DARE TO DISCOVER Discover Day inspires through undergraduate research, keynote speaker
BY KATIE GAGLIANO | @katie_gagliano The University’s third annual Discover Day brought together 119 undergraduates and one astronaut to celebrate research and the achievements of University students. Retired Col. Al Worden, an Apollo 15 astronaut and the Discover Day keynote speaker, said supporting education and research is key to humanity’s success in the future. “Humankind needs to be saved, but we don’t have the tools, we don’t have the attitude and we don’t have the philosophy to really do what needs to be
done today,” Worden said. “It’s going to take a lot of research to get us where we need to be. Research is critical to our welfare in the future. If we give up on research we’re dead, we’re dead in the water.” Encouraging interest in research opportunities and supporting undergraduate researchers through workshops, financial support and job matching is the mission of LSU Discover, said coordinator Sarah Ferstel.

TECHNOLOGY
Local hacking enthusiast group puts tech to creative use BY TRENT PARKER @trentparker_TDR Lax computer security measures can cost companies and individuals dearly, increasing the demand for those skilled in prevention. DEF CON 225 — a local community for both professionals and amateurs interested in hacking, computer security and related fields — meets regularly to discuss and learn from each other. “Before you start thinking we are those bad types of hackers who break into banks, install credit card skimmers at the gas station, or send e-mails to your
grandmother purporting to be a Nigerian prince stuck on the moon in need of cash … think about the whole ‘Life Hacker’ movement,” said computer security incident response specialist and LSU alumnus James Smith. According to Lifehack, “life hacks” are any advice, resource, tip or trick that helps increase efficiency and productivity. Hackers find creative ways to make technology and computer security more useful and efficient, said Smith, who refers to those who use their skills for criminal purposes as “crackers.” DC225 participants share
info on their current software projects, create cryptographic puzzles to solve and encourage thinking outside the box with technology. DC225 member Josh Richard created a simple robot using a Raspberry Pi computer and Roomba vacuum cleaner in a single day. DC225 is the local chapter of DEF CON, one of the oldest and largest hacking conferences in the world. “Many of us work in the computer security industry and are tasked with keeping the bad guys out of our computer networks

Man arrested for illegal firearm, resisting arrest Scott said LSUPD conducted a traffic stop April 2 at Nicholson Drive and North Stadium Drive, where the vehicle initially refused to stop and came to rest in the Cracker Barrel gas station parking lot at Nicholson Drive and East Boyd Drive. Scott said the occupant of the vehicle, Jalen Grimes, 22, fled from the vehicle and threw a firearm, which was
later recovered, into a storm drain. Scott said Grimes was taken into custody nearby and arrested for illegal carrying of a weapon, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, resisting arrest and a fugitive warrant through East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

Man arrested for multiple campus burglaries Scott said Clarence Walke, 31, was arrested on April 3 after officers were notified near Building 10 of West Campus Apartments of a vehicle burglary in progress. Scott said officers in the area observed Walke, who rode a beige bicycle, break a car passenger window with his fist wrapped in a T-shirt. Scott said Walke fled on his bicycle but was apprehended a short distance later and was positively identified by witnesses. Scott said officers arrested Walke after connecting him with an attempted vehicle burglary in Visitor Center Lot, three completed vehicle burglaries near West Campus Apartments and a simple battery that occurred April 2 at the campus Barnes and Noble, where Walke placed his hand on a female’s back, said he liked her, was told by the female to go away and complied. Scott said Walke was also charged with resisting charge for fleeing from the officers and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Men’s tennis travels to face Tennessee, women’s hosts Georgia BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR As the No. 16 LSU women’s tennis team opens its final home weekend against No. 4 Georgia at 4 p.m., the No. 39 men’s team hits the road to take on Tennessee at 1 p.m. in the Volunteers’ Barksdale Stadium. For the Lady Tigers, Georgia will be their highestranked guest this season. The Bulldogs have consistently led the Southeastern Conference in the rankings since March 1 and held the No. 2 spot in the nation in late January. Still, these numbers mean nothing to an LSU team that only keeps
its eyes on improvement and the upcoming postseason, LSU co-head coach Julia Sell said. “At the end of the year, we define success by if we maximized our potential,” she said. “Right now, no, I don’t think we’re even close. This team knows that, but if we continue to improve on the practice court in the next three-to-four weeks, we’re going to keep putting ourselves in a position to get into that top 10 and make a run at the NCAA Tournament.” Today’s match also marks LSU’s third-straight top-10 matchup, as the team comes off a tough road trip against

The LSU beach volleyball team will travel to the Coconut Beach Sand Volleyball Complex in Kenner for the Green Wave Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The Tigers will have matches against Houston Baptist and Tulane on Friday and play Arizona and Georgia State on Saturday. “We’ve got our first win over [Tulane] in history the last time we were down there, so we know they’re going to come out gunning and they always play us tough,” said LSU associate head coach Russell Brock. “Then, we have two teams in the top 10 that we know are going to be really good. It’s just a great opportunity.” The Tigers head into the weekend with a record of 9-4, having won five of their last six matches. The No. 2 duo Lilly Kessler and Helen Boyle have combined for eight wins, No. 3 couple Callan Molle and Cati Leak have an 8-2 record and pair Mandi Orellana and Cheyenne Wood have combined for six wins in eight of their matches. During the LSU Beach Invitational, duos Cati Leak and Callan Molle, Helen Boyle and Lilly Kessler, and Riley Young and Jeni Clark all won in straight sets to overpower Grand Canyon on the the opening day

LSU heads into another top-25 matchup against No. 16 Kentucky BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshT_TDR For the fourth-straight week, the eighth-ranked LSU softball team will face a top-25-ranked opponent when the No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats roll into Tiger Park at 2 p.m. on Saturday. “The SEC is always tough,” sophomore pitcher Allie Walljasper said. “Mentally, we just have to prepare for what’s coming up next and what we’re doing in practice to prepare ourselves.” The Tigers (29-9, 5-7 Southeastern Conference) will play a rare Saturday-Sunday-Monday series for the first time this season against the Wildcats (31-8, 8-4 SEC). The rarity of this series will give the Tigers more time to
prepare for Kentucky, players and coaches said. “It’s nice this week to have an extra day,” coach Beth Torina said. “With a Saturday-SundayMonday series, having an extra day to really gather ourselves.” Lately, LSU hasn’t fared too well against top-25-ranked opponents, as it has posted a losing record of 7-8 against top-tier ball clubs. Despite their losing record, the Tigers have a boosted morale after their series win against No. 10 Georgia last weekend, and they are looking to build on it this weekend. “I like to say the way we won Friday night was a huge confidence boost,” Torina said. “Almost a turning point for us. We needed that win. We
certainly can win in a lot of ways, [so] that was something we hadn’t done very often, a big comeback victory like that.” The Tigers are winners of three of their last four games, and the Wildcats enter the series fresh off getting swept by No. 3 Auburn in Lexington at John Cropp Stadium. The Kentucky offense only scored six runs in the series. Senior pitcher Kelsey Nunley and junior pitcher Megan Prince leads the Wildcats pitching staff, which ranks in the top-three in ERA, opposing batting average and batters struck out in the SEC. “They are definitely good,” hitting coach Howard Dobson said. “Nunley has been there for a while, carried them, brought them to the world series. They

Kentucky ranks in the bottom half of the SEC in runs scored, hits and batting average. Regardless of the Wildcats’ low offensive rankings, the
constant test of playing top teams in the SEC is a learning process for the Tigers, freshman shortstop Amber Serrett said. “It’s challenging,” Serrett said. “It makes all of us better, and all of us one step closer

on Sunday against Tennessee, the men’s team enters its road stretch coming off a split doubleheader. After opening their final weekend at home with a nail-biting 4-3 victory against then-No. 59 South Carolina last Friday, the Tigers fell to then-No. 7 Georgia in heartbreaking fashion the following Sunday before finally celebrating senior day with a 7-0 victory over New Orleans. However, LSU men’s coach Jeff Brown said their development throughout conference play sparks optimism and losing 4-3 to a top-10 team is anything but negative. “Their confidence is trending up with everything we got through following the AlabamaMississippi State weekend,” Brown said. “That was a little bit of a low point. From there on, we really picked it up and got things
together from a chemistry and energy standpoint. Our tennis level certainly follows that.” There is added pressure as the team heads into the first of its remaining three matches of the regular season. After rising in the rankings from 44 to 39 in the nation, a bid to the NCAA Championships is far from secure. Brown, though, said the team has focused on the tournament all season. “I think these guys are developed enough to know that every match is valuable,” Brown said. “We understand where we are. Every match, it’s important to do your best in order to give yourself the best chance to be in the top 43 or 44, which has been the cutoff the last few years.” The Tigers, though, expect Tennessee to be hungry for victory. After finishing last season

better,” Dobson said. “We’re just trying to get back to doing what we do well and not worrying about what the pitcher is trying to do in our strengths.” With the challenge of another strong SEC opponent looming, Torina already knows this weekend will be tough, but she feels good about where her team is now. “We definitely have our work cut out for us,” Torina said. “I feel good about the spot our team is in right now, and I feel really confident in the spot that we are.”

The Lady Tigers returned on a two-game losing streak but found increased confidence in the positives of their performances, players and coaches said. Not only did LSU hold tight doubles play, but The Tigers also forced four of the six singles courts to a third set. In the end, LSU’s 6-1 loss to Florida — who remains undefeated in conference play — served as great preparation. “In years past, we’ve gone into those matches not really believing that we actually had a chance,” said junior Abigail Owens. “Seeing how close we went with Florida, it definitely gives us confidence going into Georgia.” While the Lady Tigers close the weekend with senior day

with a 19-11 overall record, the Volunteers have yet to win a conference match but enter with momentum from a two-game winning streak. With three matches before the SEC Championship, the Tigers have to prepare for a busy traveling schedule. After the Tennessee matchup, the team is set to travel to Lexington, Kentucky, to take on the Wildcats on Sunday,
and their matchup against Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, the following Friday will close the regular season. “Personally, I like traveling quite a bit,” said junior Justin Butsch. “Sometimes it’s tough against a road crowd, if they get on you.

learned a lot from Florida State, who has had a program for way longer than us,” Boyle said. “Going into this weekend coming up, we have opportunities to beat teams that will help us move up in the rankings and put us in a good spot for post season. What we learned from last weekend is definitely going to benefit us this upcoming weekend.” The Tigers’ matchup against Tulane marks their second meeting of the season. LSU beat Tulane, 3-2, for the first time in the program’s history on March
18 at White Sands in Metairie. Orellana and Wood won in straight sets against Tulane. Victoria Boraski and Young won LSU’s second score, 2-0, in extra sets. Tulane was a worthy opponent, beating pair Lindelow and Allmer in straight sets. Boyle and Kessler lost in three sets, and Molle and Leak earned LSU’s last point in straight sets. “Being able to show them it isn’t a one-time thing is going to be fun to really take advantage of again,” Leak said.

Students forget budget woes due to proposed tailgating rules HARP ON IT JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin This article is satire and purely meant for the reader’s enjoyment. LSU students woke up from their alcohol-induced naps this week to protest proposed changes to the University’s tailgating policies. The various proposals were announced in an effort to reduce the amount of trash found on campus following home games. “It just smells like Bourbon Street,” LSU President F. King Alexander said. “Bunch of mongrels can’t even piss in the porta potties taxpayers pay for them to use.” The proposals would ban large quantities of alcohol, with one proposal requiring student organizations to hire out a third party vendor to legally distribute alcohol during game days. The third party vendors are
expected to be as relentless with fake IDs as prominent Tigerland hangout, Bogie’s Bar. Another proposal would require students to bring their own personal supply of alcohol to gamedays. The proposal is aimed at underage students who freeload off of free fraternity booze. “I’m actually not even in a fraternity,” local binge drinker Jacob Hamilton said. “I just show up dressed like a pledge, and they give me free jungle juice.” The language used in the suggested policies specifically bans large furniture like couches on the Parade Ground. Members of Greek organizations feel as if University administration is targeting them with the new rules. “We’ve already prepaid for our kegs this fall,” local fraternity hound William Taylor Potter said. “What are we supposed to do with all of this Natty Light?!” “The University should refund us with the money they
were planning to use to repair the art building. Hippies don’t need it anyway.” The University is denying the allegations from the Greek organizations. “We are not targeting Greek students,” Dean of Students Mari Fuentes-Martin said in a statement. “In fact, similar language was used in recent legislation to protect religious freedom in Mississippi,” Fuentes-Martin said. “Their legislation definitely wasn’t targeting homosexuals. This millennial witch hunt must end.” Students from all social circles are excited to protest the ban on booze because none of them seem to understand or care about the impending $750 million deficit. Aides for Gov. John Bel Edwards said he’s considering using threats against alcohol as a tool to guarantee student involvement in future matters. Recent comments from students indicate the governor’s

Yikes!” As the tailgating proposals are discussed further, all pro-
tests planned for the budget cuts and campus racial inequality have been cancelled. “If we can’t booze, we lose,” Burkes said. John Gavin Harp is a 21-yearold mass communication junior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.
Tax-paying tax-payers demand tax on taxing tax-makers LOGIC DICTATES, CAPTAIN GARRETT MARCEL @Gret419 This article is satire and purely meant for the reader’s enjoyment. Louisiana is raising taxes on everything and cutting out exemptions. It is feeling like a twisted episode of Oprah — You get a tax! You get a tax! Everyone gets taxes! There is a better solution to the state’s tax problems. Louisiana should place a tax on people who raise taxes. By placing a tax on the state representatives and senators, the taxes they place on others will create a tax on themselves. The new tax would have to be large enough to fix the state’s problems, so a 10 percent increase per politician should work. If politicians have a problem paying their taxes or if they cannot afford to pay them, prison seems like the best option. Fortunately, only those who vote in favor of tax increases or propose them will have their taxes raised. It wouldn’t be fair to raise

If successful, the tax on taxes could go to the national level, creating a new level of federal income.

ones to step forth and actually practice it. Unfortunately, politicians might start to unionize or protest the taxes, but we can tax them even more in response. We may need to implement a tax for Donald Trump supporters as well because we’ll see a spike in brain aneurysms if he is elected president. If Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders manage to snag the presidency, a national surplus will be created by the failed policy tax. Everyone will have enough money to pay more taxes! Sadly, if Ted Cruz were to win, there would be a significant drop in tax revenue and a lot of unhappy socialists. We wouldn’t want to upset them. Eventually, America will become great again by taxing away all the bad ideas that simply don’t work. Some might say we can balance the budget in other ways. But, if I have learned anything from Democrats, it’s that taxes are always the answer. Garrett Marcel is a 22-year-old petroleum engineering senior from Houma, Louisiana.

researchers to the value of undergraduate research, Ferstel said. The event also gives undergraduates the opportunity to celebrate their achievements, she said. “We want them to be excited about their work and to be proud, and to also recognize that LSU values what they do,” Ferstel said.

Shelby Stewart, a psychology and criminology junior, said research is a pillar of the University experience and it is important for students to engage in research early in their undergraduate careers. Stewart said research experiences can help guide students in the process of discovering academic interests and future career paths, or provide valuable experience for graduate school. Stewart and psychology and sociology junior Katherine Davis each conducted research using data on e-cigarette use and behaviors among college-aged problematic drinkers. Seeing peers conducting research can be the inspirational push many students need to consider pursuing research, Davis said. Another benefit of research is the tenacity it inspires in students. Students involved in the LSU Discover program said individual research allows them to overcome failure in a way not possible in the classroom, Ferstel said. “In class, when you fail, that’s it,” Ferstel said. “You fail a test or you fail a problem. But in research that’s not it. You keep working at it until you figure it out. You learn how to work through failure until you find the answer.” Being able to problem-solve and overcome failure was critical in Worden’s time as an astronaut. “Like in any research or test program, what happens is the thing that bites you in the youknow-what is something you
page 7 never thought about,” Worden said. Senior Emily Oakman, a natural resources and ecology management major, said learning to utilize critical thinking skills is the heart of research. Turning indistinguishable results into a conclusion that she could communicate and share with others to benefit the community was the most rewarding aspect of her research experience, Oakman said. Oakman conducted her research on the post-Katrina soil-salinity of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in Lacombe, Louisiana. Flood waters after the hurricane increased the salinity of the soil and affected the growth of hardwood species of trees, changing the habitat of the refuge. Results from the study showed salinity levels are lowest along the ridge of the refuge’s levee and the findings are providing key information for the successful replanting of hardwood species in the area. The findings are being incorporated into the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s management plans for the refuge and could have a practical impact on the area, Oakman said. Many of her Discover Day peers produced equally important and interesting work, she said. “It’s awesome the findings that we’re coming up with as undergrads, this young,” Oakman said. “We can solve problems, real problems, that are very important.”
DEF CON, from page 1 and systems,” Smith said. “Being successful at that requires knowing what tools and tactics your enemies use.” Scenarios security staff face in the real world are practiced for in exercises where DC225 members are challenged to break into computer systems set up by the organizers. Another layer of complexity can be added by dividing attendees into two teams, with one trying to protect the systems from intrusion while the other tries to successfully breach their security measures. “These events give security practitioners a safe and suitable environment to learn how criminals perform their magic,” Smith said. Remotely hijacking control of drones and lockpicking have also been discussed as security breaches to guard against. People of all experience levels are welcome to join, said SEO/Web development Edmond Major. A future goal is the creation of a “hackerspace” for Baton Rouge, a permanent location where weekly meetings and educational programs can be hosted. “If one member of the group knows something that others don’t, we encourage that skill/knowledge be taught to anyone who is willing to learn,” Major said.
