RISING THROUGH THE RANKS Graduate ceramics program recognized again in U.S. News & World Report list STORY BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ PHOTOS BY EMILY BRAUNER
The University’s Master of Fine Arts ceramics program is yet again ranked in the top ten on U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 Best Graduate Schools list, jumping two spots this year to No. 7 in the nation. Michaelene Walsh, associate professor of art, was at the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts conference in Kansas City, Missouri, when she received the news. “I think the increase is, in part … myself and my colleague, [associate professor of ceramics] Andy Shaw, working to improve the facility, improve the curriculum, improve the student’s education overall,” Walsh said. Students begin the University’s ceramics curriculum as undergraduates, working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Most courses are foundation classes, including hand-building and throwing — both methods by which ceramics are crafted. Students are also taught art history and various approaches to making

Representatives from LGBTQ student organizations and the University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs met Monday night to discuss ways to protest and potentially halt an upcoming campus performance from conservative blogger and activist Milo Yiannopoulos, organized by LSU Students for Trump. Yiannopoulos is visiting the University as part of his “The Dangerous Faggot Tour,” which discusses freedom of speech and has sparked protests on various college campuses. At DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, protestors jumped on stage to speak out against Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos is known for his inflammatory commentary, which some have branded as hate speech. In July, he was permanently

Clear bag policy received positively at home game debut
BY MEG RYAN Manship School News Service A rainy home-opener against Jacksonville State University Saturday provided a soft launch for the University’s new “Geaux Clear” bag policy at Tiger Stadium, and the change was apparently accepted by Tiger fans, athletic officials say. Assistant Athletics Director and Game Event Manager David Taylor said the pre-kickoff rain helped ease bag checkers and fans into the new policy. “When the rain came, it kind of changed the dynamics a little bit,”
Taylor said, noting the crowd was lighter than usual but still “busy.” The crowd arrived at different times, he said, instead of the normal tidal wave in the 30 minutes prior to the game starting. “Geaux Clear” is a new initiative instituted by LSU and most other SEC schools for all athletic events. Approved bags include clear totes that are 12-by-6-by-12 or smaller, Ziploc bags a gallon or smaller and small clutches 4.5-by-6.5 or smaller. Other items allowed inside Tiger Stadium include seat cushions, diaper bags no bigger than 12-by6-by-12 and binocular cases.
Taylor said nothing on gameday or the morning after indicated fans reacted negatively to the new rule. “I am waiting to see if we get emails or any kind of complaints [this week] that weren’t reported,” he said. Saturday was the first time the University worked with Landmark Event Staffing Services as the stadium’s bag checkers, Taylor said. Landmark Event Staffing Services has been on campus since late August in preparation for the home-opener. Taylor said the bag

CERAMICS, from page 1 ceramics as they advance in their education. Through hand-building, pieces are created by forming the clay and combining assorted clay structures. In throwing, clay is thrown at a potter’s wheel, then spun into a shape dictated by the artist’s hands. The ceramics program aims to teach students a multitude of skills throughout their years in the program, just as one would learn in photography or painting tracks, Walsh said. Being ranked by U.S. News & World Report means a lot to the ceramics program as it allows the students to be recognized on an international level, Walsh said. Students who join the graduate program come from across the globe, with some students coming from places such as Canada and South Korea. In the MFA ceramics program, students focus on specific skill sets. This involves further education on technical expertise, as well as continuing to look at how students can conceptually develop their work.
SPEAKER, from page 1 banned from Twitter for his targeted abuse of “Ghostbusters” star and “Saturday Night Live” comedian Leslie Jones. He tweeted that she was “barely literate” and a “black dude,” and he incited his social media followers to harass Jones with racist and sexist tweets, as well. Yiannopoulos’ tour will make its stop at the Student Union Theatre on Sept. 21. But in a statement to The Daily
These graduate students have the opportunity to teach undergraduates at beginning or intermediate levels, as well. “We have a great facility,” Walsh said of the Studio Arts Building, which houses the ceramics studio. “It’s large, spacious, a lot of equipment … It’s the difference between being able to experiment with a lot of things in a large space, as opposed to a few things in a small space.” The facility houses several studios of various sizes meant for classes and art creation. The building has a graduate space which contains mini-studio areas for each graduate student to privately work on their own creations. Each studio has a wide array of equipment, including potter’s wheels and kilns in which the clay sculptures are hardened. The Studio Arts Building is scheduled to begin renovations in spring 2017, Walsh said. “This program has a legacy,” she said. “A big part of why it’s successful is that for decades, good people have come here and good people have taught here, and they made that foundation.”
checkers have experience with the same sort of security procedures at New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome with the NFL’s clear bag rule. “These men and women were prepared, so I think from the bag checking standpoint, having this group was a huge asset to us,” he said. LSU’s Athletic Department had about 5,000 clear bags and 20,000 large Ziplocs to hand out to fans who were not aware of the new policy. Boy Scout volunteers, internal staff, student interns and parking attendants were instructed to approach fans with noncompliant bags, inform them of the “Geaux Clear” policy and offer a free bag as an alternative, Taylor said. He isn’t sure everyone has received the message, but he said word of mouth is spreading. Season ticket holder Patricia France heard about “Geaux Clear” on Facebook. The New Orleans resident was prepared for the new policy, already owning a clear bag from attending Saints games. “Don’t say you weren’t informed,” she said, noting the policy’s heavy coverage on social media.
Reveille, LSU Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard said allowing Students for Trump to host its event in a campus facility is not an endorsement of the speaker or his message. “The group is hosting the event as a student organization and is going through the procedures to host their event, as any student organization can. The University’s role is to provide a facility, as we would to any of our student groups who go through the event process. Simply
providing a facility doesn’t equal an endorsement by the University of any event held on campus. No university funds [are] being used to bring him here,” Ballard said in the statement. Ethan Guerra-Deslatte, vice president of administration for LGBTQ student organization Spectrum, said he and other students have been receiving counsel from the Office of Multicultural Affairs and have been in communication with the Office of Diversity on how

Brenda Smith first heard about the policy on the news and then saw it on Facebook. Terry Huber wasn’t aware of the new policy, but France and Smith got her up to speed prior to the game and loaned her a clear bag. At first, digital advertising freshman Leah Paternostro said she didn’t see a lot of coverage of “Geaux Clear” until school sporting events started to pick up. The policy has been in use at LSU soccer games for the past three weeks. “I’m hoping that it’ll get us in the stadium a lot quicker,” she said. Political science junior Caitlyn Broussard decided not to attend the game on Saturday, but she was out on the Parade Ground in the afternoon. She said she sees how the policy will make checking bags quicker but doesn’t intend to purchase a transparent bag. “I won’t bring a bag, most likely,” she said. With the Mississippi State University game Saturday, Taylor hopes the opposing team’s fans are just as informed on the policy. The Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville is also a clear bag stadium.

best to handle and potentially prohibit Yiannopoulos’ upcoming appearance. LSU Vice Provost & Chief Diversity Officer Dereck Rovaris suggested invoking a University policy stating that if someone has a history of violence or causing violence, their event on campus can be denied, Guerra-Deslatte said. “He’s not just anti-LGBT. He’s anti- anything that will get him attention,” Guerra-Deslatte said of Yiannopoulos. “This realistically can incite violence.” Students for Trump Ambassador David Walters said he wanted to bring Yiannopoulos to campus to gain greater exposure for his organization and attract new members. Walters said he and other members of Students for Trump are aware of past protests at Yiannopoulos’ shows, and they plan to have a designated protest area outside of the Union Theatre on the night of his performance. “We’re doing this to enjoy ourselves, to listen to somebody speak and to learn,” Walters said. “This is not going to be some controversial, crazy thing where we’re just going to argue and this and that. Let the people that are going enjoy themselves.”

IMPRESSIONS Etling’s relief appearance sparks LSU’s offense BY JACOB HAMILTON | @Jac0B_Hamilt0n Senior tight end Colin Jeter had an exciting moment on the sideline, and it came as a direct result of junior quarterback Danny Etling’s first appearance in purple and gold. On Etling’s first drive, senior tight end DeSean Smith snuck down the sideline and made his way behind Jacksonville State’s coverage, at which point Etling hit him for a 46-yard touchdown. It doubled as Smith’s first collegiate touchdown and the first of Etling’s LSU career. “I was happy to see DeSean finally get one,” Jeter said. “That was the most exciting part of Saturday night. I wasn’t supposed to be on the field, but I was. I was probably on the field before he even caught the ball.” Jeter had a chance to catch his first pass of the season when Etling fired his first pass down the left sideline to Jeter for what would have been a 27-yard gain, but the tightly-contested tight end couldn’t haul in the pass with a Jacksonville State linebacker draped over him. “I should have came down with that one,” Jeter said. “It’s nice to get a ball every now and then … as long as we’re scoring points, I could care less who’s getting the ball. I’m just excited to be on a team that loves to come to work and win games.”

Miles holds off on naming starting quarterback for upcoming game BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ At his weekly press conference Monday afternoon, LSU coach Les Miles said his offense “needed a pick me up” on Saturday. It came in the shape of a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior quarterback by the name of Danny Etling. Etling, who came on in relief duty for junior quarterback Brandon Harris, helped lead the Tigers to three straight scoring drives, en route to a 34-13 victory over Jacksonville State. Now Miles has a quarterback controversy on his hands, but the starter for Saturday’s game has yet to be determined.
“We’re not turning our back in any way on a competition,” Miles said. “I will not name the starter until I talk to the team.” Miles said Etling was “executing” at practice throughout the past two weeks at a much higher rate, and the preparation he put in made him deserving of the opportunity to play against Jacksonville State. For Harris, the opportunity for a “respite” from the duties of being a starting quarterback was a “positive,” but he expects both quarterbacks could continue to play this season, Miles said. “We’re going to need both the guys,” Miles said. “But [let’s] make sure [Harris] gets that opportunity to compete and see how he’s coming, and let’s not turn a
blind eye to a very talented quarterback on our team already.” Fournette expected to return this weekend Junior running back Leonard Fournette missed his first career game as a Tiger on Saturday. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound tailback decided to sit out the matchup against the Gamecocks because of a lingering ankle injury. Miles said he expects Fournette to practice three or four days this week and play against Mississippi State. “We expect Leonard to be back and ready to go in this game,” Miles said. In relief of Fournette, LSU used a “running back by committee” approach, with sophomore running back Derrius Guice

Although the fall season officially begins Sept. 22, some University students have already begun transitioning their summer wardrobe by incorporating fall attire such as beanies, cardigans, jeans, flannels and layers. STORY CYNTHEA CORFAH

JERSEYS Sports jerseys aren’t often the first clothing piece to come to mind at the thought of fall. However, they offer a cute and street way to dress comfortably, and they’re an easy garment to layer other pieces on top of. Wearing a jersey with leggings, sneakers and a cozy flannel, fifth year architecture student Allison Keppinger created the perfect comfortable, cute, tomboy ensemble for class. Unlike jerseys, flannels are a well-known fall classic. Whether worn on the body or around the waist, flannels are never a bad idea.
MARCELL
BEANIES Beanies, although meant for cold weather, can be worn during any season with the appropriate outfit. Spotted on celebrities, athletes and musicians, beanies can be used for everything from covering bed head to adding a stylish finish to an outfit. When wearing a neutral colored outfit like nutrition and sciences sophomore Marianna Morrison, a teal beanie can give you the perfect splash of color.
LAYERS
CROP TOPS Crop tops are another staple that don’t have to be limited to the summer. Like beanies, crop tops can be worn during any season depending on what they’re worn with. High-waisted jeans and pants can be the perfect pairing for a crop top in the fall. Throw on a cardigan or flannel and the outfit is complete. Education sophomore Paige Sellers created a simple skater girl outfit with her cream crop tank, light blue skinny jeans and printed slip-ons. The summer and fall clothing combination appeared comfortable, versatile and feminine.
SHORTS
The beauty of fall fashion? Layers. Say goodbye to your two-piece outfit. When fall fully arrives, outfits will be composed of tops, pants, sweaters, scarves, vests and more.
Louisiana fall weather is slow to commit, so don’t put your shorts away just yet. In colder weather, shorts can be worn with stockings, knee highs, cardigans and scarves.
Mass communication senior Dalita Collins displayed her transition from summer to fall in her comfortable layered look worn with sandals.
“You can take pretty much anything from the summer and wear into fall,” said fashion blogger Candace Hampton, creator of The Beauty Beau blog. “For example, you can layer tights or over-the-knee socks under a mini skirt, or a longline cardigan over a romper.”
“I’m all for [mixing summer and fall clothing], especially in steamy Louisiana,” Hampton said. “It’s still hot so I’m definitely not going to dive straight into fall gear trying to keep up with seasons. It all depends on what my Weather Channel app says.”
Psychology sophomore Rebecca Kernahan wore her shorts with tennis shoes and a cardigan creating a stylish and on-the-go look.

Hillary Clinton rejects human body, embraces lizard form ENTITLED MILLENNIAL
CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley After Hillary Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 memorial event Sunday because she overheated, her campaign issued a news release stating that she is, in fact, a lizard person and can no longer remain in human form. “Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies,” the release said. “On Friday, during a follow-up evaluation of her prolonged cough, Clinton shed her human skin and said she could no longer go on as a lizard person in human form.” The release goes on to say that, once Clinton has had enough bed rest, she will continue with her campaign as the dry, green, cold-blooded lizard that she is. “I’ve said this before, and I
will say it again,” Clinton said as she ate her diet of small flies, crickets and leaves, per her doctor’s recommendation. “Lizard rights are human rights, and human rights are lizard rights.” “What difference does it make at this point? Whether I’m a lizard or human, I’m still not Donald Trump.” She then scurried up the wall and climbed out of her bedroom window and into the bushes. Moments after her campaign released the statement, emails between Clinton and President Barack Obama leaked, revealing that she came out to him as a reptilian beast from the galactic empire after the Benghazi attack. “To whom it may concern,” the email read, “I have not been entirely honest with you. I am not of your kind. You see, I am of another world. My people come from a land light-years away from here. I am actually a lizard person, sent here to colonize and

rule the world. Join me as I work to defeat my adversaries, and I shall spare you.” While U.S. officials don’t yet know the constitutionality of allowing non-humans to run for the presidency, the Ameri-
can people said that they really, really don’t want to go through another primary. Some experts believe that holding another primary election could even further suppress voter turnout. “Americans in general don’t
want another election,” LSU’s political expert said. “Our turnout is one of the lowest in the developed world, and voters are already disappointed with their options. Who could replace Hillary Clinton? Unless it’s someone like Cher, we should just let Hillary run. We can figure out the legalities of having a lizard alien as president in four to eight years or so.” “Just, please,” he continued, “Don’t make us go through this again. We’ve been through so much already this year.” After hearing about Lizard Gate 2016, Donald Trump said he was just glad that Clinton wasn’t some sort of Mexican immigrant, though he did question whether she came to this country legally and implied that he was open to the idea of building a wall around Earth.

Apple entices white people with slightly new, barely improved products HARP ON IT JOHN GAVIN HARP
@SirJohnGavin
On Wednesday, Apple held its annual fall event, sheepishly revealing hardware updates for its iPhone and Apple Watch lines. To kick off the event, a new segment of popular white YouTube sensation “Carpool Karaoke” began playing. The clip featured Apple CEO Tim Cook and Apple’s token black guy, Pharrell, gleefully butchering classic songs with host James Corden. Shortly afterward, Apple began to announce its products. The new models, which look nearly identical to last year’s,
featured relatively no revolutionary features, yet were the subject of much fanfare from white Twitter and mainstream media. “Apple’s Done it Again!” read a headline from esteemed white publication The New York Times. The newly revealed iPhone 7 features several minor hardware upgrades, including a 7 megapixel front-facing camera so white people can take better selfies, a new lens for the rear 12 megapixel camera so white people can take better pictures of their food, a new glossy black color called “White Privilege Piano” and the removal of the headphone jack so white people can show off their new AirPods. White people rejoiced at the news of iPhone’s minimal upgrades.
Local white male and Batman fanboy Quint Forgey tweeted, “I can’t wait to buy a White Privilege Piano model. I’ll be just like Bruce Wayne — daddy issues included.” With Apple keeping most of its other products the same, the AirPods were the only seemingly new product Apple revealed at the event. The all-wireless, Bluetooth earphones retain the mediocre audio quality of Apple’s old EarPods, which came bundled with iPhones. But, the Airpods will allow users to issue voice commands to Siri. “Since Siri’s introduction in 2011, millions of white people have incorporated belittling her into their lives,” Cook said. “We want to make it even easier for people to issue sexist commands, so
we’re going to charge consumers $160 for tacky, Bluetooth headsets from 2006.” The San Francisco crowd reacted to the AirPods announcement by granting Cook a standing ovation. The Apple Watch line received little to no hardware upgrades as well, with integrated GPS being touted as the main new feature. “This was actually requested by the Secret Service,” said Chief Design Officer Jonathan Ive. “The GPS works with the old health functions, serving as a fashionable LifeAlert so they can keep track of Hillary Clinton.” Clinton was seen wearing the new Apple Watch model while attending Sunday’s 9/11 memorial in New York City.

resulted in much speculation about the presidential candidate’s health. “Secretary Clinton is fine. Her Apple Watch said her heart rate was normal,” said Clinton campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri. “She just made the mistake of drinking too much vodka and standing in the sun. Chill out.” Apple closed the live streamed event with a performance from Australian pop artist and wig aficionado, Sia. “We were going to have Taylor Swift perform, but her advertising contract with us doesn’t include any performances,” Cook said.

Tuesday, September 13, 2016 OFFENSE, from page 3 of the week When senior cornerback Tre’Davious White fielded a punt at the 40-yard line and backtracked 20 yards, Miles went through a rollercoaster of emotions. “It was, ‘No, no, no,’ and then it went, ‘Go, go,’” Miles said, as he recalled watching White’s punt
ETLING, from page 3 Junior fullback J.D. Moore noticed Danny Etling was significantly more spry than usual during LSU’s 34-13 victory against Jacksonville State on Saturday. Etling, who hadn’t played in a live football game since week five in 2014 while he was at Purdue, made his way down the bench high-fiving his teammates, saying “Let’s go,” leading up to LSU’s first possession in the second quarter. Moore wasn’t certain that Etling’s
returned. “I was just madder than hell initially. I said, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing? Go, go.’ And then he knew where the corner was.” After shaking off multiple Jacksonville State defenders, White found the endzone from 60 yards out. It was White’s third career punt return touchdown, earning
the Shreveport, Louisiana, native Co-SEC special team player of the week honors, sharing the award with Auburn placekicker Daniel Carlson. With his 60-yard score, White moved to tie in second place — behind former LSU standout Skyler Green — for most all-time special teams touchdowns in LSU history.
enthusiasm meant he was going into the game, but it tipped him off. “That was my first inclination, when he started coming down the offensive bench,” Moore said. “I was like well Danny’s real excited. He kind of came alive there.” There wasn’t a widespread announcement along the Tiger sideline that Etling was replacing junior quarterback Brandon Harris for LSU’s next offensive drive. Everyone found out in different ways. Senior center Ethan Pocic said he was told to take snaps with
Etling, but didn’t think too much of it. When he finally got word that the quarterback switch was official, he knew his composure would be on full display. “He’s been in that situation before at Purdue,” Pocic said. “He handled it really well, he was really composed. It was like practice to him. It felt the same as practice.” Pocic, who hosted Etling during his official visit to campus last summer, said composure, competitiveness and a high football IQ are Etling’s signature attributes. He showcased all of those traits in the second quarter, orchestrating three consecutive scoring drives, completing 60 percent of his passes and picking up 65 yards and a touchdown on his first drive. “It’s part of Danny, it’s just who he is.”

LSU to don ‘Gridiron Gold’ uniforms Saturday
BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_
For the first time since 1998, LSU will wear gold jerseys in the football game on Saturday against Mississippi State. In a news release, LSU coach Les Miles announced that the Tigers will wear the “Gridiron Gold” uniform in the Tigers annual “Gold Game.” The uniforms be to those the Tigers wore during the ’40s. “We’re very excited to wear the old LSU colors and honor the past with this new uniform,” said junior running back Leonard Fournette in the release. “It’s a special moment for us to be able to wear it and represent Louisiana on the field. The uniform is a throwback; it’s a classy look.” The Tigers will also be wearing special helmets that include numerals inside of the traditional LSU logo. The helmets pay tribute to LSU’s helmet design from 1957-71, when the players’ jersey
numbers were also displayed on each side of the headgear. The jerseys will also include a vintage block “L” on the right hip of the pants and the old school “Sailor Mike” logo on the collars of the jerseys. It will also be the first time LSU has worn gold jerseys in Tiger Stadium since 1996, when the Tigers posted a 35-0 win over Vanderbilt.

Baton Rouge jewelry designers showcase their gameday wares BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @SemajAtkinson As the second home game of the football season approaches, you can definitely count on local spots like Frock Candy and Kat Noel Designs for a host of gameday and essential jewelry pieces. The stores cater to shoppers in a different way, but they both provide fashionable jewelry nonetheless. Frock Candy not only prides itself on fashionable apparel and shoes, but an assortment of jewelry as well. “We’ll definitely always have you dressed and impressed,” said Frock Candy employee Johanna Majors. The boutique is located in the heart of Perkins Rowe and always welcomes new customers. Though gameday stackable bracelets are Frock Candy’s
bestsellers during football season, assistant manager Allison Comeaux said the store has more to offer. Frock Candy has a variety of jewelry, ranging from casual studs, dressy drop-earrings and dainty necklaces to long statement pieces. With a restock in jewelry every Monday, Frock Candy is sure to always have the latest jewelry trends. With prices ranging from $8 to $36, the store has the college student’s budget in mind. Though having local options can be beneficial, online shopping can be more convenient. With her jewelry available on Etsy.com, Kathryn Jenkins, creator of Kat Noel Designs, provides exclusive jewelry at your fingertips. Jenkins kicked off her custom jewelry line in 2014 as a hobby but has since established her brand. She said she prides
herself on using quality materials so that her handmade jewelry lasts. “It’s crazy because little girls have commented under pictures of my cuff bracelets with interest,” Jenkins said. Every Kat Noel Design is made with someone in mind. Jenkins has created customized pieces for bridesmaids, as well as customers just looking for something special to complement their outfit. Being a University alumna, Jenkins didn’t forget to create jewelry that shows purple-and-gold school spirit. “My line includes $22 mini cuffs and $24 studs that are your everyday accessories in team colors, or you can go for a statement necklace for $64 that is sure to get you some attention,” she said. Every outfit needs complementary pieces and these local shops have all that you need.

Two LSU students are helping the community recover from recent devastating events by encouraging people to laugh through the pain. Best friends Nam Vu and O’mar Finley have been doing comedy together for almost a year now. The duo started off performing every week at local venues’ open-mic nights before their first appearance at a venue called The Guru located on Government Street. Vu said that the venue liked them so much the owners offered them a permanent gig. Since then, Finley, a digital media arts graduate student, and Vu, a computer science student, have started their own comedy show called “NO show” which they perform once a month at The Guru. The comedians had the idea to combine their first initials to create the title of their show. Finley and Vu had their first show in May, and according to the comedians, it has since been a huge success. After their first show, Vu said that he realized that “this comedy show was going to be bigger than I could imagine.” The show has a natural comedic chemistry because the comedians are best friends and
understand each other’s senses of humor, Finley said. Vu and Finley have had several comedians featured at their shows including local comedians Reggie Raw, Tim Smith, Mike Honore and Howard Hall. Even though the comedians have had great success, they have remained humble. Because Finley and Vu are Baton Rouge residents, they felt compelled to help the community after the devastating flood in August. The comedians were able to raise almost $500 to donate to the American Red Cross during that month’s show. Finley said he thinks their comedy show is important to the community because Baton Rouge
has had a “long and eventful summer” and he believes that their show will help unite the community. For this reason, they will also be hosting a roast in December. They will donate all of the proceeds to three charities. Finley said Baton Rouge is a great place to live and he believes that their comedy show is a great way to showcase local talent. “I just want our comedy show to be something that the community can be proud of and look forward to every month,” Finley said. They also agreed that they plan on expanding their show to New Orleans, and they are constantly aiming to improve. Their next show is Monday, Sept. 19.
