A pursuit that began in West Baton Rouge Parish ended in the University Lake on Tuesday afternoon as a white Nissan Sentra
skidded off the road and flipped into the lake on West Lakeshore Drive in front of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house. The unidentified male driver was rescued and transported to a hospital in handcuffs.
Construction management freshman Jacob Nici said he was riding down sorority row with a friend when the crash occurred. After his friend pulled his truck over, Nici saw police struggling to free the man and jumped into the lake
to assist. “I could tell he was going to need help,” Nici said. “Once we were in the water, the glass wouldn’t break so I tried to get CAR, see page 11
A number of University administration positions remain vacant, despite efforts to name candidates to fill them. In the past year, deans of six colleges at the University and the dean of libraries have stepped down or have announced they plan to step down during the academic year. Some have chosen to retire, others have taken positions at other schools and some have taken up different positions within the University, according to University Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell. Of these seven positions, three interim replacements have been appointed. Additionally, four other positions in the University’s administration remain empty or will be within the next two semesters.

Dust clouds caused by sandstorms every year worry Caribbean scientists HAVANA (AP) — Each summer, microscopic dust particles kicked up by African sandstorms blow thousands of miles (kilometers) across the Atlantic to arrive in the Caribbean, limiting airplane pilots’ visibility to just a few miles and contributing to the suffering of asthmatics trying to draw breath. The phenomenon has been around as long as there’s been sand in the Sahara Desert. But it’s attracting ever more attention from regional scientists who say the clouds have grown, even if there’s no global consensus on the issue.
Swedish scientists say existence of new chemical element confirmed BERLIN (AP) — Scientists in Sweden say they have confirmed the existence of a new chemical element, but its name may need some work. Researchers at Lund University said Tuesday their find backs up claims by teams in Russia and the United States a decade ago that had remained unverified until now. The Swedish scientists say they conducted experiments which allowed them to detect the ‘fingerprint’ of the short-lived but super-heavy element that’s been dubbed ununpentium.

East Baton Rouge Parish schools may face state takeover this fall
BOSTON (AP) — Dramatic new photos show the Boston Marathon bombing suspect, his face bloodied, climbing out of a boat in a suburban backyard as heavily armed police officers wait for him to drop to the ground. Sgt. Sean Murphy took photos the April night police cornered Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a dry-docked boat in Watertown, just outside Boston. He wasn’t authorized to release the photos but said he was angry about a Rolling Stone magazine cover he felt glamorized Tsarnaev. Sandy Hook students return to school for new year after tragedy
Mounting tensions with Syria sink US stocks and raise oil prices
(AP) — Two Baton Rouge public schools are moving closer to possible state takeover this fall, and the East Baton Rouge Parish school system may go to court to stop that from happening. The Advocate reports the latest in the saga of Delmont Elementary and Mayfair Middle schools played out last week. The state on Thursday rejected, for a second time, the school system’s request to belatedly recognize the closing and reopening of these schools this past summer. Delmont is now an early childhood center, and Mayfair has become a small, selective elementary school modeled after the LSU Lab School.
NEW YORK (AP) — Fears of an escalating conflict in Syria rippled across financial markets on Tuesday, sinking stocks, lifting gold and pushing the price of oil to the highest in a year and a half. The increasing possibility of U.S. military strikes raised worries on Wall Street that energy trade in the region could be disrupted, raising fuel costs for consumers. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 170.33 points, or 1.1 percent, to 14,776.13, the lowest in two months.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former BP engineer claims newly disclosed transcripts show “serious, recurring defects” in the grand jury proceedings that led to his indictment on charges he deleted text messages and voicemails about the company’s response to its 2010 oil spill. Kurt Mix’s attorneys asked a federal judge on Monday to dismiss his indictment on two counts of obstruction of justice before a trial scheduled to start in December.
MONROE, Conn. (AP) — Therapy dogs and heightened security greeted Sandy Hook Elementary School students Tuesday as they began their first full year of school without the 20 children and six educators slain in the December massacre. “Things went well,” said Brenda Lebinski, whose 9-year-old daughter is starting fourth grade at the school. “There was a lot of police presence when we pulled in. There were lots of teachers and therapy dogs greeting the kids when they walked in.”

page 4 CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS Man, juvenile arrested for suspicion of burglary, illegally carrying weapons Jamal Akeial Clark, 18, of 2244 General Lee Ave., was arrested July 31 for illegally carrying weapons and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and a male juvenile, 16, was arrested and charged with illegally carrying weapons and later released. According to LSU Police Department spokesperson Capt. Cory Lalonde, officers observed Clark and the juvenile riding bikes near Nicholson Apartments. Upon seeing the officers, Clark and the juvenile were arrested after they attempted to hide a backpack containing bolt cutters and other tools often used in burglaries. Man arrested for possessing computer stolen from Lockett Hall Rodney L. Jones, 37, of 2248 Rhodes Ave., was arrested for possession of stolen property and issued a misdemeanor summons Aug. 5, Lalonde said.
After LSUPD received a report of a stolen computer from Lockett Hall on March 20, investigators used tracking software installed by the computer’s owner to identify Jones as a suspect. Jones said during questioning he bought the computer on the street several months earlier, but he no longer possessed it. Jones also assisted investigators in retrieving the computer.
Woman arrested for resisting arrest and possession of crack pipe Daisy Badolati, 51, was arrested Aug. 21 for an outstanding warrant from East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s office, resisting an officer by giving a false name and possession of drug paraphernalia. Lalonde said no address was available for Badolati. Alton Hills, 39, of 16563 Church St., Batchelor, La., was arrested on a fugitive warrant the same day, Lalonde said. An LSUPD officer observed the suspicious persons near South Stadium Drive and South Campus Drive and while making contact, learned that both had outstanding
warrants. The officer also found a pipe in Badolati’s possession. Both were arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Woman arrested for driving under suspension, not using child restraint Keiosha M. Turley, 24, of 1361 W. Grant St., was arrested Aug. 22 on a fugitive warrant for driving under suspension and not using a child restraint after being pulled over for running a red light. Turley was issued a citation for a red light violation, Lalonde said. Juvenile arrested for theft, burglary of phones from Union A male juvenile, 15, was arrested Aug. 22 for one count of burglary and one count of theft more than $500, Lalonde said. Following July 22 and Aug. 20 reports of stolen phones, investigators identified a suspect, whom they located Aug. 23 at his Baton Rouge residence. Although he was found in possession of only one of the stolen phones, he admitted to both thefts during
Wednesday, August 28, 2013 questioning. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Juvenile Detention Center. Two men arrested for slamming car doors into state vehicles Patrick D. Jones, 43, of 8153 Tuscaloosa Ave. in Port Allen, and Corey Charles Benoit, 43, of 22928 Sabine Drive in Denham Springs, were arrested Aug. 6 for simple criminal damage to property. Both received misdemeanor summons, Lalonde said. LSUPD received a report that Jones and Benoit were damaging state vehicles by slamming other vehicle doors into state vehicles. Both Jones and Benoit were arrested after they admitted to the allegations during questioning.

Free back to school concert postponed Headliner involved in vehicle collision Elizabeth Thomas Contributing Writer
Campus Life’s Back to School Concert is postponed after news that the show’s headliner and only performer, Jhene Aiko, sustained minor injuries from a vehicle collision Monday in Los Angeles. The annual concert was originally scheduled for Thursday on the Parade Ground, but
Assistant Director of Campus Life for Activities Craig Marcus said the new concert date will be rescheduled hopefully for later in the semester. The executive board will meet Thursday evening to determine the new date, which will depend on Aiko’s recovery timeline. “We don’t know her recovery time, but we’re working with her agent to identify a new date so she can still come to campus,” Marcus said. Aiko was treated for a broken wrist, chipped tooth and received stitches on her chin immediately
after the collision, according to a tweet from her Monday evening. She also posted a photograph on her Instagram account of herself giving a thumbs-up in a wheelchair with a sling on her right arm and a cut on her chin. Marcus said Campus Life was looking into booking student performers for the concert, but nothing has been finalized. Margo Jolet, associate director for marketing and

From Disaster to Deadlift Former LSU powerlifter overcomes extreme obstacles to find success
T
TOMMY ROMANACH · Sports Contributor
he premise of powerlifting is not hard to understand. It’s a sport of pushing the human body as far as possible to lift heavier and heavier weight. But for former LSU powerlifter Garrett “Bottesy” Bailey, the weight is not just what’s wrapped around the bar, but the one deep inside that nearly destroyed his life. In August 2005, Bailey, now a kinesiology senior, started eighth grade at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in New Orleans. But like so many others that month, his world was taken from him as Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home and took the lives of his friends. “At first [the evacuation] just felt like a vacation,” Bailey said “It never really hit me at the time that I’m never going back home.” Bailey’s family relocated to Baton Rouge, where he attended Southern Lab and eventually Baton Rouge High School. He longed for the friends who died or lost contact and Bailey said he fell into a funk he could not shake. “When he develops friendships, they’re pretty much for life,” said Will Bailey, Garrett’s father. “Losing these friends was like losing a part of his family.” By his sophomore year, Garrett Bailey had ballooned to 250 pounds, was diagnosed
as pre-diabetic and started to develop depression. But while a freak Category 3 hurricane appeared to have destroyed his life, an unlikely sport was about to help save it. A suggestion from a classmate led to Garrett Bailey joining the BRHS wrestling team. He developed a new interest, and before long, the interest became an obsession. “He just locked into the thing, he was almost possessed,” Will Bailey said. “When we saw him commit to wrestling is when we saw a difference in his self.” Once at LSU, which does not have a wrestling team, Garrett Bailey realized he needed a new sport that could fill the void wrestling did in high school. He chose powerlifting, and his potential in the sport quickly became clear. He surprised many in his freshman season by not only qualifying for USA Powerlifting Nationals, but placing 11th in the 100 kilogram weight class. He would take third in the 90 kilogram class his sophomore season and second in the 93 kilogram as a junior. Garrett Bailey possessed the ability to not only break records, but shatter them. In July 2011, he broke the Raw American deadlift record in the 100 kilogram class with POWERLIFTER, see page 7

SEC Power Rankings: Week 1 THE SMARTEST MORAN JAMES MORAN Sports Columnist My brothers and sisters the wait is finally over — football has returned.

I know we all have yet to see a single down this season, but here is where I see all 14 teams heading into the season.

The top spot in the conference belongs to the Crimson Tide until someone rises up and takes it from them. The winners of three of the last four BCS National Championships return a loaded roster led by senior quarterback A.J. McCarron, and Nick Saban isn’t about to let his team get complacent.

FOOTBALL
Offensive line proves more effective under Studrawa Trey Labat Contributing Writer
The offensive line is tasked with knowing a team’s protection schemes, adjusting to an audible on the fly and the issue of blocking a 300-pound man, making it one of the most demanding position groups in football. Judging from the adjusted sack ranking from footballstudyhall.com, LSU’s offensive line wasn’t good in pass protection last year. They ranked 92nd in the NCAA in adjusted sack rate and the success they had in the running game was down from previous years. Starting left tackle Chris Faulk was lost for most of the season, as well as senior guard Josh Williford
and senior tackle Alex Hurst. While injuries played a factor, it wasn’t the only reason for the decrease in performance. The offensive line also had to share its coach with the rest of the offense, contributing to a decline in play. Offensive line coach Greg Studrawa’s first season at LSU was in 2007, when he took what was a good offensive line the previous year — 23rd in adjusted line yards — and turned it into an elite unit ranking third in adjusted line yards in the nation. Adjusted line yards is a statistic that separates a running back’s ability from the offensive line. A lower adjusted line yards means the running back was making the offensive line look good, while a higher
number means an offensive line was doing its job and making the running back look good. Through the next couple of years, LSU maintained a respectable offensive line, which consistently ranked in the top-half of the Southeastern Conference despite producing little NFL talent. But the trend was reversed in 2011 when Studrawa was given responsibility over the whole offense. Steve Kragthorpe was originally hired for the job. He installed his offense but eventually had to take a less demanding role due to his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis before the 2011-12 season. But with the addition of new STUDRAWA, see page 7

SOCCER
Soccer shellacks Warhawks, 6-0; Pina, Arlitt dazzle
Chris Abshire Senior Reporter
The new-look LSU offense was on full display Tuesday night, as a five-goal barrage in the first half led the Tigers to a 6-0 romp vs. ULMonroe in the LSU Soccer Stadium. After scoring just one goal in their opening win against Louisiana Tech, the Tigers (2-0) quickly validated coach Brian Lee’s confidence in a switch to a more attacking brand of offense for this year’s team. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to really put a team away and had enough firepower to take the game over early regardless of the opponent,” Lee said. “It was good to see that tonight, and it came from a lot of different places, so that’s encouraging as well.” The six goals was LSU’s most since Sept. 17, 2010 against Mississippi State in a 6-2 win. It was the Tigers’ highest offensive output versus an in-state opponent since they ran up seven goals against Centenary in September 2008. Junior Alex Arlitt and sophomore Fernanda Pina each scored a pair of goals, the first time either notched a multi-goal game. The damage was done early and often, as LSU got on the board in the 8th minute, when Arlitt’s centering pass was easily corralled by Pina and put away at close range. “I had the ball originally and I know [Arlitt] always crosses it, so I just made that run and the ball was
right to me,” Pina said. “It’s awesome to finish what the whole team is working for and great to see more scores from good playing.” Five minutes later, the Tigers jumped ahead 2-0 as junior forward Jodi Calloway finished with her left foot off freshman Summer Clarke’s assist. In the 17th minute, Arlitt finally got on the board, maneuvering into the 6-yard box and depositing senior defender Addie Eggleston’s pass out of a scrum for her first goal in five matches. Frustration boiled over for ULMonroe coach Roberto Mazza after that goal, as he was immediately ejected on a red card for arguing with the referees. The Warhawks (12) have been outscored 12-1 in two losses this season. The relentless Tiger offense continued to push the pace on a reasonably cool August evening, and their persistence was rewarded again in the 21st minute. Arlitt was again at the center of the action, taking an Eggleston cross and booting the ball in from 12 yards out to make it 4-0. “What was working for me was probably getting forward,” said Arlitt, who is a defender. “As a left back, you don’t expect or anticipate moving that far up the field that often, but tonight I was able to get on the end of some crosses because we controlled the ball so well.” That gave LSU more goals than it had in a game all of last season,
when the Tigers scored three goals only three times while averaging 1.29 scores per match. After sophomore Lexi Gibbs’s goal to conclude the first half action, Pina notched the only second-half score by juking a defender and drawing ULM goalkeeper Holly Mallinson out of the net before burying her second goal.

He proceeded to break his own record three more times, most recently lifting 699 pounds in the 93 kilogram class on July 21. “What stands out about Garrett is his motivation and his will ... and it comes from a place of irrationality,” said Garrett’s brother, Brandon Bailey. “He has an irrational disregard for the likely.” For Garrett Bailey, this irrational motivation for pushing himself comes from an unlikely source. “Growing up, my favorite TV show was Dragon Ball Z and my favorite character was Goku,” Garrett said. “He trained his best

Until I’m told otherwise, Johnny Manziel is still the starting quarterback, and the Aggies are still major contenders to win the SEC West. We’ll find out exactly how good Texas A&M is when Alabama rolls into College Station on Sept. 14.

Jadeveon Clowney is the scariest man in the country. Other players are afraid of him, and they should be. Senior signal caller Connor Shaw leads the offense, and the Gamecocks should have enough punch to contend with Georgia and Florida in the SEC East.

(EXCLUDES ALL SALE ITEMS)
I start LSU at No. 5 because of their inexperienced defense. The Tigers have as much talent as anyone in the conference, and this team will shoot up the rankings if that talent clicks. The running game will be good with Jeremy Hill and Alfred Blue, but the offensive key is Zach Mettenberger improving. If he grows, LSU has a legitimate shot to win the West.

Competing against the world’s best, Garrett took the bronze medal after lifting nearly 1600 total pounds in the bench, squat and deadlift combined. Garrett Bailey left LSU’s team this year due to time constraints, but plans to continue competing on his own. He also wants to wait until 2015 to compete for nationals in his last year of eligibility. He expressed hope of becoming a powerlifting or wrestling

The Gators need junior quarterback Jeff Driskel to step up to win the SEC East, and I don’t think he is anything more than a game manager. That plus losses on the defensive line equals a third place finish in the east for Will Muschamp and company.

A big time recruiting class has optimism on the rise in Oxford, but a lack of depth on defense will keep the Rebels from being an elite team. Quarterback Bo Wallace leads a high-powered offense and has the best hair in the SEC by far.

Now, Will Bailey and his wife, Timotea, feel mesmerized by the accolades Garrett continues to receive. But the two are most happy to know their son is safe. “Everybody doesn’t go through something where they lose their home,” Will Bailey said. “The best part is to say, ‘You know what? Garrett is really going to be all right.’ That’s all you want for your children.

STUDRAWA, from page 5 offensive coordinator Cam Cameron this season, Studrawa will be able to return to his old duties. According to junior tackle La’el Collins, having Studrawa exclusively to the offensive line during fall practice should help during this season. “It helps us by far. You can’t even explain the difference in the way practices have been going. His time with us is the biggest key,” Collins said. “It’s like raising a kid. You want to have your father there to help you along the way and help you understand things and to just pay more attention to you. The added attention during fall practice should also return LSU to an elite level in the run blocking game. Since 2011, LSU on average has ranked 31st in the nation in opportunity rate — a metric that measures the percentage of rushes where the offensive line produces five yards for
the running back — while last year’s unit ranked 78th. Also, Studrawa will be back on the sidelines this season after spending last year in the press box. Sophomore guard Trai Turner said having Studrawa back helps the offensive line make adjustments during the game. Collins agreed with Turner’s assessment of Studrawa’s coaching style. “We look at him as a dad and coach, and for him to be right down there with us on the field speaks volumes, because we need that guy to be in our ear on the sidelines if we make a mistake instead of just talking to him on the phone,” Collins said. “We need to feel him right there in our face, that’s the kind of coaching we need.” Contact Trey Labat at tlabat@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @trey_labat_TDR

F. King Alexander’s actions should be questioned The Daily Reveille Editorial Board When the Board of Supervisors announced former California State University, Long Beach President F. King Alexander would fill LSU’s newly merged president-chancellor position, the decision seemed more positive than negative. Although many LSU students and faculty knew little about Alexander, his CSULB colleagues weren’t short on favorable comments about their beloved outgoing leader, known on campus as “King.” They said he maintained a focus on students while managing time to double as one of Washington’s top advocates for higher education. Even LSU’s Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope, who once led the faculty in a vote of no confidence in the Board for their presidential selection, now voices cautious optimism about Alexander following his decision to increase faculty and staff salaries. Alexander stepped on campus this summer and has now comfortably settled into his mahogany desk at the Offices of the University System. Unlike former interim System President and University Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins, who retired in June, Alexander is residing in the president’s office on Lakeshore Drive, located in the Offices of the University System Building, instead of the chancellor’s office in Thomas Boyd. Alexander’s decision to work out of the System president’s office is telling of how he will

handle his combined position. How will Alexander differentiate between his campus and system responsibilities? “It’s all the same,” Alexander said, when asked about the two roles. The recent merger of these positions casts doubt on what priority the flagship campus will receive. When Michael Martin was University chancellor, he made it clear that his focus was on the Baton Rouge campus, but since that position merged with System president, things have changed. Now, Alexander has a responsibility to every LSU institution, and his time is divided. While LSU Alexandria, Shreveport and Eunice have retained their full-time leaders, the state’s flagship University is sharing its chancellor. And in proper fashion, Alexander has spent much of his time at other campuses. Although that’s the job Alexander signed up for, it’s not the job the University needs. LSU’s problems are numerous, and they stem largely from a continuously shrinking state budget. Tuition continues to increase for both in- and out-of-state students, and until July, when Alexander announced the up-to 4 percent pay raise across the System, most University faculty and staff hadn’t seen a pay raise in four years, contributing to the loss of many top administrators and professors. While some of the funding for Alexander’s pay raises comes from solid sources like increased enrollment, other funding seems
less stable. These sources include but aren’t limited to a $150,000 donation from the LSU Athletics Department, a rebate from Office Max after the University signed an office supplies contract and money available due to unfilled administrative positions. The University can’t continue to “cobble together” funds if it wants expenditures like pay raises to be sustainable. Faculty and staff are already stretched too thin, and we can’t expect them to pick up the slack as positions go unfilled. Robert Kuhn, for example, has undertaken the job of both a CFO and Vice Provost and Associate Vice Chancellor. What happens next year when LSU inevitably loses more money from the state or when all the vacant positions are filled? Alexander’s intentions might have been good, but the plan’s execution is questionable. The problems in this state are too complicated to be fixed solely by lobbying trips to Washington. What we need is an administrator who is willing to stick it out until we can find a permanent solution for our University and other System schools. While many have suggested that Alexander could use this job as a stepping stone, we hope he uses his power to improve LSU and not just his résumé.

HEAD to HEAD Is pornography harmful to society?
Yes, pornography promotes destructive behavior. No, the problem is our view of sexual expression. THE UNRIDDLER CHRISTINE GUTTERY Columnist Sexuality is powerful. Power can bring invigorating life and freedom in the right context, but without self-control and responsibility it can dramatically corrupt and devastate. Addictions, broken relationships, violence and rape are just a few examples of ways unrestrained, irresponsible sex can destroy. The outcomes of pornography clearly indicate that pornography is not an appropriate or responsible context for exercising sexual impulses. It’s time for people to quit justifying actions without honestly understanding their outcomes. Frequent pornography consumption can lead to addiction by rewiring the brain to accommodate for overexposure to pleasure chemicals. The viewer may develop tolerance and must view increasingly graphic content or more often or use enhancement drugs such as Viagra to achieve the desired effect. Whether you call it an addiction or habit, porn consumption can lead to broken relationships and extreme emotional pain to partners of porn consumers. Porn also skews perceptions of sexual norms. A series of experiments and surveys conducted by professors and researchers at the University of Alabama revealed that the more pornography the participants watched, the more likely they were to believe others to be sexually active and adventurous, and that more graphic sexual activity is more common than it actually is. According to the Journal of Sex Research, pornography consumption was associated with a significant increase in teenage sex, multiple sex partners, extramarital sex, premarital sex and engagement in paying for sex. Pornography changes healthy perceptions of sexuality. By reducing sex to a means to an end — a chemical high — it encourages couples to place higher value on sexual performance than on the aspect of intimacy. When interacting with the opposite sex, people should respect the whole person, not just sexual quality. Porn encourages the opposite by reducing personhood to the physical aspect alone, discarding the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. Pornography especially harms healthy perceptions of women. Researchers at Oklahoma State University found that in the most popular pornography videos today, 88 percent of the scenes included physical aggression toward women such as spanking, open-hand slapping, hair pulling, choking and bondage. It should not be surprising that this study of college fraternity males “showed the strong link between men’s viewing pornography and behavioral instinct to commit sexual assault.” As people become desensitized
to increasingly violent and abnormal sexual practices, those practices become acceptable, normal, expected behavior. One common argument is that pornography empowers women. Quite the contrary: it devalues them by reducing them to sex objects. During Pamela Paul’s research for her book “Pornified,” she said she encountered a man who likened choosing which type of girl and sexual acts to view to choosing ice cream flavors. “Hmm,” he said, “I feel like Asian girls tonight.” While the sex industry is a regulated industry, it’s important to remember its business is selling a too-good-to-be-true sexual fantasy. In an article published on fightthenewdrug.com, an ex-porn star spoke out against the horrors of the industry: “I speak from experience to say there are victims and survivors who have been drugged and forced into this ugliness against their wills. I realize that this statement flies in the face of the mainstream, stereotypical, mono-thought mentality that porn is voluntary and that ‘she likes it, she asked for it, she chose it.’ Although that may be true for some, many are coerced into agreeing with whatever our pornographer says just to stay alive.” Porn disillusions people, causing them to view love and sex as easy, fulfilling and non-committal and about self-satisfaction. It harms viewers, relationships, the actors in the industry and the effects overflow into our culture. Pornography desensitizes, dehumanizes, devalues. Do not be deceived. Porn hurts.

THE BOX DOES NOT EXIST
JANA KING Columnist Growing up, we learn to accept several things about the world. Our parents won’t understand us, our only clean pair of pants won’t fit us right and porn is exciting — really exciting — but bad. A Google search on the negative effects of porn will lead you to an article by Dr. Phil, the famous not-quite-licensed psychologist on television. Or your mother could copy and paste the article into an email with the subject line “PORN DESTROYS!!!!!!!!!!” like mine did just last week. The article recites the basic arguments against porn: it exploits children, degrades women, causes unrealistic fantasies, invokes the desire for immoral sexual practices, can be addictive and destroys relationships. But what’s the fun of an argument if your opposition can rattle off your main points in one breath? The pornography industry is regulated. There are mandatory examinations and health checks before an adult actor is cast into a role. Most importantly, the pornography industry is made up of consenting, paid men and women. Anything outside of that should not be considered pornography, but sex crimes. The most enraging argument is that pornography degrades women and makes them insecure. I don’t know about you, but my security does not stem from my partner’s fantasies. If it did, I’d probably be insecure about not being a chili cheese dog from Sonic. The motif of “daughters gone astray” is worn out and does little except belittle an adult female capable of making her
own decisions. In reality, this argument ties a woman’s worth as a human being to her sexual expression. That’s where the real oppression stems from. Not to mention that this particular argument only reinforces a heteronormative mindset. If all porn is degrading to women, where do the gay adult films fit in? In an argument over this subject with an older female in my life, I was once told “I hope you don’t get gang raped, which is a porn fantasy, by the way.” To this I had little response until now. Calling it a “porn fantasy” is redundant. Pornography is fantasy, yes, but so is allowing your daughter to believe she is a princess. I would never stop my nephew from watching “Thomas the Train” videos because I believed it desensitizes him to the reality of life working on a railroad. So why would an adult not be able to separate fantasy from reality? The great, fascinating, wonderful thing about being a human is expression, including sexual expression. Just as we all differ in our clothing styles, we differ in our sexual styles. I urge everyone to adopt an open mind when it comes to human sexuality. I’m not saying that everyone should have a go at BDSM practices. Just realize that those humans taking part in those acts are just like you, but with different styles of sexual expression. Don’t be so quick to write off kinks as immoral sexual practices because they don’t appeal to you. The key to any relationship is communication. If there’s one thing that Dr. Phil got right in his article, it’s that it’s important to find out how your partner feels about pornography. Pornography can even be used to open up that communication line to find out what your partner is comfortable with sexually. Just like any sexual act, pornography can be difficult to accept — and that’s okay. Lines of tolerance differ from person to person. Unhealthy lifestyles are addictive. Pornography is addictive. If you cannot handle your partner looking at pornography, it’s understandable. But your problem lies with the partner, not the pornography industry. After all, you wouldn’t blame the alcohol industry for a failed relationship with an alcoholic, would you? Jana King is an 18-year-old women’s and gender studies sophomore from Ponchatoula.

He said he feels confident his experience working within that system will find him well-prepared to face the
POSITIONS, from page 1
Associate Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Senior Associate Athletic Director Herb Vincent was the most recent administrator to announce he is leaving the University. Vincent announced in May that he would take the role of associate commissioner for Communications with the Southeastern Conference. An SEC spokesman said Vincent will begin work with the conference in September. Bell said a committee to search for and nominate a successor to Vincent’s position has been formed, and the search process is already under way. The search process is complicated, Bell said, and it normally takes about a year to go through the steps of forming a committee, identifying candidates and approving them. As a result, search
challenges of coordinating the various bodies of the University. Despite Alexander’s confidence in his ability to adapt, there are differences between the two campuses he has never faced before. The LSU System includes, besides several campuses across the state, the AgCenter, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the Paul M. Hebert Law Center and the LSU Health public hospital system. CSULB Academic Senate Chair Dan O’Connor said he thought Alexander would be committees have been formed for most of the positions that will become vacant by the end of the year. Bell said search committees have not been made for some positions because the University is considering restructuring them as part of the reorganization process and is waiting for recommendations from the Transition Advisory Team before trying to fill them. This is the case for the position of dean of libraries, held in the interim by Elaine Smyth after Jennifer Cargill’s retirement in February. “We wanted to see what TAT recommended with regard to libraries,” Bell said. “We want to do a better job to integrate our position in order to be more LSUand state-serving.” Contact Gordon Brillon at gbrillon@lsureveille.com
The Daily Reveille well-suited to a system-wide role, but it would take him time to adjust to a new school and a different state. “He’ll have a quiet first year. He won’t make too many mistakes, but he’ll begin to manage and make sure people share his vision,” O’Connor said. “If anyone can do it, he can. He was a leader here among 23 presidents [of CSU system schools].” While the TAT deliberates on further recommendations for reorganization, Alexander said
page 11 there is not much he can do but work with other chancellors to improve communication and relationships between the schools in the LSU System. The TAT met most recently in July to discuss research-faculty funding, tenure evaluations and retention of faculty, among other things. Alexander said in the coming months, he will focus on the University’s recruiting policy, fundraising and lobbying on behalf of the University.
He said other priorities of the TAT include reevaluating and streamlining the University’s methods of grant procurement and risk management. Alexander will spend much of this week in Dallas, in preparation for the Cowboy Classic football game against Texas Christian University, meeting with alumni and large-scale donors, he said.

LSU Police Department detective John Melchior confirmed the chase began in West Baton Rouge Parish, but couldn’t say whether the car or victim was involved in a crime. An unidentified police official told The Daily Reveille the man fled a store in WBR Parish, which instigated the chase. Vehicles from the West Baton Rouge Parish Police Department, East Baton Rouge Parish Police Department, Louisiana State Police and LSUPD were all present at the scene. Mass communication junior Erika Schroeder also witnessed the crash from the Kappa Alpha Theta house. She said the car was being chased by at least one police car before the car hopped the curb and flipped into the lake. After the crash, Schroeder said the struggle to rescue the man was evident. “I think [the car was submerged] for like three or four minutes,” Schroeder said. “I thought he was dead.” Contact Chandler Rome at sports@lsureveille.com; Twitter: @Rome_Chandler
