ADMINISTRATION
Faculty pursues new paid parental leave policy BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano
“Instead of buying a clicker that multiple people can share, each person that uses a clicker has to buy a license.” This new model for clicker use was not decided upon by the University, but by Turning Technologies, the clickers’ manufacturer. Because each person has to buy a license for their own clicker, it defeats the purpose of sharing them through library distribution, Kelsey said. Regardless of whether you previously owned a clicker, the new system mandates each student who uses a clicker must purchase a clicker license.
The University’s Faculty Senate will begin negotiations in mid-September with the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Finance and Administration in hopes of establishing a paid parental leave policy for University faculty. Industrial engineering professor Fereydoun Aghazadeh and English professor Lillian Bridwell-Bowles first proposed the policy in Faculty Senate Resolution 16-08 in April. The resolution was unanimously approved by the Faculty Senate at its May 10 meeting. Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope said the Senate’s summer recess, compounded with the region’s flooding in August, slowed the proposal’s progress. Cope said the Senate will begin actively pursuing the policy when its 2016-2017 session convenes on Wednesday.

Middleton Library halts clicker rentals as students pick up the tab on new licenses BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ Beginning this semester, Middleton Library will no longer provide clickers for checkout, and students will now have to purchase a new clicker license that could cost between $21 and $55 in addition to the clickers themselves. Director of Library Communications and Publications Sigrid Kelsey said the rental clickers will not be coming back to Middleton, and they were returned to their original owners — LSU Student Government. “It all has to do with licensing,” Kelsey said.

LSU suspends senior offensive guard Josh Boutte for ‘flagrant’ hit Boutte will miss Sept. 10 home opener BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU announced Monday it will suspend senior offensive guard Josh Boutte for one game for his hit against Wisconsin’s junior defensive back D’Cota Dixon. “Josh made a mistake and
will serve a one game suspension because of it,” said LSU coach Les Miles in a statement. “Even though this was done by mistake, a play like this does not belong in the game of football, and therefore action must be taken.” Moments after Dixon intercepted LSU junior quarterback Brandon Harris’ pass late in the fourth quarter, Dixon began running off the field, celebrating his game-sealing interception. Seconds later, Boutte clipped
Dixon neck-high and was ejected from the game. After LSU’s 16-14 loss to unranked Wisconsin, Miles said Boutte initially told him he thought the play was still live and that was his reasoning for tackling Dixon. Boutte will miss the Tigers’ home opener on Sept. 10 against Jacksonville State. “This play does not define

CLICKERS, from page 1 Students can purchase licenses and licensing bundles, which include a new clicker, through the University’s bookstore or online at the manufacturer’s website. Turning Technologies has also now developed an app, ResponseWare, which includes many of the same functions that the physical clicker did. But according to the University’s Information Technology Services, it is up to the teacher’s discretion whether the app can be used, and students still have to purchase a license for the app. Some teachers may not possess the correct software for the app, according to the University’s IT Services. When purchasing a license, students must create an account through Turning Technologies. The license is then applied to their account using the TurningPoint Cloud Registration System, which allows the student to use their individual license on both a
clicker and their mobile app. According to the University’s IT Services, students should register their Turning Technologies account through the link provided by their professor, using their LSU email address. After purchasing a license, students must make sure their Device ID, found on their physical clicker, is registered on their account. Licenses and license bundles range in price from $20.99 to $54.99, and each license sold comes with a mail-in rebate offer. The rebate is worth $20.99 and is available to be processed online, using the code “Rlsu20.” Representatives from Student Government did not respond to a request for comment on the clickers in their possession, previously rented out by Middleton. “When we were needing to discontinue that service, we asked them if they wanted them back,” Kelsey said about returning the clickers to Student Government. “I don’t know what their plan is.”

PARENTAL LEAVE, from page 1 Cope said it’s important for the University to set the standard for employee welfare and benefits for local business and industry. The University currently lags behind other educational institutions, and establishing a sufficient paid parental leave policy would begin to close the gap, he said. In the resolution, Aghazadeh and Bridwell-Bowles cited the policies of eight public and private universities as examples of institutional standards the University could model its potential policy after. Five SEC schools were featured in the mix, including the University of Alabama and the University of Arkansas, which provide up to eight and six weeks of paid parental leave, respectively. The University’s current leave policy, last revised in November 2004, does not include a policy dedicated to paid parental leave. Instead, it refers faculty to the University’s family medical leave and sick leave policies. Faculty members can accrue paid sick leave hours at varying rates depending on the faculty member’s period of employment with the University. The current policy can impose an unfair financial hardship on young faculty members, Aghazadeh said. Young academics typically do not have significant savings, but postponing having a child until a sufficient number of paid sick leave hours have been accrued is often impractical, he said. Aghazadeh said he began investigating the University’s paid parental leave policy after an encounter with a young female colleague several years ago. The woman, a hard-worker and accomplished professor, returned to the University days after giving birth because she did not have enough paid sick leave hours to cover maternity leave, he said. Bridwell-Bowles said she has discussed similar hardships with University colleagues. The policy change could be an important morale booster for faculty members and could increase employee satisfaction, flexibility

SUSPENSION, from page 1 Josh as a person and is not indicative of the type of player he is,” Miles said. “We sincerely apologize for his mistake.” Miles said Boutte called Dixon on Monday to apologize for the illegal hit. Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey said his office will not take any further
and performance, Aghazadeh said. While instituting a paid parental leave policy is important for retaining current faculty members, it’s especially important for recruiting young faculty, she said. The graying of University faculty is a national trend, with faculty ages 55 and older comprising more than 33 percent of the workforce at academic institutions, according to a 2012 report from the University of Iowa Center on Aging and the TIAA-CREF Institute. It’s important for the University to remain competitive when aiming to attract outstanding junior faculty, Bridwell-Bowles said. “We’re in a terrible time economically, but that’s all the more reason to try to keep the University strong so that we can build toward the future,” Bridwell-Bowles said. “Having decent faculty benefits at a time when people have had no pay raises, poor retirement benefits and declining health benefits just seems like a small thing to do to … add to the attractiveness of this institution.” Bridwell-Bowles said instituting a paid parental leave policy is more fiscally reasonable than issuing across-the-board pay raises to faculty members. The University’s tenuous financial state is likely the reason a paid parental leave policy has not been put in place sooner, Bridwell-Bowles said. Faculty members rarely receive improved benefits during times of financial stress, and it’s important for faculty members to outline their needs to the University, she said. While negotiations on the policy are pending, Aghazadeh said he hopes the University will take steps in the meantime to assist expecting faculty members. The current faculty leave policy includes a provision whereby faculty members can donate accrued sick leave hours to other faculty members in special circumstances. However, the process is tedious, and it is difficult to receive approval to donate hours, Aghazadeh said. Relaxing the policy could be an important first step to making employment and family planning more manageable, he said. action with his suspension, according to a statement. “The game officials correctly assessed a penalty and ejection for Mr. Boutte’s flagrant contact,” Sankey said. “I have accepted the one-game suspension imposed by Les Miles and, because LSU has taken appropriate action, have determined that no additional penalty shall be imposed by the Conference office.”

One Man Show BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n
Tre’Davious White’s days outside of the spotlight are seemingly behind him. LSU’s senior cornerback, who bears the coveted No. 18 jersey, has more than established a dazzling rapport among his teammates as one of the nation’s premier defensive backs, especially in regards to one-on-one shutdown corners. However, that notoriety was largely diluted around the country before Saturday, when he was one of few bright spots for fifth-ranked LSU in a 16-14 loss against Wisconsin as he emerged as the Tigers’ most impactful player. In fact, the national community has “slept on” — or largely neglected his abilities — White since high school, when he signed with LSU as the 186th-ranked player in the country and 18th-best cornerback,
Tre’Davious White earns place in spotlight in new playmaking role
according to ESPN. Starting 35 of 37 games through his first three seasons, White picked up Third-Team Freshman All-America honors in 2013 and added a pair of All-SEC honors but has since been left off national award lists despite cementing himself as LSU’s top corner. “They want guys that’s going to be difference makers and get interceptions,” White said. On Saturday, White snagged the Tigers’ first seven points with an interception, which he returned for a touchdown in the third quarter — his third such collegiate score and first interception returned touchdown. He also recovered sophomore cornerback Donte Jackson’s forced fumble in the same quarter. “If you throw the ball late in front of Tre’Davious White, who’s
going to be a first round [NFL] draft pick, he’s going to make you pay,” said former NFL quarterback and college football analyst Brian Griese during the live broadcast. He was LSU’s “difference maker,” if the Tigers had one — a role he’s unfamiliar with. “I didn’t have many interceptions last year, but I feel like that didn’t dictate my impact on the game or dictate how well I played,” White said. “Maybe I didn’t have as many opportunities as other guys had or maybe the quarterback just didn’t throw me some fly-by, easy picks. “And we play a lot of bump-andrun coverage, so [I’m] not going to get too many opportunities to jump routes or sit back in zone and watch the quarterback.” But if dynamic playmakers

LSU coaches lose headset signal, cadences BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ Green Bay, Wisc. — LSU couldn’t hear anything. LSU coach Les Miles was talking into his headset and heard nothing from the other end. Brandon Harris was attempting to direct and align his offensive comrades who couldn’t hear him either. Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt ran to Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst and said he “didn’t think” LSU could hear its offensive cadences. “I mean, it was loud,” Chryst said. “T.J. Watt came to me, and he made a comment about how fun it was and he goes, ‘I don’t think they can hear the cadence.’ It was a great atmosphere.” Frankly, LSU couldn’t hear anything. Lambeau Field’s 77,823 spectators — 50,000-plus of which donned the Badgers’ cardinal red — didn’t help the Tigers’ cause, either. “It was a first-game communication issue,” Miles said. At one point, Miles had to use a timeout to address the headphone situation. “Our headphones dropped,

Tigers cite misssed assignments on poor execution BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Green Bay, Wisc — With 18 returning starters, LSU didn’t expect to have much trouble during its season opener on Saturday. The veteran group said they struggled with executing plays during fifth-ranked LSU’s 16-14 loss at Lambeau Field against Wisconsin. “We have to execute better in all facets of the game,” senior
defensive end Lewis Neal said. Wisconsin beat LSU at its own game — the “ground-and-pound,” run-first style of offense — in the first half, with senior running back Corey Clement and junior running back Dare Ogunbowale for 76 yards while the Wisconsin defense bottled up junior running back Leonard Fournette for only 35 yards. Neal explained that defensive coordinator Dave Aranda made adjustments at halftime, but the team still had trouble figuring out
their assignments. The 6-foot-2, 272-pound defensive end said the Badgers’ offensive line didn’t do anything special to confuse the defense. “It was about what we were expecting to face,” Neal said. “It wasn’t anything surprising or anything extravagant.” On the other side of the ball, the Badgers disrupted the LSU offensive line throughout the game. Wisconsin hurried and sacked junior quarterback Brandon Harris
twice and had three tackles for loss. Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst noticed at times that his offensive and defensive lines was more physical at the line of scrimmage than LSU. “There were times where we really were physical and were where we needed to be today,” Chryst said. On one occasion, Wisconsin senior linebacker Vince Biegel went completely untouched. “It’s called a ‘Psycho Track,’” Biegel said. “ I came inside the tackle, and I was surprised I was
unblocked. I actually thought it was a screen at first because I was unblocked so much.” The pressure Wisconsin put on Harris often flustered the 6-foot-3, 218-pound quarterback and attributed to the last minute interception Harris threw. The Badgers also controlled time of possession holding the ball for 37 minutes compared to LSU only having the ball for 23 minutes.

Kaepernick’s protest highlights national need for empathy BY CODY SIBLEY
ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley In America, a judge can cut a sexual assault perpetrator’s sentence in half, a former grand wizard can run for Senate and roughly 15 million children can live in poverty with almost no outcry from the public. But God forbid a football player sit down for the national anthem. In case anyone isn’t aware, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem before a game. He’s protesting the anthem because he said he does not want to show pride for a country that oppresses blacks and other racial minorities. History seems to back his case. Our national anthem has an extra verse in it that we don’t usually sing anymore: “No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of

the brave.” Time for a crash-course history lesson. The Star-Spangled Banner was written during the War of 1812, according to Snopes, the fact-checking website. Some slaves fought for the British in exchange for their freedom, and those lines mentioned above in our national anthem glorify the fact that Americans defeated and potentially killed the slaves who fought for the British. Our national anthem is rooted in racism. Context matters, and meaning changes over time, but this further highlights our systemic racism. I’m not interested in spending this whole article arguing about whether racism is still prevalent or if white Americans have more advantages than African Americans. If you don’t agree with me at this point, you either live under a rock, or you do not understand systemic oppression. In which case, you should probably take advantage of being in Louisiana’s largest intellectual hub and talk to a sociology professor in your spare time. Instead, I want to talk about empathy. A few weeks ago, south Louisiana experienced one of its worst natural disasters in recent history. Thousands of homes flooded,
and some people lost everything. We didn’t blame families for not having flood insurance or for living in an area of the country prone to flooding. We didn’t hoard our own goods, leaving our neighbors to fend for themselves. We donated. We volunteered. We helped our neighbors because, even though our homes were fine, we empathized with their situation. If we can empathize with people who lose their homes, then we should be able to feel for people who go through systemic oppression. Instead of writing Kaepernick off as an anti-American terrorist, listen to what he’s saying. Our country is supposed to be the beacon of freedom and hope, and patriotism is instilled deep in our culture. Someone isn’t going to disavow the National Anthem or American flag lightly. His experiences are valid, and we need to take time to listen to others more than we speak. We need to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, and we need to understand that our own experiences in America might not be the same as others.

Randy Jackson, Harry Connick Jr. host benefit concert for flood victims BY RAYKAEL MORRIS | @Raykael_Morris The night was filled with music, performances, laughter and support as native artist from all over came together to help and support Louisiana after the Great flood of 2016. The flood took 13 lives and 154,00 homes and left tens of thousands of people in need of help. “Louisiana Rising” was a concert created to benefit victims affected by the flood. It was hosted by
Baton Rouge native Randy Jackson and New Orleans native Harry Connick Jr. Many more local artists also came out to support the city. There were performances by Hunter Hayes, Aaron Neville, Rebirth Brass Band, and Luther Kent. Although unable to attend, Louisiana native entertainers such as Ellen Degeneres, Britney Spears, and Tim Mcgraw also made their presence felt
through video testimonials that played for those who were present. Many artists mentioned that they were moved by Louisiana’s courage and wanted to help the state in any way possible.

Woman’s basketball player showcases her love of fashion Athlete says image off the floor is a priority BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @semajatkinson Known for their street style, athletes influence everyday couture arguably more than Parisian elites. With her love of fashion, LSU women’s basketball guard Jenna Deemer is living proof. While some subscribe to the cliché of athletes throwing on
gym shorts and tennis shoes and calling it a day, Deemer plans to set the record straight by voicing her appreciation for fashion. “People expect me to wear Nike every day, and that isn’t true,” Deemer said. Crediting her mom as creating the “monster” that are her fashion obsession, Deemer said she remembers shopping at Limited Too for hours as a child Deemer said she always takes pride in looking up to par. Though her sense of style glimmers through her outfits, her
love for shoes isn’t far behind. Whether it is an all-white ensemble or jeans with a pair of Yeezys, she always dresses to impress. As a member of the women’s basketball team, Deemer said maintaining a respected image on and off the court remains one of her top priorities. “How we look off the court is just as important as on the court if you ask me, and I take pride in my appearance,” Deemer said. “We are a brand.”

Despite shortcomings, Clinton still preferable to Trump LYNNE YOU A HAND
LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 When Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, she vowed to beat Republican candidate Donald Trump and assured she would, like primary rival Bernie Sanders, put progressive issues “front and center, where they belong.” The crowd went wild, and in that moment, many seemed to forget their previous criticisms. However, her promises don’t match her track record. Clinton has a history of moderate and right-leaning ideals that do not align with her party. Although she is better than Trump, her status is no more than the lesser of two evils. As a young woman, Clinton was an active Young Republican and a “Goldwater Girl.” Former
U.S. senator Barry Goldwater was a staunch right-winger and co-authored the novel The Conscience of a Conservative. He also voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the same year he ran a losing presidential campaign, which Clinton supported. According to Clinton’s memoir Living History, she liked Goldwater because he “swam against the political tide,” — but his stance on segregation should have been a deal breaker. As she evolved into a Democrat, Clinton’s views did not completely transform with her. While more progressive liberals began to turn the tide on social and foreign policy issues, she treaded slowly behind. Clinton arrived late to the game on supporting same-sex marriage and medicinal marijuana legalization while backing the war in Iraq and military intervention in Afghanistan. In fact, she still shows many tendencies of a war hawk.
“Unexpectedly, in the bombastic, testosterone-fueled presidential election of 2016, Hillary Clinton is the last true hawk left in the race,” journalist Mark Landler said in a New York Times article adapted from his book Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle Over American Power. Landler’s characterization of Clinton is accurate, and there is good reason to worry about what foreign policy will look like if she’s elected. However, no matter how bad Clinton’s strategies might be, Trump’s would be far worse. Electing Clinton as president means our country could fall back to a more aggressive military than we have seen over the past eight years, but a Trump presidency brings a more complex issue to the table. While we know what to expect from Clinton, we have no idea what Trump will do if he becomes the most powerful man in the
world. We cannot trust Trump with control over the country’s diplomacy, military and weapons of mass destruction. Bernie Sanders has the right idea. Though his criticism of Clinton has been sharp, he still endorses Clinton in the runoff because she “must become the next president of the United States” over Trump. The only way to enact the change people want is to elect a president whose ideals advance said change. Clinton may be unexceptional on many issues, but it is important to not elect someone worse to prove a point. When the election rolls around, suck it up and vote for Clinton. Putting a man like Trump in the world’s highest office is irresponsible and selfish, and not voting or going third party only helps him. Clinton may only be the lesser of two evils, but do not forget who is the worse of the two. She may not be the best president or

Burkini ban reflects France’s narrow-mindedness, Islamophobia JORDANSWERS JORDAN MARCELL
@JordanCMarcell France recently made the decision to ban the burkini on public beaches across the nation. For those of you who don’t know what a burkini is, it’s a swimming garb worn by Muslim women who wish to uphold tradition while spending time at the beach. The swimwear covers the entire body except the face, feet and hands. France is no stranger to banning traditional Islamic attire. Within the past few years alone, several cities in the nation have passed bans on garments such as headscarves and other forms of
face coverings. To those who argue this law might not seem as though it’s aimed at one demographic, keep in mind that these policies were put in place in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo and Paris terrorist attacks of January and November of 2015. It has become all too obvious that the French government isn’t just playing fashion police, but rather rendering daily life difficult for a specific group. France has graciously given the world and the Islamic community explanations for its actions. They have exhausted every reason from “making security easier to maintain” to saying that they were “freeing women from the traditions of a patriarchal society.” But as the more recent
burkini ban shows us, these new policies are simply a physical manifestation of the mindset of Islamophobia. Consider this: this new policy comes after the attacks that occurred during the national French holiday of Bastille Day in the beachside city of Nice. If the burkini is banned, women who observe tradition won’t just throw on the nearest bikini and head out for a swim on the coast. In fact, they probably won’t be able to go to the beach at all. The French have essentially banned a significant portion of their society from its shores. This is no different from any of the internet videos of shop workers following minority customers throughout grocery stores in conservative parts of the United
States, for no other reason than suspicion based in prejudice. This fear that has France by the throat has truly altered its understanding of human rights. Even the fabricated explanation which the nation gives to justify its actions is no better than the truth itself. If France truly wanted to help women break the chains of a patriarchal society, making them do so by force would be the antithesis of this goal. What we see in France is simply another occurrence of a mindset all too popular in the world today. People see the Islamic faith as one of evil, sedition and murder because that is all they care to see. I don’t go around spitting at every Christian because of the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition because I am well

aware that those choice flashes of history do not represent the religion or its practitioners as a whole. Banning the burkini is a horrible choice and is no different from any other policy of segregation. It beats innocent people down and creates a sense of snobbery in those who have finally gotten “their” beaches back. Islam is a peaceful faith and preaches the same method of good living that Christianity does. To condemn these people as a result of the actions of a few is a crime.

TRE, from page 3 are what award voters across the nation want, that’s what they will get from White, who returned to college despite garnering a late first-round NFL draft grade, this season. First-year defensive coordinator Dave Aranda moved White from the outside to nickelback on the inside, where he has an expanded role and greater ability to impact the game in thrilling fashion. For junior safety Jamal Adams, who was named to CBS’ Preseason All-America First-Team, White was a perfect candidate for Aranda’s new role. “Tre is very unique, I have to say that,” Adams said of White’s defensive versatility. “He’s smart, he can sit in a hole and call coverages or be in the box [or] on the outside.” It didn’t take long for White to figure out his new position on Saturday. In fact, within less than a half of football, White was breaking up passes, thwarted a potential touchdown pass and earned rave reviews from ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay, who was taking in White’s transcendence from shut-down corner on the outside to playmaker in the nickel slot on the sidelines. With the Badgers knocking on
the door from LSU’s 12-yard line, White, lined up in the slot against senior wide receiver Robert Wheelwright, broke up a high pass to the 6-foot-3 receiver in the end zone, forcing a Wisconsin fourth down. “18 has been blanketing these receivers,” McShay said. “A lot of man-to-man coverage from LSU today, [and] Tre’Davious White has been over these guys. Could’ve been completed, but he was right there.” Although White was bestowed the No. 18 jersey by teammates, his performance on Saturday resembled moreso that which one would expect from the bearer of No. 7, notoriously worn by LSU’s home run hitter. Trailing 13-0 with 5:51 left in the third quarter and a stagnant offense, LSU’s defense was desperate for a momentum-shifting play that would bring the Tigers to life. There came White with the interception returned 21 yards for a touchdown. On the next possession, White swatted away a pass on a crossing pattern, earning play-by-play man Steve Levy’s praise, who said White had officially taken the game over. White’s playmaking prowess shouldn’t come as a surprise. Before focusing on keeping points off
the board for the Tigers, White’s prep role was quite different as he was tasked with the scoring for Green Oaks High School in Shreveport, Louisiana. Though his first two seasons at Green Oaks as a wide receiver proved fruitful, White transitioned to quarterback during his junior season while moonlighting as a dominant defensive back and special teams return man. White said his raw playmaking ability resulted in 72 touchdowns by the end of his high school career — not that he was counting. “I’m going to remember that,” White said. “I come from having the ball in my hands and making plays.” White’s first defensive touchdown on Saturday has only kick-started what he expects to be a season full of highlights. “Difference-making” plays, as he calls them. He said a variety of plays of the sort should be expected through the remainder of the season, specifically mentioning strip-sacks as a strong possibility. “[My role] is going to help me get around the ball more,” White said. “I’m trying to change the game and get a lot more turnovers. “I love the role that I’m in.”

LSU struggled to convert on third down, too, as it went 2-for-10 and gave the ball away to Wisconsin three times on two interceptions and one fumble. “In the first half, we couldn’t convert third downs on offense,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “[Wisconsin’s] defense played their behinds off. They played hard for four quarters.” While Miles didn’t say much about the offensive line’s physical play, he did note some plays where the offensive line missed assignments. “It seems to me that there were some guys that were not necessarily blocked,” Miles said. “I don’t know if it was a safety stepping down in there or not.” Senior center Ethan Pocic didn’t want to put the entire blame on a lack of execution — he said some plays were a result of miscommunication. “There were spots here and there where we weren’t all on the same page,” Pocic said.
and the guy that was doing the signaling did not have headphones,” Miles said. “We were communicating, and the guy with his headphones off did not get the signal because he wasn’t getting any feed.” Harris, the man receiving the signals, wasn’t all to blame, although he was a part of the issue due to his spotty passing accuracy, Miles said. Wisconsin continuously pressured Harris and junior tailback Leonard Fournette. Senior center Ethan Pocic agreed, blaming the offensive line for poor protection. “He’s Leonard, it’s on us. As the [offensive] line,” Pocic said “Everyone who is blocking has to execute.” Even with offensive line’s inconsistency, Fournette gained 138 yards on 23 carries, boosting his career total to 3,125 — the fourth most in program history. On Saturday, Fournette became the fastest Tiger to ever reach 3,000 or more career yards, which he did in 26 games.

NETFLIX AND TIME KILL BY SALIMATA FALL

@salimatalalaf
With Moodle’s resurgence and home football games just days away, this is the time of the semester when a night in sounds ideal. Whether taking a break from studying or partying, be sure to check out the new films and television series Netflix has to offer.
HEATHERS
STRANGER THINGS
THE GET DOWN
NARCOS
If the mood for a classic cult film strikes, try the 1989 film “Heathers.” After spending the first half of the film ogling the stunning Winona Ryder and eye-catching fashions, you’ll find your eyes glued to the screen for the second half of this dark flick as you watch a twisted version of Bonnie and Clyde meant for Brat Pack audiences.
If sci-fi is more your speed, check out the suspenseful Netflix Original Series “Stranger Things.” The first few minutes can captivate even the strongest of skeptics as you watch the story of a missing young boy unfold. Following the twists and turns, the audience witnesses the strength of friendship and family, the inner workings of government corruption and a mysterious unknown supernatural presence, called the “Upside Down.”
For something less heavy and more upbeat, start watching the new Netflix Original Series “The Get Down.” Funk and soul weave their ways through the story arc, and you may find yourself bopping and grooving as you watch the musical drama. Created by the legendary Baz Luhrmann and an award-winning team of hip hop extraordinaires, “The Get Down” follows a group of youngsters as they grow through their music and art in the 1970s while music was evolving into the early stages of hip hop.
Major cartels, drugs and violence come together in the popular Netflix Original Series “Narcos.” Based upon true events, the story of Colombia’s powerful drug cartels lights up the screen, emboldened by the grit of gangster lifestyle. Be prepared for plot twists galore in this vulgar yet exhilarating series.

VIDEO GAMES
Video game companies look to revamp successful scenes BY JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford As video games continue to cross age, gender and social barriers, many developers are remastering their games in the upcoming months in an attempt to capture new audiences. Whether you’re new to gaming or want to revel in some nostalgia, take a look at these remasters of some of the greatest games ever made, coming out soon. BioShock: The Collection Release date: September 13th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC BioShock (2007), BioShock 2 (2010) and BioShock Infinite (2013) have all been praised for their unique settings, fantastic storytelling and solid gameplay. The first two games in the series transport you to the
underwater ruins of Rapture, a failed utopia, as you learn its history and the tales of the creatures still dwelling there. In stark contrast, BioShock Infinite takes place in Columbia, a utopia city in the clouds led by the prophet Comstock, that embodies American Exceptionalism. However, all is not as it seems as you take control of Booker DeWitt, who has been sent to free a captive young woman. BioShock: The Collection bundles all three games and completely remasters both BioShock and BioShock 2. While BioShock Infinite will not receive a graphics upgrade, the three-year-old game still looks beautiful, and all three games will output at 1080p and 60 FPS. The entire catalog of DLC is also included, along with developer commentary and an interactive museum of concept art.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Release date: October 28th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC The fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls series was released in November of 2011 and was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions. With strong Nordic influences, the RPG whisks you away to Skyrim, a small nation in political turmoil as a rebellion aims to retake the land from the empire that rules it. By adding mod support directly on consoles, developer Bethesda hopes to transfer the game’s modding magic over to PlayStation and Xbox. Bethesda has already implemented something similar to this in Fallout 4, which hasn’t been met with great reception and is nowhere near the level of modding on PC.
However, the Skyrim modding community blew up to something never seen before and can still hold its own five years later. If only half that community takes an interest in console mods, we could see something special. Skyrim Special Edition will ship with updated graphics and all three DLC expansions. It has yet to be confirmed if other aspects of the game, such as animations, will receive a makeover. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered Release date: November 4th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare can be described as simply iconic. The 2007 first person shooter captured a new generation of video gamers, elevated the Call of Duty series to massive success
and, as of 2013, sold more than 15 million copies. The remastered edition includes the full single-player campaign and all 16 multiplayer maps. Despite some slight tweaks to menus and a full graphics overhaul, the overall feeling of the original game has been preserved. The grandfather of all modern-day online shooters takes place in the then-future year of 2011, when global political strife has reached a boiling point. However, the real fun comes from the online multiplayer game modes with the additions of perks, killstreaks and the prestige system. The game is included with the purchase of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition and is a digital download only, meaning if you are only interested in playing Call of Duty 4, you still have to pay the hefty $80 price.

Concert attendees Zach Tompkins and Lauren Lambert-Tompkins acknowledged that this concert is a great way to bring attention to what is happening in Louisiana. Zach noted that Louisiana needed some help getting national attention, and this concert was a great way to do that. Many first responders and local community members who helped out during the flood were also honored during the concert.
“It is great that they are honoring our first responders, because it shows that we really took care of ourselves, and that our first responders are amazing,” said Lauren Lambert-Tompkins Natasha Stricklend, who also attended the event, commended the local artists that performed at this show. She also mentioned that if she had the opportunity to speak to the acts, she would thank them and that say she was appreciative of the exposure. Both Jackson and Connick agreed that they will not give up their efforts to help flood victims in Louisiana, and that the state will always stand strong. In his testimonial, actor John Goodman said “Louisianians are resilient, but even the strongest communities can’t do it alone.”

LSU drops last match of Tiger Classic to Southern Mississippi BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR LSU dropped the final match of the Tiger Classic on Saturday against Southern Mississippi, losing in four sets. The loss resulted in the Tigers being swept in the tournament, but there were positives to take away from playing high-caliber teams, said sophomore setter Lindsay Flory. “We can definitely build on these games moving
forward,” Flory said. “The different looks these teams provided will help us prepare for conference play.” LSU played its first opponent — the University of Connecticut — on Friday, falling in three sets to the Huskies. The Tigers returned to action that evening to play the University of Virginia but lost in four sets in a hardfought game that featured 15 lead changes. Though LSU lost the first set,
the team rallied back to win the next two. The Tigers had the Cavaliers on the ropes in the fourth set, but Virginia took advantage of four-straight Tiger errors to push the match to a fifth and final set. The Tigers never found a rhythm in the fifth and final set, which gave the match to Virginia. “I thought we fought well and hard,” said LSU coach Fran Flory in a press release. “I thought we did that against Virginia, but we
didn’t play with any poise or confidence. We have a lot to overcome with our mentality and teaching. I’ve said it all along. We are a work in progress.” LSU junior hitter Gina Tillis had her third double-double of the season, with 16 kills and 18 digs against the Cavaliers. Junior defensive specialist Kelly Quinn finished day one with a career-high 26 digs, and senior middle blocker Tiara Gibson had two 10 kill performances in the first two games. According to Fran Flory,
the young players received good exposure, but the upperclassmen will have to step up in order to win games in the future. “At times, we lacked poise and confidence,” Flory said. “We needed to set the bar high, and I think this tournament helped us do that.” The Tigers will travel to Orlando, Florida, for the UCF Classic, which features the University of Seattle and Florida Atlantic.
