Mettenberger focused on game, not headlines surrounding past Tyler Nunez Sports Writer

As LSU senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger stood in the Football Operations Center on Monday night surrounded by reporters bombarding him with question after question concerning his family, hometown and personal life, he wanted to make one thing abundantly clear: this week is not about a homecoming.

Not only is the Georgia native a former Bulldog, his mother has worked for the Georgia athletics department since 1998.

But for Mettenberger, this is just another Saturday, another Southeastern Conference opponent, another obstacle for his team to overcome in order to achieve its goals.

“It’s more about the game and more about this team and the things he has to focus on besides just showing up in Georgia where he’s from,” LSU junior wide receiver Jarvis Landry said. “It’s bigger than that.”

Unfortunately for Mettenberger, his checkered past, family ties and hometown apparently make for more headlines than “Just another game.”

“I’m looking forward to Sunday morning tremendously,” Mettenberger said. “There is just so much put into this game that has nothing to do with the game that actually goes on between the snap and the whistle. The worst part is my mom has to deal with a lot of this stuff too, and that’s just unfair.”

The University will be forced to pay additional thousands of dollars in penalties and attorney fees in the lawsuit brought by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate, a state judge ruled Thursday.

The University Board of Supervisors has faced a long, expensive legal battle with the two news organizations for the last six months over its refusal to release records from its search to fill the newly-created system president position that resulted in the hiring of F. King Alexander.

Alexander’s was the only name released to the public as an applicant, and NOLA.com | The

INTERNATIONAL Deal reached on UN resolution on Syria, eliminates chemical weapons UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The five permanent members of the deeply divided U.N. Security Council reached agreement Thursday on a resolution to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons, a major step in taking the most controversial weapon off the battlefield of the world’s deadliest current conflict.

Senior U.S., Russian, British and French diplomats confirmed the agreement. The full 15-member Security Council met behind closed doors Thursday, and Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said he would introduce the text there.

Poachers sentenced to 16 years in jail for poisoning elephants HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwean court officials say three poachers convicted of the cyanide poisoning of water holes that killed 81 elephants in a northwestern nature park to collect ivory have been sentenced to up to 16 years in jail.

Officials in the court in Hwange, 750 kilometers (470 miles) west of Harare, said Thursday the men were found guilty under anti-poaching laws and for illegal possession of 17 elephant tusks.

Another five suspects were ordered to be held in custody until their Oct. 4 trial.

Oklahoma prisoner dialed 911 to report escape from unsupervised van

New Orleans cops to wear cameras on uniforms, result of recruiting woes

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Prisoner Joshua Silverman passed up a taste of freedom this week and called the police instead.

Silverman could have fled with two other inmates who stole an unattended transport van he was riding in, but he dialed 911 and alerted authorities about the escape.

Guards from a private prison transport company had stopped in Weatherford, about an hour west of Oklahoma City, to deliver some ill inmates to a hospital. They left eight other prisoners, including Silverman, in the van unsupervised.

Colorado farmers arrested in fatal listeria outbreak, killed 33 people

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas says his office is buying hundreds of cameras for officers to wear on their uniforms beginning as soon as late this year.

Serpas calls the devices “the future of American law enforcement.”

The Advocate reports Serpas announced the move at a City Council committee meeting Wednesday called to discuss recruiting troubles in a department that has lost more than 300 officers — about 20 percent of the force — since Serpas became superintendent in 2010.

Baton Rouge police chief seeks to refine officer communication skills

DENVER (AP) — The owners of a Colorado cantaloupe farm were arrested Thursday on charges stemming from a 2011 listeria epidemic that killed 33 people in one of the nation’s deadliest outbreaks of foodborne illness.

Federal prosecutors said brothers Eric and Ryan Jensen were arrested on misdemeanor charges of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce. Each man faces six counts.

They pleaded not guilty in federal court and were released on unsecured bonds.

Stacey Rambold, 54, left the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge after serving the sentence handed down by District Judge G. Todd Baugh for the 2007 rape of Cherice Moralez.

(AP) — Police Chief Carl Dabadie says he has made it a priority in his young administration to improve the way officers are communicating with the people they serve.

Dabadie told a meeting of the Baton Rouge Rotary Club Wednesday the biggest complaint the department receives is the way officers talk to the public.

Cpl. L’Jean McKneely, a police spokesman, tells The Advocate the department is looking into hiring a private company to teach officers better communication skills.

International students find home at LSU Funds open $250,000 to student Read an international student’s letter to the editor about how she feels the groups University has treated her, Camille Stelly

Contributing Writer

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third in a three-part series looking at enrollment data from LSU since 2001.

Camille Stelly Contributing Writer

Student government enrolled SG Bill No. 1 on Wednesday, giving student organizations easier access to money in the Programs, Support and Initiatives Fund.

The passing of the bill allows funds to be available immediately.

“Passing this is a huge deal,” Speaker pro tempore Trey Schwartzenburg said. “It will affect a lot of students.”

The amendments to the bylaws of SG Bill No.1 would repurpose $250,000 that has been sitting, untouched, in an account since the mid-90s, according to Schwartzenburg.

The bill states the money will be distributed to support the SG Spring Concert Event, Homecoming Concert Event, a paid admissions concert series, provide relief funding to Recreational Sports Club Team, charter new student organizations, support student organizations sponsored conferences, late-night alcohol free activities and aid organizations in launching unique student initiatives.

SG Bill No. 1, written by Senators Max Mirrane and Taylor Stewart establishes an Organizations Initiatives Fund, which would provide financial assistance to student groups launching unique student initiatives.

Stewart said unique student initiatives are those that are new to the University. Student groups are only allowed to receive money from the fund once per academic year.

Events funded through this account must meet the requirement of realistically expecting an estimated attendance of at least 500 students.

The bill also allows money to be allocated to support an exclusive-use initiative and a community-use initiative.

Exclusive-use is restricted to use by one organization.

And community-use must be a program that benefits the whole University community.

Both require student organizations to provide evidence these initiatives will be sustainable for at least three years.

Michael Panther is one of many foreign students at the University navigating his college experience in a foreign country, finding his place among thousands of American students.

“I miss my friends,” Panther said. “I miss the food. I miss Kenya.

But I enjoy it here.”

Panther isn’t alone — 5.5 percent of the student body is made up of international students.

The 21-year-old economics sophomore is originally from South Sudan, which became an independent state in 2011. But Panther moved away from the war-ravaged country in 2004 to the neighboring Kenya, where he spent the rest of his teenage years.

“It wasn’t a good experience [in South Sudan],” Panther said. “Then I moved to Kenya, which was more peaceful. It was better there.”

When a friend living in Baton Rouge suggested that Panther look into LSU, he decided to find out more.

“My friend told me to check it out. So I did,” Panther said. “In Kenya, we never heard of LSU, we didn’t know where it was. So I did some research about LSU and decided this was the school for me.”

But Panther’s decision about where to study was difficult. After attending a British-run school, Panther said the United Kingdom seemed like a logical place to move. He also has family living in Michigan, so the Midwest was an option, too. But Panther did not want to brave cold winters in the Midwest.

While LSU’s economic

program was appealing, Panther said Baton Rouge’s climate — which is similar to his African hometown’s — sold him on moving to Louisiana.

Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment David Kurpius said he is not surprised when students like Panther find a home at LSU. Most international students seek out the University, rather than the University recruiting them, he said.

“We don’t do a lot of recruiting internationally, although that is something we might want to change,” Kurpius said.

The Office of Enrollment does not exercise the same recruiting efforts exerted for residents and outof-state students because of lack of resources.

“That is an area we don’t do enough,” Kurpius said. “It’s a resource issue.”

International student enrollment has remained steady over the past 13 years. Enrollment fell by only 12 students between fall 2012 and this year.

While the efforts to recruit international students is not strong, most international students move to the University for a number of reasons, not just academics, according to Director of International Services Natalie Rigby.

Some international students are attracted to the University’s culture and climate, as well as academics, but what makes them stay is the economic and job opportunities Louisiana offers, Rigby said.

“The bulk of international students are STEM majors. But that trends nationally and internationally,” Rigby said. “But international students represent anything: music, art.”

India, China and the Middle East provide the majority of international students, but Panther said LSU should reach out to more regions, especially Africa.

“Africans would be drawn here especially because the climate is very similar,” Panther said. “But I believe LSU is working to become a more diverse school [internationally]. I knew I wanted to study abroad. The winters are so cold [in the Midwest], so the weather played a big role in me coming to LSU,” Panther said.

Panther plans to put his economics degree to use in his home country.

“I want to rebuild South Sudan.

The country is destroyed by war,” Panther said. “The main thing is fixing the economy of the country.

I want to make sure my country is moving in the right direction.”

Kurpius said he wants to bring in more international students because it will give domestic students the opportunity to learn about other parts of the world.

ADMINISTRATION

Board of Regents approves 2013-14 operating budget Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

The Louisiana Board of Regents approved the fiscal year 2013-2014 operating budget at their monthly meeting Thursday.

Board members were presented with the operating budgets of all higher education institutions by the finance committee, amounting to $2.628 billion for fiscal year 13-14.

The University’s operating budget is $451 million, and 29 percent comes from state appropriated funds, compared with last year’s 58 percent state funding. $124 million has been cut from state appropriations in the last five years, and consequently, this money has been made up with increased tuition and fee revenues.

Additionally, the budget states that the University has eliminated

247 faculty and 199 staff in the last five years. While faculty and staff were reduced, enrollment numbers have increased by 4.8 percent from 2008 to 2012.

In a news release, Commissioner of Higher Education Jim Purcell said the Board is still prioritizing spending this money efficiently.

“The system presidents have been extremely thoughtful about their budgetary plans,” Purcell said. “However, adequate funding for higher education must be addressed if we want our universities to truly grow.”

The Granting Resource and Autonomy for Diplomas Act will potentially increase University tuition autonomy, resulting in more revenue.

The GRAD Act allows the University to be independent in

certain areas like risk management and facilities control, and with this autonomy comes increased savings and revenue.

It also gives administrations the authority to increase tuition as a reward for performance based on metrics and requirements in the act, according to Purcell’s budget presentation.

During the budget presentations Wednesday, LSU President F. King Alexander said tuition flexibility is the No. 1 issue in higher education.

Purcell said 87.8 percent of Southern Regional Education Board accredited schools charge per credit hour, suggesting a trend in that direction.

EDUCATION

Minority graduates stay steady Renee Barrow Contributing Writer

Although national trends highlight small numbers of minority students graduating in STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — fields, the University can boast about higher numbers thanks to growth in outreach programs.

Over the summer, the University’s Gear Up Program celebrated its first year of success. Gear Up is a $5.4 million state funded project dedicated to attracting disadvantaged high schoolers in Baton Rouge and Baker to the STEM fields and higher education.

In 2012, the University also received a $1.3 million grant to establish the National Institutes of Health Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program. The program is a partnership with Baton Rouge Community College to help transfer students succeed in scientific fields.

According to the National Action Council for Minorities Engineering Inc., only 12 percent of African American, Native American, and Latino individuals graduate from college with engineering degrees.

“Entering these fields can be intimidating,” said LaKeitha Poole, coordinator of African American Student Affairs. “Especially if you feel like you might be the only person who looks like you do in class.”

The University’s S-STEM, LASTEM, and LAMP programs make these scholarships available to underprivileged students. In a study pertaining to increasing access to educational opportunities published by the university in 2011, LSU retained a 34 percent STEM graduation rate between 1998 and 2003. According to the same study, 49 percent of those students were African American.

LSU is a tier one institution and should be more diverse, according

to Poole.

Poole also said cultural backgrounds play a significant role in the choices individuals make when they are in college. She questioned whether students are provided with the right tools to make informed decisions about their future while in junior high or high school.

“Overall, we live in a society where we’re trying to get through things quickly, rather than pursuing knowledge,” Poole said.

Offices like the Multicultural Affairs Center and African American Culture Center help students connect with resources to join the STEM community when they arrive at the University. The University also provides programs such as Recruitment into Engineering of High Ability Minority Students to incoming freshmen of all ethnicities and gender.

The camp is sponsored by Shell, Exxonmobil, Dow, and Fluor and exposes new students to potential career paths for STEM graduates.

Students have their own ideas about what makes STEM classrooms unappealing to minority students.

Cedric Williams, a physics and mathematics junior, said the low numbers are related to economic disadvantages.

“There’s a strong limit on education for lots of children, and that already limits the pool,” said Williams.

In his time in the College of Sciences, Williams said he noticed many new students lacking basic mathematical capabilities.

“I do a lot of tutoring,” said Williams. “And I see people from poorer areas in Baton Rouge having issues with simple algebra, like factoring.”

This creates problems with graduation rates because these students should be ready to take calculus I when they start college, he explained. However, many of the

students he tutors are enrolled in entry level trigonometry or college algebra.

Alexandra Willis, a computer science sophomore, said she has observed large gaps in the number of female and male students in her classes.

“It doesn’t feel good to be an outlier,” said Willis.

Willis said it is the most noticeable gap at the university and that women are scarce in some computer science courses.

“I feel like I have to prove myself to get to a basic respect level with my peers, while men don’t,” said Willis.

Friday, September 27, 2013 PENALTIES, from page 1

Times-Picayune and The Advocate sued for the release of documents relating to around 35 other “active candidates” for the position.

District Judge Janice Clark awarded the maximum penalty against the University for its failure to respond in a timely manner to her initial order. The University will be fined $200 per day — dating from March 21, when The Advocate first requested the records.

When these fines are totaled, the University will pay approximately $12,000 in penalties to each of the plaintiffs in the case.

Loretta Mince, attorney for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate, said that the University would also be liable for around $70,000 in attorney fees and $7,000 in other costs. The total cost to the University is estimated at around $105,000, not counting outstanding fees already owed to the court.

The penalty was awarded based on a clause in Louisiana public records law that states defendants may be fined a maximum of $100 per day if the defendant “unreasonably or arbitrarily fails to respond” to a judge’s order.

Clark ruled that the University’s delay in handing over documents relating to the presidential search fits this criterion and that the University must pay the maximum fine to both NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate.

“The defendants’ failure to respond was unreasonable, capricious and without proper cause,” Clark said. “The conduct was unlawful and contemptuous.”

University attorney Jimmy Faircloth contested Clark’s decision on the penalties, saying the University had attempted to respond promptly to all requests of the court.

Mince and her associate, Alysson Mills, argued that the penalties should be awarded because the University’s actions violated a settlement agreement made between the University and The Advocate in a 2001 lawsuit over the search for a new athletic director.

Clark said similar clauses in public records law state the losing side of a suit must provide attorney’s fees for the winning side, and on that basis, the University must

pay Mince’s fees and those of her colleagues.

The law states that fees are to be paid based on a rate set by the attorney general, which in this case would provide for $175 per hour for Mince’s service. Based on that rate, Mince said her bill for attorney’s fees would have totaled about $36,000.

However, Clark said because attorney’s fees are within the purview of the judicial branch of government, she could decide to augment the hourly rate. Based on Mince’s expertise in public records and media law, the time involved in the case and loss of other potential clients, Clark set the rate at $350 per hour, which is Mince’s going rate.

Mince said this would come close to doubling the total attorney’s fee bill.

The fines placed upon the University on Thursday are separate from money the University accumulated due to extended contempt of court — bringing the University’s owed total to more than $140,000.

Clark held the University in contempt in August, and placed a $500 per day retroactive fine on the University dating from April 30, when Clark originally ordered the documents to be turned over.

The contempt of court fine was put on hold Sept. 16, when Faircloth brought the documents to Clark’s office.

Thursday, Mince said the documents delivered to the court were unsatisfactory and did not cover all “active candidates” in the search, as Clark ordered.

Mince said the number of candidates discussed in the documents provided by Faircloth was “not approximately or about” the 35 that had been previously discussed.

However, Mince was not allowed to disclose the exact number or nature of the documents due to a binding agreement between the attorneys.

Faircloth said the University provided all the documents that had been reviewed by the Board of Supervisors in the course of the search and that any documents mentioning other names were private to R. William Funk and Associates, the Texas consultant group that assisted the University with the search process.

As I woke up Tuesday morning to the awful news of Paul Dietzel’s death, old and young alike seemed united in their mourning of the revered former coach and athletic director.

And while that’s admirable, it’s unlikely the younger, Tiger fans knew exactly who they were tweeting condolences for.

It’s not their fault. No student — and most of their parents — weren’t around for Dietzel’s rejuvenation of a dormant LSU football program in the mid-1950s Given the reins of a team considered a blip on the Baton Rouge radar at only 30 years old in 1955, Dietzel didn’t immediately dazzle.

His team stumbled to a combined 6-12-2 record in his first two seasons.

Stop for a second. Six wins in two seasons. In today’s college football landscape, teams with six wins in two seasons get uninterested followings, two-star recruits and endless derision from fans and media alike.

I wasn’t there, so I can’t say if Dietzel faced those challenges. But given the circumstances around the program when he inherited it, one

really fun matchup,” Flory said.

“Because they’re so physical, we’re going to have to be creative offensively. Malorie [Pardo] is going to have to manage the game well and our hitters are going to have to pick the right spots and not get impatient but be patient enough.”

The Tigers will most likely be without their only senior in middle blocker Desiree Elliott again on Friday as she continues to recover from a foot injury she suffered during non-conference play.

Flory said she isn’t in any hurry to get Elliott back on the court before she’s ready and doesn’t think her absence is impossible to overcome.

Georgia’s Red & Black sports editor answers questions Mike Gegenheimer Sports Writer

Each week the Daily Reveille teams up with beat writers from across the country to bring you the opposing view of LSU’s latest opponent. This week we talk to Cy Brown, the sports editor of Georgia’s Red and Black newspaper to preview the top 10 matchup between the Tigers and the Bulldogs.

1. With two of the biggest weapons in college football in quarterback Aaron Murray and running back Todd Gurley, who carries the majority of the offensive load on Saturday?

Brown: Although many people believe Gurley the better player than Murray, it is Murray who is the centerpiece of the offense.

The coaching staff has complete faith in him and let the game flow through him.

Gurley will receive a bulk of the carries, but Keith Marshall sits right behind him. Marshall is every bit as capable as Gurley and will receive his fair share touches.

2. What can LSU expect to see out of the Georgia defense this weekend, particularly in a secondary that lost so much entering the season?

Brown: Slowly but surely, the secondary is beginning to come together.

The problem against Clemson was the suspension of Josh Harvey-Clemons and some

other injuries on the defensive backfield. Now, the secondary has had a few games together as a unit.

The problem was never a lack of talent. It was lack of experience.

Safety Tray Matthews and cornerback Brendan Langley are both true freshman starters.

They’ve played a few games on a major level now and have improved since week one.

But don’t let that fool you.

They are still a weak point on the UGA defense.

3. What kind of reception can LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger expect as he makes his return to Athens?

Brown: It won’t be friendly, but it won’t be overly vitriolic, either.

Expect to hear some boos when he is announced as a starter and maybe early in the game. In truth, I think it will be a storyline largely forgotten about once the game gets going.

4. North Texas kept Todd Gurley from surpassing the century mark last week. Was this just a fluke or did the Mean Green expose a weakness in potentially the country’s best running back?

Brown: Georgia was not on top of its game against the Mean Green last weekend. It was a wet, miserable afternoon and the players had probably written off North Texas and had their minds fixed on LSU. I think it was a fluke. I would be surprised if Gurley didn’t get

100 yards this weekend.

5. Who are some unknown players LSU fans should keep an eye on Saturday?

Brown: Wide receivers Justin Scott-Wesley and Reggie Davis have established themselves as the offense’s long-ball threats in the absence of Malcolm Mitchell.

Fullback Quayvon Hicks is a strong blocker, but also has had a couple of big carries and

receptions this season.

Defensively, freshman outside linebacker Leonard Floyd has started every game this season and recorded the first two sacks of his career against North Texas.

6. Prediction?

Brown: Georgia 37, LSU 31. I think this game goes the opposite of your classic SEC low-scoring affair and we get a shootout.

The game will be close the whole way and Georgia will make a late stop to secure the win.

T N E M O M T A H T Team travels to McNeese meet CROSS COUNTRY

Invitational at home cancelled Tommy Romanach Sports Contributor

After a cancelled meet last week, the LSU men’s and women’s cross country teams will travel to Lake Charles on Saturday as they compete in the McNeese Cowboy Stampede.

LSU will mostly take on fellow Louisiana schools, including meet host McNeese State, Louisiana Tech and the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.

Last Saturday, severe weather in Baton Rouge cancelled the LSU Invitational, and the meet will not be rescheduled. Losing the only opportunity of the season to compete at home caused disappointment throughout the team.

“It was kind of a bummer we didn’t get to race in front of our home crowd, not getting to see friends and family out there,” junior runner Bryan Mutell said.

“From a psychological standpoint, it would have been nice to race.”

In replacement of the meet, coach Khadevis Robinson made both teams run an intense workout that he hopes replicated the real race. The practice was important because the team is still in need of experience when it comes to completing races, Robinson said.

Saturday’s race gave the team a simulation of the real race from a fitness standpoint, Mutell said.

“I think we needed the practice, I think it made us a little more sharp.” Robinson said. “In the short term, I don’t think it will do much, but in the long term, I think it will help us a little bit.”

Success has come in extensive supply for the team recently at the Cowboy Stampede.

The Lady Tigers have won the meet the previous two years, and the Tigers have finished in the top three in each of the last three years.

Robinson has mentioned recruiting as one of his main focuses upon becoming the head coach. The opportunity to run well against teams in the same state gives LSU a chance to stick out to high school runners, Mutell said.

“ULL and LSU have kind of had a sort of rivalry in the past few years,” Mutell said. “It will be cool to go up against them for the first time this year, and it can definitely send a positive message to prospective runners.”

Robinson said Saturday’s race is another chance for the team to become more conditioned and qualified for the Southeastern Conference Championship on November 1.

The Lady Tigers will begin their race at 8:45 a.m., while the Tigers will begin at 9:15 a.m.

Regardless, the Tigers will face That led to a season-high pera stiff challenge in Tennessee, a team formance as the Tigers recorded that appears to be on track to qualify 28 total shots and 15 shots on goal.

Though Lee acknowledged the difficulty of consistently putting up those numbers, a similar performance may be needed to fluster Tennessee junior goalkeeper Julie Eckel, who has allowed only four goals this season.

The match against Tennessee marks the end of a five-game road trip for LSU, during which it posted a 3-2 record. The Tigers will spend the entire weekend in Baton Rouge, ending with a Sunday showdown with Mississippi State at 1 p.m.

“After three weeks on the road, it’s nice to sleep in our own beds and get back to a normal routine,” Lee said. “But when the game starts, it’s a 90-minute game, and the field is the same size. We’ve got to go try to win.”

Last year, LSU lost a 3-2 overtime game at Tennessee on October 14. Should Friday’s game come down to the final seconds, the Tigers may have a leg up on their opponents. After all, they’ve been there before.

“When you get the really tight games and overtimes and late-game winners, those are the ones that define where you finish in the league,” Lee said. “And with this year’s league, there’s so much parity that every game is going to be tight.”

But when the second-ranked Georgia passing offense settles inside its home stadium, the Tigers’ young cornerbacks, including sophomore Micah Eugene, redshirt freshman Dwayne Thomas and true freshman Tre’Davious White, will have to hold their own against one of the nation’s most potent passing attacks.

“We just have to play our game,” Thomas said. “It’s going to be a test for our secondary, but we’re ready for it. We want to show the country what type of secondary we have. A lot of people think we’re young, but we’re experienced.”

If Murray does one particular thing well, it’s spread the ball around.

Three Georgia receivers have caught at least 10 passes this season, and six have accumulated over 100 total receiving yards through the Bulldogs’ first three games. Sophomore wideout Justin Scott-Wesley leads the group with 234 yards and one touchdown on 10 catches.

Knowing the level of play the Georgia passing offense brings, the LSU defensive backs have been preparing throughout the week, keying in on certain aspects of Murray’s game and seeing how to gain a competitive advantage before Saturday arrives.

“We’re preparing by just

staying mentally focused and playing the technique that [defensive backs coach Corey] Raymond showed us,” Thomas said. “We’re watching a lot of film on those guys. We shouldn’t be covering more than three seconds, so we expect to handle our business in the secondary.”

Keeping Murray in check will take a dual-effort from the LSU defense. While the young secondary is focusing on all of Georgia’s receiving targets, the defensive line will look to snag key sacks to force the Bulldogs off the field.

Georgia has averaged 40.3 points per game this season, so any stalled drives created by the Tigers defense should be a bonus.

Junior defensive end Jordan Allen said this game is no different than any other in terms of breaking into the backfield. “[Getting to the quarterback] is important every game,” Allen said.

“If we can get in his face and make it easier for the coverage, then we’ll have a lot of three and outs and hopefully get some turnovers. That’s ultimately what we’re looking for.”

Whalen said the loss of Elliott allowed other players to step up in her place, and they’ve done so flawlessly. The team has plenty of strong leaders who have been able to fill Elliott’s role on the court she said.

“While it’s hard not having her on the court and having her be a contributor player-wise, she’s done a good job talking on the bench,”

Whalen said. “It’s hard to not have her, but we’re still able to function at a high level without her.”

MURRAY, from page 5

attention surrounding the young, electric Gurley, senior quarterback Aaron Murray has been slightly overshadowed.

But if Murray’s numbers this season prove anything, it’s that he shouldn’t be forgotten.

Murray has completed 59 passes in 82 attempts, resulting in a 72 percent completion rate. His 1,040 passing yards rank second in the SEC, and his seven touchdowns to two interceptions make him a potent threat for opposing defenses to handle.

“Murray has been in that program for years and he’s been leading that offense,” LSU senior linebacker Lamin Barrow said. “He’s got a great arm, and he’s a major threat. He’s just as important as Gurley.”

Murray and the Bulldogs’ passing offense should be a new challenge for the young LSU defensive back corps to face.

Last week against Auburn, the Tigers allowed 224 yards on 17 completions against the conference’s No. 11-ranked passing offense. Interceptions by senior safety Craig Loston and sophomore cornerback Jalen Mills helped give LSU a 35-21 win in a rain-soaked Tiger Stadium.

can infer the situations were similar.

Nevertheless, Dietzel shrugged off skepticism, nabbed a guy named Billy Cannon and rode his zany coaching ideas to the promised land.

He employed the novel idea that players could play on both sides of the ball, rotating in separate teams of players to keep fresh legs going. One group, the Chinese Bandits, is still etched in LSU lore.

With this newfound strategy, Dietzel became the first coach to lead LSU to a national championship in 1958. One year later, Cannon, the man who carried Dietzel’s team to that title, was rewarded handsomely, becoming LSU’s only Heisman Trophy winner.

Two years later, Dietzel said he would “never leave LSU.” But the allure of West Point was too much to pass up, and Baton Rouge’s football icon and Army Air Corps veteran left the Tigers to become the first nonArmy graduate to lead its football team.

Yet there was no outrage. None of the baseless, moronic jabbering I heard when Nick Saban got a promotion and chose to leave LSU. Or the same clamoring when Les Miles beats a team by 21 and not 41.

There was perspective in 1961.

LSU fans, alumni and faculty remembered just six years ago when LSU football was as much a laughing stock as it was a spectacle.

When Dietzel departed for West Point he left a streak of four straight winning seasons at LSU. A Dietzel staffer named Charles McClendon

stepped in and, with Dietzel’s core foundation, rattled off 12 winning seasons in a row to bring the streak to 14.

Spanning the Saban and Miles era, the Tigers’ current streak is at 12 winning seasons.

So, the next time Miles sits on a 17-point lead, finishes 9-3 or calls a bubble screen fans disagree with, I challenge you to remember the Dietzel days.

Remember when 9-3 caused city-wide celebration, and when a 17-point lead was unfathomable.

And most importantly, remember the man who started it all.

University being bullied through irrelevant laws GATES OF REASON

Mariel Gates Columnist Since last spring, there has been this drama-filled lawsuit against the University to release its presidential search records to the public. Former Daily Reveille Editor in Chief Andrea Gallo was the first to file a lawsuit last spring. NOLA.com | The TimesPicayune and The Advocate quickly followed with their own joint lawsuit, demanding these records be made public.

On August 14, state District Judge Janice Clark found the University in contempt of court for not releasing the candidate names. Their sentencing was a fine of $500 a day for every day they have failed to release the records since April 30. These fines total approximately $63,000.

On top of this, after a court ruling Thursday, LSU must pay both The Advocate and The Times-Picayune around $80,000 for the lawsuit, which includes LSU reimbursing the organization for their attorney fees and court costs. This brings the total cost of the fines to around $143,000.

Basically, the University

is being fined and continually pressured to release the candidate names from an election that happened more than half a year ago.

Even if Gallo’s lawsuit was dismissed, her suit was the spark that started the flame with the other newspapers.

Students and teachers should be concerned about how the University is going to afford these steep fines. I have TOPS and even then my fee bill is already higher than I’d like it to be. I’d rather not have to go into my own wallet to pay for the repercussions of these petty lawsuits.

What would knowing the names of these candidates even do at this point? Releasing the names of the other 34 candidates won’t benefit nor even remotely affect anyone, besides the candidates themselves.

Think about it. These 34 people are probably currently working at other universities around the country. They probably have positions of high power and respect. If their name was on a public list of candidates to be the president of another university, they would probably get fired or lose respect and credibility at their place of employment.

considered for the presidency if he had not been guaranteed confidentiality.

Now I know that because LSU is a state-run school it must comply with Louisiana’s open records law. But in this instance, when the jobs of these candidates are at stake and they were guaranteed secrecy, this whole thing needs to be dropped.

Although these lawsuits may have started off as a genuine attempt at merely figuring out the candidates, I think the intent

has shifted. This seems to have turned into a cheap publicity stunt and as a way to make these news organizations seem like cutthroat journalists.

I just don’t see how finding out information that’s more than seven months old makes any difference to the student body or the general public.

The Board of Supervisors and the University should be admired for keeping the names confidential. They told the candidates they would, and even

after $143,000 in fines, threats from the court and the possibility of arrests, they are not budging.

That’s what I call integrity.

The negative attention should be shifted from the board and turned towards the forces causing and feeding the problem: the people filing these lawsuits.

The Board of Supervisors are standing up for what they believe is right — the candidates’ continued confidentiality — and for that they should be getting respect rather than threats and anger.

From a journalistic standpoint, I can recognize when something shifts from being a thirst for valuable information to a form of bullying.

Out of respect for the candidates’ well-being with their jobs and for our University and its leaders, this should be put behind us.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Previous letter to the editor LSU has no appreciation for international students about wages is incorrect I too had a job as McDonalds when I was a teenager. That was also at a time when minimum wage was less than $4.00 per hour and the work was done primarily by teenagers. Mr. Bialek had a fairly well-thought out letter but even well-thought out letters can be wrong.

I am against doubling of the minimum wage to $15.00 for hours for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons I oppose the increase is because there are skilled jobs that barely reach that level of compensation so someone with little, if any, education should not be paid an equivalent amount. For me, that is a good enough reason to oppose the increase but I am writing to rebut one of the ideas in Mr. Bialek’s letter. He said that McDonald’s,

The Daily Reveille Editorial Board

and other fast food restaurants, can afford to pay the higher wages. The flaw in this reasoning is that Corporate McDonalds pay the salaries of the line workers at the individual restaurants. Corporate doesn’t pay the line workers. Each McDonalds is an independently owned franchise. A doubling of the minimum wage would force the small business owner to shoulder the burden of higher expenses and lower profits. The two most likely outcomes for the small business owner if minimum wage is increased would be cutting hours or reducing their workforce. I think it is better to have a job at $7.50 an hour rather than no job at $15.00 an hour.

I have a 4.0 GPA, I am actively involved on campus and I give back to the baton rouge community. I paid $17,000 to LSU this semester for tuition. I came to LSU with the hopes of getting a scholarship, the International Student Non Resident Undergraduate Honor Award scholarship to be precise, but it has been discontinued due to budget cuts. International students are ineligible for the Board of Supervisors Scholarship. If the Board of Supervisors think we do not deserve a scholarship no matter how hard we work, then LSU: why admit international students at all?.

America has chance for peace with Iran, if we want it MR. FINI Joshua Hajiakbarifini Columnist For the first time in eight years, an Iranian President other than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has addressed the U.N. General Assembly with high hopes for peace and diplomacy with the United States. With a new President in Iran, it’s time for Obama to have direct diplomacy on the nuclear issue and negotiate.

We have seen the controversial Ahmadinejad challenge the United States at every turn and even survive an attempted regime change against him in 2009. But now he’s history, and a new President has been elected — Hassan Rouhani.

Who is Rouhani? He was Iran’s top nuclear negotiator for two previous administrations before Ahmadinejad, from 19892005.

He was the negotiator when Iran volunteered to suspend nuclear enrichment. Although Iran complied with the EU-3 (United Kingdom, France and Germany), Europe could not guarantee Iran’s safety and they couldn’t get the United States to back off from their threats of war and regime change.

Because former President Mohammad Khatami and his negotiator Rouhani suspended the nuclear program and got nothing in return from the United States, the conservatives in Iran painted them as weak liberals who lacked strength to face the

United States.

This led to Iran’s 2005 election of a hard-line conservative.

Ahmadinejad came to power and ended their suspension of enrichment to continue their development in nuclear power.

Eight years later, new Presidents for both countries could make peace become a viable option.

With Rouhani, a former top nuclear negotiator who was allowed on the ballot and elected in a landslide, this is a clear

message to Washington from the Iranian elites and people — they want to negotiate.

The American people made it clear that we want peace. The voters made a bold decision by electing an inexperienced liberal idealist instead of an experienced war hero. Obama beat former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in the primaries because she voted for the Iraq war and he didn’t. During the campaign, Obama made headlines when he said he would “sit down” with

adversaries. Many on the right criticized him for being weak on foreign policy.

Obama spoke about negotiating and diplomacy with foes so often that he won the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

This was clearly a premature decision on the part of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Since winning the peace prize, Obama has expanded Bush’s foreign

policy to Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He exponentially expanded secret wars with cyber warfare, drone warfare, bombing assassinations in Iran and financing of terrorist groups in Syria.

Obama has been more hawkish than Bush in regard to Iran.

In 2011, Obama imposed major sanctions on Iran’s Central Bank which had sparked a currency crisis and has made the lives of the Iranian people worse off than before.

Where are we today? There are major factions in the U.S. which want war regardless of our views. American Israel Public Affairs Office, the Neocons and the military industrial complex has always been on the side on war. They pushed us into the Iraq war and tried with Syria. For years they have been pushing for a war with Iran.

Now the President has to choose between the will of the American people or the pressures of Israel and the military industrial complex.

If Obama wants to earn the prestige of having the Nobel Peace Prize, then it’s time for action and not war.

Think for yourself, don’t follow instructors blindly THE UNRIDDLER Christine Guttery Columnist I can’t begin to tell you how much news media frustrates me. From the 2012 presidential debates to the most current news on Syria, networks find it necessary to explain to me what I have just heard and tell me exactly what I am supposed to think. But this attempt at brainwashing isn’t just happening in the media; it’s happening in classrooms and textbooks.

I don’t have anything against those who openly state their opinions and philosophies. In fact, I respect them for standing up for what they believe in.

However, when authorities do not give honest accounts of both sides of an argument, they are simply indoctrinating.

That might sound crazy, but

allow me to explain.

Far too often we believe our professors and textbooks not because they offer sound logic, but because we blindly trust their authority.

Doing Multicultural Education for Achievement and Equity is mandatory reading for future educators in humanities and social sciences like myself. Chapter three focused on equity, which, according to the book, “draws attention to ways in which resources or opportunities might need to be distributed unequally if groups that start with unequal advantages are to succeed.”

Redistribution of wealth is a controversial political subject, but the authors did not address that. By reading between the lines, I could see the entire chapter was filled with liberal ideology and trivialized any opposition.

While the book often gave facts and figures to support its claims, it failed to honestly recognize the other side.

“The information age can also be the misinformation age unless we investigate the sources and think critically about what we learn,” says LSU Professor Sarah Liggett, who teaches a class designed to prepare students to effectively tutor other students in writing.

The required book for the class advocates certain approaches to tutoring that the authors deem most successful. But instead of having students read solely from this textbook, Liggett also assigns two or three supplemental readings on Moodle that often completely contradict each other. Because of this, her students glean from proponents of many different tutoring techniques. Who would have guessed there were so many different opinions on how to be an effective writing tutor? More professors should adopt this method of teaching.

There are also plenty of factual examples of errors by

scientists, professors, and textbooks. My all-time favorite is “Nebraska Man,” also known as Hesperopithicus. Professor Henry Fairfield Osborne discovered a fossil tooth that he and his colleagues unanimously concluded was evidence of an intermediate link between apes and humans.

Much to the scientific community’s dismay, further discoveries at the site revealed that this tooth actually belonged not to an ape-man but to a peccary: a type of pig. This embarrassing incident illustrates that even when scientists or other authorities present their conclusions as fact, their conclusions may be based on extremely limited data and may be inaccurate.

Universities are glorious institutions made up of a diverse group of students — a group of students all being taught to think alike. With the pressure to please our teachers, make good grades, and follow the conventions of the system, it’s easy to neglect

critically thinking through the information being fed to us. We must realize that a PhD does not make a person’s words infallible.

Ultimately the problem lies not with textbooks and professors, but with our own ignorance and apathy. If an issue seems simple, it’s probably not. It is crucial that we take responsibility for our own education and that we are well-informed in our personal opinions and beliefs.

I don’t want to be just another brainwashed product of an institution. Let’s get back to critical thinking and rise above it.

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 hand written 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. _____________________________ What is the point in paying for an OVERPRICED commuter parking pass when we can’t even park in certain commuter lots, like the old alex box lot, on Fridays before home games.

They are reserved for motorhomes, which I’ve only seen a whopping 2 motorhomes in it on Fridays during school. They also take out the first row of parking in the south stadium lots.

To top it all off, once you finally find a place to park you’re late for class and the teachers get pissed that you’re late!

Oh and don’t even try to park in the grass because you’ll have a nice ticket waiting on your windshield when you get back!

HOMEWARD BOUND, from page 1

Russell (3,129 in 2006) as the only Tigers in history to eclipse 3,000 passing yards in a season.

The stats and recognition are nice, but they’re something to look at when the season is over, Mettenberger said.

“That doesn’t really matter for us [Murray and me] in this game,” Mettenberger said. “We’re going to go out there and do whatever we can to win.”

Mettenberger hasn’t just shown improvements statistically since 2012 — he seemingly became a new player during the offseason.

He acts as a leader who shows immense confidence in his receivers, blockers and, most importantly, himself when commanding his team to victory.

“Zach has completely changed,” LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill said. “He comes out there and he’s just so confident. On those third downs, you just expect him to complete the pass. That confidence

carries throughout the whole offense and we play with that swagger we have this year.”

Mettenberger once had aspirations of running out of the Sanford Stadium tunnel sporting a red helmet with Georgia’s trademark black “G” on the side and basking in all the cheers a starting quarterback of the Bulldogs garners from his home fans.

Destiny had different plans, and instead he will hear the boos that accompany a foe and his helmet will read “LSU” when he runs between the hedges on Saturday.

But Mettenberger seems to ascribe to the popular French phrase “c’est la vie.”

“My life has ended up here at LSU, and I couldn’t be happier with it,” Mettenberger said. “I’m proud to wear the purple and yellow and proud to call myself a Tiger.”

Animal science senior Rose Daunis has been involved with AAT since 2010 and has had a chance to connect with several patients while volunteering.

“It feels great to help,” she said. “Many of them don’t get visitors a lot.”

Daunis is now helping to organize times for students to meet with patients while continuing to assist in therapy this semester.

Pets and owners gathered in a large circle during the evaluations where Sylvester was able to handle the pets and weed out ones that didn’t seem to be suited for pet therapy.

If the animals passed the evaluations, they will get to assist Agriculture Residential College students for therapy services, she said.

“It helps brighten their day,” Sylvester said. “Many patients have had dogs in the past and miss them.”
