Theatre professor to choreograph 2014 Winter Olympics ceremonies

New LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has the quirky alliterative name to match Les Miles’ coaching quirks.

Come fall, Tiger fans will find out if their offensive philosophies can align to lift LSU out CAMERON of a three-season run in the offensive doldrums.

It’s an atypical hire, considering Miles technically had a coordinator in place (reassigned offensive line coach Greg Studrawa), Cameron is a close friend and LSU has never named someone whose previous job was on an NFL staff to a coordinator spot or above.

This was a necessary marriage for both parties, with LSU desperately needing a respected, offensive mind to mend a passing game that

Nick Erickson, an assistant professor for the LSU Department of Theatre, poses by swords Feb. 13 in his office in the LSU Music and Dramatic Arts Building.

Theatre assistant professor and resident fight choreographer Nick Erickson is off to Russia to create a spectacular experience for an estimated one billion viewers — in the name of the 2014 Soshi Winter Olympics.

As a movement specialist, Erickson will work with a team of almost 30 performers from around the world to lay the groundwork for the center section of the opening ceremonies.

“This is going to be a visual feast,” Erickson said. “The stadium is specially designed to handle a new way of performing opening ceremonies. The roof and dome is structurally advanced with tracks and other parts that allow for hanging.”

Erickson has already attended a creative meeting in New York City to lay out the event, but will travel to Moscow on March 11 to discuss the project in more detail.

At the weeklong conference in March, all of the heads of the core creative teams will work to create the structure of the performance in detail, from OLYMPICS, see page 8

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Candidates hope to have ‘impact’ Judah Robinson Senior Contributing Writer

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of profiles on the Student Government presidential campaign. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order by presidential candidates’ last names.

As the spring 2013 Student Government elections draw near, T Graham S. Howell and Kaitlin Torké are preparing for a presidential and vice presidential campaign to improve the way SG is run.

“Kaitlin and I have chosen to run because we believe Student Government is not serving at its full potential,” Howell said. “There is a lot that must be changed in order for the organization to make an impact on the student body and the University.”

Howell, a mass communication and psychology junior, and Torké, a mass communication and political science junior, said they are running on the theme of “Impact.”

“We chose the slogan ‘Impact’ because we believe that that is where Student Government has

failed,” said Howell. “It is the job of Student Government to advocate for students and this University; unless we have an impact with what we do, our job could be viewed as a failure.”

Howell and Torké hope to make changes at the University through a series of 25 initiatives, which include focuses on academics, student life, transportation, Baton Rouge and the LSU community.

“Last year, some of the themes were ‘Your LSU’ and ‘Be Heard LSU,’ and it’s fine if you want to be heard, but unless the people who get in office do something, there IMPACT, see page 8

INTERNATIONAL Pope blesses huge crowd of devotees from window in St. Peter’s Square VATICAN CITY (AP) — His arms outstretched in a symbolic embrace, Pope Benedict XVI blessed tens of thousands of cheering people on Sunday in one of his last appearances as pontiff from his window overlooking St. Peter’s Square.

Last week, 85-year-old Benedict shocked the world by announcing his resignation. He will step down on Feb. 28, planning to retreat to a life of prayer in a monastery behind the Vatican’s ancient walls.

Benedict made no direct reference to his departure.

Khamenei has chided the parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, for publicly humiliating Ahmadinejad in response to an ambush earlier this month in parliament when he played a videotape tape purported to show corruption inside the family of the chamber’s speaker.

Hummingbirds migrating to North America several days earlier in spring

Strain says southwest La. could benefit from rice exports to China

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Ruby-throated hummingbirds are migrating to North America weeks earlier than in decades past, and research indicates that higher temperatures in their winter habitat may be the reason.

Researchers say the early arrival could mean less food at nesting time for the tiny birds that feed on insect pests, help pollinate flowers and are popular with birdwatchers.

The research found that the birds are arriving in North America 12 to 18 days earlier than in the past.

WELSH (AP) — Southwest Louisiana rice farmers could reap benefits from growing Chinese agriculture markets by exporting rice there.

State Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain and U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, discussed opening the rice market and other agriculture-related issues with nearly two dozen farmers during a Farm Day forum last week.

“I think we may see more rice moving to China,” Strain said.

“Right now China has 20 percent of the world’s population and produces 20 percent of the world’s agriculture, but they are reaching finite limits where they can’t produce any more.”

Wetland symposium ponders solutions to coastal loss

Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

The Student Wetland Society raised awareness for wetland problems and research efforts Friday at the third biennial Student Wetland Symposium.

All students were encouraged to attend the series of presentations to view the poster submissions from students of many disciplines, listen to speakers and network at lunch.

Oceanography and coastal science graduate student and chair of the Student Wetland Symposium planning committee Melissa Carle said the biennial deadline gives more opportunity for students to present research and to include graduate and undergraduate students.

Carle said she was excited for the showcase of the variety of wetlands research across campus.

Students of any major could participate.

“We want to bring as many different perspectives as possible,” Carle said.

This year, design students submitted a poster with plans for

Volunteers round up derelict crab traps at rodeos Lost traps create hazards, harm crabs

Olivia McClure Contributing Writer

Fishing gear lost at sea will be wrangled to shore with help from the University during upcoming derelict crab trap rodeos.

Julie Anderson, renewable natural resources professor and fisheries specialist, said the rodeos are daylong cleanup events during which volunteers remove derelict crab traps from coastal waters. The lost traps pose safety and environmental threats, as well as economic losses for fishermen, she said. “[Traps] are relatively expensive,” Anderson said. “Most fishermen don’t want to leave their gear out there, but storms, boats passing that cut buoy lines—things like that all result in lost traps.”

Anderson said about 3,000 derelict traps — or enough to fill eight dumpsters — were

collected over the course of three rodeos last year. More may be removed this year thanks to Hurricane Isaac and a new database the University’s School of Renewable Natural Resources manages that fishermen use to report lost traps, she said.

“Over 3,000 traps have been reported lost just due to Isaac, and we know that’s from only a handful of fishermen,” Anderson said.

Paula Ouder, editor of Louisiana Sea Grant, said the crab trap rodeos coincide with Sea Grant’s mission to promote sustainable use of the coast and environment.

The rodeos also benefit fishery businesses, she said.

“It’s fewer crabs they can bring in, and those traps are known to attract other species like turtles,” Ouder said.

Martin Bourgeois, marine

Suboxone Program

fisheries biologist with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said about 3,000 commercial and 4,000 recreational crab trap fishermen are licensed in Louisiana. A commercial fisherman may have up to 200 traps, he said, meaning there are plenty of traps with the potential of getting lost.

Besides creating bad aesthetics, derelict equipment presents hazards to crabs that wander into lost traps and are never brought to shore, Bourgeois said. They also harm shrimpers when their nets pick up stray traps, he said.

“Getting a trap can cost them a great deal of their catch and the down time it takes to get it out,” Bourgeois said.

Bourgeois said the rodeos are scheduled during the winter when crabs are sluggish because of cooler water temperatures.

PAIN PILL ADDICTION

Also, lower tides make derelict traps more visible and easier to remove, he said.

The cleanup efforts began in 2002 as a project of Wildlife and Fisheries, Anderson said. The volunteer base dwindled within a few years, though, she said.

Anderson received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in 2012 to partner with the state to revitalize the project. With the funds, the cleanups were redesigned as rodeos and made into festive events featuring door prizes and food, she said.

Anderson said the rodeos are the result of a large partnership between the University,

Louisiana Sea Grant and Wildlife and Fisheries. Volunteers include University students and faculty as well as members of organizations such as the Coastal Conservation Association, she said.

The first rodeo took place Saturday. Two more are scheduled for Feb. 23 in East Point à la Hache, La., and March 9 in Hopedale, La. Those interested in volunteering can sign up at laseagrant.org/crabtraps.

has ranked 102nd on average since 2010 and Cameron running his course in the NFL after 11-straight pro seasons.

Though Cameron faced playcalling gripes in Baltimore and San Diego, there’s no denying his pedigree.

In 11 seasons, offenses under his direction finished outside of the NFL’s top half only twice to go along with seven playoff appearances.

Cameron took over Baltimore’s perennially putrid offense in 2008 and transformed it into a consistent threat. However, Baltimore fired him after Week 14, just seven weeks before its Super Bowl title.

Even though he was fired from his last two NFL jobs, his offenses averaged 24 points per game and he was a key mentor for four different Pro Bowl quarterbacks, including Super Bowl winners Drew Brees and Joe Flacco.

“There was a time or two where we would butt heads,” Brees said in his 2010 autobiography.

“But I think that was all part of the process of him trying to mold me into the type of quarterback, person and leader he knew I could be, and I appreciate him for that.”

Butting heads was a focal point of Cameron’s introductory news conference Friday, as both Cameron and Miles acknowledged that the two friends will have to limit any play-calling discrepancies.

“Brothers fight like brothers sometimes,” Cameron said.

“But we all know what is the most

important thing – the team and the University.”

So how does Cameron’s offense mesh with LSU’s personnel and Miles’ style? On paper, it’s a good fit.

Cameron’s base tactics owe heavily to the Air Coryell style, which combines a vertical passing attack — aided by tight ends and running backs on short routes and helmed by a strong-armed pocket quarterback — with a tight, power running game.

That’s a small but significant deviation from the 2012 offense run by senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who Cameron said is a “strong thrower” for any offense.

In almost every pass route Cameron employs, two receivers run mid-range to deep routes in an attempt to strike a big play or open up underneath runs or checkdowns.

Two speedy receivers are necessary for those routes, and LSU has two juniors, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, who are prime candidates for those roles.

But like most offenses, Cameron’s requires versatile line play first. There, LSU returns six players with starting experience that average a bruising weight of 323 pounds.

Tight end is the only real question mark for Cameron’s philosphy, with the Tigers returning no starters from last year at the position.

CAMPAIGN

Team starts anti-bullying campaign Walther Bateman, team member and public relations senior, said they decided to target Baton Rouge middle school students because they believe that age group is where most bullying occurs. “[Middle school students] are not legally allowed ’til the age of 13 to get onto social media, so we’re hoping we can get their older siblings and parents and have them share that information with them,” Walther said.

The team has created educational materials about bullying prevention and has presented them to students at local middle schools.

BREC Director of Communication Cheryl Michelet said the organization did not hesitate when the Bateman team contacted them about a partnership because of the issue’s relevance.

“It’s a good message, it’s a timely message, it’s an important message and our kids need to hear it,” Michelet said.

Michelet said BREC has discussed making the team’s educational materials available at the organization’s spring and summer camps, which she said around 10,000 children participated in last year.

Carlos Daniels, director of program operations for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge, said they are planning to use the team’s program one or two days per week during their after-school program. He said the campaign falls in

Five University students are hoping to end bullying, and they are making their case through a national public relations competition.

Manship School students Jacquelyn Duhon, Chelsea Moreau, Catherine Parsiola, Remy Plas and Camille Walther created the To Be Honest campaign, an anti-bullying initiative named after the social media game of the same name. The campaign is part of the Public Relations Student Society of America’s Bateman Case Study Competition.

The contest includes participants from universities across the country, all of whom must create public relations campaigns targeting a specific issue.

Teams selected by the PRSSA national panel gain recognition from major PR firms, and strategic communications professor Jensen Moore-Copple said Bateman students usually go on to impressive internships or jobs.

According to the campaign’s website, “This game has become an excuse for kids to cyberbully one another. The To Be Honest campaign challenges kids to rethink the game.”

While the campaign primarily focuses on combating cyberbullying via social media, the team has also partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge and BREC to spread their message.

line with the Boys and Girls Club’s mission to make kids more responsible and caring citizens.

All five Bateman Team students are in Moore-Copple’s public relations campaigns class.

Moore-Copple said this year, there were about 10-15 applicants for the University’s Bateman team, and the entire public relations faculty convened to choose who would be the best fit for the competition.

Walther said in the past, a professor would assign chosen applicants individual jobs for the team.

This year, Walther said there are no specific jobs and the duties have fallen into place based on each member’s personality.

“I didn’t want them to be constricted by job titles,” Moore-Copple said. “I wanted them to all consider themselves as equals.”

Plas said the competition rules state each campaign must run from Feb. 1 to Feb. 28, and all of their social media and online materials must be gone or inactive by midnight on the 28th.

After the 28th, Moore-Copple said the team will hand over its materials to BREC and the Boys and Girls Club and will be unable to do any more work on the campaign.

movement to flow to music.

This summer, Erickson will spend almost a month in Russia rehearsing the movement and flow of the performance.

“Nick Erickson’s invitation to join the creative team for the Opening Ceremonies at the 2014 Soshi Olympic Winter Games is another indicator of the international reach of our talented faculty in the Department of Theatre and College of Music and Dramatic Arts,” said Dean of the College of Music and Dramatic Arts Laurence Kaptain. “The last winter games in Vancouver had an estimated audience of over one billion for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.”

The nearly 300 performers in the opening ceremonies are almost entirely native volunteers, and the rest are hired specialists in music, dance and acrobatics. Although the creative teams design and implement the ceremony, the native country has ultimate control over the direction.

Erickson specializes in stage combat and came to the University in 2001, choreographing the combat for all performances put on by the theatre department and Swine Palace. He has been certified by the Society of American Fight Directors as an actor combatant, specializing in unarmed and rapier dagger combat.

With a range of specialties, including tai chi and aerial silk, Erickson considers himself “atypical” when it comes to movement specialization.

“As a professor, I teach classes specialized for actors, but my professional job is how to make movement exceptional and tell a story,” Erickson said.

As a part of the theatre program, Erickson was hired to train people in the MFA acting program, which is highly competitive and has some of the best actors in the country, Erickson said.

“This just shows the kind of people we have working for this school,” said theatre junior Matthew Reed. “It’s amazing that I’m able to learn from someone who does professional work for big things like the Olympics.”

Erickson is a founding member of the internationally renowned modern acrobatic dance company, Diavolo Dance Theater, along with founder and Artistic Director Jacques Heim.

Heim’s work for Diavolo has attracted the attention of FiveCurrents, an even larger company that works with the International Olympic Committee. FiveCurrents does choreography for large-scale events, including previous opening ceremonies as well as the Disneyland 50th Anniversary and Super Bowl Saturday, to name a few.

“Nick Erickson now joins our alumni, faculty and students who win international awards, star on Broadway in film and video, grace the stages of leading opera houses, compose music and design for the theatre,” Kaptain said. “We are proud to have such notable faculty who attract, train and further the careers of our talented students at LSU.” Contact Luke Jones at ljones@lsureveille.com

is no impact being made,” Howell said.

Student safety, protecting the University from potential budget cuts and improving the academic environment on campus are areas in which Howell and Torké hope to improve if they are elected.

Howell said he has been involved in SG at the University for the last two years and gained SG experience at the University of Tennessee during his freshman year.

“Having an outside perspective, as well as the knowledge of how things work at LSU — what has failed in the past, what isn’t currently working — makes Kaitlin and I a unique choice between the two tickets on the ballot this year,” Howell said.

Howell and Torké said they believe the primary goal of SG is to serve and advocate for students and the University.

“We feel that SG is a true advocate of the student body as well as the University as a whole,” Howell said. “That is why we will also effectively seek the student position on the LSU Board of Supervisors.”

The student position on the

Board of Supervisors is a position chosen from the different student body presidents in the LSU System.

One thing Howell and Torké said they are determined to improve is communication.

“We need to hear the voices of the 30,000 students on this campus, not just the voices of those in Student Government,” Torké said.

If elected, Howell and Torké said they will confront the issues of disorganization and transparency within SG. “The biggest thing that needs to happen in Student Government is an increase in transparency,” Torké said. “We are thinking of implementing a press briefing or monthly newsletter so the average student will know what is happening every week and every month.”

Howell and Torké will make their official announcement at 11:30 a.m. today in the “echo circle” of Free Speech Plaza.

Voting in the general election will open at 7 a.m. on March 11 and close at 6:59 p.m. on March 12.

Cam Cameron introduced as new offensive coordinator Tyler Nunez Sports Writer

LSU announced Cam Cameron as its fourth offensive coordinator in as many years on Friday in a news conference at the University’s Athletic Administration Building.

Cameron, who agreed to a three-year deal with undisclosed terms, will try to improve what has been a relatively weak offense for the past few seasons.

“We’ve been pretty good,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “... With that being said, good is not good enough.

We want to be a great team.”

Cameron brings 29 years of coaching experience to LSU, split between 15 years at the college level and 14 in the NFL. He also played football and basketball under Hall of Fame coaches Lee Corso and Bobby Knight, respectively, at his alma mater, Indiana University.

Newly hired LSU football offensive coordinator Cam Cameron discusses his plans for the team at a news conference Friday at the Athletic Administration Building.

Times, they aren’t a-changin.

Most LSU fans have convinced themselves new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will ride into Baton Rouge like a knight in shining armor and remodel the Tigers’ offensive identity.

Not going to happen.

The Tiger faithful are going crazy about Cameron simply because he isn’t former offensive play-callers Greg Studrawa or Gary Crowton. Don’t get me wrong, LSU needed a new offensive coordinator.

Studrawa wasn’t hired to run the offense — Steve Kragthorpe was. But sadly, Kragthorpe was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Studrawa had to fill in weeks before the 2011 season started.

The LSU offense required a leader with whom coach Les Miles wasn’t buddy-buddy. It needed someone like defensive coordinator John Chavis, who had no previous connection to Miles before he was hired at LSU in 2009.

Chavis wasn’t afraid to say, “This is my defense, and this is how I’m going to run it.”

LSU offense explodes, closes opening weekend sweep

Chandler Rome Sports Writer

Hindered by stifling wind but bolstered by strong pitching, LSU’s bats only mustered 15 hits as the Tigers trudged through two victories against Maryland to open the weekend series.

As the wind changed direction on Sunday, so did the script.

Home runs from juniors Ty Ross and JaCoby Jones, along with an eight-run seventh inning, propelled an offensive outburst as the No. 10 Tigers (3-0) blew by the visiting Terrapins (03) 14-3 on a blustery day in Alex Box Stadium.

“The first two nights were really hard on the hitters,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “Today, the wind shifted. … The nerves were gone, and it was a much more normal environment. I think the kids

felt great up there at the plate.”

After Maryland showcased stout pitching and mistake-free defense for two games, Sunday had neither as seven Terrapin pitchers combined to surrender 14 hits coupled with head-scratching defensive plays.

Jones opened the scoring in the second inning, lifting Terrapin starter Alex Robinson’s 3-1 fastball over the left field wall for the first LSU long ball of the season.

“I was being patient at the plate,” Jones said. “I was zoning in on that [fastball], and that’s what he threw me. I got a hold of it pretty good.”

The Tigers added another run in the third when freshman shortstop Alex Bregman drilled the first of his three singles on the day, scoring sophomore center fielder Chris Sciambra who reached on a four-pitch walk.

The Terps fired right back with two runs of their own in the fourth, touching up LSU senior starter Brent Bonvillain for two straight singles to lead off the inning.

First baseman LaMonte Wade would follow with a sacrifice fly to center and designated hitter Jose Cuas drove home left fielder Matt Bosse on a can of corn popup that Jones lost in the sun.

In his first career start, Bonvillain held the Terps in check, scattering only four hits over his four innings of work, while wiggling out of some jams along the way.

“It wasn’t too shabby,” Bonvillain said. “My fastball and changeup was there. We kind of stuck to that for the first three BASEBALL, see page 13

Lady Tigers defeat Mississippi State, 63-41

LSU improves to .500 in SEC play Tyler Nunez Sports Writer

The LSU women’s basketball team improved to .500 in Southeastern Conference play Sunday when they handily defeated Mississippi State 63-41 in Humphrey Coliseum.

The Lady Tigers (15-10, 6-6 SEC) earned the victory against Mississippi State (11-14, 3-9 SEC) primarily with a dominant secondhalf performance in which they outscored the Bulldogs 35-16.

“It started with our defense,” LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said in a post-game radio interview. “…

Once we really settled into what we needed to do on the defensive end, we really got our game plan in action.”

LSU led by as many as eight points in the first half. After converting only one field goal in the final 10 minutes of the period, the Lady Tigers headed to the locker room with a narrow 28-25 lead.

The Lady Tigers began to find their rhythm again in the second half, and after going on an 18-4 run to take a 48-31 lead, they never looked back.

LSU junior forward Theresa Plaisance and senior guard Adrienne Webb led the run and

Tigers sweep Purple and Gold Tigers begin spring Challenge, top Nicholls State 1-0 season in Alabama Mike Gegenheimer

LSU won two of last three tourneys

Sports Contributor

The recently scorching bats finally cooled off for the No. 10 LSU softball team in its 1-0 win against Nicholls State on Sunday night as the Tigers completed a five-win sweep of the competition at the Purple and Gold Challenge.

The weekend’s previous four matchups were an offensive exhibition for the Tigers who crossed the plate a combined 25 times Friday and Saturday.

LSU coach Beth Torina said the drop-off in offensive production came from a low ball style of pitcher her team wasn’t as prepared for after four games of pitchers throwing high in the strike zone.

“When we have to prepare for five different opponents, it’s hard to get a specific focus,” Torina said. “We’ve definitely got to figure out how to make adjustments a little better. We’ve got to be able to make the adjustment from up in the zone to down in the zone.”

Before Sunday night, LSU put four balls over the fence at the Purple and Gold Challenge to bring the total to eight in the past five days including the team’s trip to Ole Miss earlier in the week during which the Tigers hit four long balls in one game. LSU hit only 13 home runs in all of 2012.

home run in the team’s second game against Virginia on Saturday.

Despite the drop in offensive production against Nicholls, the Tigers continued to dominate the start of games, outscoring opponents 18-0 in the first inning. Sunday night was no different as junior Tammy Wray hit the eventual game-winning RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the first.

“Batting behind Bianka and Falcon, it’s such a strong 1-2-3 right there,” Wray said. “I’m so confident that they’re going to get on [base] that it makes my job so much easier. You’re just so confident that they’re going to get on and you’re going to do your job and get them in.”

The Tigers relied on solid pitching all weekend from senior Rachele Fico and junior Meghan Patterson who combined for 32 strikeouts in five games — including Patterson’s eight retirements against Nicholls State.

“Luckily we got a great pitching performance out of Meghan Patterson today,” Torina said.

“She’s been so solid lately that coming out and getting the final win today at this tournament is fitting. … Of course we want more out of our offense, but we’ll take our five wins this weekend.”

The LSU men’s golf team will tee off the spring season today when it begins play at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate in Alabama.

This is the first time LSU has played at the Magnolia Grove Crossings Golf Course and LSU coach Chuck Winstead said his team is unfamiliar with the course.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Winstead said. “Playing a course they don’t know will be good for the guys. It’s early, and we need to find where we stand relative to our competition.”

The course will play host to the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic in May. “I heard the course is narrow, and that is about all I know,” said LSU junior Andrew Presley.

“That should fit our team pretty well because we all hit the ball straight.”

The Tigers ended the fall season winning two of their final three tournaments — the Shoal Creek Intercollegiate in September and the David Toms Intercollegiate in October.

Winstead said he liked where the Tigers were heading into the break but felt his team has struggled to find consistency so far this spring.

“I wish we looked a little better,” Winstead said. “We have had some good scores in practice, but it has been sporadic and not always by the same people. I think getting back into the tournament mode will help that though.”

Behind Presley, the Tigers’ lineup will consist of junior Smylie Kaufman along with sophomores Curtis Thompson, Stewart Jolly and Myles Lewis.

“I’m definitely excited,” Presley said. “It’s been a long time since we played. The fall season ended pretty well, so I think we’re all pretty ready to start the spring.”

Presley ended the fall on a hot streak. After getting off to a slow start, the junior finished with an individual win at the David Toms Intercollegiate and a No. 9 finish at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational.

Thompson and Jolly also claimed an individual title for the Tigers as the two co-medaled at Shoal Creek.

The 16-team field this week will include Southeastern Conference opponents Auburn, Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Mississippi State along with the defending champions from Middle Tennessee State.

The tournament will conclude Tuesday.

exact opposite. If I could tell anything from his introductory news conference, he’s looking for even more help from Miles when it comes to calling plays.

“There will be communication, whether it’s four-down territory, or how the score or clock factors in,” Cameron said Friday.

“That’s what we talked about and that is what we will do. I think that is why we are going to be successful.”

Notice how Cameron uses “we” instead of “I” throughout his response.

Miles and Cameron go way back. They shared the same office at the University of Michigan, where they coached together for seven years from 1987 to 1993.

The relationship between the two will make it even harder for Cameron to make this offense his own. One of the LSU fan base’s biggest gripes during the 2012 season was Miles having too much input on the offensive game plan.

Get used to it.

It sounds like Cameron isn’t going to be taking the reins of the offense away from Miles. If

anything, he might let him be more involved than Studrawa or Crowton ever permitted.

“With our relationship and the way Les communicates, it will be very clear what our plan is,” Cameron said.

Was Cameron the most qualified candidate for the job? Or was LSU his landing spot because his old pal Miles reached out to him after the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens kicked him to the curb after Week 14?

Cameron got the boot because Ravens coach John Harbaugh got tired of watching his offense use running back check downs with one of the NFL’s biggest arms, Joe Flacco, at his disposal. Not to mention Cameron was replaced in Baltimore by Jim Caldwell, who helped the Ravens offense average 31 points in the postseason having never called plays before.

It sounds more like Miles’ text to Cameron after he got fired probably sounded like, “Hey buddy, you can come crash at LSU until you land on your feet.” No one wants to see a friend lose his job.

Chavis was an excellent hire because Miles knew he needed someone who had a proven track

The Daily Reveille record in the Southeastern Conference. Cameron hasn’t coached at the college level since 2001, when he was fired from Indiana after posting an 18-37 record in five seasons.

Some prominent players on LSU’s 2001 roster included Rohan Davey, Josh Reed and Bradie James. Yeah, it’s been that long since Cameron paced a college sideline.

For Les, hiring Cameron is a win-win situation. He gets to bring in the offensive coordinator LSU fans have been begging for, and he can still help out a friend who was out of work.

The LSU offense will be slightly better under Cameron’s guidance. But will his presence drastically change LSU’s conservative offensive mindset with him having total control of the offense?

Not on Miles’ watch.

After tough losses, Tigers coast to victory against McNeese State Cole Travis Sports Contributor

After suffering a couple of tough losses in California, the LSU women’s tennis team responded with a resounding 6-1 victory Saturday against McNeese State University.

Seniors Ebie Wilson and Keri Frankenberger got the Lady Tigers rolling, winning their doubles match 8-2. That win was soon followed by the duo of senior Kaitlin Burns and freshman Ella Taylor clinching the doubles point with a 8-6 victory.

The Lady Tigers kept rolling in singles play as they won the first set in five of the six matches. Wilson

quickly extended the LSU lead to 2-0, winning her match 6-0, 6-0.

After junior Ariel Morton beat her opponent 6-1, 6-0, Burns clinched the match with her 6-2, 6-0 victory.

Freshman Caroline Hudson also brought home a point with a 6-3, 6-2 win. Taylor finished off the scoring for LSU with a 6-1, 6-1 victory.

With five comfortable wins under their belts, the Lady Tigers turned their focus to court 1, where sophomore Mary Jeremiah was locked in a tough match with Klaudia Gawlik.

After dropping the first set 3-6, Jeremiah battled back to even the score, winning the second 6-4.

Despite clawing back into the match, she fell in the third set super tie break 6-10, bringing the match to a final 6-1 score.

“Our singles today was the best job we have done all year as far as our focus and intensity,” coach Julia Sell said in a news release.

“We worked on our accountability all week in practice, and it really showed today. I’m excited by today’s effort and look forward to building on our progress.”

innings.”

Knotted at two apiece, Ross broke the game open in the bottom half of the fourth with a three-run home run to left-center field.

“He threw me a good fastball,” Ross said. “I was just trying to look to put something in the air to get the run. It ended up getting out of here.”

Junior righty Nate Fury came on in relief of Bonvillain for the fifth, pitching a perfect inning and picking up his first win as a Tiger.

For the former Tulane player and Delgado Community College transfer who recovered from a torn ACL last season, the moment was part of his lifelong dream.

“It’s awesome,” Fury said.

“It’s good to get a win, regardless.

I’m not really in here to try to get as many wins as I can get, but it’s a good feeling.”

After tacking on another run in the fifth on Katz’s first hit and RBI of the season, the Tigers opened it up in the seventh, sending 12 batters to the plate as the wheels fell off for Maryland.

Bregman, senior outfielder

Raph Rhymes, Jones and sophomore designated hitter Tyler Moore all singled to open the floodgates, with all four scoring to begin the onslaught and let Mainieri empty his bench.

Junior third baseman Christian Ibarra highlighted the massacre with a two-RBI double, good for his first extra-base hit as a Tiger. Freshman outfielder Andrew Stevenson also notched his first RBI as a Tiger on an infield single, pinch hitting for Rhymes.

In a game during which every position player saw action and six different Tigers threw a pitch, Mainieri said he was pleased with the team effort in advance of a strenuous stretch of four games in six days.

“We’re going to need a lot of players,” Mainieri said. “During the course of the year, guys get nicked up. You don’t want to have a drop off coming to the next guy.”

After spending the last 11 years in the NFL, Cameron said he is excited to return to the college level, and even more so to be at LSU. “I have seen every LSU football game for the last eight years,” Cameron said. “I can’t tell you how honored and thrilled I am to be a part of this program.”

LSU fans are hoping Cameron is the piece of the puzzle the Tigers have been missing in their past few seasons.

The Tigers finished the 2012 season averaging 374.2 yards of total offense (No. 87 in the Football Bowl Subdivision, No. 10 in the Southeastern Conference) and 200.5 yards passing (No. 94 in the FBS, No. 11 in the SEC).

Rather than revamp LSU’s entire offensive scheme, Cameron plans to take an open-minded approach to allow him to build on what he considers “a great foundation.”

“I want these men to teach me why they have been so successful so far and how I can help build from where we are,” Cameron said.

Cameron has played a role in molding quarterbacks such as Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and, most recently, Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.

This experience has the Tigers hopeful that quarterback Zach Mettenberger might reach his full potential in his senior season with Cameron’s aid.

“Figuring out what [Mettenberger] likes most is one of the first things we are doing in this system,” Cameron said. “... We are going to test every limit he has and see all he can do. We are just building on what we are doing.”

Cameron replaces Greg Studrawa, who manned the post for the last two seasons after Steve Kragthorpe unexpectedly announced his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease four months after being hired for the position in January 2011.

Studrawa will return to his original spot on the staff as the offensive line coach, and quarterbacks coach Kragthorpe will move from quarterbacks coach to an off-field administrative role.

Miles immediately struck down the perception that Studrawa’s replacement could create tension within the staff. He said Studrawa himself suggested the move so he could focus completely on the offensive line. “[Studrawa] said that maybe it would be best if somebody else called the plays,” Miles said.

Cameron and Miles have a history dating back to 1987 when they coached together at Michigan under legendary coach Bo Schembechler. They became close friends, and Cameron was a groomsman in Miles’ wedding in 1993.

Miles said as soon as he heard Cameron had been fired from his position as the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator, it was an easy decision to target him as the next man to run LSU’s offense. Miles added that the two have been looking for the opportunity to work together for more

than a decade.

“I sent [Cameron] a text immediately, which would not be uncommon anyway because of our relationship,” Miles said. “It fell together exactly right. How it came together benefited us.”

Both coaches brushed off the

idea that working together could lead to a strain in the relationship and negative effects on the field.

Miles said disagreements within the staff are necessary for success because they lead to a more unified understanding of the program’s goals.

Monday, February 18, 2013 After almost 20 years coaching separate programs, both coaches are eager to get back in the trenches together.

“Going to war with a guy you’ve been in the foxhole with before, you feel comfortable with his calls and how he thinks,”

Miles said. “I am looking forward to it very much.”

George Washington was a divinely assisted badass THE PICKUP PERSPECTIVE JOHN PARKER FORD Columnist Today is Presidents Day, the day we celebrate George Washington’s birthday — and apparently all other past presidents.

But screw all the other presidents, for they’ve got nothing on ol’ George.

In honor of Washington — who may have also been either a ninja or wizard — I have decided to celebrate his birthday.

But first, let me clarify something. This is more about what happened to Washington than what Washington did.

By most accounts, Washington was a pretty bad general, which makes his accomplishments all the more impressive.

Earlier in his career and before the revolution, Washington was what Dwight Schrute might call an “Assistant British General.” He was actually an assistant to that general (as in secretary who also fetched the rum), but no one’s counting.

One day during the French and Indian War, the British

decided to surprise the Native Americans with an ambush.

During that battle, Washington — assistant to the general, remember — decided to hop on a horse and join the fracas after his general was killed, taking command himself.

Small problem — his horse was immediately shot out from under him.

“No biggie,” Washington thought.

He quickly recovered from the fall, spotted a vacant horse, shouted, “Dibs!” and ran toward it. He then mounted the beast and resumed his organizational efforts of the troops.

And then his horse — yep, his second horse — was shot out from under him.

George Washington’s badassery could have ended there that day, but it didn’t.

In an action that would have gotten him a nasty letter from PETA today, he hopped on a third horse and resumed leading the troops.

Luckily for the horse, Washington was fine for the rest of the battle. When he got off his steed at the end of the day, he looked down at himself.

He had four bullet holes in

his coat and none in his body.

George Washington was pretty much Neo from “The Matrix.” He was The One. There are other accounts of stories like this in which Washington essentially rode circles around bullets.

For example, during the Revolutionary War, Washington, who was commanding the American forces, arrived late to a battle between his troops and the British.

If you’ve seen any movies about the revolution, you’ll know common practice was to form a straight, horizontal line and fire at each other.

Upon arrival to the battle, Washington reformed his army’s line and told them to hold their fire. He then rode his poor, poor horse between both armies and ordered his troops to fire.

Just visualize that scene in your head for a moment — I’ll wait.

After surviving — and at this point, that’s kind of expected — the battle, he wrote a letter to his brother describing his time, saying, “I heard bullets whistle and, believe me, there is something charming to the sound of bullets.”

In addition to dodging bullets, Washington also frequently

made battle plans that heavily relied on weather or other conditions that should not occur.

One such plan called for a group of Washington’s troops to gather supplies and heavy gear from a fort 300 miles away from their current position, load them onto boats in a nearby river, sail down that river, then unload the boats and use snow sleds to bring the supplies back to base — all during the freezing winter.

This, of course, seems incredibly difficult, but when you throw in the fact that the river needed to be unfrozen while there was snow on the ground makes it seem quite impossible.

You already know it worked anyway.

The river started freezing over while they unloaded the cargo after their trek down the river.

Only then did it start snowing.

Remember, Washington specifically ordered sleds to be used, so if it had not snowed, the mission likely would have failed.

America is unlikely to ever have such a badass for a president again.

The trend seems to be moving away from presidents with military experience, which is neither good nor bad.

Stats deceive, Republicans will make a comeback RUN TO THE MILLS LANDON MILLS Columnist Democrats who hold seats in traditionally red states are already sweating the 2014 election season, and Louisiana is no exception.

Not coincidentally, the most recent “push poll” declared Gov. Bobby Jindal’s approval rating had “plunged more than 20 points” and followed Sen. Mary Landrieu who holds an apparent eight-point “likeability” lead, The Times-Picayune reported Monday.

Besides the comparison of a governor to a U.S. senator approval poll along with other hypothetical matchups, the Public Policy Polling survey is designed to make Landrieu appear more

stable for re-election in 2014 than she actually is.

PPP’s survey may come as an encouragement to their democratic base — until they look at how the Louisiana actually voted last November.

The 2012 voting spread was 58-41. This doesn’t bode well for Landrieu or any other “D” in this red state.

However, the translation from senatorial to presidential elective support isn’t perfect, but it is a good predictor of how the 2014 elections are likely to fall.

Herein lies the flaw with PPP’s survey and media interpretation.

They oversample the left.

Landrieu holds a seat in the Senate without representing the majority of Louisiana voters and their values.

Of course, Landrieu’s strong political acumen and powerful family name will benefit her as she attempts to defend her seat.

But she is not nearly as favorable as the left will try to present her to be in the coming election, and they will probably use tactics similar to those seen in 2010.

Tactics are as follows: Stay away from National Democrat ideology, mobilize a few special interests and highlight the accomplishments that appear most favorable to the voter.

In 2014, there are 35 Senate elections, 14 defended by Republicans and 21 by Democrats.

“University of Virginia’s Center for Politics warns on Thursday in its latest breakdown of the 2014 Senate races that Senate Democrats should be on high alert in seven states in which they hold seats,” The Washington Times reported Thursday.

Those states include Louisiana, South Dakota, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa and North Carolina.

Sen. Joe Manchin, a

Democrat in West Virginia, secured his seat in a red state by openly criticizing President Obama early on in his campaign in order to secure independence from presidential unpopularity in red states.

Landrieu won’t be able to use this tactic because of her voting record.

Sen. Landrieu voted with Obama 95 percent of the time in 2011, 98 percent of the time in 2010 and 97 percent of the time in 2009.

This is the same president who promised that nothing in his proposals would “raise the deficit by a single time” more than 12 times.

For the rest of the Obama administration, 2014 could be a bad year.

Many conservatives are concerned over liberal success regarding the stimulus package, immigration, healthcare reform,

Bill meant to balance budget shows political posturing SHARE THE WEALTH JAY MEYERS Columnist Political posturing reached a state of frenzy Feb. 6 when the GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill requiring President Obama to submit a budget that balances the government’s books.

While Republicans said the bill is designed to pressure the White House into dealing with our nation’s deficit problems, Democrats called the legislation a political gimmick.

My first impression after hearing this was it now seemed clear House Republicans had failed eighth grade civics class, as the United States Constitution delegates the responsibility of the budget to Congress, not the President.

It’s called The Require a Plan Act. “The Require a Plan Act is another common sense step towards getting Washington on the path to a balanced budget and giving American families the certainty and transparency that they deserve,” said Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson.

On the surface, it seems logical that our government — like any family — should live within its means. It is tempting to think

ISAAC BREKKEN / The Associated Press

House Republicans criticize President Obama for not developing a balanced budget.

According to the Constitution, this responsibility falls to Congress.

that if only we could come up with some clever budgetary solution, fiscal prudence will follow.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, and this legislation won’t help solve our current fiscal dilemma.

Implementing a balanced budget amendment would not only fail in its objective to

discipline government, but also impose potentially catastrophic side effects to our economy.

First, a balanced budget amendment would encourage elusion and distortion.

Most states have laws or constitutional provisions that favor a balanced budget, which has “driven a lot of activity into

independent authorities,” said former director of the Congressional Budget Office Rudolph Penner in a statement before the House Budget Committee in 2011.

Essentially, states are able to “cook the books” and make it appear as if they are complying with their balanced budget mandate.

Put in concrete terms, the U.S. has more than 30,000 independent agencies and off-budget accounts at the state and local level that are not subjected to a balanced budget requirement, according to the 2010 census.

So, if states use budget gimmicks and accounting tricks to evade their balanced budget requirements, what’s stopping the federal government from doing such a thing?

Perhaps the strongest argument against a balanced budget amendment is how it would force the government to worsen an economic slump.

During a recession, people get laid off. This causes both tax revenues to fall and incomes to decline.

Alternatively, government spending increases during a recession because of unemployment insurance and other benefits.

These above-mentioned automatic stabilizers can, in fact, turn budget surpluses into budget deficits. A balanced budget amendment would force

Congress to raise taxes and cut spending, which would further prolong the recession.

To anyone other than a conservative zealot, it is obvious this mechanism would inevitably make our economic downturns much worse.

Even most right-leaning economists will acknowledge the appropriate reaction to an economic slump is to allow the deficit to expand, first by allowing the automatic stabilizers to kick in, then by lowering taxes or increasing spending to re-stimulate the economy.

OK, what conclusion can be draw from these insights?

The Require a Plan Act is the most convoluted method for going about to reduce the budget deficit — and it probably won’t even work.

House Republicans passed this bill strictly because it was advantageous to do so. It makes them look genuine. It makes them the party of common sense reform. It makes them the good guys.

They shouldn’t be taken seriously.
