Bouvay indicted by grand jury Staff Reports William Bouvay Jr., the man who allegedly called in a bomb threat to the East Baton Rouge Parish 911 Call Center, has been indicted by a federal grand jury, according to U.S. Attorney and Baton Rouge District Attorney offices. Bouvay, 42, is being charged with willfully conveying false information concerning the attempt to destroy property by means of explosives. If found guilty, he could face 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. According to the Associated Press, Bouvay also faces a state charge of communicating false information of a planned bombing that could add up to 20 years to his sentence. Bouvay was arrested Tuesday night after authorities tracked down the deactivated cell phone he used to make the threat. According to the Associated Press, Bouvay admitted to making the call after he was arrested. He is being held at the EBR Parish jail on a $1 million bond.

Storming the Plains LSU Tigers look to rectify road woes at AU Chandler Rome Sports Writer
Between blowouts and bomb threats, it’s still the same message from Bennie Logan. On the heels of LSU’s first road trip of the season to open Southeastern Conference play, the Coushatta native and junior
defensive tackle had a familiar battle cry for the underclassmen. “Stay focused and prepare to dominate,” Logan said. “You dominate at practice, you dominate in the game.” Fresh off of three non-conference romps to open the season, the Tigers (3-0) will meet a fragile Auburn club in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday, where the Tigers are 1-2 under coach Les Miles. After Monday’s bomb threat and the ensuing campus-wide
evacuation that forced the Tigers to call off film study and practice, Miles predicted the team will feel no ill effects, pointing to his staff’s overemphasis of certain points. “The good news is we overcoach it,” Miles said. “We never get to a game when we don’t think there’s something we need to coach some more.” Even with last week’s lackluster showing against LouisianaMonroe, Auburn (1-2) is still a AUBURN, see page 11

honors current campus University spent $82,000 on facility Joshua Bergeron Staff Writer
On Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1925, the University began a new life on a new campus. The University’s campus was originally located downtown, on what is currently the Louisiana State Capitol. But the school was quickly running out of room in what was a converted military post. Most of the land lying south of Baton Rouge consisted of plantations, according to Clarke Cadzow, local historian and Highland Coffees owner. Cadzow said the backstory of the land is also historically significant. “Highland Road got its name because it was higher than the rest of the land,” he said. “So, when the Mississippi River flooded, Highland didn’t.” CAMPUS, see page 11

Bomb threat reported at airport Ferris McDaniel and Catherine Threlkeld Staff Writer and Photo Editor
Only three days after an empty bomb threat turned LSU’s campus into a frenzy, another bomb threat was reported at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport on Thursday evening. The airport’s terminal and parking garage were evacuated, and a car bomb was reported to be located in a black SUV parked in the garage, said East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux. “I literally just sat down at the gate, and they told everyone to get out of here; we have to evacuate the airport,” said Lenox Brown, accounting senior. Brown, who was preparing to
visit his girlfriend in Atlanta, said he sat outside after the evacuation until the evacuees were moved to a hangar. Airport authorities informed evacuees of the black SUV car bomb and asked any person with a black SUV to come forward for questioning, he said. The airport’s incoming flights continued to land, but did not dock at the terminal, said airport spokesman Jim Caldwell. Those on-board the airplanes were eventually transported to the same hangar as the other evacuees. Caldwell said the threat was reported between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., and the FBI is involved in the investigation. Noah Baker, a 23-year-old law student, was involved in the
airport evacuation, as well as Monday’s campus exodus, and said the most recent evacuation was “easier” than the previous one. He had a two-hour evacuation from his classes at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, located on the outskirts of campus. “It’s kind of frustrating because between the hurricane and the bomb threat on Monday and now this, personally for me, it’s all really inconvenient,” Baker said. Baker said none of the evacuees “really know what’s going on” and compared the evacuation to “being held hostage.” Contact Ferris McDaniel at fmcdaniel@lsureveille.com

INTERNATIONAL Rebels give hope as they unite in fight for Syria’s largest city, Aleppo ALEPPO, Syria (AP) — Rebels have taken a major stride in uniting their ranks in the battle for Syria’s largest city, giving them hope they could tip the balance after three months of bloody, stalemated combat in Aleppo, one of the biggest prizes of the civil war. The question is how much more destruction the city can bear. Government troops are retaliating against more effective rebel attacks with increasingly devastating bombardment, and civilians are bearing the brunt, with their neighborhoods left in ruins. The new military council was announced Sept. 9. British soldier unexpectedly gives birth to a boy on Afghanistan base LONDON (AP) — Hours after a British soldier in Afghanistan told medics she was suffering from stomach pains, the Royal Artillery gunner unexpectedly gave birth to a boy — the first child ever born to a member of Britain’s armed forces in combat. Britain’s defense ministry said Thursday the soldier told authorities she had not been aware she was pregnant and only consulted doctors on the day she went into labor.

The mural, stretching three blocks along a wall off Cairo’s Tahrir Square, has been a sort of open-air museum of the history of the revolution and its goals — with “martyr” portraits of slain protesters, graffiti, jokes and more.

Amish convicted of hate crimes for hair and beard attacks in Ohio
Police investigate substitute teacher in student mouth-taping incident
CLEVELAND (AP) — Sixteen Amish men and women were convicted Thursday of hate crimes for a series of hair- and beard- cutting attacks on fellow sect members in a religious dispute that offered a rare and sometimes lurid glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulating community of believers. A federal jury found 66-yearold Samuel Mullet Sr., the leader of the breakaway group, guilty of orchestrating the cuttings last fall in an attempt to shame mainstream members who he believed were straying from their beliefs.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — A new chemical analysis shows that virtually all the tar balls now washing onto the Alabama coast are directly linked to the BP oil spill that occurred more than two years ago. The report released Thursday by Auburn University says that tar balls caused by the spill are hundreds to thousands of times more common than another type of asphalt-like tar deposit that’s been in the Gulf for years. Researchers tested tar found on Alabama beaches after Hurricane Isaac last month.
ATLANTA (AP) — Chick-fil-A is once again in the public relations fryer. The controversy flared up this week when a Chicago politician said the company was no longer giving to groups that oppose samesex marriage, angering Christian conservatives who supported Chick-fil-A this summer when its president reaffirmed his opposition to gay marriage. In its statement Thursday, the Georgia-based company said its corporate giving had for many months been mischaracterized.

Female self-defense class to be taught at University
Shannon Roberts
The Rape Aggression Defense Systems course teaches women how to protect themselves against attacks. The program is $25 for students, faculty, and staff.
Contributing Writer
Female students, faculty and staff members will have the opportunity this weekend to learn how to better protect themselves from attacks. Starting Friday at 6 p.m., the University will offer a Rape Aggression Defense Systems course in the Center for Computation & Technology Annex Building. According to R.A.D. System’s website, the program’s mission is to provide instructors to help all people “create a safer future for themselves.” The class covers a multitude of different attacks women can learn to protect themselves from. Health Promotion Coordinator of the Office of Health Promotion Kathy Saichuk said some of the scenarios the class talks about are home invasion, personal space invasion by strangers and physical aggression. “It enhances skills that we
already have, and we don’t even realize we have them,” she said. “It teaches us how, through selfawareness, to learn to use a lot of the natural skills that we have and our natural instincts.” The class helps females increase their self-awareness and personal safety. Saichuk said students are also able to protect the ones they love. The University is offering the basic class for $25 for students,

faculty and staff and $45 for the general public. The basic class does not cover advanced training on weaponry or aerosols, Saichuk said, but students must take the basic course before moving on to more advanced classes. Saichuk said the course changes each year to focus on new situations involving ever-evolving technology and digital media, and students living on their own and traveling alone.
R.A.D. programs are held across the nation and around the world. The program is taught in Canada, the United Kingdom, Korea and Switzerland, and the course is taught on military bases, said instructor-trainer at the R.A.D. Systems Jennifer Nadeau. “If you go to a R.A.D. class, the methodology of teaching is identical, the skills are identical, progression is identical,” she said. Although students are still signing up, smaller classes are better for teaching, Saichuk said. The instructors prefer to have small classes so students can get one-onone attention, ask questions and have discussions. Four instructors will teach this weekend, including Saichuk, two LSU Police Department officers, and an associate dean in the Office of the Dean of Students. The class at the University typically needs three aggressors for the attack simulations. Nadeau’s father, Larry Nadeau,
started the program in 1989, almost 25 years ago. While working in law enforcement at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, sexual assaults increased on campus. Because he had experience in martial arts and defensive tactics training, Larry was asked to come up with a program for women on campus. “He never thought that it would leave that campus,” Jennifer said. “But 25 years later, we have quite a number of instructors across the country.” The national office for R.A.D. Systems is now located in Denham Springs, La., Larry’s hometown. “The ultimate purpose is for a woman, should she ever get into a situation where she’s attacked, is to escape with the least amount of harm done to herself. That’s the ultimate goal,” Saichuk said. Contact Shannon Roberts at sroberts@lsureveille.com
LAW CENTER
Some pre-law students choose schools based on rankings Danielle Kelley Contributing Writer
A recent Kaplan Bar Review survey reveals that law school graduates advise prospective students to evaluate affordability and job placement rates when applying to law schools, but many students pay more attention to national rankings than anything else. Applicants should weigh their future finances and employment more than the “monopoly on the law school rankings,” said Jeff Thomas, director of pre-law programs at Kaplan Test Prep. Thomas said the U.S. News & World Report rankings are the only statistics applicants look at since there aren’t other notable school rankings. “Law school rankings should not be the primary factor in choosing a school,” he said. Logan Williams, economics freshman, said he is most interested in the University of Chicago and Georgetown University law schools because of their “noteworthy faculty” and rankings.

The U.S. News & World Report ranked University of Chicago at the No. 5 spot, and Georgetown claimed the No. 13 spot. The LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center is ranked No. 79. Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans law schools are ranked 51 and 135, respectively. Thomas said the employment percentage of graduates should have more value in applicants’ decisions since the current “supply of lawyers” is higher than the demand. “It’s understandable that students won’t think about 2015, 2016 now,” Thomas said. “What this is
reminding students to do is to think long and hard not just if they want to go to law school, but what they want to do after they graduate.” In some instances, schools that ranked lower in the U.S. News & World Report have higher job employment percentages for graduates than top-ranked schools, he said.

POLITICS
Professors say tax debate is at the forefront of election
Megan Dunbar Staff Writer
Four economics professors agreed Thursday that action should have been taken earlier to save the country from economic crisis during an economic policy forum at the Business Education Complex. Associate finance professor Rajesh Narayanan said governments typically respond too late and not adequately enough, and this has been true of the United States. Narayanan said Americans have principles and ideas about taxes that have not been put into action. “I think at the time, it was unclear how big the stimulus needed to be,” said economics professor Dek Terrell. Terrell said in any large government, some parts are bound to be ineffective. The panelists also eventually agreed that presidents have limited influence on the economy. “They don’t create quantities of jobs,” Terrell said. “But they can react to situations and keep them from getting worse.” Finance professor Joe Mason said presidents have minimal influence for their first two years

in office, and after implementing some of their own policies, they gain more. Later, the panelists addressed tax reform. Associate economics professor Areendam Chanda said he considers the tax debate to be the most important to the fate of the presidential election, but he does not know what the effects of the tax plans will be. “I have not seen any good papers on the correlation between personal income tax and the economy,” Chanda said. Terrell supported plans like flat rates and former presidential hopeful Herman Cain’s 999 plan,
while Narayanan said a panacea for the problems with tax code is impossible. “When it’s difficult for me as a Ph.D. economist to understand my tax form, there’s a problem,” said Terrell. Terrell said one obvious solution is to reinstate the payroll tax to help with social security funding. This will be seen by the American public as raising taxes on the average worker, but Terrell said it’s necessary. Mason said the tax code needs to have a social dimension that is “palatable to the American public.” The original problem in the economy, according to Mason, stemmed from a lack of bank and investment accountability. The average person could not determine what would be a good investment. The issue now is that these bad investments are being liquidated, and the businesses aren’t acknowledging it, Mason said. Connie Bernard, an MBA student, said she wished the panelists could have gone into more depth.

LSU then-freshman running back Kenny Hilliard (27) jumps into the end zone for a touchdown Oct. 22, 2011, during LSU’s 45-10 victory against Auburn at Tiger Stadium.
Eleven months ago today, LSU sophomore running back Kenny Hilliard was nothing more than the nephew of an old Tiger legend with a lot of potential. Eleven months ago Saturday, Hilliard made a name for himself in one of the nation’s deepest backfields after a 65-yard, two-touchdown performance against Southeastern Conference rival Auburn. In the wake of then-sophomore running back Spencer Ware and three other Tigers’ suspensions for a violation of the team’s substance abuse policy, Hilliard received his chance to follow in the footsteps of his uncle, former LSU running back Dalton Hilliard. “[Ware] went down with the issue he had going on, and I was able to come in and pick up his slack,” Hilliard said. “And that’s what it’s all about. Being able to come in and pick up other people’s slack.” Before that week, Hilliard recorded only five carries for 22 yards. Since then, Hilliard has become a deadly weapon for the Tiger offense, posting 94 carries for 618 yards and 14 touchdowns — all of which lead the team. “I’m just trying to pick up from what I did last year and continue to get better each and every week,” Hilliard said. “I feel like I am [a complete back]. I’m just going to go out there, stay humble, get my assignments and have fun. This season, Hilliard has produced 21.4 percent of LSU’s total offensive yardage and contributed to nearly a quarter of the Tigers’ point total.

Away game offers respite from tailgating THE BERT LOCKER ALBERT BURFORD Deputy Sports Editor You’ve earned this, LSU fans. You’ve put on an impressive performance for three weeks. It was to be expected, but you’ve passed the first three tests with flying colors. Each Thursday, you set up tents and parked RVs. You woke up way too early on Saturday morning after a long Friday night. Then you spent all Saturday out in the hot Louisiana sun, indulging in everything that makes LSU tailgating great— food, drinks, music and friends. Hell, some of you even made it to the football games. The tailgating life is a lot of
fun, but it takes its toll. That may sound funny to those who aren’t familiar with LSU tailgating, but that’s because they don’t do it right. Sundays are recovery days, 24-hour hangovers spent glued to the couch watching the Saints struggle. But this week, there is no home game, and no home game means no tailgating. This may be a bit of a downer to some people, but I urge you to always look on the sunshiny side of life. This week’s game at Auburn is a blessing in disguise. Those of you who will make the trip to that desolate land they call the state of Alabama, I commend you. It takes a special dose of persistence to journey to TAILGATING, see page 7
CONNOR TARTER / The Daily Reveille
The past three Saturdays may have exhausted some Tiger fans. This week’s away game is a welcomed chance to rest up for tailgating before yet another home match Sept. 29.

The LSU cross country teams hope for a little home track advantage as the Tigers and Lady Tigers are set to host the LSU Invitational at Highland Road Park on Saturday morning. The Lady Tigers will try to build off a ninth place seasonopening finish at the Commodore Classic at Vanderbilt last weekend. LSU senior Laura Carleton paced the team and finished fifth individually with a time of 21:14.53. “I would like to improve on my time for last week,” Carleton said. “You can’t always see the improvement in the time, but I just want to feel like I’m getting faster week-to-week.” The Lady Tigers won the LSU Invitational last season. Carleton won the race while redshirting and running unattached from the team. Seniors Dakota and Brea Goodman also ran well in the

than Hilliard is junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger. “Whoever is getting the ball is going to be the person we’re looking for to get the yards,” said senior left guard Josh Dworaczyk. “You get Kenny in a hole, full speed ahead, we saw that last week and hopefully we see some more of that this week.” LSU coach Les Miles compared the 1-2 combination of Hilliard and fellow running back Alfred Blue to the “Shake and Bake” saying from the Will Ferrell movie “Talladega Nights.” But with Blue sidelined by a knee injury suffered in last week’s game against Idaho, there may need to be a little more “shake” in Hilliard’s play against Auburn. “I’m not nervous,” Hilliard said. “It’s the game of football I’ve been playing all my life. I’m going to take this opportunity to get better and do what I can for this team — just take my time out there and play football.” With Blue’s injury, Hilliard knows he’ll have to be the one to step in and take over his teammate’s duties in the backfield. “[Blue] is very good at picking up blitzes,” Hilliard said. “We’re all good at it, but he’s really good
at picking up blitzes and outrunning defenders, but we have Michael Ford for that, too.” Ford is expected to take over the role of speed back at Auburn, but as Hilliard’s 71-yard touchdown run against Idaho showed, Hilliard has wheels of his own. Hilliard finished last season weighing in at 240 pounds. But during the offseason, the Patterson, La., native dropped some weight and is ready to show off his newfound speed. “If I didn’t [shed weight] I couldn’t outrun the defenders,” Hilliard said. “Dropping down to 225, that’s perfect for me. I’m not dropping any lower than that because I was at 220 one time and I feel like I was light and I didn’t really like it.” Hilliard knows the new batch of freshman backs will be laying in wait for an opportunity, just as he did a year ago. “I had to wait my opportunity, too,” Hilliard said. “My turn came just as well and I took advantage of it. [Jeremy Hill’s] turn came and he took advantage of it. When somebody goes out, the next person has to come up and play that role.” Contact Mike Gegenheimer at mgegenheimer@lsureveille.com

Mayoral Race Holden’s long-term solutions are the right plan for Baton Rouge BUT HE MEANS WELL GORDON BRILLON Columnist The current political climate is dominated by knee-jerk reactions. It’s a result of the 24-hour news cycle and a strongly polarized two-party system. When we see something we don’t like, the automatic reaction is to turn on our heels and run to the other party, hoping its members will have a quick and easy solution to the problem. This makes it difficult to implement any long-term political plans, and nearly impossible to commit to any solution that could truly affect any systemic change. So every election cycle, we hear people clamoring for change and politicians offering the most drastic, immediate solutions possible. Here in Baton Rouge, we’re lucky to have a mayor who bucks the trend and has committed to programs that will bring us a better future. That is, if we can be bothered to keep him around. Kip Holden’s main opponent in this year’s race is Republican Mike Walker, the personification of right-wing reactionism. Holden summed up the race best in a recent candidates’ forum. “You have three choices in this race … neutral, reverse and drive. I’m drive.” Both Holden and Walker are campaigning on the basic issues of crime and education. Holden has worked hard for the last eight years to enact long-term programs to improve both, and Walker is running on the basis that Holden’s programs haven’t worked yet. The link between education and crime is well-documented, and it’s refreshing to see a
TIM MORGAN / The Daily Reveille
politician who understands and accepts a more modern approach to the issues at hand. Holden’s adoption of such progressive ideas has been recognized with awards from the Novogradac Community Development Foundation. Holden comes from a difficult upbringing and understands how the culture of crime affects people from a young age. He knows that eliminating such a well-entrenched problem means a lot of hard work over a long period of time — working to kill the problem at its source.
So what fresh new ideas does Mike Walker add to the conversation? He wants more cops. The centerpiece of Walker’s campaign is his so-called “Nine Steps to Safer Streets” plan to increase police presence in Baton Rouge. Some highlights of the plan include doubling the number of Street Operations units, inflating the narcotics division and immediately declaring a state of emergency. A level-headed and well-reasoned plan, no? Sure, arrest statistics under

Walker would be higher than under Holden. But history has shown time after time that increased police presence does nothing to stop gang activity. The only proven way to stop gang activity is to prevent children from being sucked into the gang lifestyle — something Walker either does not understand or is unwilling to do. No one contests that crime is a problem in Baton Rouge – the city is ranked in the ninety-seventh percentile of dangerous cities. But Walker’s plan of attack will do nothing to stop criminals in the long term. Walker’s ideas for helping Baton Rouge’s schools are equally as short-sighted. One of his ideas is based on Washington, D.C.’s public school system, which since 2007 has been under the control of a committee presided over by the mayor. His campaign has cited the model as “working really well” and “one out-of-the-box idea that could be considered.” It’s true that in D.C., proficiency scores on standardized tests rose by almost 50 percent since 2006. Unfortunately for Walker, it’s also true that several D.C. schools have since been investigated for cheating on standardized tests. With the fact that almost half of D.C. teachers have been deemed unqualified to teach, the system doesn’t seem to be “working really well.” Essentially, Holden is trying to vaccinate us against the city’s ailments. Walker just wants to keep us doped up so we don’t notice the symptoms.

Bill snaking through Congress is welfare for Republicans SCUM OF THE GIRTH PARKER CRAMER Chief Columnist What is the difference between bailing out American farmers and bailing out Wall Street? For that matter, what is the difference between giving struggling farmers money they didn’t earn versus giving that same money to urban minorities? Simple answer: urban minorities don’t vote Republican. The Farm Bill is currently snaking its way through Congress. If passed, it will provide nearly $1 trillion over the next decade in muchneeded assistance for American farmers and their families who have been struggling to make ends meet this year, according to The New York Times.
Yes, that’s not a typo, one trillion dollars. Excessive drought has plagued a vast quantity of agricultural land in the central U.S., prompting the government to act accordingly. I have no problem with this. These farmers and their families need help. No rain means no crops, which means no money. Why is this bill so much less controversial than, say, the Wall Street bailout or Obamacare? The Farm Bill passed in the with bipartisan support, a term nobody in Washington has used in the past two years. But isn’t it just a bailout, a system of welfare or even, dare I say it, socialist intervention in the economy? If you chose all of the above, congratulations, you can read between the lines. The Farm Bill is a form of welfare. It’s a social safety net designed to make sure American farmers can
still afford to live and provide for their families this year. This bill has received bipartisan support because the Democrats know it has to happen, and the Republicans want to bail out their own constituents. Giving taxpayer money to people who vote Republican and withholding it from Democratic strongholds is still welfare, it’s just hypocritical welfare. Damn near the entire midwest is predicted to be comprised of red states this coming election, save Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The lesson we have to take from the Farm Bill is that Republicans aren’t against welfare, they are only against giving it to people who don’t vote for them. House Republican leaders stated that they will not vote on the Farm Bill until after the November elections, according to CNN,
further delaying the much needed assistance. The federal government’s total welfare spending for the 2012 fiscal year amounts to $451.9 billion. This includes housing, unemployment, food stamps, worker’s compensation and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). For those who can’t subtract, that’s more than $500 billion less than the proposed Farm Bill total. The federal government spent a total of $668 billion on “anti-poverty programs” this year, according to Fox News. Yeah, that’s right, I sourced Fox News — just so the Republicans know these are their numbers. It’s up to the reader to speculate on what exactly is included in a lump sum number of “antipoverty program” spending, but I imagine it includes all of the $451.9 billion in welfare spending, plus healthcare costs.
I don’t know who’s doing the math, but if Republicans are complaining about $668 billion spent on the poor, why would they go along with $1 trillion? Any way you look at it, the Farm Bill is an enormous sum of cash. It’s necessary, but so are other welfare programs designed to help non-rural and non-Republican voters. The Farm Bill, along with other welfare programs such as TANF and Medicaid, is a necessary social safety net to ensure large chunks of our economy don’t plummet into oblivion. Recognize this bill for what it is — a bailout. Parker Cramer is a 21-year-old political science senior from Houston. Contact Parker Cramer at pcramer@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @TDR_pcramer
Fed’s new efforts to stimulate economy, job market SHARE THE WEALTH JAY MEYERS Columnist With further evidence of an impending economic downturn and the fate of millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans hanging in the balance, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke declared last week that the central bank would take forceful policy action in an effort to stimulate the economy. While Bernanke had been hinting that he would take further steps to aid the economy, the Fed’s announcement of a third round of quantitative easing is welcome, but long overdue. The need for stimulus reflects the poor state of the U.S. economy. Continued stagnant economic growth coupled with a persistently high unemployment rate indicates a clear case for monetary expansion. Some background: The Fed is the central banking system in the United States, and was installed in 1913 to ensure a safer, more flexible and more stable monetary and financial system. It normally takes primary responsibility for short-term economic management by influencing the direction of interest rates in order to control the money supply. The conventional tool the Fed uses for controlling the amount of money in our economy is the buying and selling of government securities, such as treasury bills, in its open market operations. When the economy is running too slow, the Fed purchases government securities, expanding the money supply. These purchases lower interest rates, which spur
economic development and create the risk for inflation. Consequently, when the economy is running too fast, the Fed sells government securities, decreasing the money supply. This action increases the interest rate, which slows economic growth and curbs the risk of inflation. A continued policy of Fed purchases that result in low interest rates is exactly what we need to combat the tepid growth our economy is currently facing. However, due to the magnitude of the financial crisis that has weakened our economy so severely, the Fed has been forced to implement a more aggressive monetary policy since 2008. The policy is buying longer-term assets through what’s known as “quantitative easing.” The goal behind these purchases is to drive down the cost of borrowing and encourage economic growth. It’s simple econ 101: Firms are more likely to purchase equipment and hire workers when they can do so cheaply. And during last week’s Fed announcement, Bernanke pledged the latest round of quantitative easing, saying the Fed intends to purchase $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities a month, and potentially other assets, until there is significant improvement in the labor market. But what is likely to be the most impacting portion of the Fed’s stimulus comes from a radical shift in policy. The Fed is trying to bolster confidence that it won’t withdraw support at the first sign of good news. In its statement, the central bank announced that “a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens.”
J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE / The Associated Press
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke makes his way past reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday after meeting privately with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., and members of the committee about the looming economic crisis, often called the “fiscal cliff.”
The idea is that the Fed can encourage more private sector spending right away by promising to maintain an expansionary monetary policy well into the recovery, instead of prematurely raising rates when conditions slightly improve. Quantitative easing will encourage potential home buyers with the prospect of moderately higher inflation, which will make their debts easier to repay. Businesses will be encouraged by the probability of higher future sales, which gives them confidence to invest and hire more workers. The value of stocks will rise, increasing
wealth, and the value of the dollar will fall, boosting U.S. exports. This new kind of policy movement is exactly what the Fed needs to pursue in order to address unemployment and growth issues, enabling the U.S. to walk down a path toward a sustainable recovery. It’s important to note that the Fed’s aggressive policies are not the ultimate solution to our economic woes. The goal of the policies is to accelerate the recovery, and allow for the economy to grow quickly enough to generate jobs. Last week we learned that the Fed has correctly re-placed its
emphasis on jobs and is willing to take as much action as needed until a noticeably positive effect is made in employment and growth. It’s great the Fed has finally gained some conviction because its economic leadership is crucial to the future of the U.S. Jay Meyers is a 19-year-old economics sophomore from Shreveport.

long-standing troubles in JordanHare Stadium. Continuing the misery will take a Herculean effort, according to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. “There’s no weak links to their team — offensively, defensively or special teams,” Chizik said in the SEC Coaches teleconference. “For us to be successful Saturday night, we’ll have to play tremendous on both sides of the ball.” Chizik added that his “inconsistent” offensive line could get a boost from a former LSU commitment, 6-foot-7 freshman Patrick Miller. Miller and the rest of Chizik’s offensive line will have their hands full contending with the premier front four of the SEC, highlighted by junior defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and
CAMPUS, from page 1
photo courtesy of LSU UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
An aerial view of the LSU campus in 1925. The campus, which celebrates its anniversary Sunday, moved to its current location in 1925.
After 2,000 acres of land came up for sale in 1918, Thomas Boyd and Thomas Atkinson began scheming, according to University Archivist Barry Cowan. “They came up with an option,” Cowan said. “They would pay a small portion of the cost of the land, similar to a down payment. The state came up with the rest.” The total cost of the land amounted to $82,000 at the time, Cowan said. Adjusted for inflation, the cost equals $1,079,490 today. Buying it was just the beginning. Once the University purchased the land, it hired the Olmstead bothers to complete the design. The Dairy Barn — now called the Reilly Theater — was the first building on campus, wrapping up construction in 1922. As the University took shape, architects carefully considered each building’s purpose. In architect Theodore Link’s general plan, he proposed creating several quadrangles, each based on a theme. Link created a North Quadrangle, centered around the fine arts. The quadrangle consisted of Peabody Hall, Foster Hall and Hill Memorial Library. The South Quadrangle was also known as the Engineering Quadrangle. Buildings in this quadrangle included Prescott, Stubbs and Audubon Halls, among others. With buildings popping up around campus, a cross formed in the middle. Because Middleton Library wasn’t built until the 1950s, the University’s original buildings
created a cruciform instead of many different squares. Approximately 4,000 students inhabited the University’s campus shortly after enrollment began. All students under 21 were required to live on campus. Female students lived in the downtown Pentagon Barracks and were bussed to campus. A small neighborhood near campus also provided shelter for those affiliated with the University, according to Cadzow. “Students or Faculty who worked at the University just walked to campus from the North Gates or State Street area,” he explained. “It really began to develop into its own little city. The downtown area was the only real part of Baton Rouge; LSU was really all by itself.” Because the University land was previously a plantation, there were no stately oaks or broad magnolias populating the campus. Not only did the landscape look different, but the demographics of the student population were also vastly different. This semester, the proportion of male to female students is nearly equal, according to the Office of Budget and Planning. In 1925, few females attended college, Cowan said. “Just as an example, there were 32 men in the law school,” Cowan said. “There were only two women.”

The Daily Reveille Sam Montgomery. Chizik also lauded junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger, calling him “efficient” and praising his pocket presence. “He’s a big ol’ guy that can stand up in there and see the field,” Chizik said. “He makes very accurate throws.” In his first road start, Mettenberger will be without starting running back Alfred Blue, sidelined for the foreseeable future with an injury to what Miles called a “lower extremity.” Junior Spencer Ware and sophomore Kenny Hilliard are presumed to shoulder the load in the backfield, with junior Michael Ford and redshirt freshman Jeremy Hill chipping in with fresh legs. Blue’s injury and Mettenberger’s road inexperience don’t worry Miles, who said his team’s
page 11 “strong personality” will carry it through its first road test. “I think road games are kind of an extension of the personality of the team,” Miles said. “It’s the same 100 yards, just a different stadium.” Away from the friendly confines of Tiger Stadium, sophomore defensive tackle Anthony Johnson said the Bayou Bengals are focused on simply playing “LSU football,” wherever the road takes them. As for Saturday’s game, Johnson had a favorable premonition. “I think this team is going to come out and play a hell of a game Saturday,” Johnson said.

KEYS TO THE GAME: Take the Jordan-Hare crowd out of the game. In his first road game as a starter, LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger has to keep his poise. Make sure Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier doesn’t have a big game. LSU running backs Kenny Hilliard and Spencer Ware need to make up for Alfred Blue’s absence. Contain Auburn running back Onterio McCalebb.
