Renowned musicians to visit School of Music

SWIPER, NO SWIPING! Meal plan policy change catches students, parents by surprise

BY NATALIE ANDERSON | @natalie_mechell During first-year orientation, mother Amy Cannon said she was told her daughter, a freshman who lives on campus, would be able to use her Tiger Card meal swipes as she saw fit once she purchased her meal plan.

But a recent and unannounced change to the University’s long-standing policy regarding meal plans for on-campus students now limits students to one swipe per meal period. The change no longer allows students to use their meal swipes for friends or siblings.

On the Sunday before school started, Cannon said she visited the LSU Dining Meal Plan FAQs where she read that students could use multiple swipes for their guests.

But Cannon said her daughter called her on the first day of school after eating at The 5 and said that when she tried to swipe someone in for a meal, she was charged 11 Paw Points instead of an extra swipe.

After checking LSU Dining’s FAQs page again Monday morning, Cannon noticed the policy had changed.

The LSU School of Music Tuba-Euphonium Studio is welcoming three guest musicians to teach master classes and lessons and perform recitals for students this fall. The three guests include world famous Norwegian tuba player Oystein Baadsvik, euphonium player Demondrae Thurman and tuba player Charles Villarrubia, New Orleans native.

“Being exposed to some of the best musicians and teachers in our field is one of the best ways we can improve,” said graduate assistant for the LSU Department of Bands Tuba-Euphonium Studio Chasse Duplantis.

“Musicians are self-reflective of how they perform and are always seeking ways to improve their craft.”

Baadsvik has performed recitals and conducted clinics in Japan, Australia and Europe. He

Online boutiques offer convenient alternative to traditional shopping

BY CYNTHEA CORFAH @LacedInCyn With online shops on the rise, people no longer have to go to a store physically to make purchases — they can buy items with the click of a button. Known around the world for its culture, food and traditions, Louisiana is not as frequently recognized for its online shops, and many go unseen or unheard of.

SoSis Based out of Baton Rouge, SoSis, or Southern Sisters, launched in 2014. Sisters, co-founders and LSU alumnae Chelsey Blankenship and Annie Claire Bass created the store to provide the everyday girl a trendy place to shop on a budget.

Although it is an online shop, SoSis hosts pop-up shows where customers can browse merchandise at a physical location.

“We find that once people see our products in person, even if it’s just once, they will shop with us again online,” Blankenship said.

After the floods in Baton Rouge, Blankenship and Bass gave customers the opportunity to donate to flood victims by buying a LYLAS, or “Love Ya Like a Sister,” T-shirts.

SWIPES, from page 1 Cannon reached out to Margot Carroll, the assistant vice president of Auxiliary Services, and other LSU Dining Services employees last week to find out why no one had been notified of this change.

“It just reeks of dishonesty,” Cannon said. “We committed based on the information that was given to us.”

Carroll responded to Cannon via email and said the policy had been in place since 2012 as a way to conserve food and keep University costs as low as possible.

In her email exchange with Cannon, Carroll said that because parents brought up a good point about access to food for flood victims, LSU Dining would allow students with meal plans to use two swipes per meal period during the fall semester.

“As a musician, it’s very important to get as many opinions as possible, so having 3 professional musicians come and teach us is an honor, and it’s three more opinions for each of us to grow from,” said sophomore tuba player Collin Breaux.

The musicians will be visiting LSU in the following order: Thurman from Sept. 15-17, Baadsvik from Oct. 27-30 and Villarrubia in after Thanksgiving. Their recitals are open to all students and will be performed in the recital hall of the School of Music.

“This is a really cool experience because when I would listen to professional recordings of

pieces in high school, I often listened to Demondrae Thurman,” said Matt Hurtado, a euphonium graduate assistant for the LSU Department of Bands.

By watching and listening to the recitals, student musicians will get a better idea of what a professional performance should look and sound like, Hurtado said.

“This is very unique to LSU, and I can personally say I never got chances like this during my undergrad at Texas State University,” Hurtado said. “LSU’s School of Music is extremely prestigious, and I think it’s excellent that they want their musicians to be so well-rounded and be exposed to many different perspectives.”

Mimosa Handcrafted began as an Etsy shop that acted as Madeline’s “home base” while traveling.

“Etsy was kind of an experiment, but then it turned into accessibility for customers to buy pieces at their convenience, so they don’t have to make the purchase right on the spot [while at a show] or find me,” Madeline said.

Compel Clothing Kelly Tien, owner of Compel Clothing, sought to bring affordable and convenient fashion to Lafayette.

Although primarily online, Compel Clothing offers mobile

fittings and pop-up shops.

Before creating Compel Clothing, Tien worked long shifts at previous jobs that never allowed her to shop at local boutiques. By bringing the store to customers, she said she hoped women like her would have a place to shop conveniently.

“I heard a really great saying before when Compel Clothing was all just an idea, and it was ‘If you can’t sell in your own backyard, how are you going to sell in somebody else’s?’ and it made me really put that into perspective,” Tien said.

Compel Clothing is holding a pop-up shop hosted by the Baton Rouge Fashion Council on Sept.

Their goal is to create more T-shirts and begin selling them in college bookstores and unique boutiques around the state.

man Emmanuel Adenanjo lives on campus and has 12 meal swipes a week in addition to 600 Paw Points.

He said he only uses about nine swipes each week and was unaware that students had ever been able to share swipes with guests.

Chemical engineering freshman Joshua Davis also lives on campus and has the same meal plan. He said he uses about 10 swipes each week. He was also unaware that students could share swipes before an employee who swiped him into The 459 told him it was no longer allowed.

Cannon posted about the change on the LSU Parents’ Facebook page. Many unhappy parents commented on the post because they had purchased a meal plan for one student and expected the swipes to be shared with siblings who were also University students.

Cannon said her biggest concern is for students who are not

aware of the new policy and are being charged Paw Points for additional swipes.

She said she is displeased with how the University has handled the situation, describing it as a “cloak of secrecy and complete inconsistency with everything we were told after we locked in our meal plan.”

Ben Dugas is the father of two University students. One is a freshman living on-campus who is required to have a meal plan, and the other is a senior who previously had a meal plan. Dugas said he found out about the policy change through Cannon’s Facebook post.

Dugas said he was told at everypast orientation that students could use their swipes how they wanted and that he was never notified of a change in policy.

“Frankly, it doesn’t surprise me that things like this happen, especially in the current economic environment with the state,”

Dugas said.

He has not reached out to any University officials, but has kept up with the issue through the Facebook post. He said he wants to know why no one was notified of the change, when the change was made and why.

Dugas said that it would have been better for the University to notify students and parents of the change first and then phase it in, rather than implementing it all at once.

Cannon has reached out to employees in LSU President F. King Alexander’s office.

“I want someone to give me a legitimate answer,” Cannon said.

“We lost enough by having our TOPS shaved off last year, and having to come up with that extra money is hard enough, but at least they told us beforehand.”

Margot Carroll did not respond to The Daily Reveille’s requests for comment.

Fournette back after ankle injury “No issue with his health,” Miles says

BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_

LSU’s season kicks off Sept. 3 against Wisconsin, and five days before the match up, the Tigers released their depth chart.

The Tigers return 17 starters total, but even with that much experience, there was still movement at different positions.

LSU coach Les Miles met with the media on Monday and spoke about the depth chart and injury updates.

HASKELL WHITTINGTON / The Daily Reveille

LSU sophomore running back Leonard Fournette (7) makes his way to the goal line being pursued by Auburn sophomore defensive back Tray Matthews (28) on Saturday Sept. 19, during the LSU vs Auburn football game in Tiger Stadium.

FOURETTE BACK TO 100 PERCENT When junior running back Leonard Fournette was dragged down by his teammate, junior linebacker Donnie Alexander, during practice, the entire team went silent.

“The music stopped,” Fournette said. “It was a crazy moment.”

Alexander pulled Fournette down by his jersey, causing him to injure his ankle and forcing him into a walking boot.

Fournette was sidelined for a week of practice, but he’s back to “100 percent.”

“I’m good,” Fournette said. “It wasn’t nothing too serious. Donnie [Alexander] just pulled me from the back, and he fell on my ankle. It was nothing serious.”

Miles echoed the same sentiments and said his All-Southeastern Conference running back is “fine” and there is no issue with his health.

DIVINITY EARNS STARTING JOB AT OUTSIDE LINEBACKER The Tigers listed a total of 16 true freshmen on their depth chart, with one of them earning a starting position.

Freshman linebacker Michael Divinity — who enrolled early in the spring — was listed as the starter at the “F” linebacker position in Dave Aranda’s new defense.

Divinity will “play a lot of football” this season, according to Miles.

“Michael Divinity is a big, strong, naturally gifted guy that can flat run and play hard,” Miles said. “He’s really a conscientious guy. He learns assignments very well and, again, works hard to maintain his abilities and improve.”

Senior defensive end Tashawn Bower was the presumed starter at the “F” linebacker position, but was penciled in on the depth chart behind sophomore outside linebacker Arden Key at the “Buck” linebacker spot.

LSU TO HAVE “QUALITY” OFFENSIVE TACKLES LSU will have three new starting offensive linemen against Wisconsin on Saturday.

Sophomore offensive tackle Toby Weathersby and junior offensive lineman K.J. Malone get the starting nods at right and left tackles respectively, according to the depth

LSU assistant coaches to work full-time from the sidelines this season

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_

On Saturday, LSU coach Les Miles will do something he hasn’t done since 1986.

All 10 coaches of Miles’ staff will be on the sidelines on Sept. 3, which Miles said he hasn’t been a part of since between 1982 and 1986 when he was the offensive line coach at the University of Colorado Boulder.

In the past, Miles and company have held offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in the press

box, which changed when the three-year offensive play caller moved to the sidelines in LSU’s 56-27 Texas Bowl win on Dec. 29.

“Here is the issue: Where does Dave and Cam figure to serve us best?” Miles said. “To me, I think what Cam gave us dealing with the quarterbacks was extremely good, and I think Dave’s really got to be downstairs for the defense.”

Miles figures position coaches “serve LSU best” on the sidelines, dealing with substitutions, like Ed Orgeron subbing the defensive line and Bradley Dale Peveto

swapping members of special teams, Miles said.

So, if everyone is downstairs, who will be in the booth, communicating to LSU’s position coaches and coordinators through the headset?

“We’ll have a young group of coaches,” Miles said. “Those guys that can coach and talk and be upstairs.”

All of which, Miles said, is subject to change if LSU deems the booth’s vantage point better, or more important, than the hands-on communication on the

field between Cameron and Aranda to signal callers on offense and defense respectively.

“The coordinators and the secondary coach would be the ones that can come upstairs, and the reality is that our guys wanted to stay down, and it’s something that they can do,” Miles said.

“And I’m going to take it under advisement and say that they can see the field from there. And if I find that, in fact, we’re not getting the view of things that need to be relayed from the press box, this will change.”

#SocialSupport Hashtags, social media campaigns serve as effective methods for awareness during Baton Rouge floods

BY MARISSA TORRES | @MarissaMerle

Following a summer of tragedy, some argue that the good times have stopped rolling in Louisiana. However, in a city known for its joie de vivre, Baton Rouge turns tribulation into unity, with social media as the perfect outlet.

Hashtags such as #unBRoken and #WhyILoveBR allow users to tell their story, redefining the narrative of Baton Rouge by showcasing the strength of the city’s community members.

Mass communication assistant professor Diane Francis, who teaches courses in public relations and social media strategy, said social media has changed how people grieve.

Francis said grief is becoming much more public.

“People are much more forthcoming in terms of their grief on social media, and people are willing to let others know,” she said. “There is more public acceptance and public knowledge of grief, and social media definitely facilitates that.”

She said campaigns and hashtags allow users to present a specific type of story or narrative about a particular crisis or location.

Though they do not amplify content, Francis said they gather it in one place, allowing

information to pass quickly.

“A hashtag immediately brands your campaign,” she said. “It’s one way to be able to quickly say that this is who we are and this is what we’re about in 10 letters or so.”

Francis agrees that these campaigns have been successful at putting the recovery in Baton Rouge at the forefront of what is going on in the world, but there is still more that can be done.

She suggests going beyond creating a hashtag and figuring out the key messages users are communicating. There needs to be a way to sort through the content and assist users in getting what they need, whether it is assistance or health-related information, Francis said.

Francis said art sometimes moves more quickly than text, allowing people to see what is happening around the city at a certain time.

“We are a city of love,” said Kenny Nguyen, CEO of Three Sixty Eight, a Baton Rouge digital experience agency. “Rather than focusing on current community pain and the race conversations, we wanted to share a different timeless side, on why we always have loved Baton Rouge.”

Three Sixty Eight started the #WhyILoveBR campaign as a different take on the city’s recovery process. An open submission website of the same name allows users to share why they love the city with community members. He said submissions were made public and shared through social media to promote the awareness that, even through hard times, residents never forget why they love their city.

With social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, community members can go beyond their keyboards to make an impact on these projects.

Local graphic designers like Matt Dawson have lent their visual communication skills to unite people toward moving forward.

Dawson created both the #WhyILoveBR and “Fight The Flood” logos.

“When the opportunity arose to create graphics for these projects, there was no hesitation,” Dawson said. “Making logos with no restraint, for projects you can stand behind, for reasons you believe in and for places you care about comes easy. There’s really no other sense of pride like Louisiana pride.”

Ten best moments from the MTV Video Music Awards

BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler The University is known across the nation as a football powerhouse, but for some students, award show season overshadows football season. The MTV Video Music Awards kicked off this year’s season, airing live on Sunday.

The VMA’s are known for their big, and sometimes controversial, moments — and this year’s show was no exception.

In no particular order, The

Daily Reveille lists 10 of the best moments from the 32nd annual VMA’s.

Graduate-level union eligibility at private universities overdue ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley

We may only be in the second week of class, but it’s never too early to look into graduate schools.

And if you’re looking into private universities for your potential graduate program, good news!

Graduate students now have the right to unionize.

On Aug. 23, the National Labor Relations Board ruled graduate

teaching and research assistants at private universities have the right to collective bargaining, according to Inside Higher Ed. Graduate students at private universities haven’t been able to unionize since 2004, when the same board ruled against their having collective bargaining rights.

This decision is a major boost for students’ rights across the country. Graduate teaching and research assistants have a lot of the same responsibilities as professors, but they get next to nothing in

compensation. Most get some sort of tuition exemption and a small stipend, but that typically comes out to far less than the median post-secondary teacher’s salary of $72,470, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Graduate students obviously shouldn’t get that full salary. But these students still have bills to pay, and the average age for graduate students is 33 years old, according to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s page on graduate students.

My point is, mom and dad probably don’t help them out financially.

They need enough money for food, rent and other bills, and they need decent health insurance.

Why did the NLRB reverse its 2004 decision? Well, the board’s party composition has changed.

According to the NLRB website, Republicans ran the board in 2004. Now, Democrats are in charge.

Board members serve fiveyear terms, with one board seat up for reappointment every year.

The president, with Senate confirmation, appoints members to the board.

Tuesday, August 30, 2016 FOURNETTE, from page 3 chart LSU released Monday.

Malone takes the spot of sophomore offensive lineman Maea Teuhema, who started the spring game at left tackle.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound offensive lineman missed the first few days of camp because of an ankle injury, but Miles said Teuhema is fine.

“Maea Teuhema is extremely healthy,” Miles said. “He’s practiced the last ten days and practiced very well. He’s not limited in any way and we’re ready to roll. The good news is it ensures that we will have real quality tackles.”

MILES DIDN’T EXPECT VALENTINE WOULD RETURN TO LSU LSU’s defense received a gift early in fall camp with sophomore nose tackle Travonte Valentine.

Valentine was originally with LSU’s 2014 signing class, but was dismissed from the team last summer.

Miles was very candid in discussing what he told Valentine when he was booted from the team.

“I really suggested that he invest in himself,” Miles said. “And that he needs to make a change in his life for him, and really I did not necessarily see his return.”

Miles also said Valentine has done a “good job” in class and hasn’t missed one to date.

The 6-foot-4, 356-pound defensive lineman had to take a summer intersession course in order to be eligible for the 2016 season.
