‘When it rains,
it pours’
Students return to campus following a tumultuous summer of loss BY KATIE GAGLIANO and LAUREN HEFFKER @katie_gagliano | @laurheffker

Baton Rouge residents weathered an array of emotions this summer — from disgust and outrage after the killings of Alton Sterling and three area law enforcement officers to heartbreak and devastation when flooding rampaged through South Louisiana. For University students, many of whom watched the summer’s events unfold from out of state, fear may have also been added to the mix. Mass communication sophomore Marquez Anderson followed the events from his hometown, McComb, Mississippi. Though he was not in Baton Rouge at the time of the shootings, he said the tragedies and subsequent protests made him apprehensive about returning to the University. “When you have to start being fearful about your life and the people around you, it just takes things to a whole different level,” Anderson said. “That’s what made it so scary for me.” He said he knew a few people in Baton Rouge at the time of the shootings, but they were not hurt. Even though emotions from that divisive July were somewhat extinguished by the floodwaters of the last week, Anderson said he was still worried about how the campus would come together when the semester began. “Baton Rouge was divided at some point,” he said. “It felt like it was a war between Americans and the police themselves. It’s not really something that can just be resolved overnight.”
University students and alumni organized and led several events this summer in an attempt to unite the community. Two rallies, a “Unity Prayer” and the “Forever Baton Rouge” vigil, were held at Memorial Tower following the deaths of Sterling and the three law enforcement officers: Brad Garafola, Montrell Jackson and Matthew Gerald. Anderson said his parents did not try to talk him out of coming back to the University, though he said they did have concerns. Together, they discussed how to handle certain situations, places he should avoid and times he should not go to certain areas. “They had their doubts about what was going on because it seemed like … no one was working toward a resolution,” Anderson said. “When things of that nature are going on, any parent will naturally feel concern for their child.” Petroleum engineering junior Drumil Parekh echoed those sentiments of fear and worry. He heard the news of Baton Rouge’s shootings from his home in Singapore and began to worry for his friends back in Louisiana. He said some of his friends stayed in their homes, scared to leave, while others tried to find ways to help. “They felt a little helpless in this case,” Parekh said. “They felt like they didn’t have much say out there.” Parekh, who works as a residential assistant in Blake Hall, said RAs underwent training that included information on how to talk to incoming

University rushed start of semester BY ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair The storm that flooded Southeast Louisiana did not end with the rain that fell on the weekend of Aug. 12. The true storm came afterwards, when families returned to their homes to find entire neighborhoods destroyed and their belongings floating in the streets. Those who did not have friends and family to stay with became the tens of thousands of people living in shelters throughout Louisiana. Now, students across the state are burdened with the looming responsibility of returning to school this week. In an Aug. 19 broadcast email, LSU President F. King Alexander said classes would begin as scheduled because “it is critically important for our community to continue moving forward even as we help our friends and family recover,” and that “healing requires a sense of normalcy and routine and comfort.” Alexander also conceded that some students and faculty members will not be able to “join us yet.” The University has set up a food pantry in the Student Union that is accessible to all students and a medical shelter in the Carl Maddox Field House. It has also set up a Student Relief Fund that will distribute money to students who lost possessions in the flood. But for students like biology junior Josh Johnson, these resources are simply not enough. “It was 4 a.m. when the water started coming in the house in Central, where I live,” he said. Johnson and his family lost everything. Their home, their cars and their financial stability were taken by the eight feet of water that invaded their neighborhood.

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY
RAs, students assist in setting up campus shelter BY NATALIE ANDERSON @natalie_mechell The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals set up a medical needs shelter in the University’s Carl Maddox Fieldhouse on Sunday for refugees unable to receive medical attention from general population shelters. University resident assistants helped set up the shelter. The shelter provides disaster medical assistance teams for refugees in need of treatment for chronic illnesses, disabilities and nursing care.
RETURN, from page 1 students about the summer’s tragedies. They learned how to broach the topic and how to guide the conversation. Accounting sophomore Kendall Calvin, an RA in Kirby-Smith Hall, is from the Baton Rouge area. She said the events surrounding the shootings were new, terrifying experiences for her and many of her friends. “We’ve never had anything like that happen here,” Calvin said. “We knows there’s always issues with the police in some parts of town, but we’ve never witnessed it in that big of a scale.” Following the shootings, Calvin said she was worried about things escalating further. She felt the situation would not get out of control, as Louisianians “can think level-headed when [they] need to.” Sofia Horadam, a biology sophomore from Victoria, Texas,
Natural resource ecology and management sophomore Sam Moore, an RA for the West Campus Apartments, helped to set up cots and provide supplies to the shelter. He said that some of the refugees assisted in the set-up. “It was just really nice to see that that many people would come out to help out,” Moore said. “People wanted to help.” Despite a two-and-a-half hour delay because of a flat tire on a supply truck, most of the volunteers that came stayed until the very end to wait on the truck, Moore said. He and the other
WCA RAs spent five hours that evening setting up the shelter. International studies sophomore Jorge Acevedo, another RA for WCA, also assisted in the set up. “I was getting a bit stir-crazy because I actually lived in one of the areas affected,” Acevedo said. “This actually, to be honest, was more for me than anything because I actually felt like I could finally do something.” Acevedo said that there was a surplus of supplies. When there
said she was well-acquainted with the Black Lives Matter movement and the dialogue surrounding police brutality prior to the shootings. When news of Sterling’s death first broke, she viewed it as “just another shooting.” But then came a moment of sobering realization. “It was like, ‘Wow … this is where I live,’” Horadam said. “It was weird to think about.” Horadam said she thinks people are nervous, particularly since the Sterling shooting did not happen too far from campus and several violent neighborhoods border the University. Concerns did not end with the shootings. Students and parents also worried over possible damage to the University and surrounding areas from historic floodwaters, which the American Red Cross deemed the “worst natural disaster to strike the United States since Superstorm Sandy.” More than 40,000 homes were
affected by flooding across the state, according to the Red Cross, and more than seven trillion gallons of rain fell over the course of a few days — enough to fill 10 million Olympic-sized swimming pools. Parekh said he did not see the worst of the flood, as he was living on campus and the University sustained minimal damage, according to LSU President F. King Alexander’s email update Friday. He heard students moving in talk about how bad flooding was in their homes and saw them sharing pictures of the damage. He said parents and students did not mention any concerns about campus safety during move-in because “there were too many other things going on.” “People were just happy about the fact they’re moving in, and they’re getting into the dorms safely,” Parekh said. Calvin said she started to feel overwhelmed when the flooding

She said knowing her friends and family were safe helped her diminish much of her concern. Some of the early arrivals on campus during the flood were also stressed, she said. Calvin hasn’t spoken to many out-of-state students about the summer. She said she could tell from move-in that many were concerned, though she said she thinks most of them will be able to adapt as the fall semester begins. “Baton Rouge is a special place,” Calvin said. “Even though we’ve been through a lot, we’re coming back a lot stronger. It’s going to be fun to see how we come up from this.” William Taylor Potter contributed to this report.

‘All about execution’ Brandon Harris grooving more fitting chemistry with tailbacks, receivers BY JOSHUA THORNTON | @JoshuaThornton_ Crowded by a throng of reporters, LSU junior quarterback Brandon Harris holds court. Media members question the 6-foot-3, 212-pound signal caller about his sports hernia injury from 2015, which he played with during the season. Harris was then asked how the team practices without All-Southeastern Conference running back Leonard Fournette, who is hampered by an ankle sprain. Harris motions, pointing to his 5-foot-11, 212-pound backup running back, submerged by another flock of media members. “You see that guy behind you?” Harris said of sophomore running back Derrius Guice. “One day he’ll be the man here on campus.” The strength of the offense lies in the backfield, as talent and experience back Harris. But underuse of the team’s vast spate of talent has often been criticized. To some, the art of developing a quarterback is considered an Achilles heel of LSU coach Les Miles. By Miles’ account, the offense isn’t broken — it just needs some fine-tuning, a key focus for the Tigers this offseason, both Harris and Miles have said. Through spring and fall practice, quarterback play highlighted a need to fix a
passing offense that ranked 105th in the nation last season. For the first time since 2013, Miles will have the same starting quarterback under center in back-to-back seasons. The 12th year head coach said he is starting to see progress. “He continues to improve,” Miles said. “He has much more poise. He’s putting people in position. He’s acting like our quarterback should act.” Wide receiver coach Dameyune Craig and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron employed new drills meant to fix Harris’ short game: check downs, quick slants and lob passes to the sidelines and corners. To improve accuracy, Cameron had his quarterbacks throw a football through a tire swinging back and forth from a tree. To work on softer throws, Craig asked the quarterbacks to stand under a goal post, throw a football over the post and perfectly land it in a net on the opposite side. The drills have further shown Harris the threat of running backs like Fournette and Guice, and how effective they can be hauling in receptions. “I started checking the ball down because Derrius Guice and Leonard Fournette
can take a five-yard pass and take it 85,” Harris said. Harris isn’t wrong, history says. Last season, Fournette caught 19 passes — the Tigers’ third-greatest total last season — and averaged 13.3 yards per catch, with his longest pitch and catch going for 46 yards against Ole Miss on Nov. 21. As for LSU’s top two wide receivers, chemistry is no longer an issue for Harris and his wideouts. Harris threw roughly half of his completions to junior wide receiver Malachi Dupre and fifth-year senior Travin Dural. For Dural, better execution is a distinct improvement in the Tigers’ passing game. “It’s all about execution,” Dural said. “You can call a play that the defense knows. It doesn’t really matter. If you execute it the right way, someone is going to be open. That’s the difference between this year and last year.” Of course, the offense’s focal point will be Fournette, but a culmination of chemistry, experience and an emphasis on the passing game could pay off dividends for the Tigers’ hopeful 2016 championship run. “This year is just ready to take off,” Harris said.
The Associated Press released its preseason poll on Sunday and LSU checked in at No. 5. Alabama ranked No. 1 followed by Clemson, Oklahoma, Florida State and LSU rounding out the first five. It’s the highest preseason ranking for the Tigers since 2012 and six Southeastern Conference teams ranked inside the top 25. The Tigers return 17 starters on both sides of the ball after going 9-3 in their 2015 campaign.

Flooding response commendable despite lack of coverage ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley
The flooding that devastated our state last week was the worst natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy, according to the Red Cross — yet no one outside Louisiana would know. According to the Wall Street Journal, at least 40,000 homes were flooded, leaving almost 4,000 people in shelters. If you ever needed a reason for anger or disdain, this event would be it. Until recently, we had almost no national coverage, and our presidential candidates did not comment on the events until days after the flooding occurred. The optics of President Obama continuing his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard even though some of his most vulnerable citizens were under water stung, to say the least. Most of the national coverage you’ll find is about how the media failed to provide national coverage. We’re once again the unsung whipping boy of the
RECOVERY, from page 1 “I barely have clothes, and I’m still living out of a backpack. Do I think school should start Monday? No. If you’re like me, you lost everything. I don’t have a car or a place to live.” It’s the everyday financial stresses that weigh heaviest on those students who were affected by the flood. Besides the anxiety of losing full TOPS funding earlier this year, the daily questions of “How am I going to afford to eat today?” and “How will I get to school?” now burden our fellow Tigers.
United States. I’m not saying I want Hillary Clinton to visit Louisiana. And I’m not saying that Donald Trump or Obama visiting our state does us any favors. Like Gov. John Bel Edwards said, our roads, money and resources can’t go toward protecting our leaders and candidates. We need that for our residents. Still, our national coverage is tragic. However, action is more important than coverage, and the federal government’s response
has been more efficient and better prepared than it was during Hurricane Katrina. “FEMA has been around since the first drop of rain hit the ground,” Senate President John Alario (R-Westwego) said in an interview with The Advocate. “Whether the president is here or not, we’re getting a lot more help from the federal government.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency, along with other agencies, approved $56
million in repairs to our state, including $39 million to help with temporary rental assistance and home repairs, according to fema.gov. Even though the rest of the country nearly ignored us, we didn’t ignore each other. People donated anything they could for the flood victims. Those who never volunteered in their lives are helping to repair broken homes. President Obama might have been on vacation, but Gov.

A line on Saturday forms outside of the Cortana Mall complex, which served as a temporary flood relief shelter.
“Money is super tight right now. The next big thing I’m worried about is getting books for the semester,” Johnson said. “My family is trying to get back to normal ,and having school this Monday is literally a stretch for me and making my current situation extremely hard.” Alexander’s statement about healing requiring normalcy sounds like the right thing to say at a time like this. But what about students like Josh who don’t have a place to sleep at night? Alexander’s idea of healing fails to address students’ definition of what it takes to bring them relief from the devas-
tation. The resources the University is offering are generous, but the biggest resource that they are failing to provide is time. What administrators don’t understand is that the destruction does not solely extend to our physical circumstances. The emotional ruins left behind by the floods come with a sense of hopelessness and resignation that can’t be fixed with an email offering the thoughts and prayers of the very people who refuse to give us time to heal. It demonstrates a lack of true understanding and empathy on the University’s part. There are no facts and
statistics that can truly explain the heartbreak and devastation that students and their families are facing. The University calls its student body, faculty and staff a family, but a large portion of that family is being left behind in this disaster. We are not yet ready to come back to school and face the pressure of college when our peers, families and friends don’t have a warm bed to go home to. Alexander is right about one thing: “Recovery won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.” I only wish that instead of trying to preserve a false sense of normalcy, administrators would realize

Edwards worked overtime for his constituents. CNN failed to deliver, but The Advocate picked up its slack. Some of our state legislators were more vocal and hands-on than our U.S. representatives. The University is even helping students affected. Students who lost their homes or possessions in the flood can get grant money to alleviate some of the resultant financial burden. You can go to lsu.edu/floodrelief to find the application, and I would recommend filling it out sooner rather than later. People in this state still need to address important issues plaguing our home. People here still have problems with race relations, sexism and homophobia. We still need to do what we can to provide healthcare and education to residents, and we still need to accept and address climate change. However, I think recent events showed us that a little bit of empathy can go a long way. Cody Sibley is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Opelousas, Louisiana.
that starting school on time only heightens the troubles of our peers. Some may think that this is just a complaint about having to go to school despite the fact that campus is largely undamaged by the flood. But I urge you to consider this: As students of a university, we pay thousands of dollars in tuition and fees in order to receive the best education possible. The professors and administrators are on our payroll. So why is it that no one is asking our opinion? Anjana Nair is an 18-year-old international studies sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Monday, August 22, 2016 SHELTER, from page 2 was no more space available, the rest was stored in the back. Nurses are available to screen individuals and provide treatment. If any conditions are too critical, they are referred to a hospital or doctor to receive the appropriate treatment. The facility is now being operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, according to an email from
Jennie Thomas with the U.S. Public Health Service. The U.S. Army and Air National Guard have been providing facility security and patient transport since the shelter was first opened. The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services is managing the shelter and furnishing essential services such as food and sanitation, patient registration and discharge planning. The University does not have a general needs shelter, though it
has set up resources for students and employees affected by the flood. On the University website, there is an application for the Student Relief Fund, which provides financial assistance for those affected by the disaster. According to the website, a committee will evaluate all applications and award funds until the money is exhausted. The website allows employees to donate annual time off for those who were affected by the flood.
The University’s Food Pantry will operate regular hours starting today, and has been open to students and faculty since Aug. 18. The pantry is located in the LSU Student Union. LSU President F. King Alexander, who routinely visits the shelter, sent out a broadcast email Friday addressing the beginning of the semester, noting that minimal damage was done to campus, but “that is not the case for thousands across Louisiana.” The email provided a link to the University’s resources and
said there would be a re-entry process for students and faculty unable to immediately attend. In his email, Alexander also hawked the first day back as a return to normalcy. “It is critically important for our community to continue moving forward even as we help our friends and family recover,” his email read. “Healing requires a sense of normalcy and routine and comfort, and we are here to provide that, and so much more, to all those who call LSU home.”
