Hillary Clinton makes appearance at Landrieu rally BY SAVANAH DICKINSON sdickinson@lsureveille.com
NEW ORLEANS — Sen. Mary Landrieu’s, D-La., “Women with Mary Geaux Vote” event Saturday at the Sugar Mill of New Orleans opened with a number of prominent Louisiana and Texas Democrats speaking on Landrieu’s behalf. But the crowd anxiously awaited the appearance of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to show her support for Landrieu’s campaign. The event focused on Landrieu’s policies for women, and some speakers brought a lighter side — comparing Landrieu to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Former Sen. John Breaux said Louisiana is good at two things: football and politics.
Both Landrieu and Clinton appealed to the large group of mothers and grandmothers that comprised most of the audience. “I have joined the grandmothers’ club,” Clinton said. “It’s a fabulous club. It makes you really think about what’s important in life, doesn’t it?” Clinton said having a grandchild makes her think about the future of the U.S. and how to keep the American dream alive for future generations. “Women with Mary” banners were strung throughout the venue, and women wearing pink “Women with Mary” Tshirts dotted the crowd. Prior to her stop in New Orleans, Clinton had been stumping for another Democratic candidate in Kentucky, where
she said women — just like in Louisiana — are paid less for doing the same work as men. She referenced some estimates that the wage gap in Louisiana is worse than in any other state in the U.S. If women’s pay were raised to be equal with men’s, Clinton said, women would stimulate the economy by spending their money in Louisiana. “This is a family issue, a fairness issue and an economic issue,” she said. In an attempt to include the men in the room, Clinton said they would also benefit from Landrieu’s policies like raising the minimum wage and benefits. “The economic policies Mary promotes works for

Probe of space tourism rocket crash may take year THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOJAVE, Calif. — Billionaire Richard Branson is promising to find out what caused the crash of his Virgin Galactic prototype space tourism rocket that killed a test pilot, but federal investigators are cautioning that it may take up to a year to learn exactly what went wrong. The crash in the California desert almost certainly dashed Branson’s goal of starting suborbital flight next spring, but the mogul said that while he remained committed to civilian space travel “we are not going to push on blindly.” In grim remarks at the Mojave Air and Space Port, where the craft known as SpaceShipTwo was under development, Branson gave no details of Friday’s accident and deferred to the NTSB, whose team began its first day of investigation Saturday. “Yesterday, we fell short,” he said. “We’ll now comprehensively assess the results of the crash and are determined to learn from this and move forward.” He asserted that safety has always been the top priority of the program that envisions taking wealthy tourists six at a time to the edge of space for a brief
experience of weightlessness and a view of Earth below. The pilot killed in the test flight was identified Saturday as Michael Tyner Alsbury, 39, of nearby Tehachapi. The surviving pilot is Peter Siebold, 43, who parachuted to safety and was hospitalized. Both worked for Scaled Composites, the company developing the spaceship for Virgin Galactic. Scaled Composite said Alsbury was the co-pilot for the test flight. Siebold, who was piloting SpaceShipTwo, “is alert and talking with his family and doctors,” the company said in a statement. A former colleague said Alsbury was a “home-schooled, homebrewed” pilot who earned his way up through the ranks at the company, starting as an engineer. Alsbury had also put himself through commercial pilot school and was certified as a flight instructor. “Mike loved what he did. I think his career ended with him doing exactly that. ... That yesterday ended up in a tragedy was kind of heart-breaking for many of us,” said Brian Binnie, another test pilot who worked at Scaled Composites for 14 years before leaving the company this year.

Law enforcement officers take a closer look at the wreckage near the site where a Virgin Galactic space tourism rocket exploded and crashed Saturday in Mojave, Calif. The explosion killed a pilot aboard and seriously injured another. Christopher A. Hart said investigators don’t yet know how Siebold got out of the rocket ship because they haven’t had a chance to interview him. He said they found an undeployed parachute at the crash site. Hart also said a 5-mile path of debris over an area of uninhabited desert indicates the spacecraft broke up in flight. Learning where
spacecraft parts fell will help investigators determine when and how the breakup occurred. “This will be the first time we have been in the lead of a space launch (accident) that involved persons onboard,” said Hart, noting that the NTSB did participate in investigations of the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters.

Gate stolen from Dachau concentration camp THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — A wrought-iron gate bearing the Nazis’ cynical slogan “Arbeit macht frei,” or “Work sets you free,” has been stolen from the former Dachau concentration camp, police said Sunday. Security officials noticed early Sunday morning that the gate measuring 190 by 95 centimeters (75 by 37 inches) — set into a larger iron gate — was missing, police said in a statement. Whoever stole it during the night would have had to climb over another gate to reach it, they added. Police said they found nothing in the immediate vicinity of the camp and appealed for anyone who noticed any suspicious people or vehicles to come forward. Dachau, near Munich, was the first concentration camp set up by the Nazis in 1933. More than 200,000 people from across Europe were held there and over
40,000 prisoners died before it was liberated by U.S. forces on April 29, 1945. The camp is now a memorial. Memorial director Gabriele Hammermann condemned the theft of the gate, which she described as “the central symbol for the prisoners’ ordeal,” news agency DPA reported. She said a private security service supervises the site but officials had decided against surveillance of the former camp with video cameras because they didn’t want to turn it into a “maximumsecurity unit.” That decision may now have to be reviewed, she added. In December 2009, the infamous “Arbeit macht frei” sign that spanned the main gate of the Auschwitz death camp, built by the Nazis in occupied Poland, was stolen. Police found it three days later cut into pieces in a forest on the other side of Poland.

Flux Pavilion discusses Voodoo experience, creative process
BY JOSHUA JACKSON jjackson@lsureveille.com
NEW ORLEANS — When mentioning the leaders of the dubstep genre, United Kingdom-based artist Flux Pavilion tends to come up in conversation. The producer has toured all over the world working on songs for films and collaborating with other artists. Flux Pavilion decided to end his touring season at Voodoo this year, where The Daily Reveille sat down with him to discuss his set and how he makes his music. The Daily Reveille: You just finished your set at the Le Plur stage. How was it? Flux Pavilion: Well, I’ve been on the road for nine weeks now. This was the last show in my nine-week tour, so I feel good having reached the end, but I feel especially good having it end at a festival. There’s so much — in America especially — there are one day events that are called festivals, whereas in the U.K. and around Europe, a festival tends to be a big sprawling celebration of music. It’s good to be stateside and be a part of a real festival.
TDR: How do you feel your music has progressed since the days of “I Can’t Stop”? FP: I don’t know, really. I just keep on writing it, I guess. I feel like I’m starting to understand how to approach production a lot more than I used to. “I Can’t Stop,” I wrote in my bedroom with some [approximately $320] speakers. I feel like I understand the process of writing music now. At the same time, I’m trying to forget everything I’ve learned and just go back to when I was 12 and it was more fun. Life is more fun as a little kid, so I want to go back there in my mind.
TDR: You’ve worked with the likes of Steve Aoki, Childish Gambino and more. How is it working with all of these artists? FP: It tends to happen all over Twitter. I tweeted Childish Gambino because he’d done a freestyle on a beat that I’d wrote, and then he hit me up to do a remix. I started working on the remix and I was like, “You know what? This is too good.” So I just made a whole new song out of it. Steve Aoki is someone I see at festivals all the time, and it was inevitable that we’d work together. It’s like having
a meal with someone you’ve known for years. Whenever you meet, you always go to dinner. It’s the same way with the studio.
TDR: People know who you are, but not what you look like. Are you OK with not having as much of a face to your name? FP: It’s never really the intention, is it? When you’re writing music, you don’t start thinking about how you’re gonna sell it — you think about how good the music will be. Being around so many big brands now, I can learn a few things. But for me, if the song is good, then who cares what you look like? Who cares what the album cover is? That’s why I put most of my attention into the music. I have an awesome team of agents and management to do all that other stuff. TDR: Where do you find most of your musical inspiration? FP: It comes from a feeling. I listen to a piece of music, and it makes me feel a certain way. So then I’ll try to write a piece of music that makes me feel that same type of way. Let’s say it was an Arctic Monkeys record, and I listened to it, and it makes me feel like I’m

All I want to do is soak up the wonder and look at it. If it makes me feel like that, then I try to write a record that captures that feeling. But I’m not Arctic Monkeys. I don’t have the sound they do or the instruments, so my sound will be different from theirs, but it’ll have that same feeling.
TDR: Now that you’re all done touring, what’s next? FP: Well I’ve got a full-length album. I’ve got about 15 or 16 tracks that I’ll probably whittle down to about 12 solid tracks. I’ve got about two months to finish it, and it’s coming out next year. You can reach Joshua Jackson on Twitter @Joshua_Jackson_.
Luxley enjoys first Voodoo appearance BY meg ryan mryan@lsureveille.com NEW ORLEANS — Luxley has grown recently and can add performing at Voodoo Music and Arts Experience on Saturday to the list. Luxley, otherwise known as Ryan Gray, started the project about two years ago while in medical school. While he enjoyed his time in the classroom, he said he felt music pulling him in that direction. “I was in med school for two years and I loved it, but I love this a lot more,” Gray said. He said the band started as a singer-songwriter project with a more post-rock sound and has now morphed into a synth-pop and dance sound. The sound shift happened when Gray started feeling like he wasn’t putting enough time toward this musical side. To combat this feeling, Gray started writing music with more bounce and groove and a “texture that was more synth related.” “I like making people smile,” Gray said. ”Dancing is fun, and it brings a lot of energy to your show.” For Gray, the live performance is important and “has to feel real.” Gray credits growing up in the live music-heavy city of

A couple in costume watch a performance Friday during Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. New Orleans with this need for the instrumentation of his music to sound real. He also uses “blues-sounding guitar parts” and horns in parts of his songs — another New Orleans influence. Gray said Luxley had a great time performing its 11:45 a.m. set. He said while the early time was a slight challenge to work with, he enjoyed watching the people pour in throughout the set. By the end of the show, when its set list hit its peak, everyone was there to enjoy.
Leading up to Voodoo, Luxley toured with Britain-based Bombay Bicycle Club and Milo Greene. “We toured with them for four weeks in some amazing venues that blew my mind,” Gray said. He said the tour was a big step for Luxley, and it gave the band the opportunity to gain more fans by working closely with Bombay Bicycle Club. “They were a great band to learn from and be educated by and just become friends with,” Gray said. He said he recently recorded an EP in New York City that will be released in early spring. The EP was recorded individually with former Passion Pit member Ayad Al Adhamy and Justin Gerrish, who worked with Vampire Weekend. Along with the EP, Luxley rereleased its song “Spirit” about a week and a half ago. A record is also in the works and will be on shelves late next year. As for Gray, he said right now he’s focusing on the music, and it’s up in the air whether he’ll head back to medical school. “Follow your bliss, and do what makes you happy,” he said.

Burbank Drive intersection to get new stop light at Ben Hur BY kaci cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development expects a new traffic light at the intersection of Burbank Drive and Ben Hur Road to make traveling to campus easier for students living at The Exchange or The Cottages. Students will no longer have to wait for the road to clear before crossing it and heading toward West Lee Drive. Lauren Lee, public information officer for the DOTD, said there will be less traffic in the area near Ben Hur Road because of the traffic light’s installation. She said heavy traffic is
the reason it is being put there. “The signal is being installed to mitigate increased traffic as a result of Arlington Creek Subdivision,� Lee said. According to a memorandum from the Baton Rouge Office of the Planning Commission, Arlington Creek Subdivision is the name given to the area between West Lee Drive and Ben Hur Road. The developer of the subdivision, Jack Harper, is responsible for the light’s installation. Lee said work will not begin until poles for the traffic light arrive. Kinesiology sophomore Katelyn Brady said the traffic light is a long time coming. She has seen
a number of accidents since she moved to Baton Rouge a year and a half ago. “This traffic light is long overdue, and I can’t believe it has even taken this long,� Brady said. “This road is nothing but a safety hazard.� Brady hopes installation of the light will help lessen traffic, but she believes it could also cause conflict. Adding the traffic light, she said, would eliminate crowding near the Ben Hur Road turning lane, but not without creating larger crowding near the existing light at the intersection of West Lee and Burbank drives. “I just hope it helps alleviate all the safety issues and
makes the lives of all those who live around [the BurbankBen Hur area] a whole lot easier because I know that’s been a big inconvenience,� Brady said. Industrial engineering freshman Taylor Hogan agreed installation of the light is necessary, although the traffic-prone intersection has little effect on her because she lives on East Boyd Drive. Hogan said the light is still something to get excited about because it will decrease students’ chances of getting into accidents. “I think the traffic light installation is a great thing because there’s a lot of traffic
coming off of Ben Hur each day,� Hogan said. “And with the new Exchange complex opening, there will be plenty more people coming in contact with the Burbank-Ben Hur intersection.� Brady said after the light installation is completed, she hopes the DOTD will take notice of the traffic and safety issues bringing harm to students at the intersection of Brightside and Nicholson. “Overall, I think the more traffic lights there are, the better,� Hogan said. “Baton Rouge is full of young drivers, and they need a light to dictate when they can pull out onto busy roads or not.�

Girl Code, Guy Code comedians perform at Union Theater BY Carrie Grace Henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com Comedians of the Guy Code + Girl Code Comedy tour told audience members Saturday how to handle relationship fights, how to pretend their excessive take out order is for more than one person and how to power through awkward small talk. Nessa, Jon Gabrus, Jordan Carlos and Damien Lemon each did their own set, coming together at the end of the show to battle it out on topics like friends with benefits, frenemies and how to get out of the friendzone. Nessa, the only female comedian in the show, chose audience members to tell their stories in Know the Code and
Don’t Judge Me segments. The audience picked the best answer to questions like “What’s the worst way you’ve ever broken up with someone?� or “What’s the worst pick up line you’ve ever used?� but every contestant went home with a prize. Coastal and environmental science senior John Stoddart competed with five other students in Don’t Judge Me, and said the games were a cool way to meet the comedians he watches on television. “I was consistently laughing the whole time,� Stoddart said, “Especially Jon Gabrus, he was definitely my favorite of the show.� But Gabrus was not as popular with everyone. A few audience members left the LSU
Student Union Theater offended when he began detailing a drunken sexual encounter. “Those people thought this was a church meeting,� Gabrus said as they exited. Gabrus also asked audience members about the new LSU UREC expansion and was surprised to hear it included a lazy river. “That’s not a gym anymore,� he said, encouraging audience members to imagine the football team splashing around in the new addition. All the comics joked about their trip to south Louisiana, from Nessa making her boyfriend jealous to Lemon noticing a large number of HIV billboards. Carlos took his stories a step further by imitating the Cajun accent of his waitress
from Tony’s Seafood Market and Deli. Carlos also did impressions of white girls who love hiphop, an old man at a town hall meeting and Ice Cube and his children on a bad day. But he got the most laughs at the end of his set doing his impression of President Barack Obama trying to solve a riddle. Lemon told audience members how losing his phone left him with no direction in life, especially when going out to eat. “How will I know I ate if I can’t take a picture of it?�
he said. Some audience members lingered outside the theater after the show in hopes of meeting their favorite comedian. Electrical engineering freshman Emmanuel Rodriguez said he does not come to many Union theatre shows, but was happy he won tickets to this one from KLSU. “I thought it was cool because you see all that stuff on TV, but now you get to experience it here live,� Rodriguez said.

Despite the LSU football team’s 0-2 start in Southeastern Conference play, one scenario still exists in which the Tigers could win the SEC West.

Fans should assess season realistically the cuban cannon tommy romanach Columnist
Yes, there is some miraculous formula by which LSU could make the Southeastern Conference Championship Game despite its worst start in more than a decade. No, you should not be thinking about this formula during every game. It would be more beneficial to keep your expectations realistic. Being realistic and reasonable isn’t exactly the most popular thing in this age of college football. People’s infatuation with the sport has created a new existence in which no team is average, and everyone is given a label. This type of thinking leads to teams getting multiple labels throughout the season, and LSU is a fine example. Remember, this is a team that fans wanted to crucify earlier in the season, a team that allegedly had no strengths and was headed to a 0-8 conference record. With two losses, the conversation changed from if LSU could win the conference to if LSU could make a bowl game. Someone with a more reasonable mind sat down and realized LSU is young and probably won’t put it together until midway through the year. This same person also realized LSU had too much talent to lose to Kentucky. But a reasonable mind isn’t going to dominate conversations or receive retweets with its opinions, so most people tend to think bolder. In a 24-hour news cycle, there always has to be a certain declaration about a team. The

Rubiano closes out season with strong performances LSU junior goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano (25) looks to throw the ball downfield during the Tigers’ 2-0 loss against Auburn Thursday in the LSU Soccer Stadium. Javier Fernández /
The Daily Reveille
BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com LSU freshman defender Alexis Urch had just one word to describe junior goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano. That word was “amazing.” “I’ll be so out of position, and [Rubiano] will always save me,” Urch said. “She’s a really great goalkeeper who can hit all spots in the goal. Catalina can be parallel to the ground, and it doesn’t matter. I’ve never seen that in my life. She’s
amazing.” Since she took over goalkeeping duties on Oct. 9, Rubiano gave the Tigers the steady veteran presence in goal they desperately craved throughout their rocky 2014 season. Opponents continuously tested the seemingly inexperienced Rubiano with relentless attacks and a bombardment of shots, but LSU’s cool-natured goalkeeper never shied away from any of the countless challenges during her six games between net.
Instead, Rubiano met them head-on. “She’s a real confident kid to begin with,” said LSU soccer coach Brian Lee. “She doesn’t get rattled, and she always keeps the right mindframe.” Rubiano was tested plenty during her six games in goal. Opponents fired off 17.8 shots per match against Rubiano, two shots more than what opponents averaged in the 14 games LSU freshman goal-
see rubiano page 6
page 6 rubiano, from page 5 keeper Lily Alfeld started. Five of the six teams Rubiano faced ended the contest with more shots than their season averages. But Rubiano said she was glad for the ample experience because it helped her become more confident in goal. “Part of the growth is just getting comfortable with the level of play, the speed of it and the amount of strength that all the girls have out there,” Rubiano said. “It never comes easy, but I can only hope that the experience of each game will make me better and more confident in little aspects. It’s been a good adjustment for me.” However, the Tigers failed to provide Rubiano with much goal support during her time as starter. LSU averaged 9.3 shots with only 2.8 on target during Rubiano’s six games in goal, and the lack of offensive flow led to only three goals of support for the New Orleans native. Conversely, the Tigers posted an average of 12.8 shots with 5.4 on target in the 14 games Alfeld started, and LSU tallied 23 goals during that span. LSU was blanked in only five of Alfeld’s 14 matches compared to four shutouts in the six games Rubiano started. Given the abundance of shots Rubiano faced combined with the lack of goal support she received, LSU sophomore forward Summer Clarke couldn’t help but admire her teammate’s composure. “[Rubiano’s] done really well, and personally I’m very proud of her,” Clarke said. “She got here when I got here [in 2013], and I’ve seen her improve so much since then, so I’m just really proud of her. She’s been working really hard and doing well, and I think she’s earned her spot in there.” Rubiano recorded 29 saves this season and concluded the year with a string of four consecutive games with at least five saves. She also posted a combined 13 saves in consecutive matches against Kentucky and No. 9 Florida, two of the top three scoring teams in the Southeastern Conference.
Urch said she’s never been on a team with a goalkeeper of Rubiano’s caliber. “Catalina’s so quick,” Urch said. “I’ve never really played with a goalkeeper that fast, and a lot of times she saves me. In high school, I never really had a good goalkeeper, and my club goalkeeper was good in the air, but she didn’t have that fast of reflexes like Catalina does.” Rubiano’s cat-like reflexes and athleticism were instrumental in the Tigers’ improvement against set pieces, which had been the team’s Achilles’ heel for much of the season. With Rubiano in goal, LSU surrendered only two goals off of set pieces in six games. In the 14 matches before Rubiano took over, the Tigers had given up eight such goals. But every goalkeeper, no matter how talented, allows teams to score at some point, and Rubiano was no different. She gave up 13 goals during her six starts, but Lee said there wasn’t much more she could have done to prevent them. “Catalina’s just a really good shot stopper,” Lee said. “You’re always looking at the end result with any player. With Catalina, you can’t point at any goal with her having anything to do with. She’s made the saves she’s needed to, and when she’s been beaten, it hasn’t been anything to do with something she did.” Given her performance to end the 2014 season, Rubiano seems to be the leading candidate to start at goalkeeper next year for the Tigers. Rubiano said she still has plenty to improve on, such as her goal kicks and positioning in the box, but she’s thrilled she finally got the chance to prove to others and herself she belongs on the pitch. “The last six games just solidified my confidence,” Rubiano said. “I thought I had what it takes to play at this level, and I think the way I showed up in the games proved it to myself and my coaches, and I’m really happy about that.”

Schuetz overcomes asthma, injury Junior runner now top performer for Lady Tigers
BY jacob hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com LSU junior cross country runner Morgan Schuetz didn’t plan on running competitively until she took the Presidential Physical Fitness test in middle school. Schuetz’s natural athletic ability caught her cross country coach’s eye, and she has been on the rise ever since. Schuetz quickly won backto-back Baton Rouge Metro Championships at Parkview Baptist in 2006 and 2007, showcasing her superior athletic ability against the area’s best talent. But Schuetz’s promising career as a top distance running prospect was nearly cut short when she struggled with asthma during her junior year in high school. Schuetz said running 100 meters became an insurmountable task, and she began reassessing her long-term running career. “I wouldn’t have just given it up because I am not a quitter,” Schuetz said. “It was really discouraging at times. Some days were harder than others, but I just kept running through it, and, luckily, it eventually got better.” Schuetz’s career took off when she competed internationally in the Sports Down Under program.

SEC, from page 5 team is either great or terrible, with no in between. Think about what this does to the players, who one week are told they’re the scum of the earth and the next week are up for canonization. One week LSU students file out of the stadium, giving their team no chance of coming back, and another week they’re on the field celebrating with the team. I know this may shatter some fans’ universes, but winning the SEC and a national championship is hard. You have to be great and need 40 breaks to go your way, and a lot of pretty good teams are left in the shuffle. LSU, like it or not, is one of those pretty good teams. It will probably win two of its last three games and make an appearance in the Peach Bowl. A win there would give the team 10 wins, and that’s nothing to be ashamed about. I’m not saying the chance for LSU to win the SEC West is impossible. The Tigers should be favored in two of their last three games, and beyond that they only need other SEC teams to win at home. Fans need to remember, this is still a young team with the potential to have a down game. LSU could win or lose any of the next three games and it wouldn’t be surprising. That’s just the beast of the SEC, and it doesn’t require any overreaction.

LSU beats Arkansas for ninth straight win BY brian pellerin bpellerin@lsureveille.com

Junior defensive end Danielle Hunter (94) celebrates during the Tigers’ 10-7 victory against Ole Miss on Oct. 25. All of this will be forgotten if the Tigers upset Alabama next weekend. A win against the Tide will make LSU elite in most fans’ eyes, and those early-season losses to Auburn and Mississippi State will be all but erased. This is exactly the mindset fans should lose. If LSU wins Saturday, look past the instant analysis and think about the team through the entire scope of the season. You’ll find an opinion unsuitable for talking heads, but one perfect for assessing your team. Tommy Romanach is a 22-yearold mass communication senior from Dallas, Texas.

The LSU volleyball team extended its winning streak to nine matches Sunday the same way it started the run, defeating Arkansas in five sets, 21-25, 19-25, 25-21, 25-21, 15-9. In early October, the last time LSU (14-8, 9-3 Southeastern Conference) and Arkansas (11-13, 5-6 SEC) met, the Razorbacks won two of the first three sets before the Tigers clawed their way back for their first conference win. A month later, the circumstances were different, with LSU riding an eight-game conference winning streak, but the result was the same. Arkansas took the first two sets again, but the Tigers didn’t quit. LSU got back into the match on the shoulders of a five-block third set and junior outside hitter Cati Leak. The Tigers added four fourth-set blocks and three fifth-set blocks, including two solo blocks from Leak. Leak finished the match with three solo blocks and three block assists, tying sophomore middle blocker Briana Holman for the team lead with six total blocks. LSU’s 14 blocks as a team is tied for its second highest total of the season, only falling short to its 17-block

I LOVE LSU! I graduated in 2011 and still miss my campus, my department (School of Renewable Natural Resources), my professors, and the people! After living near campus for 3 years, I LOATHED LSU football and all it stood for. The drunken antics of fans, the absurd amount of traffic, and the trash... SO MUCH TRASH! I’m very happy to see this article, but seriously doubt that it will result in any change. My experience with LSU football fans gave me the impression that this group is comprised mostly of arrogant, entitled, @#$holes who are rude, inconsiderate, and have little to no respect for the educational institute that LSU is supposed to be.

Tomorrow morning, the polls will open and Louisiana voters will bring this election cycle one step closer to its conclusion. But number of voters cast their ballots over the course of a week during early voting, which ended last Tuesday. I was among these voters, and in the case of the 6th District congressional race, I cast my vote for Paul Dietzel II. Full disclosure: I have worked for Friends of Dietzel since the spring semester, and I don’t speak on its behalf. However, I doubt that I would have stayed in its employment if I didn’t believe Dietzel was the man for the job. I decided I was voting for Dietzel long before I started working for him. He declared for the 6th District race in May 2013, making him one of the first to jump in the race. I attended his campaign kickoff event this January and was sold. Dietzel was just 27 at the time, and he had a firmer grasp on the issues than many of his elders contending for the seat. Naturally, I liked that he is both a fiscal and social conservative, yet not radically so. He is the kind of candidate
who would rather speak on tax reform than President Barack Obama’s birth certificate or global warming being a hoax. A real clincher was the fact that in terms of national security, he is more realistic than your average millennial. If you’ve ever read any of my previous columns, you know I’m more of a Theodore Roosevelt than a Woodrow Wilson. A large portion of our generation, having grown up in a country at war for more than a decade, has taken a tone of retrenchment — if not outright isolationism — in terms of our involvement abroad. Dietzel has called for congressionallyapproved action against the Islamic State and has criticized the administration for its withdrawal from Iraq without a status of forces agreement with the government in Baghdad, which is primarily responsible for the group’s rise in the region. He is also one of the few people bringing up the very real, dual threats of cyber warfare and electromagnetic pulse, or EMP. How open he was with his faith impressed me. It pains me to say that many politicians use Christianity as a qualification for their campaigns or merely see it as a talking point in certain settings. Dietzel is the kind of man that lives each and every day for Christ, even having acted as a leader for praise and worship. One thing that truly sets him apart from the other candidates is his age. The Republican Party is frequently stereotyped as a bunch of old, white men. And yes, Dietzel is Caucasian, but he is not a
Editorial Policies & Procedures
member of the generations that gave us more than $17 trillion in national debt. As a 28-year-old, his age is touted as a weakness by some. I see it as an advantage. He can better relate to millennials than any other candidate because he is one of us. He understands the woes of student loan debt because he had to take out loans himself to pay for graduate school. Dietzel chose to run his campaign as cleanly and ethically as humanly possible. He doesn’t run attack ads, nor does he smear other candidates, which makes the fact that the Garret Graves campaign sent out a mail piece attacking him with outright lies and distortions of the truth even more shameful. So much so that Woody Jenkins, GOP chairman for East Baton Rouge Parish, has called for voters to oppose Graves’ candidacy unless he issues a “public apology and retraction.” It was a great pleasure working at the Dietzel campaign these past months, and God willing, I will continue to do so until the inevitable runoff on Dec. 6. However, as great a time as I had, it was even sweeter casting my ballot with a check mark next to Paul Dietzel II’s name. The voters of the 6th District ought to consider doing the same.

Dreams of space exploration don’t end in Virgin Galactic crash but he means well gordon brillon Opinion Editor It wasn’t until late in the day Saturday that I heard about the explosion of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. During a test launch Friday, the craft, which was meant to be a prototype for Virgin’s burgeoning space tourism program, suffered a malfunction likely related to the new type of rocket fuel it used and exploded, killing one of the pilots immediately and seriously injuring the other. But it was only scrolling through old tweets Saturday that I caught wind of the event. Virgin founder Richard Branson quickly made his way to the crash site in California’s Mojave Desert, where he dropped his usual international-windsurfing-playboy persona to issue a statement of surprising bravery. After expressing his regret for the accident and sorrow for the pilot who was killed, Branson didn’t back down from his plan to get civilians, albeit only extremely wealthy ones, into space. “Yesterday, we fell short,” Branson wrote in a statement on Virgin.com. “We will now comprehensively assess the results of the crash and are determined to learn from this and move forward as a company.” It would have been very easy for Branson to put his tail between his legs here and back

The remnants of Friday’s Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo crash lay in the Mojave Desert. away from the whole Virgin Galactic venture. But he kept repeating the phrase, “move forward,” and despite Friday’s tragedy, pledged to continue with his commercial space travel venture. I hope I never have to say this again in my life, but good on you, Richard Branson.
I can’t be sure about his motives, and I’m sure he will make an absurd amount of money if Virgin Galactic ever finds success, but I still have to admire Branson’s commitment to progress even in the face of disaster. At the risk of sounding like that kid from high school
geometry who’s weirdly passionate about space elevators, the future of the human race does lie off of the planet. At the rate the human population is expanding, it won’t be long before it exceeds the Earth’s carrying capacity. So we have a few options if we want to avoid mass famine,
disease and overcrowding. We can convince people to stop having kids — should be easy, right? Or we can get everyone to scale back a little on the oil, food and other nonrenewable resources. We’ll get right on that, just as soon as we can get everyone to believe that a hundred years’ worth of empirical evidence of changing climates isn’t a conspiracy between the United Nations to take everyone’s national sovereignty and grant funding. So since neither of those seem to be viable options, we as a nation and a planet need to look for creative solutions to the problems facing us as a species. That might just include looking outside our planet to harness the resources available in our solar system. And because governmentfunded space programs function on the whims of the global economy and military climate, it’s up to private ventures like Virgin Galactic to push progress in the field. There will be some difficulties along the way, like Friday’s disaster, but that’s part of any real progress. I’ll probably never get to go to space. But there’s a good chance that during my life, I’ll see a person walk on Mars. I don’t really care whether it’s the United States government or some billionaire’s plaything that gets them there; it’ll be an amazing accomplishment either way.

Outdated beliefs hold students back from true success no way jose jose bastidas Columnist In this century, there are many of us who still believe the craziest theories about how life works. Throwing some salt over our shoulder when we knock over the shaker and the idea the groom can’t see the bride’s dress before the wedding are just some examples of theories we still practice that don’t do much except make us seem crazy to the rest of the world. But when these insane theories prevent us from taking a break when we need it, or keep our society from letting go of harmful, antiquated misconceptions, then it’s time for a
much-needed reality check. One example of a misguided state of mind is this generation’s inability to take a break when they’re sick. The change in temperature signals the beginning of flu season, meaning countless college students will juggle their busy schedules, responsibilities and add a few pounds of used Kleenex to the mix. In small classes, attendance is usually checked and professors go on about the importance of not missing a single class session. This forces college students to wipe their noses, get out of their beds and use the small amount of energy their illness didn’t take away to go to class and expose rooms filled with other, equally as stressed students to whatever disease the sick ones are carrying. Students today believe if they take a break from their
responsibilities to rest and get over their symptoms, they will set themselves up for academic failure. Email someone in the class and ask for the notes you missed. Most assignments can be turned in electronically. Stay on top of your work as much as you can. Don’t let go of your responsibilities, but realize your health is more important. Having an A in biology will serve no purpose if you’re too exhausted and sick to make it to graduation. Let’s break the cycle folks — stay home. Ideas like these might only affect the individual more than the community, but some of these ideas prevent our society from becoming more accepting. According to E! Online, Cartoon Network censored what would’ve been the network’s first
kiss between a same-sex male couple. Confirmed by a writer for the show “Clarence,” Spencer Rothbell, the network decided to change a couple who was originally intended to kiss on the mouth, with one of the characters holding flowers, to a kiss on the cheek and no flowers. This may seem like a trivial change in the grand scheme of things, but the reality is these types of small changes are preventing our society from moving past the negative stigma given to the gay community. Exposing yourself to gay culture is not going to make you or anyone around you gay. However, programming that shows a more open and realistic society can change us for the better. Your kids won’t become gay, but maybe they won’t feel the
need to bully others who are. If we all truly strive for a more inclusive society, then we can allow all versions of life to be accurately portrayed in the media. Older generations have filled our heads with ideas of what we should do and how we should do it. But things are different now. Technology allows us to be in more places at once, and society is slowly opening its arms to other cultures and social norms. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that things are different now, the more likely we will able to live a comfortable and better life.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [right] speaks Saturday in support of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., [left] at a campaign rally in New Orleans.
CLINTON, from page 1 people,” Clinton said. Clinton also spoke about Landrieu’s character and record in the U.S. Senate, comparing Landrieu’s work to support Louisiana residents after Hurricane Katrina to her efforts after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. Clinton said Landrieu is a relentless workhorse, putting people ahead of politics. “I saw how she cares more about citizenship than partisanship,” she said. Clinton indirectly referenced Landrieu’s opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., throughout the event. “From what I’ve heard, Mary’s opponent didn’t really lift a finger after Isaac,” Clinton said.
City Council member LaToya Cantrell and state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, both spoke of Cassidy’s opposition to the final Violence Against Women Act reauthorization. Cantrell said she questioned how anyone could vote against an act that provides protections and assistance programs for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, as well as authorizes funds for law enforcement training programs, prosecution and victim services. The Democratic speakers ensured that none of this would be possible unless voters turn out on Tuesday. Breaux said Louisiana has shown a record turnout in early voting, jokingly encouraging voters to come out again on Tuesday.
Clinton spoke about the importance of participating in the election. She said during her time serving as Secretary of State, she traveled to 112 countries. “There were many places where people were literally dying to vote,” Clinton said. She said voters must vote for their dreams, not their fears. Clinton concluded the night by saying, “Give her [Landrieu] three days for six more years.” Numerous University students attended the Landrieu event, including international studies senior Michelle Lowry. “It’s a great experience to see someone who has had such an impact on politics and might have an even greater one,” Lowry said.
