No arrests made in Aster St. robbery

BY quint forgey news@lsureveille.com No arrests have been made in Friday’s armed robbery north of Kirby Smith Hall along Aster Street, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde. The investigation is still ongoing. Lalonde said the incident took place just before 6:30 p.m. Friday as the victim was walking alone on Aster Street. The suspect approached the victim and lifted his shirt to show a handgun in the waistband of his pants, Lalonde said. Lalonde said the suspect took the victim’s wallet and cell phone and fled the area on foot, heading north on Alaska Street. The victim was unharmed in the incident. The victim described the suspect as a thin, black male about 6 feet tall with a light complexion and a small amount of facial hair. Lalonde said the victim described the suspect as wearing dark-colored pants with a darkred or brown top, possibly a hoodie, and a beanie or skull cap on his head.

Archives showcase 19th-century works Exhibit features art from Industrial Revolution era BY amanda capritto acapritto@lsureveille.com Even before the advent of iPhones, Twitter and smart watches, authors and artists in the late 1800s sought to escape technology’s influence by emphasizing the beauty of the world around them.

The Hill Memorial Library is putting on a two-day informational exhibit featuring famous works from the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements during the Industrial Revolution era. The event, Afternoon in the Archives, will run from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday and noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday on the second floor of the library. Head of Special Collections Jessica Lacher-Feldman described the event as a blend

of an exhibit and a class, without leaning too heavily to either side. Most exhibits at Hill Memorial Library are similar to classic museum displays and show items in cases, but items shown at Afternoon in the Archives are free-range, Lacher-Feldman said. Visitors can handle the objects and flip through the books. “We had this wonderful idea to find a way to get people excited

including a 3-yarder to Julian Edelman with 2:02 remaining Sunday night as New England rallied from a 10-point deficit to win its fourth Super Bowl in the Brady-Bill Belichick era, 28-24 over Seattle. But the Patriots (15-4) had to survive a last-ditch drive by the Seahawks (14-5), who got to the 1, helped by a spectacular juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse. Rookie Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette and picked off Russell Wilson’s offtarget pass to complete one of the wildest Super Bowl finishes. Brady leaped for joy on the Patriots sideline after Butler’s interception. “It wasn’t the way we drew it up,” said Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award. Brady surpassed Joe Montana’s mark of 11 Super Bowl touchdown passes with a 5-yarder to Danny Amendola to bring the Patriots within three points. Seattle, seeking to become the first repeat NFL champion since New England a decade ago, was outplayed for the first half, yet tied at 14. The Seahawks scored the only 10 points of the third period, but the NFL-leading defense couldn’t slow the brilliant Brady when it counted most. It didn’t matter how much air was in the balls, game Brady was unstoppable when the pressure was strongest. While pushing aside the controversy over air pressure in the footballs stemming from the AFC title game, the Patriots toyed with Seattle in the final 12 minutes. Seattle didn’t quit — it never does — and Kearse’s 33-yard catch with 1:06 remaining got it to the 5. Marshawn Lynch rushed for 4 yards, then backup cornerback Butler, who was victimized on Kearse’s reception, made the biggest play of his first NFL

season with 20 seconds remaining. “I just had a vision that I was going to make a big play and it came true,” said Butler, an undrafted rookie from West Alabama. “I’m just blessed. I can’t explain it right now. It’s crazy.” Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin was ejected in the final seconds for instigating a near-brawl, delaying the celebration for the Patriots. Soon they were mobbing one another on the same field where their 2007 unbeaten season was ruined in the Super Bowl by the Giants. They also fell to the Giants for the 2011 title. But thanks to superstar Brady and the obscure Butler, they are champions again. Brady now has equaled Montana with four Lombardi Trophies and three Super Bowl MVPs. He stands alone with 13 Super Bowl touchdown passes. He was 37 for 50 for 328 yards against the NFL’s top-ranked defense. He also was picked off twice. Brady had been intercepted a total of two times in his previous five Super Bowls. Yet, he picked apart the Seahawks on drives of 68 and 64 yards, solidifying his legacy as one of the greats of the game. His heroics offset those of Chris Matthews, one of Seattle’s least-used players before the postseason. Matthews recovered the onside kick that helped the Seahawks beat Green Bay in overtime for the NFC crown, and had a breakout performance Sunday. Having never caught a pass in the NFL, Matthews grabbed four for 109 yards and a touchdown. Lynch ran for 102 yards, but didn’t get the ball at the 1 on the decisive play — a decision the Seahawks will rue.

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

Student leaders weigh in on new lake amenities BY Chloe Huff chuff@lsureveille.com

emily brauner / The Daily Reveille

“A Mother’s Cry” hosted a panel discussion with mothers who have lost their children to gun violence Friday at the BREC Independence Park Theatre.

‘A Mother’s Cry’ condemns gun violence and racial profiling BY deanna Narveson dnarveson@lsureveille.com Nearly three years after her son’s death and six days before what would have been Trayvon Martin’s 20th birthday, Sybrina Fulton stood before a Baton Rouge crowd, encouraging attendees to take a stance against gun violence and racial profiling. Former gang member and rapper Arthur “Silky Slim” Reed organized the community gathering, called “A Mother’s Cry,” through his non-profit organization, Stop The Killing Inc. “I think one of the things we need to do is bring awareness to senseless gun violence and let people know how the loss of one life affects so many,” Fulton said before Friday’s event. “I think people don’t realize how many lives it affects by just one person being shot and killed, and they ignore that until it hits their doorstep.” Fulton founded the Trayvon Martin Foundation in 2012 to create awareness of violent crimes’ effect on families and offer support to those who have suffered the loss of loved ones to violence. After the event’s host, R&B artist LaTangela Fay Sherman, sang a rendition of The Lord’s Prayer, Reed and others took the stage to speak about putting an end to gun violence, police brutality and racial attitudes in the black community. Communication studies senior Kelby Bell said she went to “A Mother’s Cry” because her boyfriend is working on a police watchdog app to keep an eye on communities. “I thought it was kind of sad because the only people who went to the event were the people who wanted to create change,” Bell said. “And the people who maybe really needed to be there weren’t.” Reed said stopping violence and creating change needs to start within the black community. “Black lives matter,” Reed

said. “Black lives have to start mattering to black people, too.” Though there were few open seats in the theater, the room grew quiet as Reed presented a film produced by Stop The Killing Inc, titled “A Mother’s Cry.” Faces of young men who lost their lives in the last year flashed on the screen. Each face hung before the audience just long enough for the crowd to read their names and hometowns. Last year 32 unarmed men were killed by police. Eight of the police officers were not charged, 17 are under investigation and five were indicted, said a voiceover of Reed on the film. The film ended with a scene of a mother crying over a casket. “I did this because I see mothers hurting everywhere I go,” Reed said. “It’s not just police killing us — it’s us killing us.” Former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown, a friend of Reed’s, stood and addressed the group of activists and guests during the event. Brown spoke of the time he and his wife visited Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. He saw a sign reading “the road to Auschwitz was built by hatred, but it was paved with indifference and apathy.” “When we leave here tonight, is this just going to evaporate like the air?” Brown said. “We can’t be indifferent and apathetic. These women have lost children, and we’ve got to bring this senseless thing — this senseless killing — to an end.” After the film, several performers took the stage, including David Augustin — known as rapper Dee 1 — who performed at the 2013 Groovin’ on the Grounds. Dee 1 used to teach middle school in Baton Rouge and performed “My Student Got Murdered (Both Sides of the Gun),” about the murder of one of his former students by another. Social injustice activist Deric Muhammad addressed the crowd as well, speaking about the death

of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. “If a 12-year-old boy is not safe in a city park with a toy gun, what makes you think you’re safe?” Muhammad said. Muhammad went on to talk about police brutality. He referenced the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the choking death of Eric Garner by a New York police officer. As he called out the phrases “Hands up” and “I can’t,” the crowd chanted back to him “don’t shoot” and “breathe.” Muhammad said the members of the black community should show more value for their own lives by taking a stand and working to keep young people out of danger. A panel of mothers who lost their children sat on stage and answered questions about how they dealt with the grief of losing their children and how to keep working for change. Reed said Stop The Killing seeks to offer a solution for problems and create a way to help mothers connect with grief counselors and begin healing. “What we need to do is take that anger at our highest point and use that to keep us doing something,” Fulton said. “Because these events that we see on the news, it’s not news for me. It’s my life.” Bell said even though she hasn’t lost a loved one to violence, she could empathize with those who had. She said she understands the pain, even if she couldn’t specifically identify with them. Fulton said she thinks of her son every day, and what happened to her has made her a better person. “I think about him every day, and that’s just by simply being a mother that has lost a child,” Fulton said. “But I have two children. I have one in heaven and one on Earth. His birthday is an extra sad time for me, but at the same time, I think about him 365 days a year.”

After meeting Thursday with the public, planners of the Baton Rouge lakes project turned Friday to student leaders to hear what students hope to gain from the renovations and to respond to their concerns. The meeting addressed where the portion of student funding would come from. Baton Rouge Area Foundation executive vice president John Spain asked if students would be opposed to a portion of the student activity fee going toward the project. Student Government president Clay Tufts said if the fee is used on a project that increases options for student activity, students voting on the fee in the future should be on board. The Daily Reveille previously reported students voted in favor of a similiar fee in 2012 for UREC renovations. Kinder Baumgardner, president of the SWA group, showed early designs for the lakes that included separate trails for bikers and pedestrians, a boat house to rent on-thewater equipment and a place to eat. One of the planners, Jeffrey Carbo of the Jeffrey Carbo Landscape Architects group, said the lakes were something he and other students only drove past during his time at the University and asked if the lakes were more than a visual experience for students now. Tufts said with nice weather, the lakes have been packed. Carbo asked if the lakes were a part of the LSU experience. “Yes, definitely,” Tufts said. “It’s something being used as a part of LSU. It’s in there with

those monumental things — the Bell Tower, the Quad, the Parade Grounds, Death Valley.” Carbo said when the lakes shifted in popularity, they lacked amenities visitors sought out. “The lakes are there, but they were never really designed to do the things that people are wanting to do today,” Carbo said. Tufts said he thinks there would be more student involvement if there were designated areas, like the ones shown in the plans, to separate pedestrian and biking traffic and more opportunities to go out on the water. The renovations give the lakes the opportunity to become a landmark to enhance the campus and appeal to prospective students, Tufts said. Chauncey Stephens, student director of Volunteer LSU and resident assistant, said students would have a greater sense of ownership of the area as they see the project in the works. Stephens also said first-year students and commuters would benefit from the amenities shown in the plans. “I have a lot of first-year students who are on campus all the time,” Stephens said. “They may not have a car or things like that, and they talk about, ‘Yeah, I want to go kayaking, but I don’t know how to do that.’” Once the project is started, Spain said it should take three to four years to complete. “This is an iconic place for LSU and the people that live around it,” Baumgardner said. “This is an iconic place for the parish, for the city. This is the state capital, a lot of people come and go. It’s a chance to do something right here that really does change the way a city thinks about itself.”

Possibility of budget cuts loom; Armenian farmers get student housing projects approved boost from University

BY Carrie Grace Henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com

SHREVEPORT — Changes are on the horizon for both the University and the LSU system after the January Board of Supervisors meeting. The subject of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s potential budget cuts loomed throughout the meeting. All public comments, as well as the presentation by LSUShreveport Chancellor Larry Clark, addressed the topic. “We’re very grateful to the WISE Fund and concerned about whether it will continue or not,” Clark said, adding the looming budget cuts put additional pressure on the campus as their reaccreditation approaches. LSU President F. King Alexander cautioned members not to take the issue lightly. He likened the cuts not to a loaded gun, but a loaded cannon. “We outperform our peers in so many areas, but we certainly don’t outspend them,” Alexander said. “[These cuts] mean 2,000 less

graduates in Louisiana. In a state that ranks 49th in this country in number of college graduates in our population, this needs to be mitigated in more ways than one. This can’t continue.” The board approved new LSU football defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s two-year, $1 million contract and defensive line coach Ed Orgeron’s two-year, $450,000 contract. At the recommendation of Chairman Scott Ballard, the board approved two agenda items from the Finance, Infrastructure, and Core Development Committee. The board will continue to issue revenue and refunding bonds on behalf of the University. The funds generated by these bonds will finance or reimburse four campus projects. Three of those projects will provide additional on-campus housing for the University. These funds will contribute to the planning, design and construction of a new family housing complex for students with spouses and

children. They also will fund the second of two new undergraduate residence halls and a renovation of Evangeline Hall. “It’s a good problem,” Ballard said. “We have a lot of people that want to come to school, we can’t house them, so it’s good to see.” In addition to the housing projects, the funds will contribute to the expansion and renovation of the Student Health Center. After some debate, the board also approved a cooperative endeavor agreement with Shorelight Education, LLC. The agreement will expand the University’s international presence into 150 countries. International recruiting is a big part of the University’s admission team’s focus, Ballard said. Adding international students will create diversity on campus and bring in more revenue. The report to the board said Shorelight will absorb all upfront costs of the endeavor and will be funded with 50 percent of the surplus revenue generated by their recruiting after recuperating their initial investment. The report estimated more than $130 million would be generated for the University after 10 years, and the number of international students would triple. “We’ve been working with this group for the past several months and we’re finalizing the terms of a co-op endeavor agreement,” said Daniel Layzell, vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer. “Part of the urgency here is we are looking to get the recruiting efforts up and going this spring.” Executive Vice President and Provost Stuart Bell said the program was driven from an academic standpoint. There are two ways to prepare students for a global experience — sending them on study abroad trips and cultivating diversity at home, Bell said.

BY Jayce Genco jgenco@lsureveille.com Agriculture has always been a cornerstone of the American economy. The LSU AgCenter is working with its Armenian counterparts to provide training and assistance to local agriculture workers in their country. The goal of the AgCenter’s ongoing effort is to improve the overall safety and quality of Armenia’s agriculture sector for international and domestic markets. The Republic of Armenia is a small, landlocked, former state of the Soviet Union, and has had its share of economic hardships as one of the poorest countries in Eurasia. After the Soviet Union collapsed, most of the country’s markets fell into despair. Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Armenian economy, and the AgCenter is making efforts to help the country’s farmers keep up. Director of international programs for the AgCenter David Picha said the AgCenter began food safety programs eight years ago on a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “We’re trying to educate and implement programs that will allow the Armenian growers and agriprocessors opportunities to market their products in more regional export markets and more long distance European and U.S. export markets,” Picha said. And educate and implement, they did. The AgCenter partnered with the Armenian Center for Agribusiness and Rural Development to be the liaison between themselves and the local

farmers in need of help. Instead of the AgCenter traveling to Armenia, training locals and leaving, CARD is able to carry out the AgCenter’s work on a day-to-day basis. Picha said the AgCenter has had success in Armenia already. He said the country’s exports have risen and Armenia is more compliant with international standards. Even though the AgCenter team stays in the country for about a week at a time, there are many opportunities for individual, hands-on training and workshops involving Armenian farmers. Many AgCenter employees travel to Armenia to provide their assistance and expertise to locals. Meat science professor Ken Mcmillin said he’s seen Armenia’s dairy sector grow and produce more “value-added products.” “Instead of selling fluid milk, they are starting to make cheese and yogurt and those type of products,” Mcmillin said. “Now they have cooperatives that actually assist the farmers in milk collection and in their breeding programs so that they’re breeding better cows that produce more milk.” Mcmillin said when the farmers produce more milk, it brings more income to the farmers. Once they have more income, the farmers are able to purchase more feed, insecticides and vaccines to fight disease. Now that farmers have more income, it will improve the rural economy. Mcmillin said he feels obligated to use his talents and help Armenia practice food safety and grow its economy. “I think we can use our expertise to make the world a better place,” Mcmillin said.

missed opportunities Men’s basketball team plagued by poor shooting

Loss to MSU doesn’t bury Tigers’ postseason hopes

BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com

LIFE OF BRIAN BRIAN PELLERIN Sports Columnist

STARKVILLE, Mississippi — Sometimes, the shots just don’t go in. Every team hits a wall at some point during the season — when it can’t put the ball in the hoop, when simple shots such as free throws and layups become as difficult as halfcourt heaves. The teams that overcome those poor shooting nights are the ones playing meaningful games in March. For most of this season, the LSU men’s basketball team looked like one of those teams. But against a Mississippi State squad looking for a signature win, the Tigers couldn’t grind past an off-shooting night, and it cost them against a determined opponent Saturday. “You have nights like that,” said LSU sophomore guard Tim Quarterman, who went 1-of-10 from the field during LSU’s 73-67 loss to the Bulldogs. “We kept fighting, kept fighting until the end. We just ended up coming up short.” LSU (16-5, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) entered Humphrey Coliseum as the one of the SEC’s top-scoring teams, ranking in the top three in scoring (74.9 ppg), field goal percentage (45.9), scoring margin (plus-7.8 ppg) and assists (16.3). But that pristine status didn’t help the Tigers in their match against the hungry Bulldogs (10-11, 3-5 SEC) and their spirited crowd of 6,657. Against Mississippi State, LSU

During Southeastern Conference play, the LSU men’s basketball team had to avoid bad losses and pick up a few résumé-strengthening wins to make the NCAA Tournament. It didn’t matter how ugly the wins were. The Tigers simply needed to avoid a black eye because an ugly win is better than a loss any day in college basketball. In their first conference game, they picked up a bad loss on the road against Missouri, which is now 7-14 overall and No. 151 in the RPI. An improbable comeback victory against Georgia followed by a nail-biter against Ole Miss put the Tigers back on track. A loss to Texas A&M derailed the momentum once again. But once again, LSU bounced back with a blowout against Florida — its first win in Gainesville since 1992. Over the following week, the Tigers stayed immune to #SECBasketballFever and avoided a second ugly loss in close games versus Vanderbilt and South Carolina. On Saturday, the second ugly loss was added. Mississippi State threw a haymaker right to LSU’s tournament hopes in the form a 73-67 home win. You might think a road loss in this conference isn’t a big deal, Javier Fernández / The Daily Reveille

Lady Tigers aim for second straight victory against struggling Missouri BY stanton vignes svignes@lsureveille.com The LSU women’s basketball team will look to begin a winning streak with its next matchup against Missouri at 6 p.m. tonight in the PMAC. LSU (11-9, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) is shooting for its second win in a row against Missouri (12-9, 2-6 SEC), which has lost seven of its last nine games. LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said her team is taking each game in stride and will prepare for Missouri appropriately, regardless of its record. “Stay in the moment,” Caldwell said after LSU’s 70-41 win against

Ole Miss on Jan. 29. “Like [freshman guard Jenna] Deemer mentioned, the game is over with and we move forward and we don’t look back. I dont want them to go into the Missouri game underestimating what Missouri is capable of.” Missouri is 11th in the SEC standings and tied with LSU for eighth in the conference in scoring, averaging 64.2 points per game. Each team also allows 59.4 points per game. Missouri is led by sophomore guard/forward Jordan Frericks, the team’s leader in scoring, steals, blocks and rebounds. She ranks second in the SEC with 9.8 rebounds per game.

LSU junior guard Danielle Ballard said she and her teammates will continue to keep up their defensive intensity, which has kept them moving through their tough conference schedule. “[Caldwell] always says that defense wins games, and that’s one thing that I am good at, which is stealing balls,” Ballard said. “It happens with all the deflections and going and getting that ball — that is something I’m really good at. It’s going to be hard for teams to play against us on the offensive end. That gives us a little motivation to go harder on the defensive end.”

Lady Tigers increase defensive intensity against Ole Miss BY morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com

Learning to balance offensive firepower and defensive toughness is a key lesson for every basketball team to learn. For the LSU women’s basketball team that gained offensive explosiveness with the return of junior guard Danielle Ballard, the emphasis on its trademark defensive effort slipped as the Lady Tigers relied on Ballard’s ability to change the game with her offensive production. But all that changed against Ole Miss on Thursday when Ballard sparked the Lady Tigers’ 70-41 victory, not with a 20-plus point scoring performance, but with seven steals. “We’ve come to realize how important our defense is,” Ballard said following the win against Ole Miss. “We’re being more aggressive, and we’re talking on defense and communicating with each other. One of the key things is communication with each other, and the girls know that defense is very important being in the [Southeastern Conference] with the great teams out there. You just want to go out there and lock the other team down.” Against then-No. 15 Mississippi State on Jan. 15, then-No. 10 Kentucky on Jan. 18 and then-No.5 Tennessee on Jan. 22, LSU surrendered an average of 74.3 points per game, despite allowing an average

of 59.4 points per game this season. The Lady Tigers allowed individual players to exploit their defense with five different players scoring at least 15 points through the stretch. Against Mississippi State and Kentucky, LSU allowed two scorers each to reach the 15-point mark. Tennessee senior center Isabelle Harrison, who posted three double-doubles against LSU last season, continued her trend by dominating LSU with 25 points and eight rebounds. With LSU’s opponents scoring in droves, Ballard faced pressure to score in order to keep the Lady Tigers in games during the run. In the Lady Tigers’ victories against Mississippi State and Kentucky, Ballard averaged 24.5 points and seven rebounds per game. But in LSU’s loss against Tennessee, Ballard produced only 15 points and five boards with 11 points coming in the second half after the Lady Vols had already secured the lead. Against Ole Miss, the Lady Tigers held the SEC’s third-leading scorer and leading rebounder, senior forward Tia Faleru, to five points and seven rebounds, which released pressure on Ballard. “We did not want to make the same mistake, if you will, that we made with Isabelle Harrison from Tennessee,” said LSU coach Nikki Caldwell after beating Ole Miss. “We wanted to really put a lot of emphasis on our guard play and

disrupting the view of the basketball to [Faleru] in the post. When she would step short corner or step out, we were in denial.” Besides shutting down Faleru, the Lady Tigers returned to their defensive roots by creating turnovers. LSU created an average of 25 turnovers per game, including 11 steals against Mississippi State and Kentucky. But against Tennessee, the Lady Tigers managed to force only 15 turnovers and six steals.

Against Ole Miss, LSU’s hustle to the ball returned, and the Lady Tigers forced 30 turnovers against the Rebels, including a seasonhigh 22 steals. Ballard led LSU with seven steals, and seven other Lady Tigers recorded at least one steal. Although LSU scored only 12 points off turnovers against Tennessee, the Lady Tigers posted 34 points off turnovers against Ole Miss, which took pressure off Ballard. LSU’s win against Ole Miss

was the Lady Tigers’ second of the season in which Ballard scored less than 20 points. “Defense is very important,” Ballard said. “[Caldwell] always says that defense wins games, and that’s one thing that I am good at which is stealing balls. It happens with all the deflections and going and getting that ball – that is something I’m really good at.” You can reach Morgan Prewitt on Twitter @kmprewitt_TDR.

Monday, February 2, 2015 shots, from page 5 shot 37.7 percent from the field, including an alarming 29.4 percent in the first half. The Tigers’ slow start resulted in a 31-28 halftime deficit, marking the second consecutive game LSU failed to score at least 30 points in the first half. But the Tigers responded to their sub-30-point first half against South Carolina on Wednesday by lighting up the nets with 54.5 percent shooting in the second. While LSU did improve to a modest 45.7 percent in the second half Saturday, it wasn’t enough to leave with a fourth straight win. Quarterman couldn’t pinpoint whether it was the Bulldogs’ zone defense or the Tigers simply missing shots. “Both,” Quarterman said. “We just had a bad shooting day — terrible shooting day — especially on my part. We just have to knock shots. No matter what the defense is, we have to knock down shots.” The result of the Tigers’ poor shooting was a stunning loss to the SEC’s lowest-ranked RPI team (No. 185 as of Sunday) that could prove costly if LSU’s on the fence when NCAA Tournament brackets are being filled. Despite the loss, sophomore forward Jordan Mickey delivered the game of his LSU career. The 6-foot-8-inch forward, who was taken out briefly after appearing to injure his right foot with 13:38 to go, tallied 25 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. Mickey became the first Tiger to record at least 20 points and 20 boards in the same game since Geert Hammink did it Dec. 16, 1992. LSU coach Johnny Jones said he had a feeling a big day from his All-SEC forward was coming soon. “It’s funny, just yesterday he said he was going to get him

a 20-rebound game soon, and we were fortunate that it came today,” Jones said. “Thought he gave a great effort — in the second half early, he got a little gimpy and was hurt and we had to take him out — but he came back in and played like a warrior.” But despite an 11-for-18 mark from the field, Mickey struggled at the free throw line. He went 3-for-10 from the charity stripe, including a miss that would have tied the game at 60-60 with 2:12 left. Mickey missed another while trying to complete a three-point play nearly two minutes later, which could have made it a onepossession game. But he wasn’t the only Tiger to miss. As a team, LSU went 11for-21 from the foul line while the Bulldogs made 23 in 35 trips. LSU junior guard Keith Hornsby said the difference in game came when Mississippi State capitalized on opportunities and the Tigers didn’t. “It’s almost something you can’t control,” Hornsby said. “If you’re getting the good shots you want, it’s just all about making them.” But as frustrated as LSU fans were after the loss, the Tigers have shown they can rebound from defeat. LSU is 4-0 this season, following a loss. In three of those games, the Tiger shot better than 49 percent from the field. LSU has five days to rest and get healthy before tackling a three-game, five-day stretch, with No. 1 Kentucky as the finale. Quarterman said the Tigers must turn their focus forward, not back. “We’re going back home,” Quarterman said. “We have three games at home, so we’re trying to focus on the next game.”

missouri, from page 5 After the win against Ole Miss, LSU will attempt to keep moving with its head down through its conference schedule, which will last throughout the remainder of the regular season. Deemer, who scored a career-high 22 points off the bench against Ole Miss, said she and the team are taking each challenge with blinders on. “It was a great win,” Deemer said. “But it’s over now, so we have to get prepared for the next team.” Missouri’s roster boasts one of the best 3-point shooters in the nation, senior guard Morgan Eye. She has made the most 3-point shots in the SEC with 56 and is No. 9 in 3-point shooting percentage. Caldwell said LSU is aware of Eye’s long-range abilities and will prepare for her by looking at its own sharpshooter, Deemer. “They’re a team that has one of

postseason, from page 5 but the Bulldogs’ RPI sits at 185, one spot behind Coastal Carolina and more than 30 spots worse than Missouri. This loss hurts LSU’s tournament chances. Before the game, LSU was a 10 seed in ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi’s latest rankings. As of Sunday, LSU’s RPI is at No. 39, putting them firmly back on the bubble. LSU isn’t done yet, make no mistake about it. It has plenty more opportunities to right its wrongs against Florida at home and Texas A&M on the road, and the Tigers’ biggest potential win

You saw what she was able to do against Ole Miss. So we don’t want

that to happen [against us], and we’ve got to make sure we are in tune with our defensive scheme.”

of all comes one week from tomorrow against Kentucky. The Wildcats are undefeated, No. 2 in the RPI and widely considered the best team in college basketball. A win against Kentucky is as good as a handwritten letter of recommendation from the President of the U.S. for LSU’s application to the committee. Anybody with a moderately decent résumé that includes a victory against Kentucky is guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Tournament. If the Tigers do fall to the Wildcats, they still have a chance at an automatic berth by winning the SEC Tournament.

This, however, will probably require them to beat Kentucky. By no means does LSU need to beat Kentucky or win the SEC Tournament to get into the Big Dance. If the Tigers take care of business against everyone else and only drop some games against high RPI teams, they should still find themselves in the field of 68. But one more bad loss like last Saturday’s, and the Tigers’ bubble just might burst.

CORPORATE AMERICA:

WEB COMMENTS In response to Logan Anderson’s blog, “UNC’s ‘paper classes’ disrespect African-American studies,” one reader had this to say:

Our country’s ruination

“When former Chancellor Holden Thorpe stated that ‘it is not an athletics problem, it is an acadmics problem,’ he probably should have simply told the truth...IT IS A BLACK PROBLEM. In typical racist fashion, UNC has thrown an entire race of peple under the bus and refused to even acknowledge it. The rogue professor? BLACK. The rogue assistant coach? BLACK. The rogue academic department? BLACK. ALL of the athletes punished? BLACK. But the whole scandal was masterminded and orchestrated by WHITE administrators and coaches INCLUDING DEAN SMITH. What would you expect from university that still has a building on campus that is named after the founder and first Grand Dragon of the NC KKK?”

It’s tax season! You know what that means? It’s time for your crazy Tea Party relatives to start complaining about paying taxes. Get ready for them to scream about Obamacare and how we’re all turning into communists. And let’s not forget about Ronald Reagan’s infamous welfare queen, Linda Taylor. She’s the woman who used fake IDs and fake addresses to get multiple checks from the government totaling $150,000 a year. And since one woman in Chicago did this back in 1976, every single person on welfare is clearly rigging the system. They’re using money for weed and meth. They’re lazy burdens on society who don’t work, and they’re sucking America dry. They take taxpayers’ money and buy expensive cars and phones. How dare you have food stamps and an iPhone 6? Is that last season’s Prada bag? It better be a knock-off! You can’t be on government assistance and dress well. If you don’t look poor, you don’t deserve to eat or have air conditioning. However, after looking more closely at Louisiana’s welfare program, this “welfare queen” stereotype is not exactly the reality. First of all, you can’t use your cash benefits for anything other than food, shelter and clothing. Jewelry, liquor,

casinos, porn, sex toys, strip clubs, nail salons, tattoos, piercings, movie theaters, arcades, bail bonds companies, night clubs, bars, cruises and psychic businesses are specifically banned. So everything fun is basically off limits. If you’re caught using welfare money for any of those goods, you’ll lose your benefits. After your first offense, the state takes away your money for one year. After your second offense, two years. After your third offense, Louisiana takes away your benefits forever. Secondly, you can only get welfare for 5 years in one lifetime. If you’re eligible to work, then you generally have to work. If you don’t work, then you better be either in school or taking care of someone disabled. If you’re not doing any of those things, they take away your welfare money, and your Medicaid and food stamps might be affected, too. Finally, you hardly get any money. For a family of four, the maximum grant is $284 a month. Most, however, don’t get the maximum grant. Louisiana’s program subtracts a family’s monthly income from the grant amount. The remaining balance is how much assistance a family receives. If this is how queens live, then I don’t want to be gay anymore. America’s real “welfare queens” take much more from Uncle Sam than the pennies taken by poverty-stricken families. They’re called corporations, and they take billions of dollars away from the government in the form of tax breaks and delayed payments.

Editorial Policies & Procedures

Under American law, corporations can defer tax payments on any income made offshore. Students can’t refinance their loans, but apparently corporations can put off paying taxes indefinitely. Can you imagine if you didn’t pay taxes? Imagine what the Internal Revenue Service would do if you just told them you’re deferring your taxes indefinitely. They would laugh at you. But it’s perfectly fine for Verizon to defer its taxes. The other way corporations are able to evade taxes is by writing off expenses. Equipment, inventory, stocks and other business expenses can be deducted and used as a tax break. And through a weird and complicated loophole, these expenses depreciate, which makes many corporations look like they lost money, so the government gives them tax subsidies. There’s no limit to the subsidies. CEOs aren’t drug-tested for the corporate welfare. And companies can use the money on pretty much anything they want. Essentially, more money goes toward helping corporations turn a profit than getting families off the streets. It’s unfair and unjust to give corporations more handouts than people. I shouldn’t have to subsidize companies like Ford or Verizon when there are still homeless and starving people in the world.

Brand name clothing does not define female professionalism OUR LADY OF ANGST SidneyRose Reynen Opinion Editor For many women, fashion is truly their biggest passion. We’ve all seen those girls on campus with designer bags and matching shoes, wondering how they do it every day. But Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin) would like to make it clear she’s not one of those women. Last September, the human rights lawyer and activist married Hollywood star George Clooney. Now, instead of her newfound celebrity status bringing attention to the various cases and causes she supports, Clooney is receiving the question that professional women dread the most: “So, what are you wearing?” This was the case Friday, when Clooney was at the European Court of Human Rights challenging the appeal of a Turkish politician who straight-up denied Turkey was responsible for the Armenian Genocide. And while I’m sure some reporters weren’t so simpleminded, one daring “journalist” made a crack about how she was expected to show up to court wearing Versace. Quick to retort, Clooney simply said, “I’m wearing Ede and Ravenscroft,” which is the company that makes the traditional

court attire for those working in the legal system in England. Clooney is not alone in this professional women’s struggle. Female politicians like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have both been persecuted by the press for the fashion choices. Arguably the most powerful woman in Europe, Merkel has topped Forbes’ list of most powerful women in the world no less than eight times. And yet, the same publication released a slideshow, entitled “How Women Politicians Use Fashion,” where they said Merkel had a “frumpy style.” Yes, the de facto leader of the entire European Union was singled out as being “frumpy.” Clinton has had her share of fashion controversies as well. The Drudge Report infamously published a photo of Clinton wearing no makeup and glasses at a news conference in Bangladesh with the heading, “Hillary Au Naturale.” Clinton, who is no doubt a fan of the scrunchie, has received a lot of scrutiny for her hairstyle choices as well. The former First Lady even joked about calling her book, “The Scrunchie Chronicles.” Clooney, Merkel, Clinton and all other professional women shouldn’t face this type of intense and biased inspection of their fashion choices. This is sexism through and through. George Clooney, the actual celebrity half of the Clooney

The male counterparts to Merkel and Clinton aren’t made fun of for their ill-fitting suits or unflattering doofus haircuts. This is not only a sign of the decline of journalism — since when is it a story that someone wore clothes to an event — this is just another reminder that women are objects to be looked

at, rather than professional, working women. Some might argue that because Clooney married into a Hollywood relationship, she was bound to be bombarded with silly fashion questions. But what about the countless male nobodies that female celebrities marry? You don’t see Jessica Alba’s nobody husband being asked what he’s wearing.

Above all, Clooney should be receiving attention for the cases she’s working, not the clothes she’s wearing. These “journalists” should save the fashion questions for her husband next time.

To move or not to move? The difference in living and living well JAY TALKING Jay Cranford Columnist All of us will have to decide whether to live on or off campus. Moving off campus will probably be your first time living without someone watching over you. You will have a lot more freedom to drink and watch Key and Peele until 3 a.m., but you will also have to make sure to wake up for class after drinking on a Wednesday. This is just one example you need to consider when making the move off campus. At LSU, you can expect to pay between $600 and $800 a month in room and board. There are plenty of apartments that are cheaper and plenty that are more expensive. It’s easy to compare rent prices, but there are other factors to take into

consideration — some you can’t put a price on. The first obvious factor is being close to campus. On LSU’s campus, you will never be more than a 10-minute walk from a class, somewhere to eat or a sports venue. Don’t take this for granted. I know middle-aged men who would pay lots of money to live on campus during football season to be close to the Parade Ground and tailgating. Keep in mind there are apartment complexes surrounding campus that are still a 15- or 20-minute walk to class. You have to be honest with yourself if you can get up and drive to campus. I know I skip class more now that I have to walk 20 minutes to class, especially if it’s raining. I’ll take my warm bed over accounting class every time. Keep in mind that traffic around campus can get very busy, and parking on campus has gradually gotten worse. We’ve heard rumors of a

parking garage every year, but every year a new dorm is built instead. Don’t expect the parking situation to improve. If you aren’t a fan of driving, then staying on campus might keep you sane. Living off campus will give you a more freedom than you had on campus. You won’t have room inspections, resident assistants or mandatory floor meetings. However, living in a dorm is the simplest living situation you will ever have. While you are on campus, you don’t have to worry about paying rent every month because it was covered in tuition. LSU doesn’t make you pay for electricity or water in a dorm. You won’t have to worry about grocery shopping because The 459 or The 5 is right around the corner. It’s almost like living at home where everything is taken care of for you. If you decide to live off campus, you will find it more

difficult to know about the events that are happening on campus. Of course, this is no problem if you already have friends that you know you will stay in contact with after living together. The difference that’s closest to my heart is food. Since moving off campus, finding food has been a struggle for me. I can’t just go to The 459 whenever I want or eat as much as I want anymore. LSU offers commuter meal plans that are similar to the ones you get while living on campus. Residents get a certain number of meal plans a week plus Paw Points. Commuters get a “lump sum” of meals and some Paw Points. Students also have the option of getting a plan that consists of only Paw Points. If you get a meal plan while living off campus, then you will have to commit to going on campus when you want to eat, which can be an

inconvenience. However, eating at the dining halls is a healthy alternative to eating fast food every day if you don’t cook. You also need to keep in mind all the expenses that come with living off campus. Living on campus is going to cost more unless you are living somewhere like Southgate Towers. But depending on what apartments or house you decide on, you may have to pay for electricity, water, cable, internet and garbage pick up. You won’t have to pay for these in a dorm. Be sure to ask what utilities you would have to pay and how much those utilities generally cost. Factor that into your price comparison of living off campus, along with all the other factors like the ones I listed. Jay Cranford is a 20-year-old finance junior from St. Simons, Island Georgia.

Former professor talks race relations Symposium addresses cultural changes at University BY caitie burkes cburkes@lsureveille.com

An illustration from Eugène Grasset’s 1896 book, “La Plante et ses Applications Ornementales,” serves as an example of a work from the Art Nouveau movement in the late 1800s. Grasset’s works are among those to be featured at Hill Memorial Library’s Afternoon in the Archives exhibition. courtesy of hill memorial library

archives exhibit, from page 1 about some of the things we have in a more focused way,” LacherFeldman said. Rare book curator Michael Taylor said he hopes some design students visit the library during the event to gain inspiration for their own works and see what resources Hill Memorial has to offer. Taylor explained the elegance of art and bookmaking declined during the Industrial Revolution and said the books on display are from authors who were inspired by nature. These writers wanted to stray from the rapid urbanization and lack of creativity during the Industrial Revolution, Taylor said. The idea of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau exhibit is to focus on the vibrant graphic design of books in the late 1800s, Taylor said. “Books in the mid-1800s had become kind of conservative and plain, and there was a movement in the 1890s or so to make books more fun and whimsical,” Taylor said. The display will include works by famous authors from the 1800s, like Eugene Chasset, Margaret Armstrong, William Morris and Alfonse Mucha. The items will be spread across five tables and two glass viewing cases. Although the Hill Memorial exhibit is focused on book design, Taylor said the texts’ artwork can be used as inspiration for any sort of display or graphic communication like interior design, advertising or posters. “It’s all about the influence of nature on design,” Taylor said. Taylor and Lacher-Feldman plan to host an Afternoon in the Archives event once a month for as long as possible. “People always say they don’t know what we have, so this is a chance for people to learn what we have and for us to be here to talk to them,” Taylor said. “This is a good chance to experience interesting, rare materials firsthand.” The front section of Hill Me-

morial Library is public, but the back section is six stories full of archives, Lacher-Feldman said. The library owns about 10 million items, about 125,000 of which are books. “As long as people are interested in this, there’s no end to what we can share with people. It’s limitless,” Lacher-Feldman said. “The collections are huge and impressive.” Lacher-Feldman said she is happy to listen to University students’ opinions and suggestions to allow the library to cater to their interests. “This library is here for everybody, especially for students, and we welcome them,” LacherFeldman said. Though there is no planned lecture for Afternoon in the Archives, library staff will be available to answer questions and guide visitors, Taylor said.

Intellectuals and activists alike clustered in Hill Memorial Library to dust off old books and discuss brewing topics in sociology Friday. “Blacks in the Red Stick II: The African American Presence in Baton Rouge” served as a platform for University personnel to discuss race relations throughout the University’s history. The Department of African and African American Studies sponsored the symposium. Thomas J. Durant Jr., professor emeritus of sociology and AAAS at the University and the founding director of the program, was the keynote speaker. Durant said integration in the South was a three-dimensional experience for him. “One person can live in three different dimensions at the same time and have to experience the impact of those three dimensions at the same time,” he said. Durant defined his “dimensions” as communities where he belonged. His were the U.S., the city of Baton Rouge and the University. He said affirmative action, launched in the U.S. in the ’70s, directly affected his children’s public school experience in Baton Rouge. “Integration caused confusion,” Durant said. He said when the University started admitting black students in 1968, those students wanted a person behind the podium who looked like them. Upon his arrival to the

University in 1973, Durant established the Black Faculty and Staff Caucus. He belonged to a total of 63 organizations and served under eight chancellors by the time he left in 2009. “Social action is the greatest challenge,” Durant said. “After 1981, LSU was no longer an institution for all whites because of a cultural transformation.” Durant said cultural transformation occurs through the infusion and diffusion of multicultural programs in terms of quality, quantity and equality. He said student-led groups — like the University chapters of charles champagne / The Daily Reveille NAACP, MLK Action Movement Thomas J. Durant Jr. talks Friday at the and the National Pan-Hellenic “Blacks in the Red Stick II” symposium. Council — contributed toward the fight for equality.
