‘He’s my protector.’ Law student CRIME
arrested for rape

He stayed with different members of the coaching staff each night. Not knowing where he would sleep on a given night magnified even the simplest of tasks.
Abdellatif Devol, a third-year law student in the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, was arrested Wednesday morning for the forcible rape of a 26-year-old female that occured on Sept. 14. The arrest occured on campus when Baton Rouge Police officers arrived outside of his intellectual property class. Devol, 25, of 2232 Terrace St., was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. No bond has been set yet. According to the arrest warrant, the female victim said she went out for drinks with Devol Saturday evening. She accepted his invitation to return to his home but told him she was not interested in having sexual intercourse. Devol ignored her wishes and became “aggressive with her, and then began to remove her clothing,” according to an affidavit of probable cause. The victim stated she continued to resist and told him to stop, but his forcefulness escalated until he eventually had forcible

LSU fullback Copeland forms bond with surrogate family
Sports Contributor
There’s no question that LSU fullback J.C. Copeland’s favorite pastime involves inflicting pain. The 6-foot, 270-pound behemoth has been likened to a freight train or an 18-wheeler rumbling down the field on the way to delivering some of the most vicious hits in the country. Despite his frightening
reputation, 10-year-old Macy Jeter sees only one thing in the fullback — a jungle gym. Macy Jeter first met Copeland when her father and Copeland’s high school football coach, Bubba Jeter, brought him home one night because he had nowhere else to stay. Copeland was not your average high school student. Many might have been able to deduce as much just by looking at
the imposing frame of the football star, but the differences went beyond his strength and talent. Copeland’s mother, Sonya, struggled to make ends meet. As the only man in a family with three sisters, he took it upon himself to provide whatever relief he could. He moved out of the house in high school so his mother could focus solely on his sisters. “My momma was trying to support all of us but she couldn’t

University, BR poised for surge in electric vehicle use Gabrielle Braud Contributing Writer
Environmentalists and engineers alike have worked tirelessly to encourage the widespread use of electric vehicles, and finally, the technology to make it happen has arrived in full force in the Baton Rouge community and at the University. The main focus now is how to integrate this new electric vehicle culture into consumers’
everyday lives. That was Entergy’s goal when it began donating electric vehicle charging stations to universities across the state, including two at LSU, in 2011. Although the University has seen a handful of EV owners utilize the charging resources located on campus, organizations like Louisiana Clean Fuels — a nonprofit organization that works as a designated chapter for the national Clean Cities Coalition —
as well as companies like Entergy and Nissan, hope to raise awareness for alternative fuel vehicles, especially on LSU’s campus. Chip Arnould, a regional manager of customer service for Entergy, said the company wants to help engineering students at the University study the effects of charging stations on an electrical grid. “We want to have as much ELECTRIC CARS, see page 15

INTERNATIONAL Bus crashes into a commuter train, killing six people, injuring 34 OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Passengers screamed “Stop! Stop!” seconds before their bus crashed through a crossing barrier and into a commuter train during morning rush hour in Canada’s capital on Wednesday, killing six people and injuring 34. The front of the double-decker bus was ripped away by the impact, and the train’s locomotive and one passenger car derailed, though there were no reports of major injuries to train passengers or crew.

Japanese Prime Minister to take firsthand look at Fukushima leaks
Pickpockets who targeted tourists in Paris arrested by French Police
NARAHA, Japan (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will take a look at the crippled nuclear power plant, aiming to quell public unease over radiation-contaminated water that is leaking from the complex into the Pacific. Abe will look at some tanks containing radioactive water, water treatment equipment and other plant sites. Abe’s adamant reassurance to the International Olympic Committee earlier this month that the leaks are “under control” backfired at home, as many Japanese believe he was glossing over problems.
PARIS (AP) — French police have arrested a gang of pickpockets who dressed like tourists in order to target visitors — mostly Asian tourists — to Paris’ most famous museums and monuments. The group was sophisticated, dangling cameras from their necks to blend in, always buying entry tickets and slipping away unnoticed. They operated at the Louvre, the Musee d’Orsay, the Eiffel Tower and the Chateau de Versailles, bringing in as much as 2,000 euros ($2,700) per day by grabbing the wallets of tourists, according to Commissioner Stephane Gouaud.

Airlifts yeild to door-to-door searches for flood victims in Colorado
Twerking ban hoax fools, outrages some residents in DeQuincy
ONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — Airlifts gave way to door-to-door searches Wednesday for victims injured and killed in the flood-scarred Colorado foothills, as authorities began ramping down emergency operations and beginning the “long and arduous” recovery phase. Urban search-and-rescue teams with dogs and medical supplies began picking through homes, vehicles and debris piles for victims as the number of people reported missing dwindled from a high of 1,200 to fewer than 200.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When a satirical website reported the small city of DeQuincy, La., had banned twerking, some local residents thought it might be true. City Hall got 40 to 50 calls about the ban Tuesday, and similar calls tied up two lines at the police station, Mayor Lawrence Henagen told The Associated Press on Wednesday. He estimated that more than half thought there might be truth in the article posted at the National Report, even though it was clearly “baloney.”
Detroit Zoo to begin building $21 million penguin exhibit in March ROYAL OAK, Mich.

Ex-NFL player’s NY home trashed by teenagers; $20,000 damage ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Former NFL offensive lineman Brian Holloway initially thought the Twitter photos showing young people partying at his family’s second home in upstate New York were a hoax. Then he saw pictures of teenagers standing on the dining room table he bought with his Super Bowl bonus. Holloway’s rural vacation home was trashed during a Labor Day weekend party attended by up to 400 teenagers. Holloway said the partiers caused at least $20,000 in damage, breaking windows and doors, punching holes in walls and spraying graffiti. He saw the whole thing unfold live on Twitter.

An affidavit said Tugler struck the victim multiple times in the head and face with 3-pound piece of cinder block, causing noticeable injuries.

Hill Memorial Library to host its first open house
Michael Tarver Contributing Writer
From tiny to gigantic, Hill Memorial Library contains some pieces of history that one might not even know exists. Hill Memorial is hosting its first open house Oct. 1 for members of the student body and the public to view some of the special collection items the library has to offer. The library will pull selections from over 5,000 manuscripts, 80,000 rare books and thousands of photographs. New Head of Special Collections Jessica Lacher-Feldman will be available to meet members of the student body and help those interested in the collections find what they are looking for. There are always two displays in the library, this will give the public the chance to discover some new things they haven’t seen before. Lacher-Feldman said students would normally have to request items from Hill Memorial employees for special viewing. At the open
house, there will be items pulled and employees present to explain the history of the different pieces, she said. “One of my major goals with this open house is to demystify Hill Memorial Library,” Lacher-Feldman said. Though the library is always open to students, it’s often used for class tours so students can relate to course material. The open house will allow people to peruse the collections the library has to offer. Lacher-Feldman said one of the selections that may appear at the open house is a letter book of William C. C. Claiborne, the first governor of Louisiana after U.S. statehood was established. The book contains letters that Claiborne sent to Thomas Jefferson during the transition period after the Louisiana Purchase. Hill Memorial also has some books from the 15th century that will be available to view, Lacher-Feldman said. These books are often referred
to as “incunable,” meaning “from the cradle,” and are some of the earliest examples of print, according to Michael Taylor, assistant curator of books. Everything from 15th century books to comic books from the ’70s can be accessible to students and the public Lacher-Feldman said. Though this is the first open house Hill Memorial has had, there are always small events and displays in the library she said. One display present now is a section dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the famous “earthquake game” against Auburn when Tiger Stadium roared so loudly it registered as an earthquake on a seismograph. Saturday’s game against Auburn will mark 25 years since the fabled occurrence and the original reading is available to view in Hill Memorial.

LSU’s lawyer, Jimmy Faircloth, leaves the 19th Judicial Courthouse followed by LSU lead legal counsel Shelby McKenzie on Sept. 10 in downtown Baton Rouge.
Contempt of court fine suspended until final trial Gordon Brillon Staff Writer
The University Board of Supervisors won’t pay the contempt of court fine in its lawsuit against NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate until the case has gone through the process of appeals, LSU Lead Legal Counsel Shelby McKenzie said in an email Wednesday. District Judge Janice Clark imposed the fine in August after the Board continually failed to comply with her April order to turn over documents from the search for a new LSU System president that resulted in F. King Alexander’s appointment. Clark set the fine, which now totals nearly $65,000, at $500 per day
from April 30, the date of her original ruling against the University. Because University attorney Jimmy Faircloth agreed to turn the documents over to Clark at a hearing Monday, the rolling fine was suspended. This means the fine won’t continue to increase until the case has been through the appeals process, McKenzie said in an email. Once the case has been finalized in District Court, the Board plans to appeal to the First District Court of Appeals, Faircloth said. He said those proceedings could likely take several more months. A representative of the court said Faircloth delivered the documents under seal to Clark’s office Tuesday morning. The Board of Supervisors may
face further fees and penalties if Clark decides the University has unnecessarily defied her order to turn over the documents, said Loretta Mince, attorney for NOLA. com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate. Mince said because Clark’s original ruling was in favor of the newspapers, the Board would have to pay any attorney fees the newspapers have accrued. There will be additional monetary penalties if Clark decides the University acted “unnecessarily or arbitrarily,” she said. Clark scheduled the final trial for deciding attorney fees and penalties for 10 a.m. on Sept. 26. Contact Gordon Brillon at gbrillon@lsureveille.com

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
SG discusses possible DKE resolution Camille Stelly Contributing Writer
The University’s chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon fratenity is still the topic of discussion among the national media, the University, its students and Student Government. SG assembled Wednesday night for its fourth legislative session where Sen. Morgan Taylor proposed the idea for a resolution about DKE’s banner scandal. This resolution, which is only an idea at this point, would ask DKE to stop putting up signs that reflect the students and the University poorly. “We are the voice of the students. This is not a free speech issue or about punishment,” Taylor said. SG Senator and Interfraternity Council Vice President of Public Relations Eric Harper initiated debate on the senate floor about whether this resolution would interfere with free speech. The definition of what is deemed inappropriate is needed, Harper said. However, Taylor said DKE’s sign represents the students and that their sign was a defamation of the students and the University’s character, rather than the
fraternity alone. “DKE can take or leave the resolution,” Taylor said. “It is our duty to say something as the voice of the students.” Although SG has not taken action on this resolution, they used Wednesday’s meeting to measure whether this is a major concern of students before a resolution is written. While it is the University’s position to work with the Office of the Dean of Students and DKE’s national headquarters to determine a solution, SG President John Woodard said SG has no intention to overstep the University’s actions. SG’s job is to offer solutions to issues students are concerned about, Woodard said. “It isn’t SG’s place to act as Big Brother when the University is taking action,” Woodard said. “Sen. Taylor is trying to gauge whether writing the resolution would make the situation better or worse.” This week, SG will deliberate whether to proceed with writing the DKE resolution. The status of the resolution will be discussed at the fifth senate session next Wednesday. Contact Camille Stelly at cstelly@lsureveille.com

“One day I needed some money to pay for my cell phone bill so I asked coach if I could wash his truck to pay for it,” Copeland said. “He told me, ‘You don’t have to worry about it, I’ll just give it to you. You ever need anything, I told you I’d take care of you.’” Bubba Jeter was true to his word, as he eventually opened his home to Copeland and the bruiser started staying with the family on the weekends. Despite living in a house full of women and receiving skepticism from his friends, Bubba Jeter had no reservations about letting Copeland stay. “My dad was like, ‘He’s a good guy, very strong and very determined and he needed a place to stay,’” said Mallory Jeter, Bubba’s middle daughter. “He could’ve found a friend or something, but we loved him.” Mallory Jeter said the setup was weird at first. The family didn’t know Copeland and had the same rational worry anyone might with a stranger staying in their home. Except for Macy Jeter, that is. Macy was fascinated with the visitor, and was excited to have someone new willing to watch Spongebob with her, Copeland said. “I had a little sister who treated him like a jungle gym,” Mallory Jeter said. “It was a new thing in her house and she was so excited.” Copeland continued to stay with the family on weekends, and their bond grew stronger.
Thursday, September 19, 2013 Eventually, the Jeter household didn’t feel right without their special visitor occupying the bedroom in the basement. It was a natural fit. Copeland blended right in with the Jeters and before long, he was no longer a visitor — just a son and a brother. Copeland said he was in awe at how accepting the family was to him. They didn’t see any differences and took him in as one of their own. “It’s just amazing because they don’t see color or anything,” Copeland said. “Some people might say you’re family, but with them, I know I’m family.” With the Jeters offering a stabilizing force in Copeland’s life, he no longer had to worry about where he would spend his evenings. Still, Copeland couldn’t help but think about his biological mother and the struggles she and his sisters were facing. “Just being able to keep my head on straight without worrying about my mom and family was kind of hard,” Copeland said. “In the back of my mind I’m thinking, ‘Hey, I’m blessed and I have all these nice things but there’s no way my family is eating like me.’” As Copeland progressed as an athlete, he realized his talents in football might be a way for him to provide for his family in the way the Jeters provided for him. And when it came time to make a decision on college football, Bubba Jeter was there for him again. Though Bubba Jeter was a Georgia graduate, Copeland knew he could attend wherever he felt
the most comfortable. So, he eventually turned a family that cheered for red and black to the most devoted of Tiger fans. “... I fell in love with the football team and the atmosphere,” Mallory Jeter said. After experiencing the Baton Rouge campus and all it had to offer, Mallory Jeter said the choice was easy for her to follow her brother to LSU. Macy Jeter has given what some might call a “verbal commitment” to the purple and gold as well. Copeland will continue to smash the helmets of Southeastern Conference linebackers throughout the fall and perpetuate his reputation as an intimidating force on the field, but the reasoning for this motivation is not nearly as scary. He simply wants to pay forward the love and support he felt from the Jeter family to his own family one day. “They’re the reason why I play,” Copeland said. “Knowing that this game can give me and my family a place to stay and a big house and to be able to provide for them and sacrifice the way they did for me is an amazing thing.” What Copeland might not realize is just how much he gave to the Jeter family himself. “It might be dangerous to let a stranger live in your house, but not really,” Mallory Jeter said. “He’s my protector.” Contact Dimitri Skoumpourdis at dskoumpourdis@lsureveille.com

n much of Louisiana, ultimate frisbee is written off as more of a leisure activity than a real sport. It’s something to do with a dog, or maybe a schoolyard-style game with no rhyme or reason. Members of the LSU men’s and women’s club ultimate teams are working to change this mindset in hopes of introducing more people to a sport that values community and sportsmanship just as much as competition and intensity. There isn’t a better example of the inclusive nature of ultimate than the women’s club team, which began its first season as a FRISBEE, see page 8

Defense on the decline in SEC THE SMARTEST MORAN JAMES MORAN Sports Columnist An old football adage says defense wins championships, and for the past seven years, every college football championship has been won by the Southeastern Conference. But if the first three weeks of the 2013 season have been any indication, something has to give. The SEC, a conference synonymous with dominant defenses and physical play, has transformed into one big shootout with points being scored at a feverish pace. The Alabama-Texas A&M game turned into a 49-42 thriller on Saturday, and South Carolina-Georgia produced 71 total points the week before. Offense is on the rise across the conference. Nine of 14 SEC teams rank higher nationally in points scored per game than in points allowed. Ten different teams are averaging more than 30 points per game. Even more significant, the conference’s elite are offensive football teams. Of the five teams that have a better-ranked scoring defense than offense, only Florida is ranked in any national poll. Two of the four others are Kentucky and Mississippi State, who are putrid. No SEC team nationally ranks in the top 10 in points allowed, and DOWN DEFENSES, see page 8

Welter returns from ineligibility with newfound work ethic in class Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer
LSU junior linebacker D.J. Welter can be found going through his notes twice a week for an hour and a half. He isn’t flipping through a playbook or studying game film. Instead, he’s sitting in an economics lecture as the professor reads through the projected PowerPoint slides at the front of the classroom. After missing all of the 2012 regular season due to academic ineligibility, Welter is taking all the steps to ensure he stays on the field as the No. 6 Tigers march into Southeastern
Conference play. NCAA rules state that studentathletes must earn at least six credit hours each semester to be eligible for the following term and must meet minimum GPA requirements related to an institution’s own GPA standards for graduation. Welter was unable to participate in games until he regained eligibility in the Chick-fil-A Bowl loss against Clemson, where he recorded two tackles. “It actually made me better, sitting out a year,” Welter said. “It taught me not to take it for granted and to come out here and work hard and get to be able to play on Saturdays. Once
your four years of eligibility are up, you’re done.” In every situation, though, actions tend to speak louder than words. The LSU linebacker corps needed a boost after Kevin Minter declared for the 2013 NFL Draft, meaning a player like Welter would have to do everything in his power to get onto the field when fall camp opened in August. The Crowley, La., native has done just that — both in the classroom and on the field. “I took a step back and got a schedule down,” Welter said. “I WELTER, see page 8

SEC Fall Classic LSU offense reaches new heights Tigers’ offense up to open season from recent years Taylor Curet
Sports Contributor
LSU will toss up its first serves of the season Thursday as the Tigers travel to Nashville, Tenn., for the 2013 Southeastern Conference Fall Classic. The tournament is hosted by Vanderbilt at the Currey Tennis Center, the site of the 2014 SEC Tournament. Thirteen SEC schools will present their men’s teams, an opportunity for the Tigers to showcase their talent as well as scout out the rest of the conference for the upcoming spring season. “This is one of the top-five best fields of the year with every SEC team represented,” said head coach Jeff Brown in a news release. “Our team will understand the level we will have this year in conference play after this event.” The first two rounds of the tournament begin on Thursday at 8 a.m. and the subsequent rounds, all the way up to the finals, shape out the weekend. All eight of LSU’s players will compete in the singles draw, among 88 participants. The Tigers ended last season with a 16-13 record, including 10 wins against ranked opponents, but lost four seniors who were key contributors to the team. With a squad largely comprised of freshmen and sophomores, junior Chris Simpson returns as the most experienced Tiger in 201314. Simpson is ranked No. 29 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association preseason singles poll after a 20-win singles season with the Tigers, the most on the team. The Derby, England, native is the No. 4 seed for singles in the Fall Classic and has a bye in the first round on Thursday. Sophomore Boris Arias, University of Texas transfer Andrew Korinek and freshman Justin Butsch are also receiving byes in the first round of play. Butsch will have a tough go in his first match for LSU as he faces the tournament’s No. 1 singles seed in the second round: Tom Jomby of the University of Kentucky. After sitting out all of last season, redshirt freshmen John Michael Busch and Eric Perez play their first competitive sets in purple and gold on Thursday. Busch pairs with sophomore

Simpson and Trinh were first and second on the team in singles victories in spring 2013, respectively. Beginning Thursday, the two hope to lead LSU’s young bunch to success in the 2013-14 season.

Senior keeper remains vocal leader for Tigers Kinneman looks to shake off start Chris Abshire Senior Reporter
Senior seasons in college athletics are often considered a final shot at glory. LSU senior goalkeeper Megan Kinneman doesn’t have that problem. She’s trying to recapture the form — or at least the saves — that earned her freshman glory three years ago. As the Tigers hit Southeastern Conference play, it’s been a boom-or-bust senior season for Kinneman, who has been plagued by multigoal games despite ascending to second in the LSU record books with 16 career shutouts and counting. “She has a chance to be the best goalkeeper in LSU history,” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “Her
teammates and coaches would echo that. Hopefully, she’ll keep racking those [shutouts] up.” A starter and an All-SEC performer as a freshman in 2010, Kinneman allowed just 10 goals in 14 games. In 2011, Mo Isom returned from injury and grabbed the starting spot back, sending Kinneman to the bench. As a junior, Kinneman was solid, if not spectacular, while allowing 1.29 goals per game while playing every minute of LSU’s 9-8-4 2012 campaign. “It’s been a crazy ride, and it went quick,” she said. “I’m trying to not take these last games for granted.” For the most part, she hasn’t this season. The Missouri City, Texas, native has posted five shutouts through eight matches to go along with a scoreless exhibition match. But LSU’s three losses have come when opposing teams scored four, four and two goals, respectively.
Those goals came against No. 11 BYU, a Stephen F. Austin sqaud with a top-40 Ratings Percentage Index (used to rank teams based off of wins, losses and strength of schedule) and a 7-1 Minnesota squad. No one else has scored on Kinneman. “Particularly this season, Megan’s performance has been very consistent, though it might not look like it on the surface,” Lee said. “When we defend hard with good communication, we shut teams out. If we don’t do that on the back line, you see how the scoreboard looks. We’ve probably let her down as a team in a couple of games.” That communication is a hallmark of Kinneman’s play the last two seasons, with an experienced back line bending fluidly to the keeper’s commands. “Communication is everything near the net,” said junior defender Alex Arlitt. “It wins or loses games. It’s special back there with Megan, because I know her so
well. It’s intuitive.” Lee said splitting time during her first two seasons hindered Kinneman’s ability to be vocal and confident in the goal. “That’s been where she’s improved the most, being more assertive and willing to yell a little,” Lee said. “She’s our clear-cut team leader now. Even if she’s speaking softly off the field, they’re listening. Megan’s on the same page as our coaching staff 99 percent of the time.” Kinneman said that leadership could only develop once the mental aspect of the college game became fully inate. Know your own play before you can know the game, she said. “I’ve gotten to understand more about myself as a player,” she said. “At this level, it’s faster and such a mental thing. I always made saves growing up, but now you’re getting scouted and facing different formations. You have to really study the game. That takes
half your career to sink in.” Despite allowing 10 goals in non-conference play, Kinneman and LSU still notched several strong wins that should put the Tigers back in contention for an NCAA berth after missing the tournament last season. Lee said ultimately that’s how Kinneman’s legacy will be judged. “Her statistics are usually great, but they aren’t important besides wins and losses,” he said. On that front, Kinneman is 1918-9 as a keeper. That’s barely breaking even, hardly a reflection of her true performance in goal. Perhaps this senior campaign is that last grasp for glory after all.

Miles addresses media for last time before Auburn Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer
LSU coach Les Miles confirmed the playing status of several defensive players as he addressed the media Wednesday evening for his final press conference before the No. 6 Tigers battle Auburn on Saturday. Miles has a number of issues on his plate heading into the squad’s first Southeastern Conference matchup, including the injuries of two primary defensive contributors. Sophomore defensive tackle Quentin Thomas and senior safety Craig Loston have both been dealing with injuries of late, but both will be available and ready to go when the team takes the field Saturday. But one player, freshman defensive back Jeryl Brazil, may have to wait a bit before seeing any snaps. Brazil was involved in an altercation last week at the loading dock of The 5 dining hall on campus, leading to an eventual misdemeanor summons given to the athlete on Sept. 11.
Miles would not confirm or deny if Brazil was suspended during last week’s Kent St. game, where Brazil failed to play a snap. His status for the Auburn game is currently unknown. “We handle all that stuff internally,” Miles said. “It’s not something we need to discuss.” Meanwhile, Miles said he isn’t worried about the potential of playing in the rain Saturday evening. The current forecast calls for a 70 percent chance of rain in Baton Rouge this weekend. The squad will be prepared regardless of the weather. “When you’re in Louisiana, you work with wet balls a lot,” Miles said. “We’re familiar with that. We’re not necessarily comfortable in the rain, but we know how to operate.” Even with the chance for showers, Miles is expecting to hear an electric crowd in Tiger Stadium when LSU takes the field. After three weeks of non-conference contests, including one game in Dallas, LSU
fans will be ready to crowd the seats for the first SEC game of the season. “We would encourage and would enjoy a crowd that was naturally passionate for their Tigers and would raise the decibel levels so that the opponent would have all difficulty in the ability to communicate,” Miles said. “We would like it to be rocking.”
LSU has prepared all week for the potent Auburn offense, which averages 440.3 yards per game, ranking them eighth in the conference. Miles said he wants to use substitutions to be effective on defense. “We anticipate that we’ll have a rotation,” Miles said. “The interesting piece about [the Auburn] offense is the ability to substitute has to

actually started reading the material and actually getting into it. I was actually being a student instead of just trying to get through a test or get through a class. It was about actually going to class and paying attention.” Replacing Minter’s production is no easy task. Minter recorded 130 tackles, four sacks and an interception in 13 games played last season. Welter is working to solidify the new-look group, recording six tackles — one for a loss — and a sack through three games. Senior safety Craig Loston said he likes what he has seen from Welter thus far in 2013. “D.J. does a great job of just being him,” Loston said. “He does a good job of reading his keys and being in the right place and making plays for us, and he did that this past weekend. That’s all you can ask for from anyone.” The true test for Welter and the Tiger linebackers will come Saturday against Auburn, as LSU opens up SEC play in Tiger Stadium. Welter has never made a start against an SEC opponent. His only extensive playing time prior to the 2013 campaign was in 2011 as a special teams player and reserve linebacker. He recorded three tackles against Ole Miss, but is still relatively new to the division matchups. Auburn averages 238.7 rushing yards per game, meaning the LSU linebackers will have to be prepared for the fifth-best rushing offense in the SEC. Loston said he isn’t worried about the guys in front of him on defense. He said he expects them to only get better as the season progresses. “I see him living up to what our linebackers have done in the past, and as a corps, they have the potential to be better than the ones in the past,” he said. “That’s not going to come overnight. It’s going to come as they work week by week and day by day.”
DOWN DEFENSES, from page 5
only the untested Auburn and Arkansas defenses rank in the top 20. For comparison, three SEC teams finished in the top 10 last season, including the national champion Crimson Tide who allowed the fewest points in the country. The SEC has clearly slipped into Bizarro World. Alabama is still No. 1 in the polls, but Nick Saban’s defense is ranked No. 71 in scoring. Les Miles’ Tigers have a high-flying offense led by a record-setting quarterback while Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks are led by the best defensive player in the country. No. 9 Georgia and No. 10 Texas A&M rely on dynamic offenses to carry the No. 99 and No. 108 ranked defenses in the country, respectively. Bear Bryant would turn over in his grave thinking about this madness. Theories explaining the widespread offensive explosion normally center around some combination of the growth of up-tempo spread offenses and rule changes, making it almost impossible to play pass defense. Both explanations are contributing factors, but neither is the main cause. Texas A&M and Ole Miss have thrived since implementing spread offenses, but Kentucky and Florida prove that spread teams can be just as awful offensively as anyone else. Alabama, LSU and Georgia are every bit as explosive offensively running more traditional pro-style attacks. And the rule changes have made
playing defense harder, but that has been going on for years now. The only new rule this season is the targeting rule, and that is nowhere near significant enough to explain the overnight change of the SEC into the Big 12. The offensive explosion this season is more of an anomaly than an actual decline in defense. The loaded 2013 class of returning quarterbacks might be the best we’ve ever seen. Consider the quarterbacks in the SEC. There’s a returning Heisman Trophy winner in Johnny Manziel, a returning two-time national champion in AJ McCarron and a guy who is going to end up the SEC career touchdown pass record-holder in Aaron Murray. Throw in quality returners like Zach Mettenberger at LSU, Connor Shaw at South Carolina, Bo Wallace at Ole Miss and James Franklin at Missouri and there are more experienced passers around the conference than at any time in recent memory. That plethora of signal callers explains the offensive upswing better than somehow surmising the best defensive league in the country has fallen off in one off-season. Once they move on to the next level, as most of them will, the SEC will go back to being the defense-first league it has always been.

University Recreation-sponsored sport this semester. Environmental engineering senior Allyson Lutz said the team began to take shape during her freshman year when she and several other women played on the men’s second team. After the women’s team was established, it continued to share field space with the men’s team. Lutz said the kindness of the men’s team is nothing new for the ultimate community. A chance run in with an LSU ultimate alumna at a club tournament demonstrated that the bond between players extends to all different ages. “She saw that I was from LSU and she said ‘If you are ever in Houston, here is my number. I’ll hook you up with places to stay,’” Lutz said. “She didn’t even know me, or any of the people on my team, and she invited us to stay at her house.” The source of the universal camaraderie between ultimate players is a concept called “spirit of the game.” The USA Ultimate, the sport’s governing body, rulebook emphasizes it saying, “Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play.” Sportsmanship is often an ideal that takes a back seat as soon as the game gets close in other sports. The old coaches’ mantra — if you aren’t cheating, then you aren’t trying — has no place in ultimate. Finance sophomore Garrett Yetman said a player’s spirit can greatly influence how he or she is viewed
within the community. Yetman said YouTube trickshot sensation Brodie Smith was notorious for his lack of spirit during his time at the University of Florida, which cost him numerous individual awards. “The Callahan Award is given to the best player in the country, and [Smith] should have won it two or three years running,” Yetman said. “He just has the worst spirit, and no one likes playing with him.” Lutz said there are few things that anger her more than opposing players violating spirit of the game. “To me, it’s sacrilegious to break those rules,” Lutz said. “To take advantage of the fact that you are in charge of the game, I think, is the worst betrayal an ultimate player can have.” By holding players to strong ethical standards, there are rarely any hard feelings after matches between teams. Lutz said the LSU club can be seen laughing and watching following matches with opposing teams even after heartbreaking losses. English senior Maggie Tyson said the spirit of the game keeps troublemakers away from their club, making the experience more enjoyable for all involved. “When you have a good group of people, who play the sport and understand how it should be played, that is what makes it awesome,” Tyson said. “You aren’t going to get a bunch of bad eggs coming out to play a sport where they aren’t going to be able to get away with stuff.”

The average person can comfortably fit six tater tots in his or her mouth, according to the website ChaCha. Tonight, Bar Louie will test the limits of human consumption by hosting its inaugural tater tot-eating competition in Baton Rouge.
Dozens will put on their game faces — and mouths — this evening to compete for spudly glory. Teams and individual “competaters” will proudly shovel crisp, fried, starchy goodness into their gullets in hopes of winning it all as their friends and onlookers cheer them on. The competition is part of a larger event — the sixth annual “Rock the Tot,” which will take
place at 75 Bar Louie restaurants across the nation. Shane Srsen, general manager at Bar Louie, said “Rock the Tot” will attempt to set world records tonight, including one for simultaneous tot-eating. At 8 p.m. CST, each participant will eat a single tater tot with other tot enthusiasts, attempting to make it into history. Another world record will be
attempted: most tater tots eaten in three minutes. Next month, this record will be tested again at the national tater tot-eating championship in Cleveland, Ohio, according to Srsen. On Oct. 5, Cleveland will host the top-five winners of the Bar Louie competition in the nationals. Srsen said the winners will receive a paid trip to Cleveland as well as
admission to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The national winner will receive free loaded tots for life as well as a $500 cash prize. Unlike common eating challenges that use hot dogs and chicken wings, Srsen said Bar Louie chose tots as the food to be devoured because it’s a signature TOTS, see page 11
BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY
Local performer to give final show before move Samantha Bares Entertainment Writer
If you frequent The Radio Bar or Spanish Moon, you’ve probably seen a slender black man in lipstick and fishnets, standing tall in platforms and outdressing everyone at the bar. Local performer Jordy Marilyn has been living in Baton Rouge for 13 years, but has only been making art, fashion and music under that name since 2009. And he is no mere cake boy, as his upcoming Marie Antoinette-themed show would imply. Marilyn said gender, like much else, is unclassifiable in his case, but calls himself a man. He said he doesn’t live a double life as a performer in heels or person in slacks. “Ninety percent of my identity is Jordy Marilyn,” Marilyn said. “I associate [my real name]
with my past.” He said his decision to choose a glamourous alias was not driven by ego, however. “People can usually get that you’re fabulous,” he said. “They want to hear something else.” Brag-rap is too simple for Marilyn. He says he prefers to consume and make art with multiple layers of meaning and content, like his new single “Cannibal Creamery,” in which cannibalism is a metaphor for oral sex. Marilyn didn’t start creating until after graduating high school. He made costumes just to go out drinking, experimented with photoshoots and slowly evolved into the outrageous performer he is today from what he called a “club kid.” A club kid, according to Marilyn and the movie “Party Monsters,” is a young person who is paid to show up at clubs
and look fabulous. “They see no difference between the club life and reality,” he said. He said Imbeance, the name for his art house for all of his work and that of his collaborators, is a meaningless word that has come to embody all that clubkid life stands for, like not taking things too seriously. The eponymous showcase this Friday is the second of its kind and a farewell show heralding his move to Chicago. Held at Spanish Moon, it will be centered more on music than the last, Marilyn said. In addition to Marilyn’s own three-song performance, local DJs and the bands Roman Discipline and Nancy — for whom Marilyn often go-go dances — will have full sets. Marilyn will be styled as “Jordie Antoiefette” to keep with the Marie MARILYN, see page 11

MGMT, “MGMT”
Columbia Records
Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, better known as MGMT, have released their self-titled third album after three years since the band’s last effort, “Congratulations.” The theme of this album, like previous albums, is that of disdain for convention and societal norms, and the group has continued in the experimental direction with this alternative, psychedelic rock album. The songs’ meanings are perfectly mirrored by the band’s music. The first single, “Your Life is a Lie,” is constructed of just two chords, reflecting the song’s lyrics about the monotony of most people’s lives and their hollow value systems. But fair warning: this is not a CD for fans purely looking for the next hot radio hit. MGMT shows off its insane, warped musical style on this album, and it’s as unpredictable as ever. But even with over-the-top percussion, electronics and effects, the album fails to offer any standout tracks. KATIE DAIGREPONT

Grouplove, “Spreading Rumours”
Atlantic Records
Feel-good synth rockers Grouplove have released their second studio album, “Spreading Rumours.” Already riding the success of the radio hit “Ways To Go,” this album is sure to be filled with a few more chart-toppers — such as the infectiously catchy “Shark Attack,” which would have been great to jam to during the summer. Even though the majority of the album is palatable for radio consumption, that shouldn’t deter fans of more complex tastes. The album dips its toe in the EDM pool and then dives into an ocean of psychedelia on “Hippy Hill,” all while keeping its pop-rock edge. The album loses some steam in the middle, but picks up again for the last few songs. However, one constant through the album is the excellent percussion work. Also, make sure to check out the bouncy bonus tracks. TAYLOR SCHOEN

The Sadies, “Internal Sounds”
Outside Music
Canadian band The Sadies has been genre-bending for almost two decades, and its 16th studio album has splintered country, folk and garage-band rock together in a mesmerizing way. “Internal Sounds,” produced by member Dallas Good and released by Outside Music, feels equal parts Avett Brothers, Social Distortion and Neil Young. In “The First Five Minutes,” the games of children and the fatalism in adulthood are juxtaposed in lyrics like “cross your fingers when you tell your lies ... cross your heart and hope to die.” The track “STORY 19” sounds vaguely Spaghetti Western, but “We Are Circling” is a strangely haunting chant-rock, and “So Much Blood” is all twang. Influences are juggled wildly as the album progresses, leaving the listener a little harried, but there’s a sense of genuine enjoyment in how The Sadies does its strange — if you need to label them — alt-country thing.

Elvis Costello and the Roots, “Wise Up Ghost”
Blue Note
When I think of The Roots, I think of its signature sound: traditional band arrangements and rap vocals. On their collaboration with Elvis Costello, ”Wise Up Ghost,” I was treated to something that still sounded fresh and great, but lacked what I’ve come to expect from The Roots. Noticeably absent is Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter, rapper for The Roots, but it can be overlooked because Costello fills the void well. The Roots gives Costello a fresh, funky sound that he hasn’t used in his recent work. Tracks like “Walk Us Uptown,” “Refuse To Be Saved” and “Wise Up Ghost” can all back that up. In addition, there are some great slower songs like the powerful ballad “If I Could Believe.” The mix of different styles makes the album unique and worth a listen for any fan of Costello or The Roots.

“Insidious: Chapter 2”
FilmDistrict
For a while, I was beginning to lose my faith in scary movies. “Insidious: Chapter 2” totally renewed it. The storyline was incredible with lots of twists that were all explained by the end of the film. Scary movies often try to leave the audience hanging, just letting everyone know there will be a sequel. While this movie did end with a suggestion of an “Insidious: Chapter 3,” it didn’t leave me with any questions. It also had talented, well-known actors and actresses — something a lot of recent horror films have lacked. Producers even brought a little humor into the ghost-hunting characters, which I appreciate; every film needs a little comic relief at times. Overall, it’s great for a rainy Sunday night at home. Make sure you’re not alone, though — lots of super-creepy “spirit figures” appearing in mirrors and whatnot. SARAH NICKEL

EDITOR’S PICK: Solange, “Lovers in the Parking Lot” music video Creators Project
Reigning R&B goddess of cool Solange released the music video for “Lovers in the Parking Lot” on Wednesday, bringing one of the smoothest tracks of her “True” EP into the mainstream. Set in what appears to be a low-rent shopping center after hours, the video tracks Solange through the kind of iconic poses, jerky choreography and bold wardrobe changes that have made her image as an indie diva so powerful. Though not much could top the video for “Losing You,” “Lovers” plays with editing and lighting effects more creatively than anything she’s done in the past. It’s chic, it’s edgy, but it’s also grounded in enough dime-store reality to remind you that she’s not aiming to be a pop star. She’s old-school talent at its present-day best, and the “Lovers” KACI YODER Entertainment Editor video provides the perfect vehicle for that.

Design students collaborate for New Orleans Fashion Week Deadline looms as show draws near Sarah Nickel Entertainment Writer
Eight days. That’s how long the four LSU design students who collaborated to create the M.A.R.K. collection have until showtime at New Orleans Fashion Week. Two weeks ago, fashion design junior Krystal Frame approached senior Rachel Detloff with a proposition to submit a clothing line after hearing about an opening in the show. Knowing time was short, Detloff and Frame invited two fellow designers, Maddie Louviere and Alex Engelhardt, to join the effort. The collection’s name, M.A.R.K., was quickly decided upon by using the first initials of each student’s name. Experiencing a time crunch, they jokingly like to call themselves “K.R.A.M.” Having never worked together before, the group had to find ways to pull together the four different styles. “Surprisingly, we did not clash at all,” Louviere said. Louviere describes her style as chic and feminine, but with a little edge. Detloff, on the other hand, designs more “underground London, punky Rolling Stones stuff,” inspired mostly by music.
Engelhardt, winner of this summer’s Alegria Fashion Show in New Orleans, finds his inspiration in architecture and futurism using many angles and lines. Frame takes an opposite approach through lots of flowing garments with feminine Bohemian flair. The group decided to mix pastel and metallic fabrics in the collection to bring cohesiveness to the edgy and feminine. “We wanted to make sure we put our own selves in it so people can see us as well,” Louviere said. This is the first real fashion show for most of the M.A.R.K. designers, so bringing to life what’s always been on the drawing board has been the biggest challenge. “You have to learn the basics first, and they don’t teach you the basics until your junior year — like how to make a garment originally,” Detloff said. “You can take a pattern from the store and manipulate it, and be like, ‘I made this,’ but it’s not the same as when you make your own pattern from nothing.” Each member is responsible for three runway looks that incorporate the fabrics they picked out as a team just days after agreeing to work together. Sending photos of their progress back and forth in a group text message, they’ve been able to stay on the same page, design-wise. “We’ve been giving each other a lot of critique,” Louviere said.
“It’s mostly yourself, but I think we add by, say, Alex being like, ‘Oh, I really like that, Maddie, but what if we do this?’” While each designer is elated about being a part of M.A.R.K., they agree it’s unlikely they will continue as a group. Senior year is the time for defining themselves in the fashion world, and most competitions aren’t looking for groups, according to Louviere. As for now, the focus is on the countdown. Everyone is about halfway done with their portion, but the panic button is still on the table. “It’s just like an anxious feeling because I want to get everything done, but I know I need to take my time on it,” Detloff said, after describing how she makes mock-ups of her designs using bed sheets so she doesn’t mess up and run out of fabric. “What I’m most excited for is just seeing the clothes move down the runway, actually on someone,” Engelhardt said. As the last university in Louisiana to offer a degree in fashion design, the small senior program only has about 20 students. After graduating, the four M.A.R.K. designers all hope to further their education elsewhere. Prospects include New York, Los Angeles and even China. Contact Sarah Nickel at snickel@lsureveille.com

Aaron McKinney will also perform, and the world-record attempt will follow at 8 p.m. The competitions will be broken down into two categories: individuals and team relays. Srsen said there are currently 11 teams registered for the competition, many of them from local companies like Mockler Beverage and the Apple store. He also said many University students will be competing, and there are still spots open for individuals looking to scarf down some golden-brown deliciousness. Srsen said the team who can eat four pounds of tots the quickest will receive free tots for a year and T-shirts. The overall individual winner will also be granted a year’s supply of free tots and a T-shirt in addition to a customized trophy. “[The trophy is] a large cup, and it has the ‘Rock the Tot’ event logo from this year on the base,” Srsen said. “And then one of our employees, her mom’s an artist here in Baton Rouge, and she’s painting this crazy tater tot man playing a guitar on the trophy. And there’s a large papier-mâché tot that sits inside of the cup.” Srsen also said costumes are encouraged. Admission is free to competitors, but they must be registered by 6 p.m. For more information and to register, visit rockthetot.com. Contact Taylor Schoen at tschoen@lsureveille.com
comment when he saw a picture of a man wearing high-heeled shoes,” Hebert said. “He thought, ‘Oh my gosh, that must be so uncomfortable.’ And then he thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve never thought that about women.” Hebert said it’s important for men to get involved in these typically women-related issues to show support for the women in their lives and take a stand as a community against sexual and physical violence, which one in four women will experience in her lifetime. She said awareness is one of the key components to preventing abuse and assault as well as helping survivors of abuse. Hunks in Heels will begin at 7 p.m. tonight and end at 10 p.m. The tickets are $50, and all benefits go to STAR. Contact Taylor Schoen at tschoen@lsureveille.com

#SELFIENATION
Our generation is being attacked for promoting ourselves in a media our parents don’t understand THE BOX DOES NOT EXIST Jana King Columnist It’s a rare day that I walk through the quad without seeing someone taking a picture of themselves. You know when it’s going to be shared on social media because they make the face. The selfie face. If you catch someone making the selfie face, they’ll give you an embarassed smile. We all know that we are all guilty of it, so why be embarassed? Why is it such a big deal that we are caught taking pride in our appearances and want to share that moment, for others to see and for ourselves to look back on later, when we are having a bad day?
Selfies should not be criticized, but celebrated. Since signing up for Instagram in January, I have posted 378 photos. Of those, 223 were pictures of me, either alone, with others or with someone’s cat. I am a member of Instagram’s growing #SelfieNation, and it’s really no wonder I spend so much time worrying about my online image. Growing up we are taught that there is value in appearance. Whether your parents were constantly on your back about the clothes you wore or telling you to stand up straight, the idea was clear. But now that we’re older, there’s a lot of criticism for advertising yourself as if you take pride in your appearance. This negative feedback exists in excess for females. We are told to quietly strive for
seemingly effortless beauty, but never to show satisfaction. What makes us beautiful? When we don’t know we’re beautiful. The reaction to selfie culture is going in one direction — negative. Time magazine ran a story on The Me Generation, consisting of children born in the ’80s and ’90s. In this article, we are described as self absorbed, narcissistic attention seekers. Now we are being criticized by those older than us for overcoming the battles and celebrating ourselves. One might blame this on a generation gap, but it has a lot more to do with Internet presence than it does with age. Our parents didn’t have to worry about being denied a job because of blog posts or tagged photos from a scandalous Spring Break 2013. We have to take this
into consideration when altering our privacy settings on Facebook. It’s not just jobs at stake, either. Even the most accepting among us will admit to judging something or someone based on appearance. Whether to find a job, date, friends or even credibility in character, this virtual résumé is important to maintain. The Time article’s cover photo was a female, presumably late teens/early twenties, lying on her stomach, iPhone raised above her head as if taking a photo of herself. I can’t say that I see any harm in this concept. If you like the way you look, you take a picture of it and post it so others can see it. For some, it’s a way to remind yourself, on a particularly bad day, that you are the hottest thing walking on the streets. Yes, it’s true that this is a
form of seeking attention. But everyone is an attention seeker. Humanity strives for recognition. There is no danger tied to promoting yourself in a positive manner on social media. The best thing about social media is that, in comparison to other forms of media, it is easily accessible and controlled by the individual. If you have a problem with me posting pictures of myself on my Instagram, the unfollow button is right there. Jana King is a 19-year-old women’s and gender studies sophomore from Ponchatoula, La.

Sorry, babe, you are not getting my number SHUT UP, MEG MEGAN DUNBAR Opinion Editor Think of something you do an average of three times a day. Maybe attend class, eat or tweet. I sure hope catcalling innocent females wouldn’t fall on the list, but by statistical probability, it might be. I live off campus, and for the past week, I’ve counted up all of the times people have catcalled me during the 0.8 mile bike ride between my apartment and class. If you add walking around on the weekends to that list, I’ve come up with more than 25 instances of vocal male appreciation of my clothes, legs and general appearance. That’s an absurdly high number of times I have to reconsider my outfit and my actions: Was I out too late at night? Is my skirt a little too short? Should I take a different route home? These are things I shouldn’t have to think about, but that give me pause on a daily basis, especially when crossing Nicholson Drive. There’s something about that road that lends the perfect degree of anonymity to the particular kind of man — and so far it’s been all men — who like to yell at college-aged female commuters. A couple weeks ago, a man stopped his truck in the middle of Nicholson to comment on my dress.
Stopped traffic. He felt the need, with everyone else flowing around him at 35 mph, to disrupt morning rush hour and whoop at me. I wasn’t in the middle of the road, hadn’t cut him off and wasn’t flipping him the bird. Yet. So he had no reason other than my presence to call me out. This kind of thing doesn’t happen quite as often on campus, unless I’m on Highland Road. Then it’s fair game for all the pickup truck-driving freshmen with some sort of newly realized freedom or who, out of camaraderie, feel it’s necessary to loudly point out my legs. Other females have noticed this as well. Speaking to friends, I’ve heard most horror stories happen at night, with a truck slowing down to ask a girl for her number or inviting her to a party. These stories don’t end with a thumbs up from the callee as she offers up her digits, so I don’t understand what’s in it for the caller. Instead of chasing success, maybe the appeal of it comes from some twisted adult version of kindergarten recess, when boys and girls used to chase each other across playgrounds for a kiss on the cheek or a fake wedding ceremony. Then society got a grip on itself and taught girls their proper gender roles while it showed boys success only came after chasing what they wanted at any cost.
ALIX LANDRIAULT / The Daily Reveille
Students pantomime a catcall Tuesday in the Quad. Catcalling objectifies women and reduces them to their physical appearance.
Now the go-getter mentality manifests itself in creepy comments tossed to women out of car windows. A term to better replace females might be objects, since that’s how a catcaller treats the person they compliment. This is what’s really most demeaning about catcalling. It’s the assumption that I want to know men think I look good, that I am something placed on their daily commute for pleasure.
I’m not a tree with flowers on it or a particularly nice mansion. I don’t exist for the enjoyment of others, and neither does anyone else on the planet. So before you think someone deserves shouted praise from a road about their looks, consider the fact that they may take down your license plate number and track you down. But that would be threatening, and I’m supposed to be a delicate, objectified little flower. So no need to worry.

Politicizing tragic events helps more than it hurts THE GEG STAND MIKE GEGENHEIMER Sports Writer Tragedies aren’t tragic. It’s when we do nothing that it becomes the tragedy. In a perfect world, no one would be murdered or robbed, there would be no wars and the phrase “terrorist attack” wouldn’t be commonplace in our vocabulary. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world. These things happen, and we have laws and a justice system set up in an attempt to stifle, if nothing else, the frequency of their occurrences. In the coming days, Monday’s Navy Yard shooting will most likely become the newest chapter in the gun control debate. It will happen and it will be heated — it’s inevitable. Republicans will scream about how this never would’ve happened if more people had guns, and Democrats will complain about how the lack of stricter gun laws allowed the shooter to obtain the weapon in
the first place. This isn’t a column saying one way is right and the other is wrong. If you’re looking for that, go somewhere else. This is a column saying something needs to be done, even if it means the unpleasant task of politicizing death. It’s cold, it’s unfair, it’s a terrible thing, but sometimes tragedies need to be politicized — sometimes we need people to be cold. Tragedy, unfortunately, carries with it emotion, and emotion gets things done. When terrible things happen, there needs to be a response. When tragedy strikes fear into the heart of Americans, Americans need to rise up and do something about it. Airport security wouldn’t require everyone to take off their shoes if someone didn’t try to detonate a shoe bomb on a plane. Racial discrimination wouldn’t be illegal if at no point racial discrimination existed. If there were no mass shootings or gun crimes, the entirety of the gun debate wouldn’t exist. But there are and it does. I’m not saying President
the shooting in order to push his guns agenda. Former President George W. Bush recevied his fair share of flak over the years for pushing through the Patriot Act so soon after 9/11. Politicians are judged by how they respond to adversity, to tragedy. America thrives on people who stand up in response to something they see as wrong and do something about it. Don’t get angry and blame politicians on either side of the aisle for standing up in the next few weeks in response to the Navy Yard shooting, Newtown shooting or whatever it is they decide to say. At least they’re doing something.

Why are they calling it a “pedestrian corridor” when really it’s a “construction parking and dumping area”?? _____________________________ Dear LSU, what’s the point of Moodle when each professor has a different website for homework and quizzes? Doing homework on webassign and other websites as such is for the convenience of the PROFESSOR! It saves the professor time from having to grade hand-written homework. So, if it’s for the convenience of the professor, WHY ARE WE PAYING! It isn’t right! Quizzes are FREE through Moodle, so why not just assign them to us there? A student should have the option of doing handwritten homework if they don’t want to pay for a homework website. Plain and simple. Submitting homework that way doesn’t even help us. We simply click random answers for the ones we don’t know until we guessed the right one. First they make these “class specific” book packages to prevent us from buying cheaper alternatives online, and now THIS! Get it together LSU! If your professors are too lazy to grade handwritten homework, make THEM pay, not ME! You guys are taking everything natural out of the learning process. Everything has become computerized! It’s a disgrace. We don’t learn that way. Sincerely, Ashli Auguillard.

knowledge on the subject as we can,” Arnould said. “That is why we funded the charging stations and have partnered with several universities around the state.” Although electric vehicles are in their infancy, Arnould said allowing students to study the charging stations and their effects on electrical grids will help electric companies prepare for the future demand for charging stations. Currently there are only a few charging stations in the Baton Rouge community, with two at LSU, a new station installed at Whole Foods and some at various car dealerships in the community that sell alternative fuel vehicles. “The government gives very generous tax credits for electric cars, which lets manufactures further reduce the cost of vehicles,” said Lauren Stuart, executive director of Louisiana Clean Fuels. “This process allows early adaptors to justify their investment because they get the best prices.” The effort to raise awareness for EVs is focused on solving the issue of supply and demand surrounding electric vehicles. Because electric vehicles aren’t in high demand, there is little justification for the establishment of charging station infrastructure in communities across the nation. However, the issue goes both ways. People aren’t demanding electric vehicles because they are uncomfortable with the lack of charging infrastructure in their communities, explained Damian

Herd, a business development manager of Nissan’s Central Midwest states. More dealerships are installing their own charging stations as a way to encourage customers to buy electric cars and feel comfortable that they will be able to charge them around town, Stuart said. Although the University’s charging stations aren’t open to the public, Whole Foods recently installed a charging station offered free of charge to the public. Additionally, companies like Nissan are offering special pricing for LSU faculty and staff on the Nissan Leaf, which is a gasfree electric vehicle. “We hope this sets a precedent for retail and grocery stores,” Stuart said. Stuart said the best charging station locations are at libraries, schools, shopping malls and other locations where people spend significant amounts of time in cities. Amanda Player, a mass communication junior, said she and her sister both own Nissan Leafs and find the vehicle convenient
for driving around town. “I got it with the intent of charging on campus,” Player said. She said there are pros and cons to having an electric vehicle but not having to pay for gas is a significant benefit. Player estimated her total electric bill only went up a few dollars a month from charging her electric vehicle at home. One of the cons, however, is that one of the charging stations on campus has been removed due to the construction in the Hart Lot on campus. Tammy Millican, the assistant director of Facility Services, said the Hart Lot station will be relocated to the corner of the parking lot between the Natatorium and the tennis courts this week. Once the construction of the new residence hall is completed, a third EV charging station will be installed in the Hart Lot, Millican said.
