Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins said Friday he has seen no formal charges or complaints from the American Association of University Professors, which plans to write a formal complaint regarding a lack of faculty involvement in the system reorganization. He said the AAUP has not yet contacted the University. “I don’t know what their charges are. That’s very hard for me to comment on,” Jenkins said. “When, in due course, that transpires, we will respond to the charges and possibly having a meeting with them.” He said the concerns about the lack of faculty involvement in the restructuring process were “premature.” “We’ve only just started assembling the subcommittees, where the faculty, students, staff and others will be intimately involved,” Jenkins said. He said the decision to merge the president and chancellor positions was a Board of Supervisors decision, of which he had no part. The Daily Reveille’s attempts to contact Board of Supervisors Chairman Hank Danos received no response. University Vice Chancellor for Communications Herb Vincent said reorganization would not change faculty involvement. “Faculty has always participated in shared governance at LSU, and there is no reason to believe that will change with any reorganization,” Vincent said. “Faculty will still have the same participation in admission, matriculation, articulation, curriculum and promotion.” Contact McKenzie Womack at mwomack@lsureveille.com

Second term: Obama says now is the time to act The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to act with “passion and dedication” to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and combat global warming for generations to come as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall. “America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands,” the 44th president declared in a second inaugural address that broke new ground by assigning gay rights a prominent place in the wider struggle for equality for all. In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at large, he called for “collective action” to confront challenges and said, “Progress does not compel us to settle centurieslong debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time.” Elected four years ago as

connection between LSU and the community,” Smith said. Smith said he talked to community leaders to find out the needs of the area and they said servicing schools was at the top of the list. Service to schools is a strong representation of King’s legacy to social justice, according to Smith. “Education is a civil right of the 21st century,” Smith said. “What better way to serve than start at a school?” Service projects also happened within the University. Fresh Cuts Clean Health, a Community University Partnership barbershop, set up a booth inside the Office of Multicultural Affairs to provide a free health screening to minority males. Chairwoman for the 2013 MLK Commemorative Committee Carlissa Wells said the health screening promotes the importance of health management and continues King’s legacy to ensure the community has healthy and strong minority males. The University has been holding an MLK day of service for more than a decade. Projects
have ranged from cleaning up churches to planting community gardens. Graduate student Ray James said he’s been participating in the day of service since his time as an undergraduate student. “Service means everything. King gave so much. We should take the time and show appreciation,” James said. “Service shouldn’t be just on Martin Luther King Day; it should be every day to fulfill his legacy.”

Community Affairs Liaison Brandon Smith, who facilitates campus and community collaboration between the University and the Baton Rouge community, said servicing the Old South Baton Rouge Community is important because it neighbors the University. “It is important to see the

LSU’s Anthony Hickey leads nation in steals Chandler Rome Sports Writer
Whether it’s an opponent’s errant pass, lazy ball-handling or a straight pickpocket, LSU sophomore guard Anthony Hickey always seems to come away with the basketball
– sometimes so quickly his teammates don’t catch it. “Most of his steals, I don’t see him,” said junior guard Andre Stringer. “I just turn around and see him laying the ball in.” On a team that tops the Southeastern Conference with 10.4 steals per contest, the Hopkinsville, Ky., native leads the nation with 3.5 steals per game, fresh off a five-swipe performance in a loss at Georgia. The 5-foot-11 spitfire channels his Christian County High School football days, where
he terrorized opposing quarterbacks in the secondary. “I read his eyes,” Hickey said. “I try to think [my opponent] will look me off. I try to make like I’ll go one way and go another way [like a quarterback]. ... As a defensive back, you have to backpedal and shift and change directions.” Hickey, also a former quarterback, attributed his anticipation for steals to both his speed HICKEY, see page 7
10. You can still get drunk Just because Ludacris won’t be making an appearance on Bourbon Street doesn’t mean you can’t act a fool. Two teams playing in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome not named the Saints might even give you a more of a reason to. Drowning your sorrows in Hand Grenades and Huge Ass Beers is totally understandable. Maybe Saints fans will get drunk enough to forget the 2012 NFL season even happened. 9.

Ray Lewis is an all-time great linebacker who returned from a torn tricep injury to lead the Baltimore Ravens to Super Bowl XLVII. To add to the drama, Lewis announced he will retire after this season, making the Super Bowl the last game of his Hall of Famebound career. Pretty compelling stuff. No one would argue that his comeback from injury to team leader isn’t a tremendous story. The problem is it’s not acceptable to gloss over some of the facts just to make a great story a little bit better. Lewis played a role in the deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar at a Super Bowl XXXIV party in 2000 in Atlanta. After initially lying to police, Lewis cooperated, pleaded the case out to an obstruction of justice charge and was sentenced to 12 months probation. Lewis is an amazing linebacker, but to portray him as a legendary role model is disingenuous. The murder charge doesn’t have to be constantly held over his head, but the fact that it has been treated like a taboo subject by the national media is a problem. If the death of a fictional girlfriend can dominate a news cycle for two days, two actual dead people should be able to get at least a mention as a panel of analysts are gushing over the guy who may have killed them. He paid his debt to society — that isn’t the point here. I’m just asking how many times we have to hear Phil Simms and Jim Nantz gush about Lewis’ leadership.
of the two needs to stop. If it doesn’t, our credibility as a sports media will end up in a landfill somewhere with Ray Lewis’ white suit.

JAMES MORAN Sports Contributor
How many Ray Lewis montages is too many for one episode of “Sunday NFL Countdown”? Do we need to see Lewis’ pre-game dance for a fourth time in the first quarter? Lewis’ past troubles might make his ride into the sunset less of a feel-good story, but that does not mean it can be swept under the rug. Even a statement as broad as “Lewis has repaired his image after a troubled past” would suffice, but in three-and-a-half hours of the AFC Championship game on Sunday, there was not a word on the subject. The underlying problem here is that the line between the media and the subjects they cover is being blurred because national media outlets like ESPN are hiring current and ex-players and coaches to be analysts for them or to appear in their commercials. This convergence leads to conflicts of interest, and journalistic standards suffer in the process. It’s pretty likely Lewis will quickly get a TV job before next season. For that reason, national media outlets that bring up his troubled past could be damaging the reputation of a future colleague and therefore would be damaging the outlet itself. For example, in 2009 Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault in a civil suit. ESPN refused to cover the story, claiming it was a private matter because it was a civil suit. Is it a coincidence that ESPN had been airing a “This is Sportscenter” commercial featuring Roethlisberger since 2005? Also, the words “private matter” are ironic coming from a network that considers Rex Ryan’s tattoo and Mark Sanchez’s girlfriend situation to be newsworthy stories. The athlete’s job is to play, and the media’s job is to report what happened. The blending

and the schemes he learned to read under center, transferring his gridiron knowledge to the hardwood. “It’s helped me so much in basketball,” Hickey said. “I try to use everything I’ve learned into the past and bring it to now.” Hickey’s propensity to pilfer carries over to the practice floor, where he makes Stringer and freshman guard Malik Morgan’s ball-handling stout and forces them to be wary about making a lazy pass. Morgan, third on the team with 24 steals this season, said while he can’t match Hickey’s quickness, the experience he gains in practice speaks volumes. “When the ball is flying, he just knows to go get it before the other man,” Morgan said. “[In practice] it’s something we need. Somebody that’s going to get at it defensively and make us improve.” Stringer echoed his teammate, who said both he and Morgan get hands on the ball, but can’t grasp it and take it away like Hickey. As a whole, LSU leads the conference in steals per game by almost a full swipe, something Stringer attributed to both practicing against Hickey and the size disparity the Tigers face. “We try to get back tips on guys dribbling down, trying to help out our bigs when they’re being backed down,” Stringer said. “We’re a crafty team because we’re so small.” Some players leading the NCAA in different categories may be candid about their accomplishments, while some don’t even realize they’re atop a leaderboard.

confirmed he’s aware of his place among the nation’s elite. “It’s a blessing,” Hickey said. “I love that I’m doing that, but I’d love it more if we were winning games. I’m not worried about an individual award; I’m worried about winning a championship with my team.” Still, Morgan, in a bit of friendly competition, assured he’s more than capable of a takeaway or two when Hickey isn’t around. “Sometimes I even get my hands on a couple of ’em,” Morgan said.

8. Two unsuspecting starting QBs What if I told you that two quarterbacks who played collegiately at Nevada and Delaware took their teams to Super Bowl XLVII? No, it’s not an ESPN 30 for 30 intro yet. This is real life. 49ers signal caller Colin Kaepernick wasn’t even starting when the season began before breaking out against Chicago on Nov. 19, and all Ravens gunslinger Joe Flacco has heard the past few seasons is how he’s holding Baltimore back from another Super Bowl title. Welp, one of them has to win. 7. Introduce Baltimore and San Francisco to the South According to Southerners, Yankees don’t know how to party. Well, now is your chance to show the sheltered fans from Baltimore and San Francisco how to throw down. But you’re going to have to ease them into it. You don’t want to be babysitting a passed out Northerner all week. 6. Chance to make it 12-straight for LSU I’m not even mad that Patriots running back Stevan Ridley won’t get his chance to become the 12thstraight LSU Tiger on a Super Bowl winning roster. I’m actually impressed he’s still alive after suffering a brutal hit from Ravens defensive back Bernard Pollard that knocked him out of the AFC Championship. Oh, and LSU can still continue its impressive streak if former Tiger

He could win his second Super Bowl and break into quoting any Bible verse that comes to mind, or the Ravens lose and Ray goes on a rampage in downtown New Orleans. I’d probably keep your family indoors either way. 3. Brothers coaching against each other. Of course the reason it’s being called the Harbaugh Bowl is because, um, Jim and John Harbaugh’s teams are facing off on the biggest stage in American sports. It’s a storyline that won’t get old because brothers coaching against each other in the Super Bowl hasn’t happened before and odds are it won’t happen again. Enjoy it. 2.

But when female rappers get into beef with one another, there’s a different undertone. The first Twitter beef of 2013 was, coincidentally, between lady MCs Azealia Banks and Raykeea “Angel Haze” Wilson. Twitter being the new frontier of beef, the feud has gotten a lot of coverage in celebrity news. It sparked Jan. 3 over Banks’ tweet challenging anyone who claimed to be a New Yorker without having been born and raised there. Detroit native Haze, who just released the music video for her single “New York,” took offense. Celebrity gossip guru Perez Hilton weighed in, siding with Haze and being predictably RAPPER, see page 11

patronizing and superior. He implies in his replies to Banks’ tweets, in which she turned her spite toward the celeb blogger, that she should behave better. I’m not saying either rapper is innocent in this, but let me point out that Banks never mentioned Haze in her original tweet. Haze chose to react as though she had been mentioned, and that kicked off the deluge of insults more than anything. But a rapper itching for a fight and finding one is not the problem. The problem is that Hilton paints Haze as a young lady poised beneath a parasol, defending her slighted reputation from a wild, unsociable heathen. Since when are rappers beseeched to be gentlemen in their disagreements? Banks has no obligation to be lady-like, and neither does Haze. The conflict between hip-hop phenomenon and relative newcomer Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey has been stewing for quite a while, but it took this year’s premiere of the 12th season of “American Idol,” on which Minaj and Carey carry on their feud as fellow judges, to pump things up. Carey is guilty of the same crime as Hilton, implying that Minaj is garish and unworthy of

comparison to a diva like herself. There’s this air of superiority about her, again inviting the term “ladylike” into the fray. The so-called winner of these spats shouldn’t be determined by the perceived femininity of the contenders. It might not be prudent or make much sense half of the time, but the rap game thrives on beef. It keeps things interesting. And to exclude women, to demand that female rappers behave well and keep their noses clean, is ludicrous.
I have no problem with rappers or other female artists considering themselves lady-like, but beef does not call for subtlety. Demanding that a woman tone herself down when involved in this time-honored tradition is demeaning. Samantha Bares is a 19-year-old English sophomore from Erath, La.

57th presidential inauguration leaves us feeling hopeful DEAR AGGI Aggi Ashagre Entertainment Blogger WASHINGTON, D.C. — It’s 5 a.m. on Monday morning in Washington D.C. Despite the 30 degree weather, hundreds of people have already begun lining up on more than 10 streets, which have been shut down and converted to security checkpoints. After a ride on the subway— the only public transportation running through the city—and a two-hour wait in the security line, these people take their places on the National Mall to witness history. History in the form of President Barack Obama, the first African-American president, being sworn in to his second term alongside Vice President Joe Biden. In this technological age, it’s not often one has the opportunity to witness historic events in person. Live-streams and live-tweeters have replaced the excitement of going out and actually being a part of history as it takes place. I, for one, could not let this particular opportunity pass me by. In the hours leading up to the inaugural ceremony, hundreds of thousands of people painted a beautiful portrait of the individuals who make up our great nation. Complete strangers high-fiving each other, random shouts of joy, young children dancing while waving the American flag, gay and interracial couples proudly showcasing their love while walking hand-in-hand. The playful atmosphere was reminiscent of a music festival, not a ceremonial event such as a presidential inauguration. There was no shame, no judgment and no political agendas. Simply a celebration of our president, our freedoms and our country. Adding to the excitement was the weight of how truly historic this particular inauguration was.

SAUL LOEB / The Associated Press
President Barack Obama takes the oath of office Monday at the ceremonial swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol during the 57th presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C.
When Obama took the stage to recite the Oath of Office, he placed his left hand on top of former President Abraham Lincoln’s Bible, the same Bible he used in his first inaugural ceremony in 2009. However, this time around, the Bible of civil-rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr., was placed underneath the Lincoln bible. During the 30 seconds it took Obama to recite the oath, more than 200 years of history came full circle. From Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation 149 years ago, freeing more than 3 million slaves, to Martin Luther
King Jr., who fought to ensure people would “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Fast forward to the chilly morning of Jan. 21, 2013 on the steps of the Capitol Building, where the first African-American President of the United States was sworn in to his second term. Carrying the torch of fighting for civil rights, Obama had hopeful words for both women’s rights and LGBT activists in his inaugural speech, saying, “... It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete
until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” After Obama’s moving speech and electrifying performances by stars like James Taylor, Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson, the thousands of American citizens in attendance were left feeling hopeful. Hopeful that the four years that precede us will be the foundation for generations of progress to come.

Should Roe v. Wade be debated 40 years later? Yes. The 1973 Supreme Court didn’t know when life began. No. The ruling on the case has already been decided. RUN TO THE MILLS LANDON MILLS Columnist
summarizes the pro-choice community and its twisted idea of what human equality actually is. The most common response to the issue of abortion is that “it is just a complicated issue.” In reality, it is not. We have already discovered the differences shared between the fetus and those born are the same differences we all share in relation to one another. Using this reason, you can successfully debate against elective abortion. There is an exception — Ectopic pregnancy, which is when the pregnancy poses a threat to the mother’s life because the fetus implants itself somewhere other than the uterus, usually on the inner wall of the fallopian tube. Here the greatest moral good can be accomplished by terminating the pregnancy. The intent is to save the life of the mother, not solely to kill the child. The alternative is the death of two individuals because modern medical technology cannot save the fetus. There are few cases like this. Overall, legalized abortion presents a serious problem. It is void of reason and ignores basic embryology. It operates under assumptions instead of facts. It is inconsistent and fickle in its platform. Finally, it is a violent and barbaric act based on a Supreme Court ruling where the nine justices confessed they could not determine when human life begins. But now, we know. In the future, we will either look back on our past stance on abortion in shame, or we will have severed our moral conscience to the point of no return.
SHUT UP, MEG MEGAN DUNBAR Columnist
assumption here that the vast majority of women planning on having an abortion are not swayed by marches for life or other protests. You’ve already weighed your options. Let’s say you’re a rape survivor. You go to Baton Rouge’s Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response Center for assistance. Executive Director Racheal Hebert said the center stresses choice. No one will force an abortion on you. There isn’t someone standing at the door handing out pamphlets on how to best kill this growing fetus. In fact, the center won’t dole out information unless asked, Hebert said. Hebert said the center does not take a stance, but would help a woman find someone who could give her the necessary information. What I’m arguing here is not that every woman should have an abortion, or that it should be the first thought when considering what to do with one’s inner cell union. Condoms and birth control don’t always work, and no matter what, people will have sex. The choice of abortion should be legal, available and safe. We do not live in the Middle Ages. Our technology has advanced beyond the discovery of the plow. One of the main problems, and a reason women cite when choosing abortion, is that our views on womanhood have not evolved along with farming implements. A Guttmacher study asking women for their reasons for obtaining abortions show a quarter of women responded they “did not want people to know I had sex or got pregnant.” Scarlet letter, much? We haven’t moved past our far right deeply Christian roots. Don’t worry, you’re keeping that alive and kicking. Maybe if society could move past the stigma of a single-parent home, or beyond the slut-shaming so prevalent in modern society, abortion rates could diminish. Otherwise, outlawing the procedure won’t do anything but force women to have unsafe abortions. Legality is our only option. It’s a decision that can’t be made under a nationwide umbrella. Each woman needs to make it for herself. Will some regret it? Yes. Will it increase the quality of life for others, and potentially make them better future parents? Again, the answer is yes. The nation needs to move past this issue. It has been decided, and as valuable as the forums of democracy are, we have more timely fish to fry. Equal marriage rights, anyone? Actual discussion of drones? Our constantly failing budget? Hell, how about what’s going on in Mali right now? Or Syria? Put it to rest, gentlemen.

Use any scenario you would like, stick to the definition of the unborn as a human person, and you have no more support to kill a fetus than you do an infant or small child.

political science senior. She said the court case has greater implications on how society views women. “It’s a reminder for me and women everywhere, that we are equals and we should be treated as equals, not based upon your sex,” Butkus said. Mass communication freshman and Students for Life member David Scotton’s life was saved from abortion and is currently working with Louisiana Right to Life to produce a documentary telling his story and meeting his birth parents for the first time. “My birth mother was in the clinic and pro-lifers convinced her to save me,” Scotton said. He has also made the trek to Washington and said he was inspired by the number of youth in attendance. “It’s reassuring to see this generation so confident working together to end abortion. At some point, you start to doubt yourself, and you go to the march and you see all these people. It builds your confidence, and it’s a really great feeling,” Scotton said. The march is not only a call to lawmakers for more anti-abortion legislation, but also a tribute to the 55 million lives lost to abortion, Pergola said. “It’s a time when you remember the lives lost — 55 million since Roe v. Wade. That is the content, focus, reminder and passion to what we do,” Scotton said. Jeanne Monahan, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, wrote in a news release, “The March for Life is a demonstration of unity that we need to continue the fight to win over the hearts and minds of all Americans.” Pergola said she is looking forward to the aftermath of the march. “I want to see if our government hears our voice — to know what our senators and representatives are doing to truly represent our cause,” Pergola said. The cause is particularly represented in Louisiana. Louisiana is the most prolife state in the country, according to the report “Defending Life: A State-by-State Legal Guide to Abortion, Bioethics and the End of Life” by Americans United for Life. Even though Roe v. Wade has not been overturned, Pergola and Scotton both said there have been some gains in pro-life legislation, such as the Heartbeat Bill and an abortion ban after 20 weeks. “I know it’s going to take a long time. And some may say it’s minimal, but it’s some gain. With these minimal gains, we will end abortion,” Scotton said. Elaine Maccio, associate professor of social work and women’s and gender studies, said in an email the anniversary is about reflection and progress. “This is about reminding us of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come and why we don’t want to go back,” Maccio said. Maccio called any
potential interference in the physician-patient relationship “nothing more than an attempt at control.” The landmark court case has not only opened several doors for women, but has withstood both liberal and conservative eras, Butkus said. “Any attempt to interfere in
the physician-patient relationship is nothing more than attempt at control, plain and simple,” Maccio said. Butkus said she hopes this anniversary convinces people that the Supreme Court decision is permanent and neither the government nor other people should be able to dictate an
