INTERNATIONAL Supporters mourn death of Chavez as coffin carried through streets CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — By the hundreds of thousands, Hugo Chavez’s tearful supporters carried their dead president through streets still plastered with his smiling image, an epic farewell to a largerthan-life leader remembered simply as “our commander.” In a display of raw, and at times, unruly emotion, generations of Venezuelans, many dressed in the red of Chavez’s socialist party, filled Caracas’ streets Wednesday to remember the man who dominated their country for 14 years before succumbing to cancer. European Union fines Microsoft $733M for breaking browser pact AMSTERDAM (AP) — The European Union has fined Microsoft $733 million for breaking a pledge to offer personal computer users a choice of Internet browsers when they install the company’s flagship Windows operating system. The penalty imposed by the EU’s executive arm is a first for Brussels. No company has ever failed to keep its end of a bargain with EU authorities before. In 2009, Microsoft struck a broad settlement to resolve disputes over the company’s abuse of the dominance of Windows.

The U.N. Security Council demanded their immediate and unconditional release. The capture comes a week after the announcement that a member of the peacekeeping force is missing.

Intern-volunteer fatally mauled by lion at private wild animal park
Six environmental groups sue Coast Guard over information requests
DUNLAP, Calif. (AP) — A female intern-volunteer was killed Wednesday by a lion at a private wild animal park in Central California, the founder of the facility said. Cat Haven founder and executive director Dale Anderson cried as he read a one-sentence statement about the fatal mauling at the exotic animal zoo he has operated since 1993. The intern was attacked and killed when she entered the lion’s enclosure, he said. Study: States with most gun control laws have fewest gun-related deaths
(AP) — Six environmental groups are suing the U.S. Coast Guard, challenging a denial of two Freedom of Information Act requests about response to an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The Advocate reports the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic filed a complaint Tuesday in federal court in the District of Columbia on the groups’ behalf. It asks the court to force the Coast Guard to release the information requested in 2011 about leaking wells 11 miles from Louisiana’s coast.
CHICAGO (AP) — States with the most gun control laws have the fewest gun-related deaths, according to a study that suggests sheer quantity of measures might make a difference. But the research leaves many questions unanswered and won’t settle the debate over how policymakers should respond to recent high-profile acts of gun violence. In the dozen or so states with the most gun control-related laws, far fewer people were shot to death or killed themselves with guns than in the states with the fewest laws, the study found.

The city is planning a $250,000 social media and marketing campaign to warn teens that they risk hearing loss from listening to music players at high volume, health officials said Wednesday. It’s the latest in a slate of efforts on Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s watch to urge New Yorkers to eschew unhealthy habits.

(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal dodged questions about whether he’ll visit the site of a massive sinkhole that has swallowed nine acres of land in swampy Assumption Parish. Residents displaced since August have criticized the governor for having never traveled to see the sinkhole or speak with the families. Asked Wednesday if he’ll go to the site, Jindal said he gets constant updates from state agencies overseeing response efforts. He pledged to hold Houston-based Texas Brine accountable for the damage and to make sure people are compensated for their losses.

He said he expects a large waiting list because any high school student who is accepted into the program but ends up meeting the University standards before graduation will be admitted, and their position in the program will be replaced with a prospective student from the waiting list. “One of the unique things about this bridge program is the fact that we have a reverse transfer of credit that has been embedded into this program,” said Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at BRCC Monique Cross. Cross said after students complete 30 hours at BRCC and 30 hours at LSU, they will be eligible to receive an associate’s degree in their respective field while still pursuing a four-year degree. Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins said BRCC has been a success story that allows community college students to make a smooth transition to the University. “That was always the goal,” he said. President of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System Joe May said the partnership between BRCC and the University is important because of its effort to focus on students and a change in the business environment. “As recently as 1970, 75 percent of middle class jobs could be achieved with only a high school diploma,” May said. “We didn’t need that kind of pipeline we need today. Today, [that figure is] well below 40 percent and shrinking every single year.” Contact Jonathan Olivier at jolivier@lsureveille.com

One of the alternative ways to pay for the Scantrons and bluebooks would be for the College Councils to pay for the program. “We called a meeting on March 15 with all of the College Council presidents,” Cox said. “Each president has to vote if they would like to use the student dollars that they receive from tuition to go toward the Scantron initiative.” However, if the College Councils decide not to fund the program, Cox said he will use money from his contingency account — or surplus account — to fund the program. If the program is paid for via Cox’s contingency account, the number of available Scantrons and blue books would be limited, though it is unknown by how much. Cox said the program to provide free Scantrons and blue books was re-evaluated because of the increased demand for these items.
Local LGBT activist and 2011 University graduate Tucker Barry has been chosen to speak about the power of amateurs and their ability to create change at Saturday’s TEDxLSU event at the Reilly Theatre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. Barry plans to use personal experiences to talk about nonprofessionals who may not have years of experience but are still able to make a difference in their respective fields. Barry is familiar with local organizing as an amateur, particularly as a former president of Spectrum, the University’s LGBT organization, and co-founder of statewide nonprofit LGBT organizations Equality Louisiana and Louisiana Trans Advocates. Equality Louisiana is a statewide coalition of about 25 LGBT organizations, Barry said. The organization’s mission is to achieve equality for all LGBT people in Louisiana through the support of these organizations, according to the Equality Louisiana website. Barry said many people do not realize how many LGBT groups are active in the state, but Equality Louisiana helps to bring awareness to this number. “We count college groups as

equal to a statewide group because they are, and they should be,” Barry said. Louisiana Trans Advocates has chapters in cities across the state and connects transgender people and helps them share experiences. LTA also helps to educate healthcare professionals on the medical treatment of transgender people, Barry said. Barry is the current political director of Capital City Alliance, an organization that aims to improve the lives of Baton Rouge citizens of all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions. Spectrum President and biological engineering senior Kameron Kilchrist has known Barry since 2010. Kilchrist said it has been interesting to watch Barry’s growth from a student organization leader to a leader in the statewide movement for equality. He said Barry is one of the most dedicated people he knows within the local LGBT activist community. “It’s just really impressive to see someone so young doing so much,” Kilchrist said. Barry said people in the LGBT community outside of the University notice Spectrum and have created opportunities for college students to become active.
“I can’t overestimate college kids and how important they have been to the statewide movement,” Barry said. Barry was at first hesitant to participate in TEDxLSU and wanted to look into finding other LGBT activists who might do a better job, but said TEDxLSU curator Joey Watson was insistent. “Eventually, he was kinda just like, ‘This is an opportunity of a lifetime, you’re not supposed to say no,’” Barry said. TED is a nonprofit organization founded in 1984 devoted to “ideas worth spreading,” according to its website. The TED Conference takes place each spring in Long Beach, Calif., and the global conference is held every summer in Edinburgh, Scotland. TEDx is the localized, self-organized version of TED, although it is guided by the TED Conference. “I knew about TED, but I knew less about TEDx events and the local, independently organized ones,” Barry said. “I actually really like that concept of local organizing.”

New commission strives to expand food access More than 75,000 reside in food deserts
East Baton Rouge Parish Food Deserts
Olivia McClure Contributing Writer
Louisiana may be known for its cuisine, but more than 75,000 East Baton Rouge Parish residents are cut off from fresh, affordable foods. They live in one of the parish’s seven food deserts — low-income pockets that are more than a mile away from the nearest grocery store. However, a new 13-member commission is working to develop ways to improve the food supply to those deserts. Broderick Bagert, lead organizer for Together Baton Rouge, said the commission was born after Together Baton Rouge, a nonprofit made up of about 40 local religious and civic organizations, heard community members talking about the need for more healthy and reasonably priced foods in their neighborhoods. The community’s initiation of the commission is significant because it means people are not waiting on the government or outsiders to solve problems, he said. The commission brings together business, academic, research, policy and nonprofit interests, including the LSU AgCenter, that may have never otherwise sat down to discuss food deserts, Bagert said. Together Baton Rouge will lead efforts to advocate for and implement the commission’s recommendations to state and local government as well as private entities. “Our commitment is to make sure whatever is recommended doesn’t just sit on the shelf,” Bagert said. Bagert said 10 years from now, the landscape of East Baton Rouge Parish’s food deserts will hopefully have changed completely. Achieving this would require drawing attention to the issue across the parish and taking it seriously, just as development projects for places like Perkins Rowe have been. “We’re saying, let’s take development of these communities as seriously as some of the communities that are doing pretty well,” Bagert said. Kenneth Koonce, commission member and University College of Agriculture dean, pointed out that residents who live in food deserts are not completely without food because they usually have access to small convenience stores. The tradeoff, however, is affordable prices for foods that are usually processed and less nutritious, he said. “They’re economically deprived but yet they overeat and become obese,” Koonce said. “Well, what are they eating? They’re eating low-quality food, non-healthy foods. High

In the above map, the dark gray portions represent areas within one mile of a grocery store. The red-shaded portions represent areas with a poverty rate greater than 20 percent. The red-bordered portions represent USDA food deserts.
Still, Koonce said supermarkets will have to have an economic incentive to expand their operations to food deserts. In East Baton Rouge Parish, the links between food deserts, poverty and crime may be key as well. “These food deserts are directly correlated with poverty,” Koonce said. “What else is correlated with poverty? Crime.” Koonce said while the food deserts will not “end up being a Kenilworth subdivision when we finish with this,” help from the community will amplify the commission’s efforts to improve food access. The community will also benefit because people with healthy food are generally more successful and become productive citizens, Koonce said. Another potential roadblock lies in the fact that food desert residents do not necessarily want to buy healthy foods or care
about being able to do so, Koonce said, because they are accustomed to low-quality processed foods. Koonce said nutrition education programs such as those conducted by the LSU AgCenter in schools could help. Additionally, attitudes toward food may shift once grocery stores become an integrated part of the community, he said. Koonce said it is “very appropriate” that he, the College of Agriculture and the AgCenter are involved with the commission because agriculture is all about food. “It’s not just about growing the food, it’s about processing the food, making it as healthy as possible and getting it to the consumer,” Koonce said.

Professor writes book on white racial identity Book helps teachers refine teaching styles Camille Stelly Contributing Writer
Assistant professor of elementary education and foundations Kenneth Varner is challenging American teachers to rethink their racial identities — but not the teachers most might expect. Varner’s most recent book, “Working Through Whiteness: Examining White Racial Identity and Profession with Pre-Service Teachers,” a journey into finding white racial identity, argues the importance of teachers finding their own racial identities in order to develop better teaching styles. “We need to figure out who we are and how our experiences shape the world,” Varner said. “[If] we do that, we can be open to seeing how the intersections of my identity meet up with the identity of people I am going to work with.” Assistant Director for the School of Education Roland Mitchell said the research Varner is doing on white racial identity is imperative to the development of the next generation. “If we look at the infrastructures of society, those were decisions made by white people,” Mitchell said. “White teachers must understand their proximity to other groups.” According to Varner, white teachers make up 80 to 90 percent of the teaching force in the United States, while the majority of students they teach are not white. He argues that the first step in learning how to deal with groups of people from different backgrounds is for teachers to understand their own identity. “I am challenging the assumption about white racial identity,” Varner said. “We typically view in developmental ways.” Varner has proposed that instead of viewing white racial identity in developmental terms, it should be viewed as something that exists with many components that manifest ultimately into white racial identity. “Two white people may look similar with similar components, but there are differences and the differences become interesting,” Varner said. “So it is a sociological model.” Varner referred to his mentor, Gloria Ladson-Billings, assistant vice chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who spoke on the idea that every person is a byproduct of slavery. “If we wear cotton shirts or eat
sugar, we benefit from an industry created on the backs of slave labor,” Varner said. “So every white person in the United States has an obligation to think about their identity. How are they privileged? Where are spaces where they go, where their privilege happens and they are not aware of it?” For teachers who are going to teach students with different racial identities, they must be aware of how they see race because it influences how they interact and work with children, Varner said. “There is a belief that students need to be molded and fixed and need a clear idea about the world,” Mitchell said. “But teachers must first do soul searching about themselves before they enter an educational setting.” For some minority students, they have not felt a racial misunderstanding with their white teachers, however. “I have never felt a disconnect with my teachers,” said education sophomore Britini Wells. “And the majority of my teachers have been white. I’ve always gone to schools where it’s been very diverse or mostly white. From my experience, they have taken more interest in my education.” Communication studies junior Danyelle Mackie said most of her teachers have been white, but she never felt disconnected because of race. “I felt more connected to them because they have offered me the most help,” Mackie said. Varner draws on personal experiences to develop his theory on what white racial identity is, crediting his experiences growing up and teaching in Rochester, N.Y., as a driving force in developing his theories on race. The tension around race has been present throughout Varner’s life, he said, from going to school with kids and having teachers of different races to coming home to parents who struggled with their own views on race. That has helped him realize race is a part of his life like it is a part of every one else’s life, Varner said. “The point of the book, in terms of white racial identity, is a lifelong project for everybody around race and identity,” Varner said. “I am interested in white racial identity because I have experience with it and I have lived through it.”

Battle of the Bands competition last October. Levee Daze will be followed by rapper YelaWolf. Grace Potter, who normally performs with her band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, will perform solo after YelaWolf. Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco, who is often known as a politically controversial figure, will headline the 2013 Groovin’ event. The overall cost of the event is approximately $200,000, according to Student Government President Taylor Cox. Cox said the event is being paid for with student fees, through the Spring Concert Fee and through significant sponsorship packages from outside sources. Cox said Groovin’ is one of his favorite events put on by SG. “It’s not just an event that LSU students can enjoy,” Cox said. “It’s an event open to the entire Baton Rouge community.” Cox said Groovin’ is one of the SG initiatives he is most proud of. Stephanie Holloway, kinesiology junior, said she is most excited for Lupe Fiasco’s performance. “I’m definitely planning on attending this event,” Holloway said. “I’m a junior and haven’t been to a Groovin’ on the Grounds yet, so I really want to go this year.” Samantha Baldassan, kinesiology sophomore, said she is also excited about the concert. “I didn’t go last year,” Baldassan said. “But I absolutely plan on going this year.”

of taking the virginity of a sorority woman,” according to the document’s first sentence. On Aug. 30, 2012, a new, unnamed member of the fraternity completed the assignment, supplying a video of the sorority woman involved for evidence, which was shared with the Pledge Educator and other chapter members, according to the document. The victorious pledge was told to purchase spray paint to paint the lion statues the colors of the sorority woman’s chapter’s colors. The tradition dates back to at least 2009, and it was discovered the lions were also painted in 2010 and 2012, according to the document. The investigation led to surfacing of other hazing incidents in past years. During the 2011 new member period, new SAE members were forced to partake in “physical activities, including, but not limited to, calisthenics, bows and toes, wall sits and military-style workout sessions,” which were typically held on Sundays from 10 p.m. until 2 or 3 a.m. A full house cleanup occurred at the end of each session. Additionally, new members were directed to purchase “tobacco products, lighters, condoms, velcro tennis shoes and yellow men’s trousers.” The same members were also required to be on call around the clock at the chapter house for the purpose of personal servitude. At least two new members were oncall in shifts.
The fraternity’s national organization confirms the aforementioned charges and also found that members in past years were forced to sit in ice baths and required to learn and recite the “True Gentleman,” a creed describing how gentlemen should behave. Part of the recitation states that the true gentleman is the man “who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.” “Sigma Alpha Epsilon will not tolerate hazing or behavior that violates risk-management policies or the general guidelines for chapter operations,” said Brandon E. Weghorst, associate executive director of communications at the national headquarters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in a statement to The Daily Reveille in January. “The organization expects its chapters to adhere to stringent policies and practices that help our members become gentlemen and leaders and to live up to our creed and principles.” The fraternity’s national organization website states that SAE maintains a zero-tolerance policy for hazing and is one of the sponsors of the national, anonymous anti-hazing hotline at 1-888-NOTHAZE. THE BIGGER PICTURE According to a national study titled “Hazing in View: College Students at Risk,” conducted by Elizabeth Allan, Ph.D. and Mary Madden, Ph.D. from the University of Maine, 55 percent of college students involved in clubs, teams and
The Daily Reveille organizations experience hazing. The same study reports that as of Feb. 12, 2010, the number of recorded hazing, pledging or rushingrelated deaths in fraternities and sororities tallies at 96 — 90 males and six females. Also, students who identified their experience as hazing in 95 percent of cases did not report the events to campus officials. LSU’s chapter was given two options in handling the allegations against the student organization’s misconduct, pursuant to the University’s Policy Statement 52. The president or designated officer may opt for an administrative decision by the Office of the Dean of Students, or the matter can be referred to a University Hearing Panel, consisting of one student, one faculty member and the Vice Chancellor for Student Life, for resolution. On behalf of SAE, Patrick Fitzsimmons requested an administrative decision, rather than taking the issue to a panel. RESULTS The fraternity’s ban from campus will continue through Dec. 31, 2014, and no request for reinstatement of registration will be considered before Jan. 1, 2015. Several other terms of the removal were listed. When and if the organization does return to campus, the chapter must be under the direction of an Alumni Commission, which will be trained by the national organization and will not include any of the advisers or members of the undergraduate chapter from 2011
Thursday, March 7, 2013 to 2013. “A representative from the national organization must be in resident from the formation of the colony through the chartering of the chapter,” according to the outcome statement. “The purpose will be to ensure that the chapter institutes the policies, procedures and protocols of the national organization to include, but not limited to, internal management as well as adherence to new member education policies.” This incident isn’t the first occurrence of hazing by SAE members. George Desdunes, a 19-yearold pre-med student and new member of Cornell University’s SAE chapter, died during a fraternity ritual in 2011, according to a The New York Times article. Three former members were accused of making Desdunes drink excessive amounts of alcohol during an induction ritual but were found not guilty. The article describes how Desdunes and another member of the fraternity were blindfolded, bound and quizzed about the fraternity’s history. A wrong answer meant the new members had to drink vodka, which continued until Desdunes passed out and eventually died. Though the individual members were found innocent, the fraternity itself was charged and found guilty of hazing and other violations, resulting in its chapter at Cornell being disbanded, according to the Times’ article.

The LSU Foundation is a private entity, however, which would generally mean that its records are not public domain. “Even though the LSU Foundation is private, the Board of Supervisors is public and the president position is public,” she said. “They hold records for public positions.” Gallo cited transparency and public scrutiny as reasons to request the release of the potential candidates’ names. “I think it would generate more interest in the search to see a concrete list of names. Right now, the people interested are administrators and faculty members,” she said. “Students don’t seem to care, but if you gave them a list of names and you research those names and someone on that list has a bad name or record, students will start caring.” Gallo said the same would be the case if the name of a known and respected potential leader for the University arose. “It’s important for the public to be able to look at these names and offer its input on who these people are and if they should be running the LSU System,” she said. “The people making this decision shouldn’t only be high-ranking officials who work at LSU.

SOFTBALL
Tigers use unusual practice methods Torina employs ‘toys’ in training Spencer Hutchinson Sports Contributor
Foot boxes, balance beams and “spinners” aren’t standardissue softball equipment. But for the LSU softball team, they’re as standard as the bat and glove. Since coach Beth Torina arrived before the 2012 season, the Tigers have incorporated what they refer to as “toys” into their everyday practices. In fact, a normal practice session for the Tigers might feature more toys than
actual softball equipment. Don’t think the toys are for play, though. Balance beams predictably enhance balance. Weighted balls increase wrist strength. Foot boxes enforce proper form. Senior pitcher Rachele Fico and the Tiger pitchers each have their own favorites, but each toy is specifically tailored to promote better form or performance in some aspect of the pitch. Fico has seen effects of the Tigers’ gadgets first hand. Fico said the transition from former coach Yvette Girouard to Torina was difficult at times because the team had to learn Torina’s new drills.
But now in her second season under Torina, Fico doesn’t pitch without the toys. “I use a weighted ball, a big ball, a spinner and a foot box,” Fico said. “I use cords on my feet and a balance beam. I love the variety of things and how they can each target a different problem.” Early in Fico’s career, she was called for many illegal pitches because she was improperly dragging her trail leg during pitches. Two weeks after the Tigers started practice in Torina’s first season, the new coach introduced her to the foot box. Within a few bullpen METHODS, see page 14

two distinct classes: flat and fences. Flat classes are done with anywhere from five to 12 horses in the ring, while fences only show one horse per round. Each type of show poses its own challenges, but many riders believe flat is more difficult. “[During fences] all you have to do is execute all of the jumps in order,” said animal science freshman Faith Meyers. “If you just stay in the background in flat, you won’t do well. The number of people in the ring really forces you to show yourself off.” The equestrian club leads its region by a large margin and hosts the final shows of the regular season this weekend at the BREC Farr Park Equestrian Center, something the members are thankful for. “There is definitely a home field advantage,” Kuder said. “By [Saturday] we will have ridden almost every horse at the show.” A win this weekend would clinch the region and send the club to the Zone 7 championship in Amarillo, Texas on April 6 to compete for a spot at IHSA Nationals, something it just missed last year after finishing third.

TENNIS
LSU plans new tennis facility Trey Labat Sports Contributor
The LSU tennis team is currently the only program in the Southeastern Conference without access to on-campus indoor training facilities, but that will soon change. LSU is planning to build a new tennis complex that will include six indoor courts, 12 outdoor courts and a bigger viewing area for fans. The current stadium — W.T. “Dub” Robinson Stadium — has hosted the team’s home matches since 1976, and compared to other tennis facilities throughout the SEC, is outdated. LSU men’s coach Jeff Brown and LSU women’s coach Julia Sell both cited being able to practice on campus on rainy days as major benefits they expect to reap from the new facility. Indoor courts often play faster than outdoor courts and the wind factor is eliminated, allowing for more accurate shots. Brown said the changes call for a more aggressive strategy, one the Tigers aren’t comfortable executing without practice. “We lost our first two SEC matches this year when we went indoors,” said LSU sophomore Chris Simpson. “We lost all of our indoor matches last season as well, so the experience of playing on indoor courts would definitely help with that.” Brown also said the new complex will help for players who stay in Baton Rouge during the summer to train. “During the fall and spring semesters, there is a limit on how much we can practice during the week,” Brown said. “Over the summer, though, if a player comes to us to practice, we can work as long as we want, something you can’t do outside during Louisiana summers.” Sell disagreed with the sentiment, saying, “The hotter it is, the better,” before cracking a sly smile. Sell did agree the new facility would go a long way in improving the program, though. The new complex will have another added effect: drawing in recruits to the program. The Lady Tigers are bringing the highest-ranked recruiting class in team history for next season, and while the addition of a brand-new coaching staff certainly helped, the new facility played a large part. Brown said the recruits will be able to come to the facility during on-campus visits and know tennis is a valued sport at LSU. “It’s monumental for the program,” Sell said.

Goodell should dread an on-field death THE SMARTEST MORAN JAMES MORAN Sports Contributor A player dying on the football field is one of Roger Goodell’s greatest fears in life, according to unnamed sources cited in a profile written by ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. on the NFL commissioner. League spokesman Greg Aiello said he did not give much credence to the story, and that in 24 years of working with Goodell, he has never heard him say anything like that. I don’t know whether to believe Aiello or Van Natta Jr., but either way, my advice to Goodell is simple: be afraid. Be very afraid. An on-field player death could very well deliver a kill shot to the NFL and the sport of football as we all know it. I know fans love to romanticize football players as anything from warring soldiers to gladiators, but seeing one die on national television would be too much for even the most bloodthirsty fan. The league is already staring down the barrel of billions of dollars in lawsuits from former players claiming they suffered concussions and brain damage. An on-field death could tack a couple more zeros on those suits. All the new player safety rules, research studies and NFL Evolution commercials in the world would not be enough for the sport to recover. Former football players have died from football, but never on the field. Former All-Pro linebacker Junior Seau was found dead in

his home May 2, 2012, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Despite having no official history of concussions, Seau’s family decided to donate his brain tissue to the National Institute of Health to test for possible brain damage caused by CTE. The results were exactly what the league feared. The family released the findings Jan. 10, from multiple independent and government researchers who determined Seau’s brain showed
definite signs of CTE consistent with an individual receiving multiple head injuries. Two weeks later, Seau’s family filed suit against the league. This story was bad news for football, but it isn’t a death blow to the sport because no one saw it happen. No one saw Seau’s personality change, no one saw his damaged brain and, most importantly, no one saw him die. The closest thing we have
seen to a death on the football field was former Bills tight end Kevin Everett being transported motionless off the field with a spinal injury during the first week of the 2007 season. It was a scary, gut-wrenching sight, but Everett survived and eventually regained his ability to walk. Goodell would invite him to watch the Super Bowl in his private box. If a player died on the field, there would be no recov- ‘I have to tell ery, no photo you, if I had a shoot with the son, I’d have to commissioner and no heart- think long and warming fol- hard before I low-up story. let him play “I have to football.’ tell you, if I had a son, I’d Barack Obama have to think U.S. President long and hard before I let him play football,” President Barack Obama told The New Republic in its Feb. 11 edition. I would too. The future of football comes down to how long parents decide to let their children keep playing the sport, and every time they read a story on brain trauma or watch a helmet-to-helmet hit, that decision becomes a little bit more difficult. An on-field death could kill the NFL and football, but it should not be Goodell’s greatest fear. What happens if instead of a professional athlete, the deceased player on the field is a child?

The Tigers would tack on two more runs in the sixth and eighth innings, completing the rout of Sacred Heart (0-5). LSU went with a different approach on the mound Wednesday night, starting a reliever for its second mid-week game. Junior Nick Rumbelow (1-0) took the mound to start the contest for the Tigers, going two innings and striking out two hitters. After Rumbelow left the mound, LSU coach Paul Mainieri turned to freshmen Hunter Newman and Hunter Devall, who combined to toss five innings of one-run baseball. Both relievers also added seven strikeouts to the team total, allowing only five hits in the process. “I was a little nervous tonight going into the game, because I knew after Rumbelow we were going to go with freshman pitchers, and we had to try to get to the eighth inning with the young kids, and you never know how they’re going to handle the bright lights,” Mainieri said. “It was nice that they could pitch with a little bit of a cushion there.”
BASEBALL, from page 9 Tigers’ lead. “It was huge,” said freshman shortstop Alex Bregman. “Every guy up there battled, and we needed that. The second inning has been our inning recently.” LSU (12-1) had a 6-0 advantage by the end of the second inning. “We were seeing the ball well,” Katz said. “We kind of got a mentality of hitting the ball hard to right field. We started eliminating the inside part of the plate and hitting everything to the right side. We had a lot of really good at-bats after that.” The two players who started the initial scoring rally, Rhymes and Katz, both extended their hitting streaks to 11 games. Rhymes’ 1-for-4 effort raised his batting average to .396 this season, while Katz’s 1-for-3 day at the plate left him at .333 on the year. Katz wasn’t aware that he and his fellow senior were in a heated hit-streak battle until questioned about it after the game, and he quickly became eager to fill Rhymes in. “If I had to put my money on it, I’d probably put it on Raph,” Katz said. “That’s a cool little thing. I’m sure there’s probably going to be something said about it now. In fact, I’m probably going to go talk some smack in the locker room in a bit.” The offensive surge continued in the fifth inning, as

Thursday, March 7, 2013 But once the pitchers step into the pitching circle on game day, Fico said there’s no danger from flying wild pitches. The theory? If a pitcher can pitch off a balance beam, she can definitely pitch on solid ground. Freshman Kellsi Kloss said it’s not just the pitchers who utilize Torina’s wacky ways. Flat gloves, weighted bats and varying styles of softball are common in fielding practice as well. As she is new to the program, most gadgets Kloss uses in practice are foreign, but for her, Torina’s unusual methods are “a breath of fresh air.”
“She didn’t play too long ago, so she’s very familiar with our style of play,” Kloss said. “I think that’s an advantage for us, that she relates to us very well, and her style of coaching is very modern.” To anyone unfamiliar to the Torina’s approach, the gadgets and gizmos may seem nonsensical, but as long as the No. 12 Tigers (17-4) continue one of the best starts to a season in their history, it’s doubtful the toys are going anywhere soon.

In one bullpen session while hurling riseballs off a balance beam, Fico may launch a handful of balls past the backstop and into the parking lot.

CAN’T MISS Earl Sweatshirt
Best Coast
(6:45-7:30 p.m. Friday, Ballroom) Known as the once-missing member of the notorious Odd Future gang, Earl Sweatshirt is often credited as the best rapper in the collective, and he’s set to make a huge debut this year. His show is sure to be something to remember, as the last time Odd Future members showed up in New Orleans, a photographer got punched in the face.
(9:15-10:15 p.m. Friday, Ballroom) Bethany Consentino, better known by her stage name Best Coast, is on my list of Buku must-sees simply for her sheer originality. Reminiscent of The Moldy Peaches, but with better instrumentation and a softer voice, Best Coast is a clear standout from the electronic acts taking over Buku. If you want a break from the many DJ sets you’re attending, head over to Best Coast’s set.
Kendrick Lamar
(7:15-8:15 p.m. Saturday, Power Plant) Kendrick Lamar has earned his status as possibly the hottest up-and-comer on the rap scene right now, and his Buku set could go down as one unforgettable stop on the tour of world domination ahead of him. Don’t miss the chance to catch him spitting one of the best albums of 2012. And whatever you do, don’t kill his vibe.
Passion Pit
(8:45-10 p.m. Saturday, Power Plant) I’ve had a love affair with Passion Pit since I heard “Sleepyhead” on a mixtape during a road trip from Jackson, Miss., to Austin, Texas. Known for its notoriously energetic sets, the band is on my list of Buku must-sees because it mixes electronic qualities with acoustic sounds, something distinctive in the scope of Buku artists.
Alt-J
Icona Pop
(7:15-8 p.m. Saturday, Ballroom) UK art-rockers Alt-J (or ∆, which is what results after typing Alt then “J” on a keyboard) were champions of 2012, with the band’s debut album “An Awesome Wave” making an actual giant wave among critics and fans alike. Alt-J’s sound is hard to pin down, but fans of Radiohead and even more bass-centric artists will love this group’s hybrid style.
(5:15-6 p.m. Saturday, Ballroom) The Swedish synth-pop duo has been blowing up the radio lately with its single “I Love It,” and its show promises to be just as full of chestpounding beats and unapologetic swagger. Bring your Clubmasters and combat boots and be prepared to shout along with one of the most effortlessly cool pop acts to come out of Europe since Robyn.
HIDDEN TREASURES Japandroids
(8-8:45 p.m. Friday, Ballroom) If you can listen to Japandroids’ 2012 monster “The House That Heaven Built” without feeling any emotion, congratulations on surviving without a heart. Japandroids sounds bigger than two Canadian dudes, and it’s crazy the band hasn’t exploded on the radio yet. Expect a high-energy, fist-pumping good time.
CONFLICTS
Zedd
(12:15-1:30 a.m. Friday, Float Den) I must confess I hadn’t even heard of the German electronic dance music producer Zedd until earlier this week. Even if you’ve never heard of him, Zedd definitely merits a listen for his enthusiastic, crowd-driven shows. Known for intense crowd interaction, Zedd is sure to be an exciting show for audience members, featuring remixes of well-known acts such as Lady Gaga and Skrillex.
Every music festival fan faces the same problem: schedule conflicts. Buku presents some heartbreaking dilemmas, and even though we at The Daily Reveille still haven’t decided, maybe this will help — or make it even harder.

(9:15-10:30 p.m., Float Den) · Opened for Radiohead and is loved by Thom Yorke · Live light show has become something of legend · One of the leading producers in the world right now. He’s the guy to beat.

(10:45-11:30 p.m. Saturday, Ballroom) You might not realize you know Dragonette, but you’ve definitely heard its Martin Solveig collab “Hello” in Trident commercials. The electro-pop outfit’s high-energy set of stick-in-your-head tunes will shoot a caffeine boost into the last stretch of your weekend. Check out my story on lead singer Martina Sorbara on page 18.

Kate Nash, “Girl Talk”
Thursday, March 7, 2013
CONTEST
Have 10P Records
Winner of Buku contest announced
English singer-songwriter Kate Nash’s third album, “Girl Talk,” is a big disappointment. Nash was one of the strongest UK artists to hit the music scene in the past few years. She was mostly known for her great voice and sassy lyrics. Unfortunately, those witty lyrics have been reduced to trite, whiny one-liners like, “I’m such a waste of space.” Most of the songs in “Girl Talk” remind me of Hole’s Courtney Love — and not in a good way. Nash’s beautiful voice is almost unrecognizable on some tracks. “Girl Talk” lacks the maturity and focus showcased in Nash’s previous albums. Unless you’re a huge Kate Nash fan, avoid it. Actually, even her biggest fans should probably avoid this album. Let’s hope she finds her voice on her next album. MARIE CHANEY
Readers submitted photos to The Daily Reveille showcasing how they were going to go Buku. The most outrageous and inspired costumes won a pair of two-day passes to the festival this weekend. The festival features performances by Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar, Public Enemy and Alt-J. Congratulations to the winner, Matthew Markert.

Waxahatchee, “Cerulean Salt”
Don Giovanni Records
Waxahatchee is the solo project of Kate Crutchfield, formerly of the warehouse punk band P.S. Eliot. Her sophomore release, “Cerulean Salt”, elegantly mixes acoustic croons with pop-punk power ballads reminiscent of the softer side of Tegan and Sara. With the opener “Hollow Bedroom,” Crutchfield nods to her punk roots with quiet vocals and high levels of distortion. She quickly segues to the next track, “Dixie Cups and Jars,” filled with louder vocals and more guitar, showing the range of the album. Even though the majority of the album consists of Crutchfield whining about her inconsistent love life, she does it in a way that doesn’t seem depressing, which makes the album seem upbeat and nearly poppy.

REBECCA DOCTER
How to Destroy Angels_, “Welcome to Oblivion” Columbia
On “Welcome to Oblivion,” former Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and company offer an uneven collection of atmospheric electronic pop. While these richly textured songs keep in line with Reznor’s high standards of production, Mariqueen Maandig’s vocals fail to command enough presence. The result in many songs is an anonymous and unfocused sound. At its best, the album is a fine example of well-crafted industrial soundscape with touches of various electronic genres. Unfortunately, the album is totally lacking in consistency, and the better tracks are left without any semblance of cohesiveness. With the poppier leanings feeling misguided, the album ends up seeming like a missed opportunity, as the instrumentals themselves are often quite nice. DANIEL CATALANELLO

Bastille, “Bad Blood”
EMI
Maybe it’s too early to pick out the best albums of the year, but Bastille’s debut LP “Bad Blood” is making a strong case for it. Opening track “Pompeii” will pull you into the album and keep your attention with heart-wrenching lyrics you won’t realize you needed to hear so badly until you’re screaming along to them on the fifth listen. Frontman Dan Smith has taken the masterful production he showed on his mixtapes and used it to craft an album that is technically gorgeous and complex while always staying accessible and infectiously listenable. Every track shows different sides of the band’s sound — tribal drums, synth beats, epic string orchestration, electronic melodies, haunting choruses and a Frank Ocean-esque ability to convey a flood of emotion and soul through pure, earnest, desolate vocals. “Bad Blood” is absolutely killer.

Jimi Hendrix, “People, Hell and Angels” Legacy
Jimi Hendrix is back. Not from the dead, but this week three posthumous Hendrix albums were released. The most notable of the three is “People, Hell and Angels,” comprised of a dozen songs that were recorded in 1968 and 1969. For big Jimi fans, this album does not disappoint. Most songs keep in touch with Hendrix’s smooth, languid style, reminiscent of “Castles Made of Sand” (a personal favorite). The best song on the record is hard to choose. “Crash Landing” has a funky sound that makes you want to get up and dance, but “Hey Gypsy Boy” sounds like something to listen to while lounging at a music festival. So put on your tie-dye T-shirts, grab your suede fringe vests and let Jimi takeover.
[B+] STORMY GOOD
EDITOR’S PICK: Youth Lagoon, “Wondrous Bughouse”
Fat Possum
There are some albums that will never break in to the Top 40. Youth Lagoon’s “Wondrous Bughouse” is one of those albums, but only because of how strange it is. Yet it’s one of the best albums of 2013 so far. Trevor Powers, the man behind Youth Lagoon, is a 20-year-old from Boise who recorded and arranged “Bughouse” himself, and he proves to be one of the smartest original songwriters out there. “Bughouse” requires multiple spins before it truly sinks in. But the potency of songs like “Dropla” and “Mute” are immediate. Powers packs emotion into every note while he explores subject matter people don’t really like to talk about. “Bughouse” is an insane trip, both uplifting and disturbing, but it’s worth the roller coaster ride. BRIAN SIBILLE Entertainment Editor It’s a masterpiece.

Gurung launches Target collection Noted fashion label Prabal Gurung has launched a budgetconscious collection for Target called Love. Released just in time for spring, the collection features Prabal Gurung’s signature whimsiSHAMIYAH cal, feminine KELLEY Fashion Columnist vibe with bright prints and vibrant flashes of color. In the past, Target did quite a few well-received designer collaboration collections. Within just days of its release, many items from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection sold out in stores throughout the nation and online. I was able to get a few dresses and tank tops. The dresses are fun and perfect for spring. There were elements of mesh insets, neons, floral prints, lace and leather accents. Needless to say, the collection is on trend and fashion forward. While the collection is chic, I did have some concerns. I had a hard time thinking of an occasion to wear some of the items. The dresses in particular were ultra-feminine to the point where the wearability factor eluded the collection. However, some of the tops offered a redeeming quality. A few tank tops in solid colors and fun, yet wearable prints would go well tucked into a bell skirt or a pair of tapered pants. In terms of quality, many of the pieces were constructed of 100 percent polyester. For the price point, the fabric could have been higher quality. However, it’s a moderate price compared to some previous Target designer collaboration collections. A few pieces are available at the Target Supercenter on Siegen Lane. The Prabal Gurung for Target collection items make for great statement pieces in an outfit. With price in mind, I recommend purchasing one or two pieces from the collection to avoid looking overly trendy.

Dragonette ready Mobley to play Spanish Moon singer feels for Buku festival Lead embraced by city Taylor Schoen Entertainment Writer

Dragonette will perform at 10:45 p.m. Saturday at the Buku Music and Arts Project on the Ballroom stage.
Martina Sorbara excited to perform Kaci Yoder Entertainment Writer
Mardi Gras World better get ready for a little fire-breathing this weekend. Dragonette, a three-piece electro-pop outfit from Canada, will be burning up crowds Saturday at Buku Music and Arts Project. The band’s biggest claim to fame may be its collaboration on Martin Solveig’s 2010 earworm “Hello,” but its latest album “Bodyparts” has helped put Dragonette on the map as spinners of stompy, energetic, catchy pop jams. At the center of it all is Martina Sorbara, a frontwoman with a sugary, yet strangely charming voice and a talent for kicking Dragonette’s sets into high gear. Over the phone, she sounds calm and collected, but on stage she likes to crank up the intensity. “I think my body almost shuts down before I go on stage because it’s like preserving energy,” Sorbara laughed. It’s not all bubblegum pop and sweetness, though. Live drums and bass back up Sorbara’s infectious energy with more of a rock-androll edge than your typical electro-pop act, rounding out Dragonette’s chick-driven, ass-kicking vibe. Nobody pens lyrics like, “I only live in this city ’cause this city can’t live without me” unless they’ve got a little moxie. Sorbara’s swagger has earned Dragonette comparisons to fellow Buku performers Icona Pop, which Sorbara looks forward to seeing this weekend. “I think there are some places where we overlap with Icona Pop,” Sorbara said. “I think that’s accurate for some of our stuff. It’s hard to be like, ‘Dragonette is a band
that sounds like X,’ just because we’re so unmarried to any particular style.” Dragonette definitely doesn’t seem concerned with the boundaries of their genre — “Bodyparts” ranges from ’80s throwbacks and slinky dance tracks to anthems for a girl power rampage. Sorbara, who also takes the creative lead in the band, blames a variety of influences for sending its sound in so many different directions. “It kind of goes all over the place. I get inspired by … other kinds of music, like, not our genre. Like country music or jazz music lyrics or something that takes my head out of the usual place it’s in when I’m writing,” Sorbara said. Because of Dragonette’s diverse catalogue, Sorbara said she gets more freedom to tell stories she hopes people find relatable. “The only thing that I try to do is get stuff out from the recesses of my mind, and I feel lucky to be able to have this medium,” Sorbara said. “I’m not the greatest communicator in the world, like, emotionally or otherwise, and I feel like writing songs is just the way that I communicate with something deeper inside of me.” No matter the sound, story or spin, Sorbara always enjoys delivering it with a punch in her performances. “It all depends on who’s there and what the audience is giving us, but mostly we just like to show everybody a good time and get them jumping around,” Sorbara said. Dragonette will hit the Ballroom stage at Buku Project at 10:45 p.m. this Saturday.

Mobley has been a ubiquitous name in the Baton Rouge music scene in recent years, despite not being local.

SAE incident should incite Greek community change THE C-SECTION CHRIS GRILLOT Opinion Editor The term “Southern Gentleman” and Greek fraternal affiliations are synonymous to some at the University. It’s easy to see why. Better men before them founded the organizations to promote brotherhood and service, and to some extent, they still do. But in recent years, fraternities have developed an overwhelming negative stigma because of national and local incidents involving everything from death to sex scandals. Thanks to a few monumental screw-ups, fraternity members are the only people who think positively of their organizations. Plus a few insecure sorority girls and a couple of dads proud their son joined a gigantic boyfriend club.
The problem hit home this year. The University ousted Sigma Alpha Epsilon in November for a slew of hazing charges culminating with a pledge fulfilling an SAE tradition: having sex with a virgin sorority girl then painting their notorious lions outside the fraternity house the sorority’s colors. On Aug. 30, 2012, an unnamed wannabe brother accomplished his mission and supplied a post-sex video, which he — as any gentleman would do — sent around. And a lot of people saw it. By a lot, I mean plenty people outside the fraternity were lucky enough to catch a glimpse. Several male writers at the Reveille, none of which are — or were — in SAE, got to see it or know someone who has it saved to his phone. The other, lesser charges involved complete stupidity. Pledges were required to do physical activities, purchase condoms and cigarettes and be on-call to do slave work for the older members. (Ironically,
pledges also had to recite SAE’s “True Gentleman” creed.) Fortunately, the University stood up to the hazing and banned SAE from campus until Dec. 31, 2014. This action should be the start of a larger push to hold students accountable for their actions, particularly with hazing, and for fraternities to clean up their reputations. I’ve personally seen the injuries — cuts, one incredibly large burn and bruises — tolerated by my own friends when they pledged their respective fraternities four years ago. “But it was an accident. They didn’t mean to do it,” was usually the explanation I was given. Then: “Don’t tell anyone.” None of the fraternities involved were ever disciplined. Why people allow themselves to be treated this way is beyond me. Essentially being at the will of a bunch of dictators for a semester is not something I think would interest people.
Maybe there is some sort of brotherhood formed when you hurt one another or make someone drink until he vomits uncontrollably. For the most part, I think it forms false friendships between people who, otherwise, wouldn’t like each other or wouldn’t hang out. And I think members — at least the ones with any moral or ethical foundation — are afraid of exposing what happens to them, or they justify the hazing as some sort of sadistic “tradition.” Like mentioned earlier, most fraternities haze is one form or another. For some, it’s fairly innocent and there’s no harm done, but for others, things get out of hand. We know it goes on, but we only hear about it when the “gentlemen” kill someone or send out videos bragging about taking a girl’s virginity. The University, as well as other higher education institutions, needs to crack down on the problem, instating harsher penalties on hazing and stopping it before another SAE
incident happens. Until then, all fraternities have to put up with a lousy reputation. You can thank SAE, others who have gone too far and Total Frat Move for most of that shame. But it should also be a call to do something to change the negative connotation that rolls off the tongue with the word “frat.” Even if nothing is done, there will still be a bunch of new imbecilic pledges coming out of high school year after year in search of endless booze and girls. Many will get hazed. Then the process will repeat. Over and over. And none of them will ever be gentlemen. Chris Grillot is a 21-year-old mass communication senior from New Orleans.

Former Smiths frontman condemns ‘Duck Dynasty’ SHUT UP, MEG MEGAN DUNBAR Columnist Louisiana takes a lot of flak in the mainstream media for being the second-most uneducated and backward puzzle piece of the South. Now Morrissey has jumped on the critical bandwagon. The former Smiths lyricist and vocalist tours on his own now, and recently refused to perform on the same episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as the members of the Louisiana-representing “Duck Dynasty.” He called the Robertson family “animal serial killers” and he couldn’t bear sharing airtime with them, as it went against his moral code. Geez, man. Can’t you chill out a little? He did write an entire album entitled “Meat is Murder,” and the title track features the lyrics “kitchen aromas aren’t very homely/It’s not comforting, cheery, or kind/It’s sizzling blood and the unholy stench/of murder.” So I guess he can’t, and

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, whose policies he disagreed with. In the song, he croons “Please die,” and calls her wished-for death a “wonderful dream.” So I suppose he only supports death if it’s for a reason, and nutrition, the natural cycle of the earth and family
tradition, are not good enough reasons. Elementary education junior Taylor Gamble also dislikes “Duck Dynasty.” Gamble said she finds the typical Southern shows offensive in their stereotypes and representations of solely negative views of the South. Then she equated “Duck Dynasty” to “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” “Honey Boo Boo,” though, is on a whole different level. It features a 7-year-old dressed up and coddled and put through the hoops of show business, whereas “Duck Dynasty” puts hardworking, funloving, family-oriented people on a pedestal. This is something our culture often forgets about in the wash of little girls with caked-on foundation growing up to attain American Idol-hood. As much as someone might hate hunting or flowing beards, it’s hard to deny the appeal of the down-to-earth Robertsons trying to turn a profit in today’s society while retaining tradition. “Duck Dynasty” is pretty low on my list of hurtful programming. It promotes family togetherness and finding humor in everyday life. The average American doesn’t get enough of that, and it

might serve Morrissey well to get off his high horse and recognize the establishment for what it is. Because Morrissey — don’t get me wrong — is a pretty depressing guy who likes to bring out the negative in everything he touches. And that’s OK, beside the fact that living life so uptight must take a toll on his nerves. But before he goes judging people based on their portrayal in a television show, or assumes their carnivorous ways are the worst thing on the earth next to Margaret Thatcher’s decisions, he should weigh his options. I just listened to some of his music on YouTube, and a commercial for some restaurant with pictures of succulent pork tenderloin came up just before it. Is he going to protest that? If so, good luck with his neuroses. Until then, Morrissey’s tactics aren’t winning him any new fans – especially not in the state of Louisiana.

Presidential candidates’ names should be public The Daily Reveille Editorial Board A public records request is gold to a journalist. On Wednesday, we used that gold four different times as we requested records detailing applicants for the LSU system president and chancellor position from current Interim System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins, LSU Board of Supervisors Chairman Hank Danos, the LSU Foundation and R. William Funk and Associates, the search firm contracted to help find candidates. We’re not quite sure what response to expect from LSU. The University rejected The Advocate’s request for these same records, the newspaper
reported Feb. 14, and said since the search was being conducted with private LSU Foundation money through a private search firm, public records law did not apply. The University’s Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope also said he would formally request that the names be made public, but LSU has not given in. Despite these two rejections, The Reveille believes it is important to go after these records ourselves, as public records law is clear and states that applicants vying for a public position should be made available to the public. While LSU claims releasing the names of
the finalists will lead to less qualified candidates, the finalists’ names for higher administration searches have been released in the past. This is about more than names — it’s about the way that the University wants to be perceived and about its future image with a re-vamped system. In its story about LSU rejecting its public records request, The Advocate reported that the University of Louisiana System released names, résumés and other information for the 16 candidates in its president search. The final decision in this battle could become quite interesting, depending on how
long each party goes on. We at The Reveille plan to continue to pursue these records using every resource available to us, even if the University initially rejects our request. A similar situation recently occurred at the University of Wyoming, which eventually released records containing presidential finalist names, according to the Student Press Law Center. SPLC reported that The Wyoming TribuneEagle, The Casper Star-Tribune and the Associated Press filed a lawsuit seeking the finalists’ names. A district court then ruled that the university had to release the names, but the university asked
the court to “alter or amend” the ruling in light of a new state law. The university then withdrew the motion, and the Board of Trustees agreed to release the names of the presidential finalists. If LSU truly wants to turn over a new leaf with the reorganization of the System, it should make a commitment to transparency and release the names of the finalists for the presidential search. LSU, as a public research university, should allow the public access to and the ability to comment on the presidential finalists. Contact The Daily Reveille Editorial Board at editor@lsureveille.com
Racial wealth gap increases, policies ineffective SHARE THE WEALTH JAY MEYERS Columnist We all know this story a bit too well, especially given what week it is. It’s 6 a.m. The jarring sound of your iPhone marimba alarm interrupts that magical, comalike state of sleep you were enjoying. This time, however, you can’t rationalize hitting the snooze button. It’s midterms week and you’ve got the biggest exam of the semester coming up in a few hours. Hakuna Matata. You prepared weeks in advance, now it’s purely a matter of reviewing the information for maximum retention. Through hard work and dedication, you have set yourself up for success. Meanwhile, a fellow classmate takes a more palatable but dishonest approach. In fact, this student inherited last year’s version of the test, so he or she is essentially guaranteed a good grade. Despite having put an inconsequential amount of effort into studying, that student makes a perfect score, while you land a respectable yet undesired “B.” Put another way, brains and hard work were not necessarily the determinants of success. More importantly, though, you were denied equality of opportunity, an idea that is central to our republic. Indeed, the United States likes to imagine itself as the quintessential embodiment of a meritocracy.
Unfortunately, an increasing amount of evidence gathered from economists suggests socioeconomic mobility — the ability for individuals to increase or decrease their income/ status group — has been significantly diminished in the U.S., with the most egregious disparities found among blacks and whites. The wealth gap between blacks and whites practically tripled over the past 25 years, according to a new study by the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University. Several conclusions can be drawn from this evidence. Certainly, many Americans still believe racial inequality is the result of “individual behavior, choices, character, marriage and child bearing,” says Thomas Shapiro, IASP director in the study. A focal point of right wing thought is the notion that the gap between both the rich and the non-rich largely reflects dissimilarities between individual effort and intuitive skill. This belief, however, poorly reflects reality and is merely conservative dogma. To be sure, homeownership, income, college education, inheritance and unemployment are the biggest factors causing such substantial increases in the racial wealth gap, the study determined. Most importantly, the study found “public policies play a major role in widening the already massive racial wealth gap, and they must play a role in closing it,” Shapiro said. So how can we fix this? American conservatives say the answer rests in promoting marriage. This is a fallacious inference, as the Brandeis study acknowledged that while

marriage is a contributing factor, its impact is quite small. Liberals, on the other hand, advocate income redistribution, taking from the rich and giving to the less well off. Likewise, this is a bad idea, because the government should not create disincentives on success. The Brandeis report provides a more rational solution. The report recommends that policymakers take action in strengthening and enforcing fair housing, mortgage and lending policies; raising the minimum wage and enforcing equal pay provisions; investing in high-quality childcare, early childhood development and education; and overhauling
preferential tax loopholes on dividends earnings. Basically, America needs to refocus on creating policies that foster our beloved meritocratic ideals. We need to ensure equality of opportunity, so everyone — rich or poor, black or white — has a shot at the top. Social mobility is, in fact, the key to what has made America the most attractive nation in the world and has resulted in our becoming the most influential global power. This makes sense. Who would want to live in a country where everyone is not given equal opportunity to acquire immense success, given
hard work and an entrepreneurial mindset? America is in a conceptually similar situation to the student with the midterm dilemma: In the end, people want to be rewarded for their hard work. If everyone isn’t on a relatively equal playing field, we will ultimately end up in a motivation-less society. Jay Meyers is a 20-year-old economics sophomore from Shreveport.
