “It is more difficult for students to load down semesters with 18 hours over and over without feeling

continued. “It is just a bad situation because professors work so hard to do a good job and are rewarded with nothing.” The problem of salary compression is evident when viewing the faculty salary database. In the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the University employed about 3,193 faculty, according to The Daily Reveille’s updated salary database. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the University’s faculty declined to about 3,110 people. The sum of all faculty salaries decreased from the 2010-2011 year to the 2011-2012 year. However, the average professor salary increased from $67,699 to $69,030, — a 2 percent change— according to the Reveille’s salary database. Professors take the continual denial of raises into account when deciding to take a job at another university, according to Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope. “The steady stream of bad news from the capital has worn out the goodwill of the faculty,” Cope said. “LSU administrators need to drop the idea that LSU is such a jolly

with the Board changing, Bill will be able to navigate those changes well on behalf of this campus. Because probably the biggest unknown right now is what this Board of Supervisors will look like in a few weeks. My sense is that Bill knew that coming in and maybe has some insight as to how the board is going to shape up. That relationship between the board and on-the-ground activities ... is a tricky business, and Bill will be very good at it. Even before I came here, I knew Bill Jenkins. He is a deeply devoted guy to this institution. You can’t beat that. I also believe if you don’t have a great flagship, the rest of the fleet doesn’t matter much. I’m a graduate of two institutions in Minnesota — Minnesota State University at Mankato and the University of Minnesota. In that environment, I came to understand UMN was the symbol of educational quality for all of higher education in Minnesota. My alma mater, Mankato State, benefited from the fact that UMN was viewed as a great university. So I hope everyone understands that if you want McNeese and Nicholls and Northwestern State and ULM all to be respected, it starts by having a highly respected flagship institution in your state.” TDR: What will you miss the most about the University? Martin: “The people. There’s no question. This is a wonderful place to work, with respect to the folks that work here. This University is a whole lot better than the people of Louisiana ever paid for it. It is effectively subsidized by the incredible commitment of the people that work here and the enormous passion of the people who care about it. I’m going to miss that on a day-to-day basis. And I’m really going to miss the students. I’ve really enjoyed the students I’ve gotten to know on this campus. I’ve said this to the governor, and I’ve said this to [Lamar Advertising CEO] Sean Reilly — the governor is a Brown graduate and Sean is a Harvard graduate — and I said I’ll stack our students up against
place to work all the time. Faculty will continue to leave if they continue to receive more lucrative offers.” One of the main factors that plays into salary compression is budget cuts. The University has incurred several mid-year cuts, which make it difficult to plan an entire year’s budget, said Vice Chancellor of the Office of Budget and Planning Bob Kuhn. But good economic times at the University are not a distant memory. “The 2008-2009 year was one of the best ever for the University, but ever since then we have seen a steady decline in funds” Kuhn said. “The amount of mid-year cuts that LSU has had to endure is incredible. These continuous cuts make it hard to ensure faculty that they will receive raises.” Dean of the School of the Coast and Environment Christopher D’Elia said he has first-hand experience with salary compression. “The problem is more complicated than simply not receiving raises,” D’Elia remarked. “Because faculty make up a large portion of the budget, they are often easy to cut. It seems like we are hiring one any of the students coming through those schools. Elite or not, if that’s what you call the ‘elite’ graduates, ours are just as good. They may not be elitist, but they’re damn good. TDR: What do you think or hope your legacy will be on campus? Martin: “My fear is my legacy will largely be ‘He kept the place from sinking.’ In one way, that’s satisfying. In one way, I wish it were something more constructive. I hope what I did was create an environment in which everyone feels valued. I came here believing whether you’re Miss Winnie at the gates on Dalrymple or any faculty member working in any great laboratory or classroom, that they know the University values them. That seemed to be an important thing to do — to make people understand how important they are. And I hope that’s part of my legacy. I tried really hard to get out and interact with people and in every instance try to send a message: What you do is appreciated. I hope that becomes the culture here.” TDR: Any final thoughts? Martin: “It’s a good life, but it’s been a hard time, and I worry about people here. It seems to have gotten through other desperate times, but this has been pretty rugged. You cut $102 million in state appropriations over three years when you started with $254 million. So you’re looking at 43 percent. That’s a big hit, and we’ve shifted a lot of it to students. And that’s a big adjustment, and even then we haven’t been able to fully fill the hole. Maybe it’s forced us to be a little more efficient, but there’s only so much efficiency you can take before it starts to affect effectiveness, and in the end, that’s what this is about. So I’m going to keep making that case. I’m not blaming anybody, but this state, and particularly higher education, is crying out for leadership: ‘Lead us out of this forest.’”

The Daily Reveille professor back for every two that we fire.” Eric Monday, vice chancellor and chief financial officer of the University’s Finance and Administrative Services, said he is well aware of the problem. Monday also mentioned that fixing the budget in order to give raises is his foremost concern. “As soon as we are able, we will immediately put in place some kind of raise,” Monday stressed. “Any kind of additional tuition we receive should be directed toward faculty raises.” One place Monday said such additional fund could be found is in the LA GRAD Act 2.0, which allows the University to hike tuition costs by up to 10 percent per year if it agrees to meet certain performance goals.

way,” she explained. “A lot of species migrate through here in spring and fall.” After this field work, Audubon found even more difficulty in printing the folio since he wanted the images printed very large. This meant the metal plates that imprint the birds’ images needed to be equally as big, making it difficult for Audubon to find a willing printer. “They would not have anything to do with it,” she said. “They thought his idea was crazy because he wanted to portray the birds at life size.” Eventually Audubon found printers in England willing to do the work, allowing him to finish printing the project across an 11-year span.

Let’s face it; the BCS is a failed experiment that leaves countless college football fans reeling from the frustration of not having a clear-cut national champion year after year. At every level in every sport, from Olympic basketball to competitive cup stacking, champions are decided through performance against a deserving opponent in a playoff setting. However, the league that is possibly the second-most popular in the country, next to its professional brother, the NFL, does not. Its Division II and III counterparts use a playoff as well. College football uses confusing and ridiculous polls voted on by sports writers, coaches and — the granddaddy of them all — a completely hidden and at times unreliable computer formula that picks a champion by comparing teams that may not have as many as one common opponent. Last season’s debate about who would play LSU in the national championship involved three teams that had one common opponent among them – Oklahoma State and Stanford beat unranked Arizona. There’s hope on the near horizon, though. The NCAA has finally caved to the cries of the masses and is considering the idea of a

Tiger Woods won’t be the only “Tiger” this weekend in the 112th U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. John Peterson, a former LSU standout and 2011 NCAA men’s national champion, qualified for his first major event during his rookie season at the professional level. “It’s just another golf tournament,” Peterson said. “You’re just trying to get the ball
in the hole as quick as possible. It’s just a lot more people care about this one.” The 7,170-yard lake-lined course is a part of America’s oldest athletic club and has hosted the Open four times in its 152year history. Golf Digest ranked the Olympic Club as the 13th toughest in the nation, with the course’s legendary first hole standing as a daunting 520-yard par 4. “The first six holes are brutal,” Peterson said. The entire
stretch is mammoth. Five hundred-yard par 4, a 250-yard par 3, 1-over or even [on those holes] and you’re right there with the best of the field.” To help him continue to progress with his game, Peterson’s swing coach is also the man who coached him for four years at LSU.

Goody to forgo senior year, sign with Yankees Recruits Gallo, Valentin off to MLB Chandler Rome Staff Writer

LSU closer Nick Goody prepares to throw a pitch during the 10th inning LSU’s 6-5 regional win against Oregon State on June 3.
After receiving the reassuring news that Mason Katz and Raph Rhymes would return to the LSU baseball team for their senior seasons, Tuesday brought a more sobering reality of the MLB draft to the Tigers. Not surprisingly, junior closer Nick Goody tweeted that he will forgo his senior season and
sign a contract with the New York Yankees, who drafted him in the sixth round. “It was an honor to be able to play for LSU! I’ve met tons of awesome ppl and made life-long friends! Best college experience! #foreverLSU,” Goody wrote in the tweet. Goody admirably filled the shoes of LSU all-time saves leader Matty Ott, compiling 11 saves with a 2.67 ERA while striking out 45 in 33.2 innings.

Two Saints injured at mini-camp
Tigers return hitting, lose pitching for 2013 Following another disappointing early-summer exit, the old adage of “wait ‘till next year” has become trite for LSU baseball fans. After falling one game short of a trip to the College World Series — failing to reach the college baseball mecca for a third straight year — the Tigers graduate the final holdovers from LSU’s last trip to Omaha. With rising seniors Mason Katz and Raph Rhymes returning as the meat of the batting order and all but three pitchers returning, expectations will surely be higher for next season’s Tiger baseball team.
With all middle relievers and mid-week starters primed to return, the third spot in the weekend rotation and the closer’s spot remain very much in doubt. Senior Chris Cotton could factor into the rotation — as he boasted a 7-0 record in a “set-up man” role this past season. Opponents could muster only a .185 batting average against him. Junior Nick Rumbelow and senior Kevin Berry are experienced in late-inning situations, making them early front-runners to replace Goody. Incoming recruit Will LaMarche from Chabot College in California also has bullpen experience, making him another potential option.
PITCHING Aside from the loss of Friday night ace Kevin Gausman, closer Nick Goody and freshman Carson Baranik, the pitching staff should remain largely intact. Sophomore Aaron Nola will likely be asked to fill Gausman’s shoes in the Friday night role, with junior Ryan Eades slated to keep his spot in the weekend rotation if he improves as LSU coach Paul Mainieri expects. “He’s got room for improvement,” Mainieri said. “He’s going to have to get better, and his offspeed pitches are going to have to get better.”
INFIELD The Tigers will feel the greatest absence here, losing starting shortstop Austin Nola and starting third baseman Tyler Hanover, who started all 64 games at their respective positions. With both Katz and sophomore Tyler Moore having experience at first base, one could make the transition to the left side of the infield, possibly at third base. Junior JaCoby Jones could also move across the diamond to the left side. Sophomore Evan Powell and incoming freshman Alex Bregman may also factor into LSU’s infield plans. Bregman, out of

HITTING Mainieri didn’t mince words when he was explaining the offensive output after the super regional loss to Stony Brook. “We didn’t have a real dynamic offense all year, but it was usually good enough,” Mainieri said. If one aspect of the Tigers’ 2013 team is reassuring, it’s the batting order. Sciambra asserted himself as a dynamic leadoff hitter before breaking his neck, a spot he could reclaim to begin next season. Jones, Katz, Rhymes and junior Ty Ross return to the lineup, in that order, adding more experience to the offense that was nothing short of anemic in the postseason.
METAIRIE (AP) — Saints hard luck defensive end Greg Romeus will likely miss his second straight full season after injuring his left knee during voluntary offseason practices this week. Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt, who disclosed the injury Wednesday, said Romeus tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee earlier this week. The injury is only the latest of several setbacks that have caused Romeus to miss most of his senior season at Pittsburgh and his rookie season with New Orleans after the Saints took a chance on him in the seventh round of the 2011 draft. Romeus spent last season rehabilitating his right knee, which he injured late in his senior season with Pitt in what was then his first game back from back surgery early in the 2010 season. “He was just running down the field and his non-surgical knee gave on him,” Vitt said, referring to Romeus’ previously healthy knee. “This kid’s really worked hard. The whole team feels bad for him.”

Tiger outfielder Raph Rhymes flirted with a .500 batting average for much of the past season. He’s returning to LSU in 2013 and will anchor the middle of the lineup.
Albuquerque Academy in New Mexico, is projected as either a second baseman or a catcher. OUTFIELD After watching Stony Brook’s outfielders run down any fly ball in sight, it’s apparent that the Tigers need a more athletic outfield. Jones started the season opener in center field while junior Jackson Slaid was in left. The return of the speedy Chris Sciambra, a sophomore, fills the hole in center field. Slaid and Jones could foreseeably fill the outfield, making Rhymes a potential designated hitter. Delgado Community College transfer Sean McMullen comes in after starting in center field for Delgado in 39 games, giving a veteran presence if Sciambra isn’t fully recovered from his grisly neck injury.

Thursday, June 14, 2012 BCS, from page 5 four-team playoff. Should be simple, right? The four best teams in the nation play a semi-final game and the winners play one another for the title. Wrong. Almost every conference has a different opinion on how to fill the four-team playoff, and the constant conference realignment talks aren’t easing the strife. The most contentious of these talks involves how the four teams will be decided. The Southeastern and Big 12 conferences are predictably in favor of the “four best teams” format. The SEC, the conference that has produced the past six national champions, wants the four best teams, regardless of conference or the winning of said conference, to reach the playoff. Hypothetically, if two teams were from the same division and one of those teams didn’t win the division — let alone the conference — but was still ranked in the top four, it would still make the playoff. SEC commissioner Mike Slive recently said the SEC had unanimously voted for the top-four format decided on by a tweaked BCS formula. The reason the SEC voted for this format is that if multiple teams from a conference were ranked in the top four, that

Peterson and Hoffman have known each other throughout college, with the two squaring off while Hoffman was still donning the Cowboy orange. And Peterson won’t be the only former Tiger competing this weekend. 2001 PGA Championship winner David Toms joins Peterson in the field at the Olympic Club, playing a practice round on Tuesday with Peterson and the tour’s hottest player, Jason Dufner. “[Toms] helped me with my tee shots and picking out a good target,” Peterson said. “He’s helped me not get caught up in the circus surrounding the event.” Peterson said he and Toms have become close since he
conference would take an even larger cut of the multi-milliondollar cake that is the BCS bowls. The Big 12 wants the top four teams to be chosen by a selection committee that would give special consideration to conference champions. Slive has also announced that this will be the only format the SEC will accept outside of the strict top four BCS teams. This committee is speculated to be similar to the NCAA tournament selection committee for basketball. The basketball committee is made up of university presidents and athletic directors from around the country, including LSU’s athletic director, Joe Alleva. However, current talks suggest that former coaches would make up a large portion, if not all, of the football committee. Former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer and former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden have both said they are interested in joining the committee. Because who would be less biased than former coaches? Maybe the NCAA could get some former players to be on the committee too. Maybe they could set up pictures of the top 25 teams and whichever four Mike the Tiger doesn’t eat make the playoff. Presidents and athletic directors obviously have strong ties to their universities and conferences, too. But, in theory, they should be a little more
The Daily Reveille impartial than a man who has his school’s field named after him. The ACC, on the other hand, a conference that hasn’t had a legitimate title contender since Miami could still call themselves “The U” without being laughed at, originally backed the 3-1 plan but switched to the conference champions mold, with the stipulation that they must be ranked in the top six. The 3-1 plan suggests that the top three ranked conference champions and one “wildcard” team form the playoff. This leaves the door open to lower ranked conference champions to get in instead of more deserving teams. The SEC thought it would bully the rest of the conferences into accepting their format like the league’s defensive ends bully quarterbacks. However, it’s come off more as a child whining until it gets what it wants, and the rest of the leagues are refusing to oblige. The 3-1 format is most likely to be adopted at this point. It’s the closest thing to a sensible compromise that the NCAA has left on the table. Then again, someone once thought that the BCS was a sensible idea, too.

abandon their scholarships and join their respective major league organizations. Gallo, a graduate of Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada, was selected by the Texas Rangers with the No. 39 overall pick and signed a $2.25 million contract Tuesday. “Officially a Texas Ranger!” Gallo tweeted Tuesday.

joined the tour. According to Peterson, Toms has stayed in close touch with the LSU golf team through the years. It won’t be entirely new territory for Peterson, either. This is Peterson’s fifth PGA event since he began his rookie season in February. In four events, he made the cut three times and has earned more than $32,000, with his best result coming in the Mayakoba Golf Classic where he shot 1-over-par to tie for 55th. The tour has proven not to be all fun and games for Peterson, though. He said the constant travel and distance from his family has been difficult. Peterson’s 2:30 p.m. Central time tee-off today also comes less than a week after the death of his grandmother. “It’s tough that I can’t be there for [my family],” Peterson said. “In college, I would have just flown home to be with them.”
However, Peterson will have to put that behind him as he takes on the best in the world. “This type of course and set up divides those that are ‘on’ and those that are having ‘off’ weeks,” Winstead said. “John can be right in the mix with a good week.”

Instagram iOS, Android Price: Free Without a doubt, Instagram is the most popular standalone photo-sharing application on the market. It’s actually so popular, Facebook decided to buy it in April for $1 billion. The app centers around adding filters to pictures to give them a “film” quality or more professional look. There are 18 different filters, the ability to add “tilt-shift” effects which blur certain parts of the picture and a quickfix contrast button that enhances colors and shadows. Users can “follow” friends and “like” and comment on their pictures. Plus, Instagram can instantly share the photos to other social media networks like Facebook and Twitter. Instagram is genuinely fun to use. It only takes a few seconds to snap a picture, choose a filter and upload it, and there’s a small sense of satisfaction when receiving a notification that someone “liked” a picture. It’s definitely the best in terms of social integration.

Prometheus
20th Century Fox
“Prometheus” is not a movie for the faint of heart. Director Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi is terrifying and beautiful, futuristic and realistic, religious and scientific and many more contrasting adjectives. The film is much more than the “Alien” origin story — it’s one that raises lofty questions like “Who created us?” and “What is our purpose?” Unfortunately, those questions are never fully answered before things go haywire for the Prometheus crew. The action scenes are excellent, with superb visuals and genuine fear from the actors and actresses. Michael Fassbender as David, an android, steals the show as the most interesting and diabolical character, with Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw coming in second. Though “Prometheus” is incredibly graphic — to a point some may find over the line — and its supporting characters are bland, its philosophical overtones, gorgeous cinematography and acting make it a great summer flick.

Waka Flocka Flame, “Triple F Life”
Warner Bros Records
In the past few years, Waka Flocka Flame has made waves in the rap game with excessive shouting over good beats. Flocka’s latest album “Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family” features a significant amount of Grammy-winning artists and talented underground legends. After this album, it is safe to say Flocka will not amount to either. On “Triple F Life,” he attempts to cop a more traditional sound by varying his style and even attempting to sing. This album is probably one of the worst rap albums ever made, especially if you subtract all the talented artists and leave Flocka to fend for himself. Listeners would be better off skipping to artists they know. Flocka doesn’t have the lyrical mind or flow to write a catchy verse and his lyrics are pointless and rarely make any sense.

Bobby Womack, “The Bravest Man in the Universe” XL Recordings
A musical career that spans back to the ‘50s keeps singersongwriter Bobby Womack staying innovative. After writing songs for The Rolling Stones, it probably wasn’t hard for the R&B legend to collaborate with one of the most pioneering producers in alternative music, Damon Albarn. In recent years, the two worked together on Gorillaz’s “Plastic Beach” and “The Fall,” but it’s evident the creative mind behind the Gorillaz co-produced this album. Slow and eerie yet pleasant keyboard and piano strokes, quirky beats and muffled instrumentals set a unique tone but don’t overshadow Womack’s well-worn vocals. The album places featured artists like Lana Del Rey and Gil Scott-Heron precisely, creating fitting song elements. Even with all this novelty, Womack hasn’t lost any piece of the raspy, deep-ish voice that makes him so recognizable.

Lollipop Chainsaw
Grasshopper Manufacture Inc.
Video game developer Grasshopper Manufacture released its psychedelic new game “Lollipop Chainsaw” on June 12. It follows cheerleader Juliet Starling who trades in her pom-poms for a chainsaw when hoards of zombies overtake her high school. But Chainsaw is more than absent-mindedly hacking away at the undead. The bizarre adventure delivers violence and gore along with sparkles and candy. Breaking up the monotony are fun mini-games, such as zombie baseball and basketball. The characters, despite appearances, are well-developed and intriguing, like the “rock-n-roll” zombie bosses. The eye-popping graphics pair well with the ‘80s-esque music, giving the game a fun, B-horror movie vibe, fortunately without the same level of groan-worthy cheesiness. Chainsaw isn’t terribly difficult and may not be groundbreaking, but it sure is a thrill.

Summer exhibition premieres today Dream theme celebrates history Taylor Schoen Contributing Writer
The LSU College of Art and Design is debuting its summer art exhibition today in the Alfred C. Glassell Jr. Exhibition Gallery at the Shaw Center for the Arts. This is the event’s 11th year of production, and with each year comes a new theme. The theme this time around is dream catching. According to Native American legends, dream catchers were constructed with the intention of preventing negative dreams and enabling positive dreams for whomever sleeps with one above their head. Approximately 50 different local artists interpreted this idea in unique ways. Many artists are University alums and faculty members. The gallery boasts a myriad of media, from paintings to puzzles, and the works of art reveal the creativity of Baton Rouge residents. The dream-catching premise rendered literal interpretations, like devices adorned with net, nightmarish images and fantastical creatures. Malia Krolak, director of the LSU School of Art Gallery, said she enjoys the exhibit because it brings artists together every year. “Everyone leaves town during the summer,” she said. “The exhibit is like a family reunion

For Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson’s third fulllength album as The Tallest Man on Earth, he doesn’t shed lingering Bob Dylan comparisons as much as tweak them. Instead of burrowing further into his own gravelly-voiced, literary-folk sweet spot, Matsson maintains a spare, natural center while introducing an electric palette. It’s his own “Bringing It All Back Home.” Slide guitars waltz through the song’s sonics, and Matsson’s yelps roar like a banshee in the night. The strength lies in his song writing, as he strays from lyrical specifics but rarely falls into outright metaphorical storytelling. The title track is heartbreak wrapped in piano and a fearless vocal performance. “There’s No Leaving Now” is an evocative record that feels like Matsson eschewing some of his acoustic strengths, but finding revelation in the blues.
LSU School of Music’s Hot Summer Nights and Cool Jazz series kicks off today, continuing a longrunning tradition that has grown increasingly popular since its inception in the ‘90s. And the seasoned lineup largely proves why. The Hot Summer Nights house band consists of Interim Director of the School of Music and School of Music and Dramatic Arts Associate Dean Willis Delony on piano,

EDITOR’S PICK: Metric, “Synthetica”

Canadian quartet Metric patterned its latest album “Synthetica” after the band’s typical sound, while innovating a progression in its musical craft. Opener “Artificial Nocturne,” is an anticipationbuilding scheme that finds release in the third minute before slowing to a close, like the winding down of metal gears. The album’s 11 crackling tracks progress with superiority, shining dark and oily with haunting synths complemented by instrumentals as sharp and square as the bone structure of lead singer Emily Haines. The technical perfection is impressive and attractive, but not entirely entertaining. Softer tracks such as “Lost Kitten” and “The Void” hook listeners into the powerpop the band showed off in 2009’s “Fantasies,”, but most of the album sounds more like a synchronized motorcycle race — all clean lines and fuel-burning grind.

for artists.” David Contreras, LSU painting and drawing graduate student said it’s refreshing to see old friends during the dog days of summer and make new ones, with the annual summer exhibit provides that for the community. Contreras said many working artists come from Baton Rouge, and this is the perfect opportunity for them to connect and network together. Krolak said this year’s theme was inspired by her friend Ken Dixon, who has been hosting pow wows around the South. “Native American history is a central part of Louisiana history,” Krolak said. “I thought it would be something interesting
to celebrate.” The gallery invites visitors to have their own art displayed in a “dream cloud.” The public is encouraged to create their own dream drawings, with crayons and paper provided by the gallery. These works will be presented alongside the other pieces for the duration of the exhibit. The Dream Catching: 11th Annual Summer Invitational Art Exhibition opens today and will run until August 3. The gallery is open Tuesdays through Sundays and is free to the public.

While Davis isn’t an LSU professor, Delony said the Baton Rouge school system teacher is one of the best jazz drummers in the world. In addition to the group’s individual experience, their chemistry as a band has improved since the series began, Delony said. “We’re a better band than we were years ago,” he said. “We’ve been inspired by people we bring in, we’ve been playing together now for all these years . . . that happens to any band that’s playing together for a while if they’re paying attention.” Grimes said he began the series in the mid-1990s as a faculty recital that grew into a continuing series.

unless your school doesn’t believe in books. In which case, it would make no sense to read a book about the immorality of book burning. Fahrenheit 451, for those of you who grew up in church compounds, is set in a distopic futuristic society, where firefighters no longer put out fires but start them instead. Books have been banned, and when they are found, the fire department is called in to burn them — occasionally with the owner. The protagonist is Guy Montag, a firefighter who likes to read and feels no connection with his wife, who spends her life in front of wall-sized televisions.
When Mrs. Montag overdoses on pills, a blue collar technician comes to the house and pumps the poison out and life back in. But what is Fahrenheit 451 really about? Censorship is a theme frequently mentioned, but that’s incorrect. In a 2007 interview with LA Weekly, Bradbury maintained that 451 is not about government censorship. Bradbury instead said 451 is about how television destroys the interest in reading literature. Mrs. Montag wants Guy to pay for an additional wallsized television to complete the room.

“Forget 2016. Rand Paul has discredited himself by endorsing Romney. Ron Paul has worked wonders but he will not be on the ballot in November. The only choice for liberty then will be Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray running on the Libertarian ticket.” -Anonymous In response to Chris Abshire’s column “Bonnaroo music festival again proves divisive but worthwhile,” readers had this to say: “What a bunch of tripe! Opinion is one thing, but blatant falsehoods are another....”most divisive music festival”? How? You never site one example.

Kickstarter’s crowd-sourced funding is an arts crap shoot THE PHILIBUSTER PHIL SWEENEY Columnist Paying one’s own way, as comedian Daniel Tosh’s recent “Daniel’s Kickstarter” routine reminds us, is a self-sabotaging Ponzi scheme. “Like a lot of you,” he deadpans with Sarah McLachlan’s signature gut-wrenching somberness, “my goal in life is to be extremely wealthy, but I have a horrible work ethic.” “That is why, with this Kickstarter campaign, I am asking you to help me become the world’s first trillionaire,” Tosh — not entirely insincere, I surmise — entreats the audience of his Comedy Central series “Tosh.0.” Kickstarter, the self-styled world’s largest funding platform for creative projects, is a
crowdfunding community of handouts and hoopla, the place where penny-ante angel investors grant penny-strapped entrepreno-names their wings. The former are the “backers” of Kickstarter, the community’s funders of “creators” and followers of creativity. They’re modernity’s Medicis, as it were, partand-parcel patrons of today’s Da Vincis — Tosh’s project actually promises to purchase the “Mona Lisa.” “And run [it] through a paper shredder.” “I will purchase Facebook and rename it ‘The Facebook,’” he further appeals. “I will also shut down Instagram so that girls can’t use filters to trick [guys] into thinking that they’re pretty.” “You’re eyes aren’t that blue,” Tosh addresses them. “And you don’t glow.” The “Tosh’s Trillion” project also plans to “convert Disney
World into a luxury resort for gay weddings,” as he proclaims, voiced-over a photoshopped polaroid of two Mickeys, arm-inarm in the “Happiest Place on Earth.” “I will then rename it North Carolina,” he announces. And if that doesn’t win the ambitious kickstartee a bevy of crowdfunding benefactors and benefactresses, there’s an additional incentive to back his project — the “pure joy of watching me achieve my dreams,” as he puts it. Which is precisely crowdfunding’s ultimate payoff: altruism. Kickstarter, though, which pinches 5 percent of its creators’ proceeds, isn’t without its fallen angels, as Tosh’s parody-project suggests. In August 2011, for instance, one such Lucifer tempted backers to bankroll his unproven “Tech
Sync Power System” project, a prototypical light switch for mobile devices pledged $27,637 — more than ten times its $2,000 goal. Puzzlingly, Kickstarter powered down the popular project’s page and its creator’s account days later and with no explanation — and the project’s 419 backers, it seemed, had been bedeviled. Earlier that year, a student of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts got to his “Synchronized” project’s $1,700 goal within 90 days. The kicker: his short film had been synchronized with — plagiarized from, that is — “Replay,” another filmmaker’s project. One month before that, in turn, the aptly-titled project “Mythic: The Story of the Gods and Men,” an undeveloped video game with a goal of $80,000, was really a rip-off: The de facto mythic project was pledged
$4,000 on the strength of other titles’ screenshots it had stolen. And then there’s “Tosh’s Trillion” — which, for all its idiocy, makes it amusingly apparent how far and how fast crowdfunding’s gratuitous gravy train can potentially travel. Kickstarter’s success is arts’ success, ultimately — but not all projects are created equal. There’s always one that’s worth backing, though. It’s just not Tosh’s.

Walker’s victory another blow for U.S. leftist movement MANUFACTURING DISCONTENT
DAVID SCHEUERMANN Columnist If you listened closely as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker walked away from the podium after his victory speech, you could almost hear the American Left’s vitality being snuffed out. Already down, the conservative victory dealt a major blow to the leftist movement in this country, which has been trying so hard to become relevant again in the national debate. Now conservatives are back on the offensive with a new wave of momentum to ride into the general election in November. With the emergence of liberal movements last year such as the Wisconsin protests and Occupy Wall Street, it was easy to be lulled into thinking that Leftism was resurging in American politics. But Occupy Wall Street has died down and the recall election sealed the deal for the Wisconsin movement. The Left now finds itself in a familiar position of being relegated to the sidelines as a fringe voice drowned out by the majority. It’s unsurprising that the Left is struggling so much today. Modern American politics have consistently been further to the right than similar countries around the world. Here, the terms “liberal” and “Leftist” are regarded as insults in some circles, and the modern American Leftist hero is likely considered to be President Obama, who is, at best, a centrist politician. This same “darling of the Left” has been responsible for an ongoing drone war overseas that has cost several innocent civilian lives, a health care reform bill
that sold out the public option to pharmaceutical companies and subsidized insurance companies by forcing citizens to become their customers, and a civil liberties record that may be more atrocious than his predecessor’s. And therein lies the problem: Leftists have allowed themselves to fall under the umbrella of the Democratic party. The Democratic party is viewed as the “party of the Left” in the United States, drawing in votes from left-leaning citizens as it is the only major party that can compete with the right-leaning Republicans. However, the Democratic party is made up mostly of centrists and even those who are center-right on the political spectrum. The result is that the Left is not being represented by our government. Just take a look at the last decade of American governance. Where was the Left’s voice in Congress when we were brought into unnecessary and costly wars twice? Where was the Left’s voice when the Patriot Act was passed? Where is the Left today as President Obama erodes civil liberties domestically and kills civilians around the world in drone strikes? It’s about time for a new strategy. The Left must first cut its ties with the Democratic party. The party has done little to serve the Left’s interests, and with every scandal involving a Democrat, Leftism becomes tainted in the eyes of those averted to its causes. By abandoning the party, left-leaning Americans can truly attempt to have a stronger voice in the government. The Left must also be up front and honest with the country. Unions were the big issue in Wisconsin during the recall
election. If Leftists can admit that some unions have become hierarchical, bureaucratic and corrupt, they can help stem the flow of antiunion sentiment in America and work to return unions to a cause about workers rights – not a way to get cozy with politicians in exchange for benefits. However, the strongest way in which the Left can find a place in American politics is by focusing on personal freedom and limiting government power. These are issues that can reso-
nate with many Americans, including conservatives. And, brushing aside economic issues, the Left has plenty of allies in these causes. Leftists can find much in common with Libertarians and centrists in regards to civil liberties, military spending and opposition to foreign wars. If the Left fails to bounce back, it may once again find itself fallen by the wayside of American politics. Yet, a revitalized Leftist movement can help start a serious
political discussion, and this country could use a real debate. David Scheuermann is a 20-yearold mass communication and computer science sophomore from Kenner. Follow him on Twitter at @TDR_dscheu.
