Christopher Quinnon Brady, a University student, turned himself in Wednesday after the LSU Police Department sent out a broadcast email looking for a man who posed as an art student to photograph a female student. Brady, 20, of 13306 Avants Ave., was charged with simple battery and a misdemeanor summons. Brady, a mechanical engineering junior, allegedly pretended to be an art student and attempted to take inappropriate photos of a female student in Patrick F. Taylor Hall on Tuesday. The woman he tried to photograph initially agreed to have her picture taken, but when Brady’s advances made the woman uncomfortable, she refused. She also claimed Brady pushed her. Brady turned himself in as the man described by LSUPD, but admitted to the crime after questioning from police. Disciplinary repercussions from the University are not yet known.

INTERNATIONAL 1930s fresco painting of Christ accidentally disfigured in Spain MADRID (AP) — A small Spanish town is trying to figure out what to do with a 20th-century painting of Christ that has been disfigured by a local artist who was trying to restore it. Juan Maria Ojeda, an official in Borja town, said 80-year-old Celia Gimenez decided to touch up the fresco of Christ wearing a crown of thorns in the Misericordia church. He said no one realized how badly disfigured the painting was until she rang town hall to say what she had done. Paralympics competition has full TV coverage, just not in United States LONDON (AP) — This year’s Paralympics are expected to draw their largest ever live television audience — except in the United States. U.S. audiences must contend with five and a half hours of programming — some of which will air only after the 11-day competition in London has concluded on Sept. 9. That has left some equality campaigners complaining that Paralympic athletes, who include military veterans, aren’t being treated as the equal of their able-bodied teammates.

Auction cancelled for South Dakota land, considered sacred by Indians
Minister, anti-gay activist, convicted of obscenity after exposing himself
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The planned auction of nearly 2,000 acres of land in South Dakota’s picturesque Black Hills that is considered sacred by American Indian tribes has been cancelled, though it wasn’t immediately clear why. Brock Auction Company planned to auction five tracts of land owned by local residents Leonard and Margaret Reynolds on Saturday. But a message on the auction house’s website Thursday said it has been cancelled at the land owners’ direction. Police: Rodney King death accidental, caused by drugs and alcohol
GRETNA (AP) — A 55-year-old minister known for his bullhorn-amplified protests at an annual gay festival in the French Quarter has been convicted of obscenity for exposing himself while masturbating at a public park last year. The Rev. Grant Storms, of Metairie, waived a jury trial and the case was heard by state District Judge Ross LaDart, who on Wednesday found Storms guilty of the single count against him. He then sentenced Storms to three years of probation, citing no evidence of a criminal history. The TimesPicayune also reports Storms was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation. Storms declined comment.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Rodney King had been drinking and was on drugs when he plunged into a swimming pool and accidentally drowned in June, a coroner’s report released Thursday concluded. The report confirmed a previous police conclusion that King died by accident, and the case will be closed, said Rialto police Capt. Randy DeAnda. King, whose videotaped beating by Los Angeles police in 1991 led to deadly rioting, had long struggled with addiction.

Lance Armstrong to be stripped of Tour de France titles, receive life ban AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. AntiDoping Agency said Thursday night it will strip Lance Armstrong of his unprecedented seven Tour de France titles after he declared he was finished fighting the drug charges that threaten his legacy as one of the greatest cyclists of all time. Travis Tygart, USADA’s chief executive, said Armstrong would also be hit with a lifetime ban on Friday. Still to be heard from was the sport’s governing body, the International Cycling Union, which had backed Armstrong’s legal challenge.
(AP) — Louisiana wildlife officials say alligator hunting violations are rising, and one reason appears to be the popularity of outdoor reality television shows. The number of alligator violations has risen steadily since 2009, and some people arrested in recent years told wildlife agents they were copying what they saw on reality TV, said Col. Winton Vidrine, head of the enforcement division for the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

School of Landscape Architecture appoints professor as new director Cantrell plans to unify program Ferris McDaniel Staff Writer
SAT
FRI THU
Lounging outside of Garden District Coffee, the new director of the Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture takes a long sip of his dark java before speaking. “While I am the director, I’m only a small part in the bigger picture of our school,” said former assistant professor Bradley Cantrell. “Without the students approaching design and landscape architecture with some sort of passion and rigor, I can only do so much. My faith in the school is in the student body.” Students in the landscape architecture program will get the chance to prove Cantrell right once he officially begins as director in January 2013. Cantrell, 37, was chosen for the job after a search for candidates outside of the University came up short. Ken Carpenter, interim dean of the College of Art and Design, then began a conversation with the landscape architecture faculty about considering an internal candidate. “Brad’s name came up repeatedly,” Carpenter said. “He was not

He plans to expose students to a range of landscape architecture practitioners so they can understand how the information they’re learning is applied outside the walls of academia. Finally, he’s seeking more unity within the program by tying all steps of landscape architecture together into a more composite form of learning. For example, he said the way students think of design needs to tie more into areas like the technology used in landscape architecture. Cantrell said landscape architects in Louisiana have a heads up on those around the globe as they are facing issues such as rising sea levels and climate change directly. These issues are prevalent in other parts of the world but at a slower rate than Louisiana, he said. Louisiana has a “laboratory” that doesn’t exist anywhere else, Cantrell said. Landscape architects in the state can take what they’ve learned about problems they faced in Louisiana and apply that knowledge elsewhere. “I don’t have plans of leaving, but when that day comes, my belief is to take that spirit that I’ve seen in Louisiana and address problems that are going to be similar around the world.” Contact Ferris McDaniel at fmcdaniel@lsureveille.com

Stevenson said they had a joint vision and goal to develop an academic bookstore. “We want you to feel the LSU spirit in the store,” Stevenson said. He said the design team researched the academic and athletic history of the University and incorporated those aspects in the construction and design. The first floor of the 50,000-square-foot facility will have the largest LSU clothing and gift store in Baton Rouge, which will include a custom Nike shop, Stevenson said. He said the first floor will also feature a Clinique cosmetics counter and a display center of Barnes & Noble’s Nooks.

A replica of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk military aircraft from the Flying Tigers unit used during World War II will be suspended above the bookstore escalators, Tolliver said. It has been designed to represent LSU’s colors, and the University’s SEC East and West rivals will be depicted on the sides, he said. Stevenson said the second floor will have a more academic atmosphere. Three textbook reservation desks will minimize lines and expedite service for students that reserve textbooks, he said.

Upon returning loaned items, students may receive their money back, depending on the item’s condition. Volunteer Henry Bradsher donates his time and van to transport students and their new acquisitions to dorms or apartments nearby. “The idea is that if students buy anything that’s too big to carry, I’ll drive them around,” Bradsher said. The Loan Closet, located in room 133 of Parker Coliseum, opens every Thursday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters.

But not all details of the store have been easy to negotiate. “Apple is an interesting company to work with,” Tolliver said. He said he is still working on contracts with the company. If all goes as planned, the full-service Apple Store will open on schedule and also provide repair services. The attached parking garage should be completed by late October, said Mary Miles, assistant director of Facility Services. The garage will hold more than 700 vehicles and offer parking for faculty, staff, students and visitors, Tolliver said.
Contact Jacy Baggett at jbaggett@lsureveille.com Wright said there is a huge demand for this service because international students rarely have a form of transportation or access to money to purchase these items. “Many students arrive with few, if any, household supplies and have limited budgets for even basic necessities,” according to the IHF website.

Corey Webster : Round 2, Pick 43 by New York Giants in 2005 Webster is the most successful former member of LSU’s secondary. Since landing with the Giants as a two-time All-American, Webster can claim two Super Bowl trophies. Webster’s 2011 season, his seventh, was his best, making six of his 16 career interceptions.
Patrick Peterson: Round 1, Pick 5 by Arizona Cardinals in 2011 Winning the Bednarik and Thorpe awards his junior season solidified his elite status. A top-5 pick, Peterson’s punt returning skills translated to the NFL quickly, tying the singleseason touchdown record (4) and going to the Pro Bowl as a return specialist for the Cardinals in 2011.
LaRon Landry: Round 1, Pick 6 by Washington Redskins in 2007 (now with New York Jets) Landry has built a reputation as a heavy hitter. He dislodges both wits and footballs, forcing six fumbles and racking up 383 tackles in five years in the NFL. His playing style matches his intimidating stature; for proof, check his most recent Twitter pictures.
Morris Claiborne: Round 1, Pick 6 by Dallas Cowboys in 2012 The 2011 Thorpe Award winner, who snagged six interceptions last year, would have had more impressive numbers had teams actually thrown to his side of the field.

LSU to face tough non-conference foes Tyler Nunez
Sports Contributor
In most cases, a team in a tough conference would hope to have a soft non-conference schedule in order to garner a few easy wins early in the season and gain some momentum. But according to LSU volleyball coach Fran Flory, the tougher, the better. “Last year, part of the reason we weren’t in the [NCAA] Tournament was our strength of schedule outside of conference wasn’t very good,” Flory said. “We played some quality teams, but the tournaments we tried to get into did not end up being what we anticipated.” The opening weekend for the Tigers reflects this philosophy, as they travel to Austin, Texas, for the Longhorns Classic. The Tigers begin their season going toe-to-toe with No. 2 Texas on Friday at 6 p.m., No. 19 San Diego on Saturday at 9 a.m. and Cal Poly on Saturday at 4 p.m. It would be easy to allow such a tough weekend to overwhelm an LSU team that didn’t make the NCAA Tournament last season, but Flory’s squad is not focusing on its opponents. “We’re just doing our normal thing and focusing on us right now,” said freshman outside hitter Cati Leak. “We just want to take it one point, one set, one match at a time. LSU’s greatest challenge will likely come in its Friday night matchup against Texas. Coach Flory acknowledged her squad would have to play well to keep up with the Longhorns, citing the Texas opponents’ physicality as a primary concern. But the Tigers aren’t letting the task of matching up against the No. 2 team distract them from their goals this weekend. “We know we have to

prepare for three teams, not only one,” said senior libero Meghan Mannari. “We’re ready to just play our game, stay on our side of the net and do what we can.” With other matches against No. 19 San Diego, which is returning all but one of their players from last season, and Cal Poly, who has a new coach, the Tigers run the risk of falling into a hole early. “If we aren’t able to knock off some of these early, highranked teams, we, as a coaching staff, are going to have to do a great job of keeping the team focused for the middle and late part of the season,” Flory said. But Flory remains confident that her team will prove it belongs by the end of the weekend. “I think we’re going to compete in every match,” Flory said. “This is going to be a special season for these kids.” Contact Tyler Nunez at tnunez@lsureveille.com

LSU sophomore Malorie Pardo (14) sets up a spike Saturday in the PMAC for the Purple and Gold Scrimmage.
LSU women’s basketball coach Nikki Caldwell may have spent the last year promoting purple and gold, but this summer she represented red, white and blue. The USA Basketball Women’s U-18 National Team selected Caldwell to be an assistant coach at the FIBA Americas Championship. Caldwell said she was ecstatic when she received a phone call from Women’s National Team Director Carol Callan asking her if she was interested in taking the job. She particularly looked forward to the chance to work with Miami Head Coach Katie Meier, who was head coach for the tournament, and Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves, who assisted along with Caldwell. “I was honored and immediately said yes,” Caldwell said. “I was excited to coach that caliber of kids and I was equally excited to work with Katie and Kelly.” Caldwell acknowledged that when gathering a group of such talented athletes, many of whom have never played with each other,
it is hard to predict how the team chemistry will shape up. Fortunately, she said the team knew what it was playing for and matured quickly. “It was a great experience,” Caldwell said. “We were able to bring a group of young ladies together to play for a common goal.” Other than a small scare against Brazil in the finals match, the United States cruised to a gold medal, defeating their opponents by an average of 47.4 points per game. Despite the uneventful nature of Team USA’s victory, Caldwell said it didn’t take anything away from earning the gold medal. “It was a memorable moment standing on that podium and being able to raise your hands high,” Caldwell said. “We enjoyed the fact that we were first place and being able to hear the national anthem.” Caldwell was able to use the trip as an educational experience.

Mingo and senior defensive end Montgomery’s relationship, which began at a recruiting visit to Michigan, turned into a brotherhood. Their relationship off the field helps them stay competitive on the field. Montgomery and Mingo are constantly pushing each other to be the first to get to the quarterback or the first to make a tackle behind the line of scrimmage. Montgomery said he and Mingo use games to compete on the field and video games to compete off the field to humble each other and stay away from any hype. “We do those things to keep ourselves ready to go,” Montgomery said. “To keep us striving for greatness and keep our hunger going. ... All we know is that we’re just two guys that love football who come from two small towns trying to make our dreams come true.”

Freshman forward grew up with a different kind of football Mexico native was on national team Bria Turner Sports Contributor
Fernanda Piña no longer lives in a country where dribbling is automatically associated with soccer. She now lives in a country where a different type of football is the most popular sport. For the freshman forward/ midfielder, a change in location came with a change in culture, climate and cuisine. But the hardest thing for the 18-year-old was adjusting to the plentiful imitations of her hometown fare. “I hate the fake Mexican food,” Piña said. “We don’t have burritos, and we don’t have chimichangas in Mexico.” Piña is a former member of Mexico’s Women’s National U-17 and U-20 teams and participated in FIFA’s U-17 Women’s World Cup. The competition on a national level gave Piña an edge. “She has a soccer savvy that most of the Americans don’t have,” said LSU Coach Brian Lee. “She does little tricky things on the field that the American kid doesn’t do.” Piña is majoring in kinesiology but plans to go to dental school after graduating. When deciding which school was the best to attend, Piña factored in which had the best facilities, teammates and weather. Ultimately, it was something that couldn’t be measured that led Piña to Baton Rouge. “I love the pride LSU has,” Piña said. “It’s awesome.” Piña said there are a few differences between American and international play. For example, she said the players in America are taller. “We have a different style,” Piña said. “[There is] more dribbling in international, but it’s like

L’Auberge opening a game changer in SEC
WEB COMMENTS The Daily Reveille wants to hear your reactions to our content. Go to lsureveille.com, our Facebook page and our Twitter account to let us know what you think. Check out what other readers had to say in our comments section: In response to Clayton Crockett’s column, “Collaboration among advocacy groups on campus a good sign,” readers had this to say: “Vietnam was a hot topic nationwide in the sixties when I attended LSU, yet there was modest protest on campus. The apathy thesis of your article is timeless, so I share your joy at seeing political, religious and social awakening among the student body groups. I’m especially happy to see renewed activity with the campus Democrats and suspect this interest is spawned by the gutting of higher ed by the Jindal juggernaut - nothing like local issues to provoke local interest. Nice article...” - Dr. B In response to Jay Meyers’ column, “Paul Ryan, the only VP candidate who ever mattered,” readers had this to say:
THE TRADITIONALIST CHRIS ORTTE Columnist Cardshark is not a word I would use to describe myself. But looking over the cow pastures on Nicholson Drive to the new L’Auberge Casino and Hotel Baton Rouge, I know by adding a Vegas-style casino along the Mississippi River to a University with incredible traditions, Baton Rouge has set a new standard for good times in SEC. Location is key in real estate and development, and the location of L’Auberge in Baton Rouge is perfect. The structure resembles the city with an obvious joie de vivre. Like a piece of Vegas that lost its way down the bayou, it straddles the levee, standing over the Mississippi as if trying to impose upon the River’s force. Although the Big Muddy has
hosted more scenic shores in its long, winding history, the opening of L’Auberge Baton Rouge is a big step leading the way to make our stretch of river more of an attraction to revelers, rather than a pure industrial mecca. Granted, our refineries and freighters will continue to grace us with their view — at least I hope so, for the sake of Louisiana’s economy. With the opening scheduled Aug. 29, the timing is great. It’ll open a potentially historical season in LSU football, added that we’re in the midst of a yearlong celebration of Louisiana’s bicentennial. However, this was not the original date. The record crest of the Mississippi River in spring 2011 that had an eerie sense of the Great Flood of 1927 brought construction of the grand casino hotel to a halt. For more than a century man has grappled and wrestled to maintain the river at bay. Once again it threatened

man’s determination. With the combination of the Mississippi River, the University and now L’Auberge Baton Rouge, our city is poised to set itself farther apart from any college towns of the SEC — or any college town, for that matter. The casino hotel is definitely a game changer among SEC schools. No one else can boast a $368 million Vegas-style casino hotel, which is situated on the banks of one of the world’s greatest waterways, in the capital city of the state everyone wishes to experience a part of. Where else on God’s green Earth is there such a combination of tradition and culture, an atmosphere for the most “bon” of times and the best football a pork-rind-eatin’, beer-drinkin’ man could ask for? But other than giving us Tigers an incredible edge, the economic life L’Auberge Baton Rouge should bring to the community will be great. L’Auberge itself alone created 1,000 new

jobs — some evidence that government doesn’t create jobs, but businesses do — and will be using local vendors. Now weekend trips for Saturday games will turn into fourday vacation stays — profitable weekends for Baton Rouge. As if opposing fans weren’t excited enough to come down to Tiger Stadium before. Pregame parties and after parties will never be the same in Baton Rouge with the additional 74,000 square feet of a gambling room and a rooftop pool. So as all roads lead south to Baton Rouge this fall, let’s pass some good times — because it’s evident we’re in the place to be. Chris Ortte is 21-year-old political science senior from Lafayette.

Ryan may not lack muscle, but his voting record does BUT HE MEANS WELL GORDON BRILLON Columnist At first glance, Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan is the ideal Republican candidate — a young intellectual leader with plenty of legislative experience who also happens to be in terrific shape. Ryan credits his fitness to the notorious P90X routine, which emphasizes the concept of “muscle confusion” to continually change up exercises and keep the body guessing, according to its website. The problem is this scattershot philosophy of exercise has carried over to Ryan’s political actions — his congressional voting record shows how inconsistent his beliefs are. Ryan shows all the classic symptoms of clinical “voting confusion.” Alternating chin-ups, yoga and bicep curls might do wonders for his physique, but if Ryan’s policies aren’t consistent, America will be worse off for it. Ryan is routinely portrayed as a leading Republican theorist, a Reagan-esque supply-side adherent with hints of libertarianism. This is mainly due to his famous deficit-reducing budget plan and professed love for the writings of Ayn Rand. But Ryan’s voting record shows a history of fiscal irresponsibility — alarming for the man who is supposed to save our economy. In the Bush years, Ryan fell in line with other Republicans, routinely voting for bloated expenditures and debt ceiling increases. As a congressman in
2003, Ryan voted for a Medicare expansion for a prescription drug benefit, which in 2014 will have cost more than $500 billion, according to a Los Angeles Times study. For all his flexing and posturing, it’s painfully obvious Ryan is pretending to be something he’s not. He is one of the big-spending, irresponsible neoconservatives who already had eight years to run our country into the ground, hiding behind a budget plan that flatters to deceive. He’s the chubby kid wearing a T-shirt in the neighborhood pool — which might explain why all his suits look like he borrowed them from Chris Christie. Ryan’s budget plan, whether you agree with it or not, certainly takes some bold steps to reduce federal spending. In a drastic turnaround from his 2003 vote, Ryan proposed cutting Medicare benefits by about $700 billion over the next decade, according to analysis by Politifact.com. But for someone who claims to be so passionate about frugality, Ryan has one enormous blind spot: the defense budget. The United States spends far more on its military than any other world power, but Ryan has repeatedly refused to make substantial cuts to this area of spending. In recent years, many experts have recommended that Pentagon spending be scaled down, including officials from the Pentagon itself. So what was Ryan’s excuse for shooting down $500 billion in budget cuts that top generals said could be safely made? He just didn’t believe them. “We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don’t think the generals believe their budget is truly the right bud-
get,” Ryan said of the proposed cuts at a budget discussion forum earlier this year. Maybe Ryan is just confused again, and this time forgot whose side he’s supposed to be on. But since Ryan apparently knows what the military wants — even if they don’t — I suspect we’ll see some truly revolutionary defense ideas from him should he find his way into the vice presidency. If the Pentagon were to revamp its training program and replace the current system with the
P90X routine, each soldier could be trained for just three easy payments of $39.95 (plus shipping and handling). Surely even the most hawkish of Ryan’s sensibilities can’t object to that. It fits right into his preferred model of cutting federal spending, giving money to private companies and letting everyone else pull themselves up by their bootstraps. With a man of Ryan’s record in the second-highest office in the nation, it’s impossible to tell what’s coming. The only sure

Homophobia, cultural discrimination fixable with insight IN-LOOKING OUTSIDER TESALON FELICIEN Columnist Inward reflection is always necessary when the values learned during childhood become outdated. Growing up in the Caribbean – a society similar to the South – I was educated early on why homosexuality was wrong in God’s eyes. I read Leviticus 20:13, I heard about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and I soon internalized this view. But this past summer, I researched the subjects of gay rights and homosexuality with a few questions in mind. What are gay rights, what makes a homosexual identifiable
and why does American society deny them certain rights? “I call it human or equal rights,” said Kent Filbel, an openly gay communication studies professor. Filbel added that people typically associate the term “gay rights” with “special rights,” which are essentially the right to be without fear of discrimination. I learned quickly that homosexuality has no face. Around the same time of my awakening, R&B sensation Frank Ocean publicly came out, admitting that his first love was a man. The revelation was a shock, but reaffirming. Ocean sang about women, driving fancy cars and all of the things straight men are supposed to admire as dictated by our culture. There were no indicators of the burdens — like hiding his sexuality — Ocean
had to carry. This revelation proves that your brother, sister, friend or anyone else that you come into contact with on a daily basis could be fostering similar feelings. After all, they are humans — not some other species as our cultures can lead us to believe. So why are they still denied certain rights? The denial of same-sex marriage obviously comes to mind. Marriage has lost its flavor. By most statistics, the divorce rate hovers at or above 50 percent, people get married multiple times and single-parent homes are not uncommon. So what are we, as a society, to do about homosexuals? Should we round them up like one North Carolina pastor suggested, or continue to ignore the issue and place it on the back burner where
it’s been for centuries? Call me a passive Christian, but if God made us who we are, then let Him be the judge of how we express our sexuality. Though still not a leading issue, gay rights have seen some light in the Obama administration. On Sept. 20, 2011, the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy was repealed, making it possible for gays and lesbians to openly serve in the armed forces. In May of this year, President Barack Obama became the first president to publicly voice support for same-sex marriage. Kameron Kilchrist, a biological engineering senior and member of Spectrum, the University’s LGBT club, praised the president for helping the cause. “We really work to create lasting friendships among stu-
dents from different majors and perspectives,” Kilchrist said. Kilchrist acknowledged he has been amazed by the support he received from students and faculty alike. Change is always hard, even for me, and it is especially necessary if it hinders the liberties of others. My name is Tesalon Felicien, and I am no longer homophobic or ignorant about gay rights.
