Professor: censure bad mark on LSU

Martin ‘ignored’ AAUP’s requests Taylor Balkom Staff Writer

TAYLOR BALKOM / The Daily Reveille

Actors for the Swine Palace’s first Summer Festival play, “The Taming Of The Shrew” by William Shakespeare, perform during a dress rehearsal Monday night.

The first show begins today at 7:30 p.m in the Studio Theatre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. Tickets are $10.

The University’s recent censure by the American Association of University Professors is part of a larger problem, according to biology professor Dominique Homberger, who was removed from a BIOL 1001 class in HOMBERGER 2010 after low midterm grades and a high drop rate.

Homberger’s well-publicized removal and former University director Ivor van Heerden’s firing “violate academic freedoms,” according to the AAUP, and are reasons for the censure.

“I feel mortified,” Homberger HOMBERGER, see page 4

Restaurants open in Northgate area Chipotle location first in Louisiana Austen Krantz Staff Writer

Students around the north side of campus won’t be going hungry.

Momma Goldberg’s Deli officially opened Monday in College Row, while, across the street, Chipotle Mexican Grill at Highland Road and State Street also had its soft opening Monday before its official opening today.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries will open Thursday in the same building as Chipotle.

This Chipotle location is the first in Louisiana, with a second

arriving soon in Metairie, La., branch manager Julie Morter told The Daily Reveille in early June.

With a strong foothold in Texas, Morter said the gourmet burrito and taco store hopes to see traffic from the University’s many Lone Star natives.

Momma Goldberg’s Deli adds to the sandwich and pita options in the area, running sandwiches through tabletop steamers before dressing them with toppings, explained franchise owner Michael Holland.

“We specialize in steam sandwiches, and we’re really doing something different than anybody else with that,” he said. “We operate with a bunch of tabletop commercial steamers — not like a press — put the whole sandwich in and dress it after it comes

out of the steamer.”

Five Guys Burgers and Fries will serve gourmet burgers next to Chipotle. Location general manager Wes Jacob said he thinks this location will draw in a different clientele than the other Five Guys location off Corporate Boulevard, and — like Chipotle and Momma Goldberg’s — hopes to pull in all of the Northgate foot traffic, especially for football season.

“During the fall, this area is like a mini Times Square,” he said.

Though both Jacob and Holland have promoted their stores’ openings, they haven’t planned grand openings. Holland said Mama Goldberg’s held its soft OPENINGS, see page 4

Ontario officials suspend rescue efforts in shopping mall collapse

Three people missing after two trains collide in rural Oklahoma

Tangipahoa authorities close 14-year-old cold case with arrest

ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario (AP) — Officials have suspended rescue efforts following a weekend roof collapse at a shopping mall in northern Ontario that led to at least one death and at least one other person trapped.

Bill Needles, a spokesman from the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team, said Monday the building is “totally unsafe” and could collapse at any time. He said they can’t put rescue officials at risk. He said the condition of the building has deteriorated.

Lonesome George, famed Galapagos tortoise, died Sunday, autopsied

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Two freight trains that collided in an Oklahoma wheat field weren’t blowing horns or flashing lights as they hurtled toward one another, according to long-haul trucker who watched from a highway as the locomotives collided head-on.

Three of the four crew members assigned to the trains were missing Monday, and investigators feared they didn’t survive.

One crew member jumped from the slower train before the accident and survived with scrapes.

HAMMOND (AP) — Tangipahoa Parish sheriff’s deputies have cleared a 14-year-old murder case. Sheriff Daniel Edwards said Monday that 32-year-old Ronnie Saulsberry, of Tickfaw, La., was booked last Wednesday with the second-degree murder of 20-yearold Wayne Thompson.

Authorities say Thompson was reported missing by his father on June 9, 1998.

Thompson was at a dice game at a Tickfaw home in April that year. Authorities say Thompson allegedly robbed several people after the game so he could buy illegal drugs.

New Orleans Hornets ink new TV deal with Fox Sports

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Giant tortoise experts from near and far have begun an autopsy of Lonesome George, a giant tortoise whose failed efforts to reproduce made him a symbol of disappearing species.

The Galapagos Island reptile was the last of the Pinta island giant tortoise subspecies. He was found dead in his pen on Sunday.

He had become an ambassador of sorts for the archipelago off Ecuador’s coast whose unique flora and fauna helped inspire Charles Darwin’s ideas on evolution.

Subway work in Greece unearths ancient road built by Romans THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Archaeologists in Greece’s second-largest city have uncovered a 70-meter (230-foot) section of an ancient road built by the Romans that was city’s main travel artery nearly 2,000 years ago.

The marble-paved road was unearthed during excavations for Thessaloniki’s new subway system. The road in the northern port city will be raised to be put on permanent display when the metro opens in 2016.

Widening sex scandal rocks Lackland Air Force Base in Texas SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A widening sex scandal has rocked Lackland Air Force Base, where every American airman reports for basic training.

Allegations that male instructors had sex with, and in one case raped, female trainees have led to criminal charges against four men.

Charges against others are possible.

The most serious accusations surround an Air Force staff sergeant scheduled to face a courtmartial in July on charges that include rape.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Hornets have a new broadcasting deal with Fox Sports, which will televise most of the NBA club’s games on a rebranded Fox Sports New Orleans affiliate. The agreement, announced Monday, replaces an expiring deal with Cox Sports Television and is expected to substantially increase the number of homes in which Hornets telecasts will be available.

BR Pride celebrates sixth festival Taylor Schoen

Clark Derbes paints his contribution to the BR Walls Project Friday afternoon on the McGlynn, Glisson & Mouton building on Florida Street in downtown Baton Rouge.

First of downtown mural series completed Walls Project aims to brighten BR Danielle Kelley Contributing Writer

Downtown Baton Rouge is getting a facelift, and phase one is complete.

The BR Walls Project is orchestrating the painting of multiple murals downtown. The finishing strokes were painted Monday on the first project, located at the corner of Florida and Third Street.

The mural, painted by Saliha Staib and Clark Derbes, is titled “Cinq Umbre” and consists of multicolored quadrangles.

“I think with the design, we were trying to make something elegant, but fun,” University alumnus Derbes said.

People of all demographics stopped to view the progress on the mural last week, the paint-caked Derbes said. The accessibility of the artwork will make all aware of Baton Rouge’s culture, he noted.

Staib said she hopes the mural will bring city-wide attention to local artists.

“It will bring art for the public eye,” she said in her French accent.

“I just want to encourage art in the city.”

The project is part of the recent downtown revival by the Downtown Development District, and co-curator Kathryn Thorpe said its purpose is to aesthetically improve Baton Rouge.

“Our intention is to bring more art and culture into Baton Rouge.

We’ve lived here for about a year,” Thorpe said. “There’s a ton of artists… but you just can’t tell when you’re visiting Baton Rouge.”

Building owner Daniel McGlynn said more murals will bring Baton Rouge’s downtown up to par with other cities’.

“It’d just be a brighter, happier place,” he said. “I hope they continue to do this mid-city and elsewhere.”

McGlynn noticed members of BR Walls Project eyeing his building months ago, and donated the wallspace after the individuals explained the idea.

“It was large, visible and easy,” he said, regarding the wall.

McGlynn noted the murals will add “a little fun, a little color, a little energy” to the downtown environment. Co-curator Casey Phillips said he has intentions of doing so.

“We believe that art can help connect our entire city together and expose a unified identity to express the soul of one of the great cities of the South,” Phillips said in an e-mail.

BR Walls Project plans to paint other walls downtown after the summer heat fades. The next one will be at either Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s, the Mentorship Academy or Harrington’s Cafe, according to Phillips.

The artists were chosen by the project’s board, which consists of a jury of more than 50 museum and gallery directors, building owners and local artists. BR Walls Project is made possible by Baton Rouge residents’ donations through a Kickstarter campaign and sponsorships from local companies.

Baton Rouge Pride Fest held its sixth annual festival alongside other pride events across the nation this past weekend.

Baton Rouge’s Pride events may have been on a smaller scale than other metropolises, but organizers said that this local event was just as important.

Tom Merrill, Baton Rouge Pride Fest’s chairman, said the festival began back in 2007, and this is its sixth straight year.

He said the fest has grown exponentially over the years, and it needed more space for expansion. Merrill said this year BR Pride Fest worked with the University’s student organization, Spectrum, and it was able to host its annual event in the Student Union Merrill said the event started as a quaint outreach picnic hosted by the Metropolitan Community Church. The fest originally only had 16 resource sponsors; that number has now grown to more than 50, according to Merrill.

Merrill said the resource fair is an integral part of the festival.

Resources consisted of support groups, political affiliates, local businesses and medical services, such as HIV testing.

“We want people to be able to find what’s out there and what’s available to them,” Merrill said. “I think that the growth of these resources really speaks to the importance of this event.”

Aside from the resource fair, the fest also supplied many other supportive services.

Merrill said this year is different because they offered more familyfriendly activities, such as a bounce house and a mixer for children with LGBT parents.

“We’ve always tried to make this a family-friendly event. I want kids, grandparents, gay friends and straight friends to all feel welcome,” Merrill said.

The festival also featured live music, drag shows, giveaways and Southern cuisine.

One unique event that takes place at Pride Fest is the blessing of relationships. According to Metropolitan City Church Reverend Keith

Attendees of the sixth annual Baton Rouge Pride Fast gather on the steps of the Louisiana State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge during Saturday’s festivities.

Mozingo, a relationship blessing is a public forum for a couple to declare their love and commitment to each other, and he said it’s fairly similar to a wedding.

Mozingo shared that, much like the festival as a whole, the relationship blessings have increased tremendously.

“The first year we offered relationship blessings, only six brave couples came forward to proclaim their love,” Mozingo said. “Last year we had more than 80 couples register for a relationship blessing.”

Along with the fun, Pride Fest also advocates issues in the LGBT community, namely equality.

The BR Pride Fest was preceded by an equality march, hosted by volunteer organization Capital City Alliance. Elaine M. Maccio, associate social work professor and CCA chair

member, spoke about the march.

“This was our first-ever equality march. The idea for the march began a mere three months ago,” Maccio said. “The majority [of CCA] was on board, so we went for it.”

According to Maccio, the march aimed to exemplify three main issues: employment non-discrimination, legalization of second parent adoption and domestic partner benefits.

Maccio said the turn out for the march was somewhere between 200 and 300 participants. She said she felt the community had come together for the cause, and they are already planning a march for next year’s Pride Fest.

said. “[This situation] is totally unnecessary simply because I think the administration feels they can do whatever they feel like and not listen to the faculty.”

After her removal, Homberger filed a complaint with the Faculty Grievance Committee, which voted unanimously in her favor, but the University took no action to resolve the issue, according to Homberger.

She said many faculty members and other professors around the country voiced their support for her and said they were also facing pressure from administrators to give good grades, “or else.”

“The problem we have now is that non-educators have the impression that the grades a student earns are a reflection of the quality of the teacher,” Homberger said.

Chancellor Mike Martin released a statement last week concerning the AAUP censure that stated Homberger’s matter had “long since been resolved internally.”

Not so, according to Homberger.

“They did something that is fundamentally wrong, and I’m still at a loss to wonder why they did this,” she said. “It could have been avoided just by talking to me.”

Martin’s statement also said the AAUP “did not speak to me” and therefore he “can’t know all the details,” a point that was refuted by Homberger and by Ravi Rau, physics professor and former

“It was more for employees to get some reps before we went live to the public,” he said. “In the coming weeks we’ll be passing out coupons and having big news on Facebook and Twitter and running specials.”

Jacob explained Five Guys’

president of the LSU chapter of the AAUP. “At the most charitable, we can see taking liberties with truth when he says the AAUP ‘did not speak to me at all and can’t know all the details’ when it was he who ignored all their written requests and refused to meet the three members of [AAUP] when they visited LSU for three days,” Rau said in an e-mail.

Homberger agreed, saying there were documents that showed Martin never responded to invitations to meet with the AAUP. “To pretend…that nobody talked to him, this is disingenuous,” Homberger said. “It’s not that [the AAUP] only got one side of the story.”

Rau also pointed out Homberger’s removal violated the University’s own policy on grades.

“Once an instructor is assigned to a course, he or she has the freedom in how it is run and how grades are assigned,” Rau said.

But Rau said the administration has reacted by trying to amend the policy, which Rau said won’t change the AAUP’s mind.

“When a mistake is made, to compound it by altering and then establishing it as a policy is not going to convince the world outside LSU,” he said.

Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope called the censure a “national disgrace” and said it could lower future hiring rates.

“It sends a clear message to faculty members that LSU is not providing a working environment Thursday opening similarly.

“We usually don’t do a grand opening or anything like that — you don’t want to be so busy on your first day,” he said.

“You want it to just build up over time.”

that meets national standards or that fits with the dignity of a great university,” he said in an e-mail.

“Such a censure will surely discourage faculty members from accepting positions at this University owing to fear that the exercise of free inquiry may lead to ill consequences.”

Cope also said the situations with van Heerden and Homberger were handled appropriately — once they came into the public light. “[The University] handled these situations properly after they came to public attention and after facility activists began exerting pressure, along with the general public,” Cope said.

Homberger also criticized the University for taking the censure lightly.

“I consider censure a catastrophe,” she said. “I’m not very happy about it at all.”

The censure also creates problems for the Faculty Senate, according to Cope.

“It creates a new problem we need to address,” Cope said. “A problem that should never have arisen at all.”

LSU System Vice President for Communication and External Affairs Charles Zewe said the LSU System must “defer comment at this time” because litigation involving van Heerden’s claims are still pending in federal district court.

“We are thrilled to be having eight athletes representing LSU and two future Tigers at the 2012 US Olympic Trials,” LSU coach Dave Geyer said in a news release.

Haley goes into the trials as the most decorated LSU swimmer. The Lady Tiger is a two-time NCAA qualifier and SEC bronze medalist in the 200–meter fly.

Haley finished 152nd with a time of 1:03.60 in the preliminary heats on Monday in the 100-meter butterfly. She still has the 200-meter butterfly event on Thursday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

New coach Jones looks forward to ‘challenging year’ Chandler Rome Staff Writer

Two months into his “dream job,” reality has quickly caught up with new LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones.

Losing 7-foot center and leading scorer Justin Hamilton to the NBA Draft, along with two-year starter Ralston Turner to North Carolina State, Jones didn’t mince words in Tuesday’s Southeastern Conference summer teleconference about the adversities his team will face next season.

“We’re definitely looking forward to a challenging year, with only five scholarship players returning,” Jones said.

Coupled with guard John Isaac’s failure to meet NCAA

academic eligibility and assistant coach Shawn Forrest’s abrupt resignation over speculation of resumé discrepancies, Jones’ tenure has been a rocky one, even before he holds his first official practice.

After inking three junior college transfers late in the signing period, Jones said he hopes to build a foundation around rising sophomores Anthony Hickey and Johnny O’Bryant III. He lauded Hickey as a true point guard, something Jones said is invaluable when trying to build a team.

“The great thing for both of them is that they played quality minutes last year,” Jones said.

“They are two really good players to try to build your team around.”

Jones said he expects rising junior Andre Stringer to have much

more of an impact in stretching the opponent’s defense, attributing it to the style of play the team will employ.

Howard College transfer and Thibodaux native Shavon Coleman will also challenge for playing time along with incoming freshman Shane Hammink, both 6-foot6 guards who could make an impact on the perimeter.

New NCAA practice rules have allowed incoming freshman and former John Curtis standout Malik Morgan to work with his new teammates, something Jones said is crucial to his development.

Calipari, UK prepare to reload again

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS / The Associated Press

Former MLB star Roger Clemens, center, is applauded by his attorneys outside federal court in Washington last Monday. Clemens was acquitted on all charges.

Clemens a liar, fraud even after acquittal SCUM OF THE GIRTH

PARKER CRAMER Columnist The United States government spent $20 million producing The Mitchell Report, which catalogued steroid use in Major League Baseball.

The report profiled 89 players, including Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Mark McGwire.

All of which, in my opinion, used performance enhancing drugs.

Recently, Roger Clemens was acquitted in court on perjury charges.

He was not on trial strictly for steroid use, at least this last time around.

In previous trials and Congressional hearings, Clemens testified that he had never used any performance enhancing drugs, despite the overwhelming evidence against him.

Pettitte, Clemens’ friend and former teammate, not only with the New York Yankees but also with the Houston Astros, testified that Clemens had used human growth hormone (HGH) to speed up recovery time.

Clemens claims Pettitte’s memory is inaccurate and maintains his own innocence.

Former athletic trainer Brian McNamee testified that he personally injected both Clemens and Pettitte with performance enhancing drugs.

Pettitte has admitted to using HGH in 2002 to assist in his recovery from an elbow injury.

So the question is, why would Pettitte, who is friends with Clemens, admit to using steroids himself and then lie about Clemens steroid use?

He wouldn’t.

How many people have to testify that they talked with Clemens about using steroids, saw Clemens use steroids or personally injected them into his ass until he will finally just admit it?

If the government spent as much time, money and effort trying to fix the economy as they have investigating steroid use in America’s slowest game, unemployment would be a thing of the past.

Despite his acquittal, Clemens is not out of the courtroom yet. He is still in the middle of a defamation lawsuit with McNamee.

If Clemens didn’t use steroids,

then it should be an easy conviction for his legal team. But if he did, then we should expect to see McNamee acquitted of defamation charges.

Only time will tell if Clemens actually used performance enhancing drugs since the testimony of former teammates, trainers and locker room staff doesn’t seem to be enough.

Roger Clemens is white trash that made it. Between steroids, statutory rape charges and his incessant denial of any wrongdoing ever, it’s safe to say he just sucks.

C’mon America, let’s just be honest with ourselves. Michael Jackson molested those kids, Casey Anthony killed her baby and Roger Clemens used steroids.

The enormous amounts of media attention these cases get only work in favor of the defendant. Jurors are forced to play devil’s advocate in order to appear unswayed by popular opinion.

You don’t have to be athletic to play baseball. Look at Babe Ruth, the most well-known player ever, with an enormous beer belly. Any sport where a borderline obese person can be the best ever can’t require much athleticism.

Mr. Clemens, just admit it. If your friends can admit they did it, why would they lie about you?

Mizzou, Florida counting on depth Chandler Rome Staff Writer

Tuesday’s Southeastern Conference Men’s Basketball Summer Teleconference gave fans a first look into the 2012-2013 season for some of the conference’s top contenders.

KENTUCKY As has become the norm, the defending national champion Wildcats will have to replace their entire starting five, something that doesn’t faze head coach John Calipari.

“For me to start all over every year, I’m going to be honest, it’s exciting,” Calipari said. “You have to be physically and mentally tough to play at Kentucky.”

Calipari admitted his team will be very young, and he will possibly start three freshman.

While highly-touted recruit Nerlens Noel will make an immediate impact, Calipari lauded both Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein as freshman who could surprise.

“Alex is a beast,” Calipari said. “I don’t think [Poythress and Cauley-Stein] still understand how good they can be.

JOHN BAZEMORE / The Associated Press

Kentucky head coach John Calipari speaks to players during the first half of the Wildcats’ Sweet 16 game against Indiana on March 23, 2012.

Haith said adding Connecticut transfer Alex Oriakhi, who averaged 7.2 points per game in three seasons and started on the Huskies 2010-2011 national championship team, was a welcome surprise.

“He’s a great addition,” Haith said. “That was kind of like the Christmas gift you don’t expect to get.”

Oriakhi chose the Tigers over perennial powers Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina.

FLORIDA After losing freshman sharpshooter Bradley Beal and senior point guard Erving Walker, the Gators will feature an extremely different backcourt from their Elite Eight team from a year ago.

Head coach Billy Donovan said he will rely on rising junior Scottie Wilbekin and rising senior Kenny Boynton to anchor

the backcourt, adding that freshman Braxton Ogbueze will also need to contribute.

Donovan said his talented recruiting class may be overshadowed by the depth of returning Rutgers transfer Mike Rosario, Boynton and Wilbekin, but they are willing to wait their turn.

“I think the kids that are coming in understand that there’s a possibility that there’s going to be some experience and some depth,” Donovan said. “But they also know after a year or so that things will really open up.”

MISSOURI Newcomer to the SEC and fresh off being on the wrong side of one of the most shocking NCAA Tournament upsets of all time, Missouri coach Frank Haith said his team is looking forward to the opportunity to switch conferences.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to move,” Haith said. “I think being in the SEC opened some doors in the Southeast for recruiting and the Missouri brand.”

true center, something Jones said is imperative to address. “[We’re] hoping that we could hopefully beef up inside,” Jones said. “We have to make sure – especially playing in this league – we’re bigger somewhat in size.”

Jones added that the Tigers hope to lure a couple late signees to hopefully address the size problems inside before returning to campus in August.

With Hickey and O’Bryant presumably the nucleus of an inexperienced bunch, Jones hopes the two sophomores will be able to handle the pressure night in and night out.

“There are no off nights in this league,” Jones said. “They will be counted on heavily.”

“For athletes,” Geyer said, “making this meet is always on top of their individual goal chart, as sometimes it is truly a once in a lifetime experience for them.”

LSU had three athletes represent the Tigers in the Olympic trials in 2008 when Kevin Braud and former Tigers Katie Gilmore and Stephanie Cota swam for a chance at Beijing.

“In 2008, the program had only three athletes representing the program,” Geyer said.

“Only one of those three swimmers returned for the following collegiate season. This year, all of these athletes will be returning to our team next year. I feel that is an obvious statement of the growth of our program and its great future.”

Once printed, the guides are shipped to media outlets and are sold to fans when they purchase tickets. Conforming to recent technological trends, only nine sports had books printed last year, with the other sports going straight online.

Martin said the decision on which books to print depends solely on the amount of media coverage and interest that is shown, adding that football,

Good Deeds: Student set to release mixtape Thursday THE PHILIBUSTER PHIL SWEENEY Columnist “So, why Cane’s?” I inquire of the can-do kid before me at our table.

He’s as cool as a goddamned cucumber, this cat — slouched against the wall of Gretna’s Raising Cane’s with the sort of chillpilled, “aight” posture you can’t learn.

His T-shirt is a saintly white.

His black hair is immaculately close-cropped. Even his thickframed glasses give him a distinguished aspect, say, of Johnny Depp. There’s no teaching this dude’s distinct dougie: It was his decision, after all, to be interviewed for this piece at — of all places — the Westbank New Orleans’ Cane’s.

“Really just enjoy sweet tea,” he y’ats at me, free and easy — and sans subject. “Really do,” he y’ats again, as if it were the toneful hook of a sweet tea slow jam, reeling me in, saccharrine-like.

Meet eighteen-year-old Dale Tabor, Jr., business management sophomore and would-be rapper — and sweet tea stalwart.

Meet Deeds.

He’s pleased to meet you, at any rate. These days, they don’t make ‘em more straight-shooting than the self-styled “relaxed but classy” New Orleanian. He’s a Simple Simon, Deeds. Less a rapper than a storyteller. And through it all, he waxes rhapsodic, “I try to keep my chin up and my pinky out,” which is something of a moral for his story — itself a welcome Lake Pontchartrain wind through the city.

It’s the tale he tells on his forthcoming mixtape “New Orleans 2 Baton Rouge” (NO2BR), a mixed-bag offering dropping Thursday — Deeds’ nineteenth birthday, as it were — downloadable free of charge at jmacdaddy. com. NO2BR, his second such compilation, puffs on tight-rolled thoughts of “home” — “not where you live,” he says, “but where you come from.”

Home is where Deeds’ heart is, ultimately. He burns for New Orleans. You can smell his smoke.

“Everybody has a home. Everybody. Even if it’s a corner, even if it’s under a bridge.”

FROM DALE 2 DEEDS And even if it’s on the Mississippi River levee — like Tabor’s.

“We grew up on the levee.

When I was thirteen or fourteen, after my mom would go to work, we’d go walk on it, drinking Monster and smoking cigs,” he snickered through a too-cool-for-school grin.

“I was a kid who grew up way too fast in the first city of sin,” he confessed. His parents were divorced, and he was often left to his own devices — Tabor was somewhat of a pyromaniac “skateboard kid,” a cat he let out of the bag at Cane’s with a Cheshire’s grin, unabashedly. Surprisingly, Tabor never was a “hip-hop head.” It wasn’t until his high school years at Archbishop Shaw, in fact, that he began rapping.

He was “D” then — for Dale.

But before long, Tabor said, as a cappella freestyle rap free-for-alls raged, “’D’ is up, ‘D’ is this, ‘D’ is that, ‘D’ is, ‘D’ is” simply became “Deeds” — a moniker he assumed, too, for the fact that he “[does] nice things for people.”

“I’LL COME.” It wasn’t until January, 2011, though, at The Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans, that Deeds really grabbed the mic.

That night, Deeds was just another face in the popular venue’s poppin’ crowd — until, as luck would have it, a lull in that night’s hip-hop gumbo-pot lineup left emcee Shiny Green with an unexpectedly empty stage. “Anybody wanna come up here? Anybody?” he provoked The Howlin’ Wolf patrons.

Deeds dared.

His palms were sweaty, his knees were weak, and his arms were heavy. Deeds declared despite this: “I’ll come.” Ten minutes later, Deeds had “seen the lights, the bright lights, the awed faces” at The Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans.

And ten months later — Deeds saw them at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

“DEAR MAMA” “If you don’t got a home,” Deeds is explaining, “you got nowhere to — ” Deeds had turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to his iPhone for an hour or so, but he’s suddenly dropped the mic, now, as the device begins to break-dance across the table. He’s still as cool a customer as ever — but his eyes are big. Bulging, even. Superdomes nested in a downtown of high-rising lashes, maybe.

“Sorry,” says Deeds to the caller — and like he means it, too.

“I’m in an interview.” And then — “Love you, too.”

“Mom?” I ask.

“Yeah,” he grants. “But, ah, I got a song on the mixtape called ‘Home,’ actually. It’s about leaving home and dealing with the temptations you’ve had your whole life.”

“Home” is Deeds’ darling, the black swan in NO2BR’s gaggle of tracks. Downy, duskless and deep-seated, it’s a slow-burner — a haunting nocturne more akin to Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” than anything else on the mixtape.

Deeds spits the song’s opening snippet for me — “Sorry, mama, had to leave, had to leave. / I know you worry, but my demons ain’t catchin’ me.” He lets the lyrics linger for a little while.

“It’s about the person you’ve always had looking out for you, that person everyone’s had in their lives — leaving and telling that person not to worry, that you’ll be good.”

“Mom?” I ask again.

“Nah,” he protests — and damned quickly, at that. “It’s not necessarily about my mom,” he insists. A few slow-dripping seconds of silence elapse, then. But for all I know, time’s been remixed itself.

Chopped and screwed, maybe — the Swishahouse cut.

“Yeah, it’s about my mom,” he finally fesses up, rosy-cheeked and smiling wryly.

MIXTAPE ON THE MIND I’m again at Cane’s — again opposite a coolio kid with a cup of sweet tea. This time, though, Deeds and I are at the restaurant’s original Baton Rouge location — and this time, it was by my doing.

Deeds, all hot and bothered,

is making sweet love to his sweet tea. He needs the TLC, having just taken a mass communication test for which he wasn’t well prepared.

His excuse: “got the mixtape on my mind.” It’s not a Universityapproved excuse — but it’s a valid one, nonetheless. “Having to balance my schoolwork and my music is a big challenge,” Deeds says.

Bigger, too — when you’re homesick.

But Deeds’ takes solace in his University, his alma mater: “Everybody at LSU,” he says, “everybody left home just like me,” Home is

Egyptian military greatest threat to democratic transition MANUFACTURING DISCONTENT DAVID SCHEUERMANN Columnist It’s a common occurrence after a revolution.

A power vacuum exists once the former regime is toppled. The populace, hoping to achieve some sense of order, puts power in the hands of a chosen group of leaders.

Eventually, the leaders consolidate authority and emerge as the defacto rulers continuing the cycle of authoritarian rule.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Revolutionary Russia experienced it with the Bolsheviks, and France had their own taste of the exchange of power when the Jacobins reigned.

Egypt may now find itself in a similar situation.

Muslim Brotherhood-backed candidate Mohamed Morsi has emerged as the winner of Egypt’s presidential election, but the office he campaigned for may have been

more powerful when he was just a candidate.

In the days before the run off vote, Egypt’s attempts at democracy were already under attack.

Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, believed to be made of former Mubarak loyalists, dissolved the popularly elected and Islamist-controlled parliament, and the Justice Ministry reimposed martial law by allowing the military to arrest civilians and try them in military courts until a new constitution is a ratified.

As polls were closing during the final moments of the presidential election last week, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces made moves to consolidate power and strengthen its position in the country as the ruling authority.

The SCAF issued a declaration granting itself legislative authority and greater control regarding the writing of Egypt’s new constitution.

The move also served to strip the incoming president of much of his powers, emphasizing that the incoming president would not

chair the council as previous presidents were allowed. In effect, the military would become a separate branch of government free from any kind of oversight from the populace.

The move should not come as much of a surprise.

The military was one of the main sources of authority under Hosni Mubarak’s regime and enjoyed a position of prestige in Egyptian society. When the Egyptian populace put the transition to democracy in the SCAF’s hands, the military was given the tool it needed to ensure that its position in Egyptian society would not be diminished.

However, the military has stated that the president will continue to have the authority to veto legislation and appoint a cabinet.

The SCAF has also said it is committed to upholding its promise to relinquish authority back to civilians after the set date of June 30.

Yet, with the deadline only a few days away, it is suspicious that the military council would grant itself such sweeping powers if it

did not wish to retain much of its authority.

The SCAF’s actions have been seen as an attempt to diminish the growing power that Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, have won in the parliamentary and presidential elections. Many fear Islamist rule would undermine freedom, especially for women, in Egypt and renew hostilities in an already volatile region. The SCAF is seen as the best protection from that and the only hope for secular rule in the country.

But what is best for the Egyptian people?

So far, it has been the SCAF, not the Muslim Brotherhood and their ilk, that has been most opposed to the democratic processes being attempted in Egypt.

The Muslim Brotherhood participated in both the parliamentary and presidential elections and were chosen by the Egyptian people in both. Meanwhile, the military has disbanded parliament and weakened the president’s authority.

Many of the military’s opponents have denounced these moves

as a “soft coup.”

Such a move is not without precedent.

In the ‘90s, Algerian military officials attempted to use legal powers to dissolve the country’s National Assembly and remove its president from power. Their goal was to combat the growing influence of Islamist parties in the government.

The Algerian military’s actions plunged the country into a decade-long civil war, but the military won in the end.

While Egypt will most likely not suffer a similar fate, the conflict between the country’s military and Islamists will indeed shape its future.

VIEW FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL

Addiction problems should not be redefined as disease

The Oracle, U. South Florida

The term “addiction” is not unfamiliar to most people. Most commonly, the first thing that springs to mind is drug addiction: an addiction to cocaine, heroin, or alcohol.

What about the obsessive streak of determination that strikes immediately after purchasing the newest video game?

You resolve to finish the game, oftentimes forgoing a much-needed food or bathroom break.

What about the infatuation you experience right after having met someone new?

You check your phone constantly for calls and text messages. You stalk them on Facebook and Twitter for any insight into their lives, thinking of little else.

Some suggest that all of these situations are caused by one disease: addiction.

Because of shows such as TLC’s My Strange Addiction, people can make light of addictions, causing them to seem trivial.

The American Society of Addiction Medicine in August 2011 redefined addiction as “a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.”

The definition, at its root, was meant to reduce some of the stigma associated with addiction.

Nonetheless, redefining the term will not change its effects on society, and addicts must be held accountable for their choices.

According to a study by addiction specialist Dr. Stanton Peele this month, there are no correlations between addictive behavior and genetics.

There is no evidence suggesting that addiction or addictive behaviors are inherited, especially since one gene cannot contain the innumerable facets associated with addiction.

Moreover, he asks, if addiction was genetic, why are those with the “addictive inheritance” likely to be found in the same groups of people or social settings?

Nonetheless, it would be incorrect to say that addiction has no physical consequences on the brain. According to a 2011 article titled “The Science of Addiction” by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, there are clear differences between the MRI brain scans of someone with an addiction compared with some¬one without.

However, there is no evidence that can pinpoint a predisposition for addiction.

As Psychologist Jeff Schaler, author of “Addiction Is a Choice,” said, “what’s next, are we going to blame fast food restaurants for the foods that they sell based on the marketing, because the person got addicted to hamburgers and french fries?”

With addiction now classified as a disease, compulsive gamblers can redirect the blame away from themselves.

Canadian Jean Brochu sued the government for causing his gambling “sickness” while

getting away with the embezzlement of $50,000.

He was placed on probation and told to see a psychologist but served no jail time because he was “helplessly addicted.” He and his lawyers want to sue for $700 million for the sake of all

other gamblers whom the state made “sick.”

Classifying addiction as a disease is harmful both to the psyche of the addict and to society in general. Addicts are no longer taking responsibility for the actions that have led to their

addictions. The solution to addiction is not the redefinition of the problem.
