prior to organize a protest against Yiannopoulos’ message. A GoFundMe called “LSU Milothon: Strength in Diversity” was also set up in protest of the event. The proceeds for the fundraiser will be donated to Louisiana Trans Advocates. At the time of publication, the fund had raised $1,121. LSU Students for Trump organized the event, with a representative from the organization, Remy Garofalo, delivering the opening remarks. In her statement, Garofalo referenced the protests and anger regarding Yiannopoulos’ appearance. She said there were “so many people” trying to keep the event from happening. “Fortunately, they were not successful,” Garofalo said to the audience. “Our organization believes that freedom of speech is
New data from the Office of Budget and Planning depicts a sharp spike in total University enrollment following low first-day figures. On Aug. 22, total University enrollment was tallied at 25,548 students for all undergraduate, graduate and online students, a 9.27 percent drop from first-day enrollment in 2015. The enrollment dip came after a number of tragedies affected the city in July and August. Baton Rouge endured one of its most tumultuous summers on record this year, beginning with the officer-involved shooting death of Alton Sterling on July 5, followed closely by the deaths of three law enforcement officers July 17. Historic flooding in mid-August displaced thousands, affecting approximately 20 percent of main campus employees in addition to a number of students, LSU President F. King Alexander said. The full influence of this summer’s events on student retention and enrollment has yet to be determined. Enrollment numbers have largely rebounded. Between Aug. 22 and Sept. 9, total University enrollment increased to 31,414, though still down .36 percent, or

EDITOR IN CHIEF
Conservative cable commentators often derided Jon Stewart, when forced to acknowledge his effect on the public discourse, for reminding them that he was only a comedian. I always thought it was a cheap cop out for the former “Daily Show” host to hide behind that label. It rendered his commentary immediately void. Whenever Stewart deployed that excuse, whatever he said no longer mattered. His musings were suddenly a small part of one big joke. Still, his and other comedians’ brands of performance have a netpositive effect: to produce a laugh, even if they take a less than politically correct route to land one. A performance from Milo Yiannopoulos — the alt-right antagonist who spoke last night in the Student Union Theatre — isn’t meant to make people laugh, unless you consider the mere sight of an overweight woman doing yoga funny enough to generate an audible human response. The purpose of Yiannopoulos’ rhetoric is to upset other people. There’s no punchline — just bruised egos and the type of

BY NATALIE ANDERSON @natalie_mechell When a British man dressed in drag took the stage in the Student Union Theatre, a crowd filled with “Make America Great Again” and Trump 2016 attire, as well as Harambe and anti-Hillary Clinton T-shirts, went wild. Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos delivered a “lecture” on fat shaming and body image Wednesday night in the Student Union Theatre as part of his “The Dangerous Faggot Tour.” Several people took the stage before the main event, one of whom was Benjamin Acosta, a University assistant professor in comparative politics. Before introducing Yiannopoulos, Acosta told the audience to “be the best version of yourself and resist all the f***tard liberals.” Before beginning his speech,
Yiannopoulos took the stage in a white ball gown and blonde wig – which he called “full Marilyn Monroe drag” on Facebook. He sang the national anthem, then launched into his rhetoric on body positivity. “Being fat is not fine and will never be fine,” Yiannopoulos said to a packed theater. “And 100 percent of fat people are f***ing disgusting.” Yiannopoulos said fat people cost the nation an estimated $210 billion a year. Fat-shaming is effective because obesity leads to many diseases, and potentially death, he said. “You may think I’m cruel to fat people, but it’s because I care,” Yiannopoulos said. His stop at the University sparked controversy, as members of LGBTQ organizations and the University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs met several days

Office of Diversity holds open house, encourages conversation
BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker
In its annual open house on Wednesday, the Office of Diversity opened its doors to students and faculty to discuss and promote campus diversity. Students were able to learn about programs the Office of Diversity has to offer, including events at the Women’s Center, African American Cultural Center and Office of Multicultural Affairs. The Office of Diversity aims to make the University comfortable for all by celebrating diversity with its motto “Diversity is good for everyone.” If students haven’t learned to live, play and study with those of different backgrounds in college, they won’t be prepared for a diverse workplace, Vice Provost for Diversity Dereck Rovaris said.
“If you come to LSU and you leave this place and you don’t have an understanding about diversity, then we’ve failed,” he said. Although the University saw a “slight tick” in overall enrollment, diversity continues improving every year, LSU President F. King Alexander said. This incoming freshman class is the largest African-American class in the University’s history and the largest Hispanic entering class. “In the next lifetime, many of our graduates are going to be working in a world that looks like the United Nations,” Alexander said. “I think part of the educational process is ensuring that our students know what the world is going to be like.” University administration is working to close the gap between marginalized and minority
students and the white student population, Alexander said. Students are more likely to respect each other when they know each other and interact together, he said. In not fostering a diverse learning environment, students are ill-equipped to enter the real world at the fault of the University, Alexander said. Baton Rouge had a tumultuous summer, including budget cuts, the shootings of Alton Sterling and three police officers and the August flooding. With the start of the semester and return to routine, the effects of these events can become an afterthought in people’s minds. “We get on with life, and that’s good, because it is a sense of normalcy for many of those that are affected,” Rovaris said. “But, we

division a town like Baton Rouge isn’t lacking. I know Yiannopoulos is a professional troll, and I know he probably doesn’t buy most of what he’s selling. I actually think he’s a smart guy with big ideas. His art is provocation for the sake of provocation. I get his pitch: by amplifying divisive rhetoric to socially intolerable and upsetting levels, he’s supposedly exposing an unflattering subcurrent of whiny, righteous pomposity that resides somewhere in the progressive left. But I had a hard time looking out on that packed house last night and believing all those members of the University community, vehemently applauding the public degradation of plus-sized women, were in on the joke. I value free speech as much as the next college newspaper editor. I never questioned Yiannopoulos’ right to speak on campus, nor Students for Trump’s right to invite him. But I am beginning to question the standards by which we judge performers who occupy our University’s main stage. How hateful must a performer’s rhetoric be for the University to at least speak out against it? Until we better define those standards, the University should publicly denounce Yiannopoulos’ performance, as well as the words of political science professor Benjamin Acosta, whose introduction called upon the audience to “resist all the f*cktard liberals.” Yiannopoulos and Acosta had every right to say what they said, just like I have every right to rebuke them. The administrators of Louisiana’s flagship university have not only a right, but a responsibility to rebuke them as well.
more important now than it has ever been.” Stefson Arnold, a political science and philosophy student at Loyola University New Orleans, said he attended the event to support Republican Senate candidate, retired Col. Rob Maness. “The event was very lively,” Arnold said. “We had a speaker who spoke the truth about his views, and he basically said that he supports free speech.” Arnold said he enjoyed Yiannopoulos’ event and felt everything he said was truthful. “Our bodies are up to us and what we want to do with them,” Arnold said. Arnold said he supported the “GOP all the way.” Jacob Schmitt, another student from Loyola University New Orleans majoring in general business, was also there to support Maness, but did not claim a political affiliation. “I’ve never been to anything like that before,” Schmitt said. “It was eye-opening. I thought it was entertaining. He was a great host. The drag was awesome. But I don’t support the whole Trump stuff, really.” Schmitt said he thought some of the things Yiannopoulos said went too far and were “overboard.” “I’m all for everybody being healthy and stuff, but he took a picture of some guy at the gym who was obese, and it’s like, that guy is working out, cut him some slack,” Schmitt said. After the event, Acosta said that while his views did not align with some of the things Yiannopoulos said, he believed Yiannopoulos’ statements were protected under the First Amendment right of free speech.
113 students, from fall 2015 figures. The decrease comes after the University extended the undergraduate registration deadline to Aug. 25 to accommodate students affected by the regional flooding. While a significant improvement overall, enrollment numbers are still down from fall 2015 totals for half of the undergraduate schools and all graduate programs. The graduate programs, each of which have an enrollment below 800 students, suffered the greatest blow. The E.J. Ourso College of Business lost the most graduate students with a decrease of 46, followed by the College of Agriculture with a net decrease of 35 students and the College of Engineering, which was down 29 students compared to fall 2015 enrollment. Enrollment also fell in eight other senior colleges and among non-degree graduate students. Enrollment varied more widely among the undergraduate programs. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences increased undergraduate enrollment by 154 students, a 5 percent net increase from fall 2015. The University Center for Freshman Year also increased its enrollment by 151 students, followed by the College of Engineering with 87 more undergraduates. These programs are followed by the College of Business with 41 more students, the College of Music and Dramatic Arts with 14 and the College of the Coast and Environment with nine. An equal number of undergraduate colleges and programs experienced enrollment declines compared to fall 2015. The University Center for Advising and Counseling’s enrollment fell by 216 undergraduates,
the College of Human Sciences and Education reported a decrease of 93 students and the College of Science declined by 89 undergraduates, according to the Office of Budget and Planning data. Other colleges and programs that experienced losses were the College of Agriculture, the College of Art and Design and the Manship School of Mass Communication, with net losses of 64, 23 and 17 undergraduate students, respectively. Even the incoming class, though accomplished, is reporting enrollment numbers below its 2015 counterpart. Despite being the University’s highest academic-achieving freshman class, with an average GPA of 3.4 and an ACT composite score of 25.7, the group is still 149 students smaller than the incoming class of fall 2015. Despite overall losses, the University boasted its most diverse student body on record. African-American and Hispanic student enrollment grew in all areas, including undergraduate, graduate and total enrollment. Total African-American and Hispanic student enrollment reached highs of 3,741 and 1,820, respectively. Undergraduate enrollment among Asian students also increased to an all-time high of 1,099 students. Alexander praised the University’s increased diversity in a statement released Wednesday. “We are proud to welcome one of our most diverse student bodies ever to LSU,” Alexander said. “For three consecutive years now, we’ve been able to celebrate new records for the number of African-American and Hispanic graduates, and we expect to maintain that trajectory moving forward.”

“There seems to be this pervasive interaction of police officers and African Americans, particularly males, that ends in death. That is just not acceptable,” Rovaris said. Alexander said access to education could have prevented Sterling from ever being in the situation in the first place, blaming the opportunities he didn’t have for
his death. Not acknowledging the tragedy and its aftermath means the conflict may never be resolved. The Office of Diversity sponsored a community meeting regarding the protests following the Sterling shooting. As part of continuing conversation, the University will host a presidential symposium, “Moment or Movement? A National
Dialogue on Identity, Empowerment, and Justice for All” on Oct. 3 and Oct. 4. The symposium will examine the summer events and their effects. Practicing an open dialogue and addressing student concerns about the shooting will be vital as decisions regarding those involved are made, Rovaris said.

‘They just beat us up’
Few Tigers say last trip to Jordan-Hare Stadium was one of the ‘worst’ losses of their career BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Senior tight end DeSean Smith couldn’t remember the final score from No. 18 LSU’s last trip to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. “Forty-two to something, I think,” he recalled. On the walls of the LSU indoor practice facility, two pages of computer paper hang with two numbers typed in large font. Now he remembers. “41-7.” The sheets of paper around the
facility are a reminder of the smacking LSU received from Auburn two seasons ago and serve as a motivational tool. Two losses in senior wide receiver Travin Dural’s career stick out in his mind. One being a 63-point shutout loss to Acadiana High School during his prep ball days at Breaux Bridge High School. The other? The 34-point thrashing Auburn delivered to LSU on Oct. 4, 2014. “That was one of the worst games
VOLLEYBALL
Tigers remain without first victory in PMAC LSU’s volleyball team just hasn’t been able to figure it out yet. The Tigers (5-6) have played, and lost, a total of five games on their newly-installed home floor at the PMAC. In three of those five matches, LSU was swept in straight sets. According to LSU coach Fran Flory, the team’s youth is playing a role in its failures at home. “We’re still learning how to handle the pressures of playing at home,” she said. “That comes with our inexperience … Sometimes the girls try to do too much at home because they’re trying to perform well in front of the fans.”
Despite their recent struggles at home, Tiger fans continue showing up for home games, which pleases some LSU players. “I’d say the support at home has been pretty great even though we haven’t won here yet,” said junior outside hitter Gina Tillis. Although LSU received a solid turnout for its home game against Baylor on Sept. 14, many students decided to make an exit before halftime. “That always happens when we give away a free T-shirt,” Flory said in reference to the promotion for the game. “We understand that is the mindset of the student body right now.” In order to change their luck at the PMAC and beyond, the Ti-
gers have recently started using an accountability system at practice. The buddy system pairs two players together for practice. The goal is to hold players accountable for one another and practice with a greater intensity and a quicker pace. “We just started using the accountability system, but I think it has already translated to our attitude on the court,” said senior middle blocker Tiara Gibson. “We’ve played with a lot more intensity in the past two games because of it, and if it wasn’t for our mental mistakes, I think we would already have a home win by now.”

With a name like “Vampira,” after one or two coats, this shade reflects an expected deep burgundy and wine hue. While bold and vibrant, the studded kiss lipsticks are likely to smear.

Painting and Pinot offers autumn-themed classes BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler Through classes with various themes, local art studio Painting and Pinot prepares its guests for the autumn season. The studio held a “Fall Leaves” painting class Wednesday night from 7 until 9 p.m. For a $35 registration fee, beginners and professionals alike were invited to Painting and Pinot for an autumnthemed painting session. Located on Perkins Road, Painting and Pinot has been in business since 2010. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Chris and Violet Tremblay, the business’ purpose, according to its website, is to make people happy.
The business chooses paintings that are relevant to the season, upcoming holidays, local events and the Baton Rouge community, Violet Tremblay said. “Fall Leaves was chosen because — let’s face it — who isn’t ready for fall weather?” she said. Over the next month, Painting and Pinot guests can expect many more fall-themed classes, including pumpkin, harvest and Halloween themes ranging from ghosts to dragons. From 7 until 9 p.m. on Sept. 28, guests can attend a pumpkin painting class and create home decor that can be put to use through the entire fall season. In light of the recent flooding, Painting and Pinot also added many Louisiana-themed paint-
ings to its event calendar. An “LA Strong” class will be held Oct. 3, and a “Starry Night in Baton Rouge” class will be offered Oct. 14. Instructors guide guests through the step-by-step process of creating the featured painting. The registration fee covers all of the needed materials, including the 16”x20” canvas, paint, brushes, easel and apron, as posted on the website. The business also offers private parties, which can be used to celebrate birthdays, engagements, weddings and more. Guests of legal drinking age are highly encouraged to bring along their favorite

For a gloss, this shade’s melted chocolate-clay color is eye-catching and would pair well with either a matte or creamy lipstick of the same hue or could stand alone on a bare lip. Although a great choice, the gloss had an artificial flavor and a plasticlike smell.

Yiannopoulos event counterproductive to education, debate ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley Wednesday night, I went undercover to listen to Milo Yiannopoulos spew his rhetoric on fat shaming to the University’s deplorables. At the event, I learned that even the most atrocious iterations of free speech are protected … as long as a white man is saying it. He began the event by singing the national anthem in a mocking fashion while dressed in drag. He made strange faces and used irregular tones for the song. Everyone laughed, applauded and sang with him. Hypocrites. The people who cheered Yiannopoulos for mocking our nation’s song are most likely the same people who shamed Colin Kaepernick for sitting during it. Apparently, peacefully protesting the anthem is wrong, but outwardly mocking it is okay. Now, imagine if someone like Ru Paul went on stage and sang the anthem the same way Yiannopoulos did. Would the audience have reacted the
same way? The anthem is a small matter compared to the bulk of his event: fat shaming. The event, titled “Fat Shaming Works,” boosts the idea of fat shaming women to an audience of frat guys who, if we’re being completely honest, had dad bods themselves. To support his claim, Yiannopoulos cited studies from Harvard and UCLA that said most people lose weight because they were pressured by their family and peers to do so. Ironically, he went on a 10-minute spiel beforehand saying how universities are basically useless and don’t serve their intended function. Throughout his speech, Yiannopoulos’ lack of concern for overweight men was apparent. His entire speech spoke of obesity among women, and all the examples he used spoke of women, barring the gym selfie he took with an overweight man in the background. Here is a man telling a room of mostly men that they should fat shame women into losing weight. What’s worse is that he’s wearing drag while doing this. He’s taking what is typically an LGBTQ tribute to empower women, and using it to mock them instead. Talking about
obesity in the United States could be an interesting conversation. However, he loses all credibility when he uses his platform to shame women. Let’s take a look at the substance of his argument. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 36.5 percent of U.S. adults are overweight. The CDC also reports that non-Hispanic blacks had the highest level of obesity at 48.1 percent. Hispanics came in second at 42.5 percent, and 34.5 percent of white Americans are obese. However, Yiannopoulos failed to account for how someone’s socioeconomic status could affect their weight. How do you expect lower-income people to eat healthily? When do the working class have time to cook when they’re working overtime? People on food stamps don’t have the extra money to afford healthier food. And regardless of all the factors he failed to mention, his form of fat shaming is just wrong. Unless you constantly work out and eat healthily, you have no right to shame someone’s body or lifestyle. Some people have a more difficult time losing weight, and being thin does not equate to being healthy.
HASKELL WHITTINGTON / The Daily Reveille
Milo Yiannopoulos speaks on multiple topics such as fat shaming during his speech on Wednesday in the LSU Union Theatre. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, about 30 million people across the United States suffer from an eating disorder, and at least one person dies from an eating disorder every 62 minutes. Fat shaming wouldn’t necessarily make people healthy. It would only increase the number of people with eating disorders. But, as long as men don’t have
to look at women they don’t find appealing, who cares, right? Students for Trump got its wish and its free speech, but in the end, its members learned nothing but superficial facts. Instead of being enlightened, now they feel more justified in their bigotry. Cody Sibley is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Opelousas, Louisiana.
People must find balance between political correctness, basic decency LYNNE YOU A HAND LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 Clark University’s new chief diversity officer led a presentation at the school’s freshmen orientation that focused on “microaggressions.” Microaggressions, a word associated with subtle snubs and insults, elicit strong opinions from both ends of the political spectrum. To some, it is a real problem that harms marginalized groups. To others, it is nothing more than liberals trying to find an insult in everything they hear or see. The word is becoming a central part of the argument over political correctness. Microaggressions are just one small part of a larger, more polarized battle. Over the past
couple of years, many discussions have erupted over when it is and isn’t OK to use certain slurs, what costumes are culturally appropriative and how far university or government officials should go to help put an end to discriminatory actions. Both sides go extreme with their views on the subject. The world would be a lot simpler if people could just go out of their way to make others happy, while not getting unhappy over the smaller things. However, that’s not what is going on in the country today. The “conservative nutjobs” seem to go out of their way to show off their controversial opinions, and the “social justice warriors” seem to cry over any missed apology. During a summer vacation to Alabama, I saw many Tshirts with Confederate flags on

them. One read, “I’d rather be politically incorrect than historically inaccurate.” Anyone who wears those Tshirts has the right to express their opinion, but it baits everyone into an unnecessary fight. I am all for debating controversial topics, but putting them on T-shirt seems like an effort to be offensive. In late 2015, Yale University sent students an email telling them to avoid wearing “culturally unaware” Halloween costumes. A Yale professor responded with her own email, questioning whether or not the administration should set those kinds of norms. Many students responded to the professor’s email with outrage, organizing protests and yelling about how the email made them no longer feel safe in their environment. Viral videos of the protests arose, and they showed
how ridiculous the students were acting, calling authorities disgusting to their face and being generally disrespectful. While they rightfully expressed their opinion, just like those who wear Confederate flag T-shirts, they did it in an antagonizing and unwarranted manner. I encourage people to keep having these important, albeit uncomfortable conversations about things that offend them, but revolutionary-style outrage isn’t needed for something as trivial as an email. Political correctness is a highly nuanced situation, and people need to remember that when arguing over it. I understand things like microaggressions and other forms of insults can be damaging and harmful, but I also understand that there are a lot of people whose innocent methods of expression might send the

wrong message. When a person says they are hurt by a microaggression, take it easy on them. Maybe that person is more sensitive than you’ll ever be, but that doesn’t give you the right to push the insult further. The same goes for the other side. If someone is making a subtle insult, go easy on them as well. If they aren’t in your shoes, they might not even know the harm they cause. At the end of the day, everyone needs to learn to have a middle ground and realize that those around them are people just like they are. The only way to move forward as a country is to try to respect each other and to be tolerant of our differences. Lynne Bunch is an 18-year-old mass communication freshman from Terrytown, Louisiana.

Thursday, September 22, 2016 CAJUN CLASSIC, from page 3 said LSU coach Jeff Brown. “USC has won several national championships recently. The first tournament is always exciting, especially when freshmen that are getting their first look at college tennis.” Butsch and Daigle enter the tournament ranked within the ITA’s preseason Top 125 Rankings. Butsch is No. 49, Daigle is No. 35, and the duo is the 28th-ranked in the ITA Doubles rankings. “We knew what we had with those guys coming back,” Brown said. “Jordan could certainly play in the later rounds of the NCAA Individual Tournament at the end of year.” Daigle, who won the Cajun Classic singles title last year, is seeded second in the tournament and will face Henry Ji of
REVENGE, from page 3 [I’ve] ever been a part of,” Dural said. “I’m hoping we never go through that again.” Auburn opened the game by scoring four straight touchdowns, and LSU found itself in a 28-7 deficit by halftime. Auburn (1-2, 0-1 SEC) gashed LSU for 566 yards of total offense, the most in the series history, while LSU only totaled 280 yards. The 34-point margin of victory tied for the most in the 50game series history. “The receivers weren’t getting open,” Dural said of the loss. “We weren’t helping out Brandon [Harris]. The running game wasn’t what it should’ve been because the passing game wasn’t working. They just beat us up all around, from the receivers, to the running backs, to the line, to the tackles.” Junior, now reserve quarterback Harris entered in Jordan-Hare Stadium and made his first career start in front of 87,451 noisy Auburn fans. The then-freshman was replaced by former quaterback Anthony Jennings after only completing
USC in the first round. “I’m not trying to go into it just to win the tournament,” Daigle said. “I’m just trying to start the year off well by playing some good matches and just getting settled in. I had a down year last season in the spring, so I’m kind of looking to rebound off of that. I don’t really pay much attention to the rankings in the fall.” Butsch is seeded third and will face Leo Telles of Texas in third round. Nick Crystal of USC defeated Butsch, 6-2, 7-6, in the semifinals of last year’s Cajun Classic. “The first tournament in the fall is always tough trying to get back into things,” Butsch said. “I think we’ve been training hard, and I feel fit, so I think we’ll have a little bit of a lead on the competition we’ll be facing.” Butsch and Daigle will
also begin doubles on Friday, facing UL’s Michael Kritzinger and Ole Miss’ Tim Sandkaulen. Freshmen Rafael Wagner and Julian Saborio, from Brazil and Costa Rica, respectively, will begin their college careers at the Cajun Classic. “Our freshmen are certainly further along than most freshmen,” Brown said. “Julian’s almost 20, and Rafael is very mature for his age.” As seniors, Daigle and Butsch have taken on a leadership role on the team, which lost three seniors after last season. “Our new freshmen are adjusting well,” Daigle said. “They’re good players, and I’m just trying to help them along in a tournament setting. They haven’t really played in a college tournament and they don’t really know what it’s like.”
3-of-14 passes for 58 yards. “The night was awful from start to finish,” Harris said defeatedly after the game. “I came out and played terrible. I can’t even put a grade on it.” Senior defensive end Lewis Neal was 22 pounds lighter, then, too. He played out of position during that 2014 game, and after playing in a hostile environment such as Auburn, Neal doesn’t want LSU to end up with the same results on Saturday. “I made sure that the guys playing now know what the atmosphere is and go in there and be ready,” Neal said. “Just make sure you know when you’re going there — be ready to play some ball.” Now, Auburn isn’t in the same position it was two seasons ago. Auburn finds itself with a losing record, and haven’t won an SEC home game since October 2014. But LSU still isn’t taking them lightly. “We know it’s going to be a tough game,” Dural said. “We can’t overlook any game. We know they’re going to come out and play hard.”
HOME, from page 3 Although LSU is motivated to finally win at home, the team recently received advice from volleyball players of years past. LSU welcomed back more than 70 volleyball alumnae on Sept. 18 when the Tigers played the Florida State Seminoles. “The alumnae really helped us put our season in perspective,” Gibson said. “It was nice to get their input.” The Tigers open Southeasten Conference play this weekend when they travel to Alabama to take on the Auburn Tigers. Following the match, LSU will resume its chase for its first home victory, when it faces Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Missouri in a three-week home stretch.
GAMECOCKS, from page 3 any time, it’s now right before SEC play,” said senior forward Summer Clarke. “I’m pretty confident in the team and everyone’s abilities going into SEC play.” The Tigers and Gamecocks tied in their regular season matchup in Baton Rouge in 2015. LSU had not won in the previous six meetings versus South Carolina, dating back to 2009. The Tigers nearly ended their slump against South Carolina last year when they tied in a 1-1 match with then-sophomore forward Jorian Baucom’s goal. Baucom comes into this week’s match fresh off being named to TopDrawerSoccer.com’s na-
tional Team of the Week with five goals scored over the course of the weekend. The Tigers are shaping into form, solidifying their starting 11 after beginning the year with multiple new players. “Early in the year we were integrating anywhere from four to six new kids on the field at any point,” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “So the players were getting used to each other, and the coaches were trying to figure out the best way to deploy each player to maximize their strengths and we think we’ve gotten a whole lot closer to that set up.” The Tigers will move on to Nashville to play Vanderbilt on Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. before returning home.

Thursday, September 22, 2016 CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS
Students charged with simple battery after writing on passed out student in Herget Two University students were charged with simple battery after drawing on another student with a Sharpie while she was passed out. LSU PD Spokesperson Scott said LSUPD responded to a simple battery around 3:30 a.m. Sunday at Herget Hall. The victim, a University student, said she woke up after falling asleep in the lobby of Herget and had Sharpie drawings all over her skin, Scott said. The woman
said she was told that two University students, Bond Morris and Ethan Fleck, had drawn on her while she was unconscious on the couch, Scott said. When LSUPD met with Morris and Fleck, they both admitted to drawing on the woman. They were both transported to the Public Safety Building where they each received a misdemeanor summons for simple battery.

Non-student adds to Unwelcomed tailgaters start gameday fight on Parade Ground long history with LSUPD Scott said three non-student men were charged with second degree battery and disturbing the peace after starting a fight on the Parade Ground during Saturday’s gameday. Around 6 p.m., LSUPD responded to a reported fight by a tailgate on the south side of the Parade Ground, Scott said. Upon arriving, Scott said the officers detained the three
individuals, Joseph Manuel, James Baggett and John Baggett, and talked to witnesses at the tailgate. Witnesses reported the three individuals came up to their tailgate intoxicated and wanted to start a fight, Scott said. When a patron asked them to leave the tailgate, the three attacked the victim, pushing him on the ground, Scott said. The three then
proceeded to kick and punch the victim lying on the ground. EMS transported the victim to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital for a minor injury. Scott said Manuel, James Baggett and John Baggett were all transported to the Public Safety Building, where they were processed and turned over to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office to be booked on the charges.
A man who has had 11 run-ins with LSUPD since 2012 was charged with returning or remaining after being forbidden, Scott said. On Tuesday, around 12:30 p.m., Scott said LSUPD was called to the Student Union regarding a suspicious person. A complainant from an office inside the Union said the man had come into the office and made employees uncomfortable by what he was saying and doing,
Scott said. LSUPD identified the man as Bryan Brown. Brown, who is well known by LSUPD, has already been in contact with officers twice prior to this incident, according to Scott. Brown’s other encounters with LSUPD include trespassing on campus in multiple locations, Scott said. This time, he was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for returning or remaining after being forbidden.
ACADEMICS
LSU faculty senate proposing new engaged citizen program for students BY EMILEY DILLON @missnolausa2017 The University may soon implement a new program recognizing students with significant achievements in service. The LSU Faculty Senate met Sept. 7, to discuss multiple important issues involving the future of higher education. One of the major proposals up for discussion was the Engaged Citizen Program. This program would recognize students who have completed a minimum of seven credit hours that are service-related, 100 approved hours of community service and a community service-related essay. This program would serve as a University-level honor for students, similar to the Distinguished Communicator honor.
According to the LSU Faculty Senate agenda, this type of program has already been established at multiple other universities, and would continue the growth of engagement on campus. This program would team up with Volunteer LSU and Center for Community Engagement, Learning and Leadership facilities to provide servicerelated courses and tracking for students. “We are excited about its potential, but it is in the idea phase right now,” said Volunteer LSU Assistant Director Josh Dean. Students receiving the Engaged Citizen honor would receive a designed lapel pin commemorating the achievement, a note on their transcript and recognition in their graduation program.

Thursday, September 22, 2016 LANGE, from page 4 “[Students] don’t know much about [the Depression]...Now they do,” Robins said. During the economic downfall of the ’30s, Lange’s photograph captured the harsh realities many families endured across America. Her other works, including “Unemployed Men on Howard Street” and “Girl with Mattress Springs,” also illustrate the brutal hardships Americans faced. Author Linda Gordon, who is quoted in the exhibit, wrote about the way Lange’s photography changed Americans’ perspectives of themselves and their country. “Her message — that beauty, intelligence and moral strength are found among people of all circumstances — has profound political implications,” Gordon said. “Her greatest commitment, though, was what she called ‘the visual life.’” Lange’s photography embodied the resilience and beauty in everyday people, such as mothers, sharecroppers and children. In one photo entitled “Bessie, Daughter of Zion, Mother of Three,” Lange describes
PAINTING, from page 4 beverages. Having a BYOB business “adds to the level of fun,” Tremblay said. “When guests leave my classes, first and foremost, I hope they leave thinking about how much fun they had,” she said. “I tell all of my classes that they are not here to stress, so sit back, take a sip of wine and relax!” Though the classes target people of all ages, it can be difficult to appeal to everyone. Painting and Pinot gears its classes toward friends looking for “a different type of girls’ night out,”
American country women as “women of the American soil.” “They are a hardy stock. They are the roots of our country. They are not our well-advertised women of beauty and fashion. These women represent a different mode of life. They are of themselves a very great American style. They live with courage and purpose, a part of our tradition,” Lange’s quote in the exhibit reads. Along with Lange’s photography, there are also readings available and an educational video provided by the museum. Lange also spent time touring Louisiana, as the exhibit hosts a section of photos Lange took in various areas of the state, including Bayou LaFourche and Shreveport. Lange’s work in the South focused on individuality and personality, highlighting the African-American community as shown in the 1937 photograph, “Louisiana Negress” — a portrait of a proud black woman shielding her face from the hot Louisiana sun with an umbrella. “Dorothea Lange’s America” is available for viewing until Oct. 30 at the West Baton Rouge Museum.
Tremblay said. Throughout her six-year run at Painting and Pinot, Tremblay said she has learned how crucial it is to “stay relevant in your community” and to “strive to be a part of the community.” While she can feel washed out and overwhelmed by the business aspect, she said the art itself never gets old. “Every class is a new opportunity to show someone that they can paint — they can make something beautiful,” Tremblay said. “Seeing the joy and excitement in our painters never gets old.”
FALL LIP SHADES, from page 4 “WOLVESMOUTH” Distinctive in name and color, “Wolvesmouth” sparkles with a metallic sheen and can be worn during all seasons. The deep fuschia color is matured in this lipstick with the help of the dark and heavy application. Brand: Kat Von D Type: Studded Kiss Lipstick Price: $21 “COUNTESS” Pumpkin inspiration isn’t limited to lattes. Whether subtle or bold, this vibrant and tropical shade will complete any beauty look. “Countess” is a year-round shade. Tone down the bright color by blending a darker lip liner around the line of your lips down toward the center to create an orange ombre look. Brand: Kat Von D Type: Studded Kiss Lipstick Price: $21
“GOTHICA” This gold and sparkling shade is more than a single-purpose lipstick. “Gothica” can be used as a top coat for a darker base shade, a back-up eyeshadow or highlighter. Its luminous qualities make this shade a must-have for your makeup bag.
“RULE 34” As NAKED’s eyeshadow pallets remain beauty bloggers’ favorites, they also produce a sheer sticky lip gloss perfect for an easy upgrade to your lip routine. Long-lasting and tinted, “Rule 34” is another shade that can be worn 365 days of the year.
Brand: Kat Von D Type: Studded Kiss Lipstick Price: $21
Brand: Urban Decay Type: Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss Price: $20
“DEBORAH” With a buttery and smooth texture, professional application and consistent clay brown color, this lipstick is the most universal out of all the shades. On lighter skin tones, this shade would be a bold yet subtle statement color, while on darker skin tones, “Deborah” would provide a polished and trendy “nude lip.” Brand: NARS Type: Audacious Lipstick Price: $32
“BROWNIE” This coffee-colored lip paint applies smoothly and dries flat, still rich in color. Like NARS’ “Deborah,” this shade embodies fall lip colors. “Brownie” is a great take on the chocolate-nude shade women with brown skin have begged for. Brand: Tarte Type: Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint Price: $20
