President search funded with private foundation money Contract withheld, $120,000 fixed fee Alyson Gaharan Staff Writer

The LSU Foundation is paying for R. William Funk and Associates to conduct the search for a permanent LSU System president and chancellor, rendering the contract

LAWSUIT

More than $55,000 in fees misused Clayton Crockett News Editor

Charges of sexual harassment and unauthorized student fees filed against School of Art Director Rod Parker on Jan. 22 “amount to stealing money from students,” according to a statement released to The Daily Reveille on Monday by Stephen Haedicke, lawyer of former faculty member Margaret Herster.

Herster is suing the Board of Supervisors, Parker and others. Her claim includes the collection of fees unauthorized by the Board of Supervisors, the use thereof for “personal or positional benefit of [Parker] and certain faculty members,” the denial of fair pay to Herster because she is a woman and her firing for uncovering the illegal conduct.

Parker did not return phone calls Monday night.

Along with Parker, defendants in the case alleging the knowledge of years of illegal fee collection include former Interim Dean of the School of Art Ken Carpenter and numerous workers in the University’s Human Resources Management office.

According to an audit released Jan. 10, the collection of unapproved fees began in 2010

and its financing unavailable to the public.

The only information the foundation provided is a contract summary, which outlines the parties, compensation and scope of the firm’s work.

INTERNATIONAL Egyptians break curfew in protest of President Mohammed Morsi CAIRO (AP) — Protesters battled police for hours in Cairo on Monday and thousands marched through Egypt’s three Suez Canal cities in direct defiance of a nighttime curfew and state of emergency, handing a blow to the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi’s attempts to contain five days of spiraling political violence.

Nearly 60 people have been killed in the wave of unrest, clashes, rioting and protests that have touched cities across the country, but have hit the hardest in the canal cities.

Human rights advocates have said that the prosecution of Jose Efrain Rios Montt would be an important symbolic victory for the victims of one of the most horrific of the conflicts that devastated Central America during the last decades of the Cold War.

Newtown shooting victims’ parents urge enforcement of gun laws

Super PAC could help Sen. David Vitter in potential gubernatorial bid

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Parents of children killed in the Newtown school shooting called for better enforcement of gun laws and tougher penalties for violators Monday at a hearing that revealed the divide in the gun-control debate, with advocates for gun rights shouting at the father of one 6-year-old victim.

Neil Heslin, whose son Jesse was killed in last month’s massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, asked people in the room to put themselves in his position as he questioned the need for any civilian to own semiautomatic, military-style weapons.

U.S. soldier who lost four limbs in Iraq War has double-arm transplant

(AP) — A Washington fundraising heavyweight set up federal and state super PACs on Monday to support U.S. Sen. David Vitter, a move that heightens speculation that Vitter is eyeing a bid for governor.

Charlie Spies told The Associated Press that Vitter supporters filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and the state ethics office creating The Fund for Louisiana’s Future, a pro-Vitter political action committee.

“The purpose of the super PAC is to support Sen. David Vitter and his conservative agenda for Louisiana,” said Spies.

(AP) — Brendan Marrocco was the first soldier to survive losing all four limbs in the Iraq War, and doctors revealed Monday that he’s received a double-arm transplant.

Marrocco, a 26-year-old New Yorker, was injured by a roadside bomb in 2009. He had the transplant Dec. 18 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, his father said Monday.

Alex Marrocco said his son does not want to talk with reporters until a news conference Tuesday at the hospital, but the younger Marrocco has repeatedly mentioned the transplant on Twitter.

Texas woman’s execution for 1997 killing to be first in U.S. since 2010

Jindal administration health care budget cuts to begin this week

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Texas woman convicted of the gruesome slaying and robbery of her neighbor, a retired 71-yearold college psychology professor, is set to be the first woman put to death in the United States since 2010.

A Dallas County jury already found former nursing home therapist Kimberly McCarthy guilty of the 1997 killing when evidence at the punishment phase of her trial tied her to two similar murders a decade earlier.

(AP) — The state’s Medicaid hospice care received a last-minute reprieve, but Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration is moving ahead with other health care cuts this week.

Slated for elimination are programs providing behavioral health intervention for at-risk children and paying for at-home visits by nurses who teach low-income, first-time mothers how to care for newborns.

The Medicaid program will no longer cover physical and speech therapy rehabilitation in nursing homes.

SUBCOMMITTEE STUDENTS

SPOTLIGHT

A THREE-PART SERIES

Selected students offer input McKenzie Womack Staff Writer

As the LSU System prepares to undertake its largest reorganization in decades, students selected to weigh in on the process express eagerness to participate in the monumental shift.

Students selected to serve on the Transition Advisory Team’s academic and finance and revenue subcommittees range from Ph.D. candidates to members of the Greek community, and each student will help his or her assigned subcommittee advise the board at large.

The Transition Advisory Team consists of 10 people and five subcommittees tasked with studying the LSU System reorganization. They will report to the LSU Board of Supervisors with their recommendations.

“It’s important for the community to make sure we’re looking for other ways to raise funds for the University,” said microbiology junior Charles Lewis. “I want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to maintain the academic integrity of the University.”

Lewis, a member of LSU Ambassadors and Fiji fraternity, will serve on the academic subcommittee.

Thomas Rodgers, mass communication senior and Student Government’s director of academic affairs, said he can provide the perspective of a Baton Rouge local to the academic subcommittee.

“I can bring the knowledge of what the students in Baton Rouge want to see in the academic policymaking,” Rodgers said.

Greg Upton, Ph.D. candidate and graduate student on the finance and revenue subcommittee, said he hopes everyone in the subcommittees keeps an open mind.

“I hope that people don’t have preconceived ideas when they come into the process about what they want or what they don’t want,” Upton said. “I hope that the faculty and students can come together, and we can take the two different perspectives and work together.”

Lewis said it was important to him that resources stay with the flagship university.

“I don’t want to divert resources that could stay here locally,” Lewis said. “I just want to make sure that LSU Baton Rouge’s position as the flagship institution is protected.”

Baton Rouge native directs first feature film Luke Jones Contributing Writer

With the help of a “film-friendly” state and its tax incentives, local film producer and director Richie Adams’ first feature film “Inventing Adam,” shot entirely in Louisiana, premiered Monday at the Grand Cinema and will run through Wednesday.

“Inventing Adam” is a romantic comedy that features actors such as Josh Meyers, Claire Coffee and Ray Wise.

Adams, 37, is not only the founder of River Road Creative, a boutique live-action studio for the film and television industry, but he is also pursuing a career as a film director.

A Baton Rouge native, Adams attended Catholic High School before spending a year at the University of Alabama and one semester at LSU before graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1998 with a degree in journalism.

The characters and scenery are all based on real people and places Adams experienced growing up in Baton Rouge, including attending the University. Although most of the film was shot in St. Francisville, there are several iconic Baton Rouge locations featured, including the Raising Cane’s on Highland Road and Fred’s in Tigerland.

“I started off in the advertising industry,” Adams said. “One day, I was working for a company in

San Francisco, and I saw someone animating a logo on their computer.

The proverbial lightbulb went off in my head, and I realized that I wanted to do that but for film.”

Film and media arts senior Taylor Wilcox said Louisiana’s booming film industry can be attributed both to tax breaks and the state’s natural luster.

“The tax breaks that got all this started were helpful in this film boom, but by now, Hollywood and the independents working outside the system are beginning to realize the natural beauty of our state and character of our people are reason enough to bring us their projects,” Wilcox said.

Adams began to design title sequences for films and has worked on blockbusters such as “Water for Elephants,” “The Last Samurai” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” among many others over the past decade.

“I found that title sequences give the audience an idea of what the entire film is like,” Adams said.

“They can actually tell a story.”

As the Louisiana film industry continues to grow, Adams is confident about the future of films in the state.

“Louisiana is such a filmfriendly state,” Adams said. “We’re a force to be reckoned with.”

Adams also wrote the screenplay for his next feature film “Una Vida: A Fable of Music and the Mind,” which is set to begin production in New Orleans in May.

Richie Adams’ debut feature film “Inventing Adam” premiered Monday at the Grand Cinema. The film will be available for purchase at Walmart today.

Brent Caballero of Caballero Casting worked with Adams on “Inventing Adam.”

“It’s always good to come home and work with people you love,” Caballero said. “Making movies is a blessing here. …We typically have to move away to chase our dreams, and now it’s in our backyard.”

“Inventing Adam” will be available for purchase today at Walmart nationwide or at Walmart. com. Moviegoers at the premiere Monday said they enjoyed the

incorporation of Louisiana life as well as the film’s sense of humor.

“It’s funny but still reminds us not to give up on our dreams,” said Baton Rouge resident Bill Holt, who attended the premiere.

Jimmy Kosienski, who also saw the movie Monday night, said “Inventing Adam” captured the landmarks and culture of Louisiana.

ADMINISTRATION

New bill could raise tuition at University McKenzie Womack Staff Writer

Commissioner of Higher Education Jim Purcell’s suggestion to allow universities tuition control would mean students would pay tuition based on the cost of programs, said University Director of External Affairs Jason Droddy.

The proposal, which Purcell brought before the state legislature Jan. 22, would grant complete tuition control to universities in the state. Universities currently have limited control over tuition raises through the LA GRAD Act. Under the current system, higher education institutions can raise tuition if they meet benchmarks set by the LA GRAD Act. “Science and engineering programs are generally more expensive because of the cost of equipment and laboratories, so students in those majors would pay more,” Droddy said. “Second, students would have to pay for credit hours above 12, except for the Student Technology Fee, which is capped at 15 credit hours.”

Droddy said tuition is a more consistent means of planning the budget and making investments.

He said state budgets and

tuition can be used to combat instability.

“We haven’t seen the full proposal, so it’s a little premature to comment,” said Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins.

Two-thirds of the legislature must vote in favor for Purcell’s proposal to pass, which Droddy said would be difficult.

In that case, it would be better for state funding to stay the same, allowing tuition raises to cover pay raises, mandated costs and quality enhancements, Droddy said.

The Replacements Washington embraces RECRUITING

Young Tigers to f ill void left by Gausman, Nola

switch to tight end

Chandler Rome Sports Writer

In the midst of an inconsistent Southeastern Conference stretch in 2009, Paul Mainieri etched his name in LSU baseball lore.

The third-year LSU coach inserted true freshman Austin Nola at shortstop while shifting D.J. LeMahieu to second base to shore up the middle of the infield and maximize double play potential.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The Tigers rolled to a College World Series championship with the sure-handed Nola snagging everything in sight while delivering his share of clutch hits as Mainieri’s move proved to be genius, and Nola’s career skyrocketed.

Now saddled with his first season sans Nola, Mainieri is turning to another true freshman, Alex Bregman, to fill the seemingly gigantic shoes Nola left behind.

Mainieri acknowledged he worries about Bregman succumbing to pressure to live up to Nola, who Mainieri has consistently called the best shortstop he’s ever coached, but chalked it up as just part of the game.

“If you go to a program that’s got great winning history and tradition, you’re going to be in the shadow of the great players who came before you,” Mainieri said. “You just accept it as part of it.”

Bregman, an Albuquerque, N.M., native, lauded Nola as a tremendous player and said he watched the shortstop a few times in college as he dazzled Tiger fans with backhand stabs and strong throws across the diamond.

The duo has even taken grounders together at practice, where Nola picked up where he left off — mentoring the youngster. “[Nola has] given me a few words of advice to stay positive throughout the year,” Bregman said.

“He’s told me to just relax and play my game, and everything good will happen.”

The transition from high school competition to the college game is a difficult one for any football recruit.

For Jacory Washington, that transition has a more challenging curve.

The Rivals four-star recruit and ESPN watchlist member began making the move from wide receiver to tight end toward the end of WASHINGTON his junior season, and now LSU is looking for him to man the position in a few years.

Washington, a class of 2014 recruit out of Westlake High School in Westlake, La., will be joining the Tigers in two years after committing to the program in January, but he’ll have some bulking up to do if he wants to live up to LSU’s expectations.

“The players [in the Southeastern Conference] are bigger, they’re faster and they’re stronger,” said Shawn Demeritt, Washington’s coach at Westlake. “There’s a learning curve for every kid. That’s just part of it. There’s going to be a little different curve for him because he’s traditionally played wideout, and he’s going to have to learn to block WASHINGTON, see page 8

Kaepernick’s poise outweighs lack of experience THE SMARTEST MORAN JAMES MORAN Sports Contributor

HECTOR AMEZCUA / The Associated Press

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick celebrates his touchdown Jan. 12 during a game against the Green Bay Packers in San Francisco.

Super Bowls are often decided by quarterback play, which is what makes Sunday’s matchup of 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco so fascinating.

Flacco definitely has the advantage in terms of experience.

He led the Ravens to the playoffs and won at least one postseason game in each of his five seasons. During those five postseasons, Flacco has collected eight playoff victories.

By comparison, Kaepernick has only started nine NFL games, including this postseason.

That being said, I still give

my edge to the 25-year-old firstyear starter.

Clearly, Kaepernick is something special. Only two other quarterbacks have gone to a Super Bowl with as few starts.

If this NFL season has proved anything, it’s that having an experienced quarterback is overrated.

An unprecedented three rookie quarterbacks led their teams to the playoffs. Add in the three second-year QBs to make it, and you see the learning curve for young quarterbacks is not as steep as it used to be.

The era of making young quarterbacks watch and learn from the bench for a season or two before getting to play is quickly ending.

Even in limited playing time, Kaepernick has already proven he has all the talent in the world.

He has a rocket for an arm

despite a baseball-throwing motion, has excellent touch and is as dangerous running in the open field as anyone in the league.

Despite all that ability, it is Kaepernick’s poise that makes him so special.

This is a quarterback who has made 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh look like a genius for gambling on a young, playmaking quarterback instead of sticking with veteran Alex Smith.

This is a quarterback who started only seven NFL games before starting his first postseason game — a four-touchdown performance in a 45-31 victory against Green Bay. This is a quarterback who did not flinch when his team was down 17-0 on the road in the NFC Championship game, but instead KAEPERNICK, see page 8

Pressey’s speed a concern for LSU Missouri junior guard Phil Pressey is one of the fastest players in the country, but LSU coach Johnny Jones said attempting to push his speed to force a mistake is a bad idea.

“You don’t want to speed him up,” Jones said. “The faster he goes, the better he gets. Phil is a very good, crafty guard.”

Pressey has totaled 136 assists through 19 games this season, putting him at eighth in the nation with 7.2 assists per game.

“You just have to contain him and keep him in front,” Jones said.

“The less people have to help out, in terms of rotating and trying to get to him, the better off you are. When he gets in the gap and somebody comes to help, he’s got teammates out there who are very capable of knocking down threes.”

Back in top form?

After struggling with a high ankle sprain for several weeks, LSU sophomore forward Johnny O’Bryant III has registered three straight double-doubles.

But O’Bryant chuckled at the thought of being back to 100 percent health.

“You’re never 100 percent,” O’Bryant said. “I’m just taping it up and just playing, not really thinking about it. It has been giving me a lot of trouble, but I’ve just been playing through it.”

O’Bryant scored 21 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in the Tigers’ 75-70 loss at Kentucky on Saturday.

Laurence Bowers is expected to return to action after missing five straight games with a sprained MCL in his right knee.

Woods wins at Torrey Pines Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

GAIL BURTON / The Associated Press

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco looks to pass Aug. 17, 2012, during a preseason game against the Detroit Lions in Baltimore. Flacco takes the field Sunday with the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.

Super Bowl missing big-name quarterbacks Barry Wilner The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — No Tom Brady. No Aaron Rodgers. No Ben Roethlisberger. Not a Manning in sight.

Super Bowl XLVII has a pair of fresh faces at quarterback, bona fide nobodies as far as the NFL title game goes. But one will leave New Orleans as football’s newest star.

For Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, this is new territory and, of course, exactly where they want to be.

Flacco, the only quarterback to win a playoff game in each of his first five NFL seasons, will lead the AFC champion Baltimore Ravens into Sunday’s matchup against the NFC-winning San Francisco 49ers and Kaepernick, a backup for most of his two seasons.

It’s the first time in more than a decade the big game doesn’t feature one of the big five household names in the glamour position.

You can’t get much fresher than quarterbacks who have never gotten this far before.

“At the start of the season, I was just hoping to get on the field some way, somehow,” said Kaepernick, the backup for Alex Smith, who took the 49ers to the conference final last season.

He got that chance after Smith sustained a concussion Nov. 11 and hasn’t seen the bench since.

Win this one and he’ll have a piece of history, joining a heady quarterback club that includes Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young, who guided the 49ers to five NFL titles — a victory every time they played. No. 6 would tie the team with Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers — a record for most Super Bowl wins.

A second-round draft pick in 2011 out of Nevada — not exactly Alabama — Kaepernick has the shortest pro résumé of any Super Bowl quarterback. It’s impressive, nonetheless. His legs (181 yards rushing against Green Bay, a record for the position) and his arm (105.9 passer rating in the postseason) are the main reasons San Francisco

page 7

is in its first NFL title game in 18 years.

“Anybody that is out there on the football field, you want to see them produce and get results,” left tackle Joe Staley said. “With Colin, his first couple of starts, you did not know what to expect because we had not seen him out there as a starting quarterback. He did amazing, and he has all season, as well as the playoffs. I think it was one of those things where we saw him in practice and we just wanted to see how he was going to handle the situation in the games. He has done that.”

Still, he’s new to this environment and that hardly seems to faze Kaepernick.

“One thing I’ve always said about him from the start is he comes off as a guy that has a lot of confidence,” said center Jonathan Goodwin, who won a Super Bowl snapping for Drew Brees and the Saints three years ago. “I’m not just saying that. You can feel it by the way he acts and talks.”

Flacco has that air of certainty, too, but at least it’s built on a more substantial foundation, including an 8-4 mark in the playoffs, with six road wins — the most for any quarterback, Montana and Young included. That goes for Baltimore’s John Unitas, too.

Nobody is comparing Flacco to them just yet, except for the selfbelief he brings to the job.

“There are a lot of different ways to lead, and the bottom line is it’s about motivating your players to get the best out of them and having belief that you can go do it in any situation,” Flacco said last week.

“You’ve got to do it your own way. And I think, naturally, as you get more comfortable with people and people understand you more, and you become more confident in them, and they become more confident in you, you become more vocal as time goes on.”

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods is a winner again at Torrey Pines, and the only question Monday was how long it would take him to finish.

Woods stretched his lead to eight shots in the Farmers Insurance Open before losing his focus and his patience during a painfully slow finish by the group ahead.

Despite dropping four shots over the last five holes, he still managed an even-par 72 for a fourshot victory on the course where he has won more than any other in his pro career.

He won the tournament for the seventh time, one behind the record held by Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. It was the eighth time Woods won at Torrey Pines, which includes his playoff win in the 2008 U.S Open.

This one was never close.

Woods built a six-shot lead with 11 holes to play when the final round of the fog-delayed tournament was suspended Sunday by darkness. He returned Monday — a late morning restart because CBS Sports wanted to show it in the afternoon on the East Coast — and looked stronger than ever until the tournament dragged to a conclusion.

Having to wait on every tee and from every fairway — or the rough, in his case — Woods made bogey from the bunker on the 14th, hooked a tee shot on the 15th that went off the trees and into a patch of ice plant and led to double bogey, and then popped up his tee shot on the 17th on his way to another bogey.

All that affected was the score.

It kept him from another big margin of victory, though the message was clear about his game long before that.

One week after he missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, he ruled at Torrey Pines.

It was his 75th career win, seven short of the Snead’s all-time tour record.

“It got a little ugly toward the end,” Woods said. “I started losing patience a little bit with the slow play. I lost my concentration a little bit.”

He rallied with a two-putt par on the 18th hole to win by four shots over defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Josh Teater, who had the best finish of his career.

Like so many of his big wins, the only drama was for second place.

Brad Fritsch, the rookie from Canada, birdied his last two holes for a 75. That put him into a tie for ninth, making him eligible for the Phoenix Open next week.

Fritsch had been entered in the Monday qualifier that he had to abandon when the Farmers Insurance Open lost Saturday to a fog delay.

Woods effectively won this tournament in the final two hours Sunday, when he stretched his lead to six shots with only 11 holes to play. Nick Watney made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 ninth when play resumed to get within five shots, only to drop three shots on the next five holes.

Everyone else started too far behind, and Woods wasn’t about to come back to them.

Even so, the red shirt seemed to put him on edge. It didn’t help that as he settled over his tee shot on the par-5 ninth, he backed off when he heard a man behind the ropes take his picture.

Woods rarely hits the fairway after an encounter with a camera shutter, and this was no different — it went so far right that it landed on the other side of a fence enclosing a corporate hospitality area.

Woods took his free drop, punched out below the trees into the fairway and then showed more irritation when his wedge nicked the flag after one hop and spun down the slope 30 feet away

instead of stopping next to the hole.

He didn’t show much reaction on perhaps his most memorable shot of the day — with his legs near the edge of a bunker some 75 feet to the left of the 11th green, he blasted out to the top shelf and watched the ball take dead aim until it stopped a foot short.

He failed to save par from a bunker on the 14th, and he hooked his tee shot so badly on the 15th hole that it traveled only about 225 yards before it was gobbled up by the ice plant. He had to take a penalty drop and wound up making double bogey.

More than his 75th career win, it was a strong opening statement for what could be a fascinating 2013.

Before anyone projects a monster year for Woods based on one week — especially when that week is at Torrey Pines — remember he just missed the cut last week in Abu Dhabi.

Woods said he wasn’t playing much differently, and would have liked two more rounds in the Middle East. Instead, a two-shot penalty for a bad drop sent him home.

Still, in healthier and happier times he usually was sharp coming after a long layoff. Throw out the trip to the Arabian Gulf, and he is.

Was this a statement?

Woods was eight shots ahead with five holes to play when he stumbled his way to the finish line, perhaps from having to kill time waiting on the group ahead. Erik Compton, Steve Marino and Fritsch had an entire par 5 open ahead of them at the end of the round.

Still, Woods played a different game than everyone else at Torrey Pines.

“I think he wanted to send a message,” said Hunter Mahan, who shares a swing coach with Woods.

To properly make the transition to an SEC-caliber tight end, Washington will have to pack on the pounds. Washington currently stands at roughly 220 pounds.

For comparison, two of the top receiving tight ends in the SEC last season, Florida’s Jordan Reed

The Daily Reveille and Tennessee’s Mychal Rivera, weighed in at 243 and 244 pounds, respectively.

Demeritt said he doesn’t expect the recruit to grow much taller, but he is looking for the receiver to tilt the scale in the coming years.

“He’s mainly going to grow in terms of weight from here on out,” Demeritt said. “I’m expecting him to be at about 228 [pounds] by next season. When he gets to college, I expect him to be around

Aaron Nola said even though he’ll feel pressure on his shoulders no matter the circumstances, he isn’t trying to replicate any of Gausman’s gaudy statistics.

“There’s always going to be pressure on me as long as I’m here,” Aaron Nola said. “I’m not going to try to live up to all the things [Gausman] did last year.

I’m just going to do what I do best and play to my potential.”

Eades, who struggled mightily at the end of last season, will need to have the same demeanor

as Aaron Nola, according to Dunn. When the topic of Gausman’s shadow arose, Dunn put it bluntly.

“The thing I want them to be is themselves,” Dunn said. “I want them to be Ryan Eades and Aaron Nola and not try to do anything outside their abilities. Their abilities are good enough.”

argue it only proves he is a young player who isn’t letting the moment get too big for him.

That is exactly why he is ready for Sunday.

It is unclear if Kaepernick is supremely confident or just too inexperienced to know he is supposed to be nervous.

Either way, 49ers fans should not care. He is a player on a major roll, and if he wins his 10th career NFL start, the Vince Lombardi Trophy will be on its way to San Francisco.

Flacco and the Ravens are top-to-bottom a more experienced team than the 49ers, but that will not matter. Kaepernick is special, and I predict he will be booking a trip to Disney World after Super Bowl XLVII.

That bodes well for the Tigers, and Washington appears to have the proper attitude to complete the transformation.

Demeritt said Washington is easily coached, as the recruit also excels at basketball and is a member of the Westlake track team.

The Westlake coach boasted about the recruit’s personality, noting that Washington is the perfect person to take the next big step to the college level after his senior season.

“He’s a pretty laidback type of guy,” Demeritt said.

Facial Expressions

Facial hair trend growing in La. Rebecca Docter Entertainment Writer

With odes to facial hair sprouting everywhere from iPhone cases to holiday gag gifts, a new

wave of beards and mustaches has taken the world by storm.

But the world of competitive bearding is, to some, a serious sport.

As of late, the facial hair community in Louisiana is growing, especially in Baton Rouge. The Bayou Beard Association, Baton Rouge’s only facial hair club, has participated in many competitions

in the South, even competing with the stars of the popular IFC series “Whisker Wars,” while also hosting its own events. In addition to facial hair competitions, the Bayou Beard Association members also meet monthly to discuss their beards and facial hair products.

Boone Wilkinson, psychology junior, followed cues from the character Bill Cutting in the film

“Gangs of New York” for an unconventional Halloween costume, and Russ Andre, 29, of Blank, La., continued growing his as a bet.

From then on, it became a lifestyle.

Some greater inspiration for growing facial hair, though, came from their families.

University student makes NOLA Fashion Week debut Marie Chaney Entertainment Writer

University apparel design senior Ella Rose is one of 19 designers showcasing collections at New Orleans Fashion Week this season. Rose will debut her work at 4 p.m. on March 3 at The Saratoga. The Daily Reveille sat down with Rose as she prepares for the big day.

The Daily Reveille: What served as the inspiration for your Fashion Week collection?

Ella Rose: It started out with a painting of poppies I made and evolved from there. I’m inspired by ’60s silhouettes and love stories like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Roman Holiday.”

TDR: When did you decide

fashion design was the right path for you?

ER: Freshman year, I started out [as] a studio art major, but I hated my photography class. So I went from a merchandising minor to a merchandising major. Eventually I ended up in apparel design. It flowed oddly, but it worked out.

TDR: How long have you worked as a designer?

ER: I took my first sewing class in the spring of my sophomore year. I took two sewing classes at once, so I was working with my sewing machine every morning. That really helped me learn quickly and get on the ball with things.

TDR: Who is your style icon?

ER: I love Twiggy. ... If I had to

say a current celebrity, well, most of my friends say I look like Zooey Deschanel. Our personal styles seem to be similar, as well.

TDR: Which fashion designers inspire you most?

ER: I’ve been paying a lot of attention to Prabal Gurung lately; he’s about to release a collection for Target. I got the opportunity to meet him at Teen Vogue’s Fashion University program.

Marc Jacobs always knows how to put on a show, that’s something I aspire to do.

Lela Rose, Chanel and Givenchy are great, too. I pay attention, but I don’t want to pay too much attention because I don’t want everyone else’s ideas taking up too much space in my mind.

“My uncle had a beard, and he used to tickle us with it when we were younger,” Wilkinson said.

Like Wilkinson, Mitchell Garsee, accounting senior and co-founder of The Bayou Beard Association, also credits family as inspiration for his facial hair.

His father, who had facial hair throughout Garsee’s youth, was a great influence on Garsee’s facial hair.

“When he shaved it, I didn’t think it was the same person,” Garsee recounted.

Wilkinson usually competes in the category of full beard natural or in Mustache. And despite appearances, Wilkinson does not rely on the aid of hair products to style

his mustache in peculiar patterns — a great accomplishment in the world of competitive bearding. He was awarded best in show at the 2011 Bayou Beard Competition.

Andre, on the other hand, leans more toward the Freestyle category, with a full beard but no mustache.

“It takes a certain confidence to have it,” Andre said. “You have to be able to deal with personal questions.”

Despite popular belief, according to Garsee, society’s newfound fascination with facial hair isn’t new at all — people’s perception of the fashion is simply growing.

“It’s like tattoos,” Garsee said.

“They’re more acceptable now than they were 100 years ago. This

The Daily Reveille is a way to be unique and have your own identity.”

A greatly noticeable difference, Garsee said, was how he was viewed after shaving his beard.

“I guess I’m more approachable now,” Garsee said. “I’ve noticed that people are more likely to sit closer to me in class.”

For these beardsmen, especially Andre, facial hair has become an indispensible part of their lives.

“It’s become a part of me,” Andre said.

ER: I stretch a piece of silk screening across an embroidery hoop, then I sketch my design on it. Once the design is perfect, I take Modge Podge [a paint-like craft sealer] and cover the negative space with it. Then I let it dry and lay it on the fabric I want printed, then I squirt a little paint onto the screen and take a gift card and scrape the paint around until it covers all the space I want it to. When I pick up the hoop, the paint will only be on the places I didn’t put Modge Podge on.

But more TV shows are featuring female characters in previously male-dominated fields. “Homeland’s” Carrie Mathison is a CIA officer, Zoe Hart from CW’s “Hart of Dixie” is a doctor and Selina Meyer is the vice president in HBO’s “Veep.”

My favorite powerful lady on television right now is probably Peggy Olson from AMC’s “Mad Men,” who rose from a lowly secretary to a senior copywriter by showcasing her talent at every opportunity and refusing to stay in the background.

In a day when more women attend college than men, it makes

perfect sense to have intelligent, driven female characters to mirror the success of modern women.

Women are no longer relegated in the background, and they shouldn’t be portrayed as though they are. Seeing depictions of strong women in the media will only encourage the next generation of women to strive to achieve even greater.

LSU Foundation should disclose search contract The Daily Reveille Editorial Board The Board of Supervisors’ decision to let the LSU Foundation pay for the search for our next system president and chancellor makes us awfully suspicious that the Board does not want the public to know how much money LSU is spending on the search.

We thank the LSU Foundation for releasing the fixed fee of $120,000 for the search firm R. William Funk & Associates, but we can’t help but wonder how much more money the foundation is spending under the category of “out-of-pocket expenses.” With the prices of travel and hotel rooms plus whatever else

the category includes, it’s likely $120,000 could easily multiply.

Since the contract lies with the LSU Foundation, we may never know the full amount being spent on the search for the next president and chancellor. As a private entity, the LSU Foundation does not have to disclose public records the way the University or the LSU System would if they had conducted the search.

As students, we have a vested interest in knowing who will be the future leader of our university, what the job description is for that person and how much money we’re paying to find him or her. What else does the contract say? What salary is being advertised for the person who comes

to our university?

LSU’s former System President John Lombardi, who was fired last April, earned a salary of more than $600,000. Given that his job will be combined with the chancellor’s job, it’s likely the salary for the new head of LSU will exceed $600,000.

Legally, the LSU Foundation does not have to turnover the contract. But for the sake of transparency, the LSU Foundation should release it. We don’t need to know the donors’ names, we don’t need to know who any of the potential candidates for the job are, we just want the process of finding the leader of our university to be public knowledge.

LSU, as a public institution, performs public research and hosts events open to the public. Thus, the public deserves to know what kind of person could be the figurehead of the state’s flagship university and how much money is being spent to find that person.

In the past, we’ve been able to find out how much money we’re spending on search firms because they’ve gone through the University and student money has gone toward conducting the searches. When LSU contracted Greenwood/Asher & Associates to search for Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell, we could report on the nuances of the contract and better inform our

readers about the search process.

Turning over the contract is the right decision for the public and for LSU’s students.

Louisiana education needs fixin’: part one of two THE PICKUP PERSPECTIVE JOHN PARKER FORD Columnist Editor’s note: This is part one of a two-part column on how to fix public education in Louisiana.

Louisiana public education is plagued with problems.

Students aren’t graduating from high school, students who can’t read are being asked to write book reports, teachers either don’t care or are underpaid — you get the picture.

The state’s national education rank is pitiful: The National Center for Education Statistics ranks Louisiana 49th out of 50.

So how can it be fixed? Is there anything we can do to reverse this trend?

There is. But it will take some dramatic steps to get there.

The first step is getting students away from home. A student’s home life can be the biggest impediment to his or her education, according to Toni C., an elementary school counselor from central Louisiana, who requested to not divulge her last name.

“I’ve had kids come in to my office who have been on robberies with their parents,” Toni said. “One was left in the back seat of his dad’s car while the father robbed a quick stop.”

Toni said it’s common for students to have no electricity, no food or even no bedroom furniture at home. Doing their homework isn’t

high on their priority list in many cases, and who can blame them?

This is a side of America most people never have to see, but in Louisiana, where nearly one in five families lives in poverty, it’s all too normal for a lot of students.

We should make each school day longer. The current school day roughly lasts from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

By tacking on an extra two hours designated for homework and tutoring, part of the struggle some students face to do homework and study at home could be eliminated.

Louisiana should also restructure the focus of education for the elementary levels. Students need to master reading and writing before moving on to anything more complex than the most basic math and science.

Math and science are important, but can’t be understood unless you’re able to read.

Those extra two hours of school would benefit students at this stage of their education. Grouping students by ability during those two hours could help them feel as if they’re on par with others instead of feeling left behind or far ahead.

Teaching is also a major problem in public schools.

When I was in high school, I had a teacher offer to give us test answers if we gave her enough money. I also had a teacher admit he was teaching a subject he knew nothing about.

There are a lot of wonderful teachers in Louisiana, but there aren’t enough.

Teachers need to be paid more, plain and simple. If teachers made more money, better-qualified people

would apply for the jobs. With more applicants, the competition would greatly increase the standard for a public school teacher.

Students should also go through individual counseling sessions at least twice per year.

Counselors should be empowered by the state to report anything they feel may show signs of abuse or negligence at home. This is incredibly important, because no matter what the education system does for a student, a bad home life can knock it out of them in a heartbeat.

Additionally, public schools should try to strengthen their ties with students’ parents.

A great example of how to do this would be offering free adult education nights at school. This would increase positive attitudes toward the school on the parent’s end, and it may even enable parents to help their children at home.

Altogether, these suggestions cost a lot of money. How can we pay for this when we’re cutting things every year to meet a budget?

The first thing we need to do is stop throwing new money at the current system — it’s not sticking.

This isn’t a Louisiana problem as much as a national mindset. In America, if something’s broke, just throw a couple hundred million dollars at it like Lil’ Wayne would.

The People: “Uh, Gov. Wayne, the education system seems to not be working. What do we do?”

Gov. Wayne: “Chehehehe, a milli, a milli, a milli, a milli…”

The problem with throwing a couple hundred milli at education is that the system, as I’ve just described at length, is

completely broken.

Unsurprisingly, the second thing we need to do is fix the system.

Thirdly, the state should prioritize education.

Business development and health care are important and necessary expenditures, but education is the foundation for a successful state.

We won’t have the intelligence to support ourselves if we aren’t careful. Then we’ll really need business development so everyone can get jobs mopping their floors.

The last tactic to making our education money count is to be smart with it. It seems easy, but we aren’t doing it now. We’re so focused on technology that we’re not focused on the basics. I’d rather

Opinion

HEAD to HEAD

Should women be allowed to serve on the front lines?

Yes. It is a progressive step forward for the military. No. Issues may arise from physical differences.

SHUT UP, MEG MEGAN DUNBAR Columnist Women on the front lines. The horror.

Not like it’s already going on. Not like women don’t already fly helicopters and fight alongside men.

They’re already allowed to fly fighter jets, serve on missile-bearing submarines and work as medics assisting soldiers on the front lines.

The fact that I could use the word “allowed” in the last sentence astounds me.

Why is it that the nation still has to allow women to do anything?

Equality should not be an issue anymore.

Let’s not insult intelligence here or look to ancient prejudice. Call the move what it is: progress.

The sad part is that we’re among the first to allow women on the front lines, along with Israel, Australia and most of mainland Europe.

The U.S. military led the way in desegregation for the nation, then more recently by letting openly gay members serve without legal retribution.

Many find it ludicrous that we, as a nation, once thought skin color had anything to do with a fighting group’s morale. As long as someone can and will fight, what does his or her race or gender matter?

It’s not like your inseparable-fromher-jewel-studded-iPhone-sister will rush to qualify for the Marine Corps infantry — that one’s difficult for men, even with their muscular advantage. Your sister wouldn’t sign up to fight because she doesn’t have the desire.

Some men don’t, either.

But now the option exists for any woman who so chooses to fight at the leading edge of a war zone, which is how it should be.

Rick Santorum said women shouldn’t serve because of “emotions.”

Really? So you’re a stone-faced man’s man? So you didn’t cry on the campaign trail in 2012 discussing the death of your premature son?

I’m not saying the tears were unwarranted, just that Santorum’s a hypocrite.

Some worry whether women will meet the physical requirements.

If they’re already hardcore enough to want a front-line combat position, don’t you think they’re already aware of the rigorous physicality required and are prepared for it?

Another concern is a man’s somehow overprotective response to seeing a wounded female on the battlefield. Pretty vague.

If that’s a realistic concern, then it sounds like a male problem instead of a female one.

I doubt men on the job would think about it for a second longer than necessary to file away the information that a comrade has been hit.

Sexual harassment? Same thing.

That’s not the problem of the victim, that’s the problem of a mindset, and it will

exist no matter the number of women or what capacity they fulfill.

The move might be more ceremonial than anything, allowing women to advance in rank while carrying out the same duties they always have.

Our commander-in-chief will not force recruiters to head across the strip mall from their offices to lurk in the stiletto-carrying corners of Payless ShoeSource to find the next five-star general, but that’s not to say they couldn’t.

Certain women have the physical strength and desire to serve their country just as men (most of them) have been able to since the advent of the Armed Forces, and they can finally be recognized.

While there are fewer women than men in the Armed Forces, the percentage of women who are commissioned officers is higher — 17 percent of women versus 15 percent of men, according to a Pew Social Trends study.

Good for them.

At one point, people argued that women’s hormones would change the atmosphere of a submarine, therefore making it unsafe for women to work in an enclosed space underwater.

Newsflash: that didn’t happen. The first two women on submarines carried out their jobs, like the Navy hired them for, paving the way for future women in expanded roles.

Joan of Arc led men to victory. Eowyn killed the Witch-king. Mulan saved China.

This is a non-issue. Let our women advance without further question.

RUN TO THE MILLS LANDON MILLS Columnist Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and General Martin E. Dempsey have announced their lifting of the 1994 ban on women in combat roles.

This isn’t the first time the discussion of women’s roles in the military has taken place.

The issue is not whether women should be in the military or are in danger or at risk during combat, but whether they should hold jobs that require directly seeking, engaging and destroying enemy combatants.

It would be foolish to take some of the past inaccurate statements about this topic and use them for the basis of a decision.

It is also safe to say that it doesn’t matter what my opinion is because the Department of Defense is going to do whatever it pleases.

The first misconception involving this issue comes from the term “front line.”

There is no such thing. We do not currently fight any symmetrical wars that define a clear front line. Instead, we are at war with illegal combatants who strike at random, which places civilians and military men and women at risk.

To say that women in the service have never been or are not at risk of being in combat currently is false.

Of course, there are certain jobs that require the direct confrontation of enemy forces, such as the infantry, a traditionally male fraternity that has existed as long as the Armed Forces have, or any elite special operations groups from various branches.

This entire concept is based on gender equality.

The physical difference between males and females is the most prevalent objection to women serving in physically demanding combat roles.

According to a study done between

eight males and eight females at McMaster University’s Department of Physical Education, women were approximately 52 to 66 percent as strong as men in the upper and lower body, respectively.

Currently, women are tested on a lighter scale than men in the Armed Forces. An appropriate response to incorporating them into traditionally male roles would be to have them meet the same standard of fitness.

This would of course create a disproportional percentage of male to female soldiers in units, because fewer females would be able to meet the standard normally attributed to men.

Women in the Armed Forces currently make up 14.5 percent of active duty personnel. According to the Department of Defense’s last annual report in 2011, one in three women were victims of sexual assault and 180 times more likely to have been a victim of sexual assault than to have died while deployed in the last 11 years to Iraq or Afghanistan.

According to the Pentagon’s Sexual Assault and Response Office, only 14 percent of sexual assaults are reported. This number is not exclusively women, but according to the report, they make up the vast majority with the perpetrator being male.

Including women in high-stress, physically demanding, long-term deployment jobs will statistically be bad for females in the service in regard to sexual harassment cases.

Considering the Department of Defense has failed to solve the number of sexual harassment cases per year, it is safe to say this lifting of the ban will most likely increase the numbers.

Many advocates of gender equality for the military use Israel as a standard.

Women, like men, are drafted into the military in Israel. However, they only serve for 21 months of the required 36 months for men.

Marriage, pregnancy and religious convictions are exemptions that remove their requirement for draft, resulting in fewer women serving than men.

General Yitkah Gershon, a 32-year veteran of the Israel Defense Forces suggests slowly integrating females into instructor roles instead of thrusting them into special operations.

Israel is also a poor comparison to use because it fights and wages war out of necessity, being surrounded by hostile groups and nations.

But now, with the lifting of the combat ban on women, Panetta said the Selective Service in the U.S. will have to adjust its draft requirements to include women as well. If not, the program would need to be abolished entirely.

I am sure the feminists and gender equality advocates will be thrilled at the death of chivalry and proposition of women drafted into combat or non-combat roles.

Welcome to the era of progressivism.

The lifting of the 1994 ban of women in combat positions will cause female soldiers to no longer be limited to guard duty and patrol and will make them eligible for front-line and commando positions.

WING-ED UNICORNS What does freedom mean to you?

Freedom is to ride on the back of a wing-ed unicorn. But you cannot fly too close to the sun, lest the wings melt, because I made them myself out of Elmer’s glue and feathers. Feathers that I found in my mom’s jewelry drawer from her boa phase in the 70s. I don’t approve of that fashion choice, but who am I to judge in this free world?

Anyway, I created my destiny. I am the creator. To be free is to be the creator. Unicorns. Wings. Feathers. Life.

Freedom.
