Rotary Club moves Global Community Day to campus BY ALLISON BRUHL @albruhl__ PHOTOS BY CAROLINE MAGEE

Countries from abroad joined together on campus Sunday afternoon as the Baton Rouge Capital City Rotary Club and the University’s International Programs displayed cultural exhibits and performances 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday in Parker Coliseum for Global Community Day. The free event celebrated its third year in a new location this year. Global Community Day moved from downtown in hopes of growing the number of guests, said Baton Rouge Capital City Rotary Club president Charles Landreneau. Global Community Day brought

in people representing China, Russia, Uganda, Panama and more, along with families and children from the Baton Rouge area to join in on the fun. “You know, if we can influence [children] in a positive way at such an early age, hopefully that will transcend throughout their life,” Landreneau said. Guests were given a “passport” with the mission to visit each country’s booth for a stamp. After filling the passport the guests could redeem it for a prize at the end of their journey around the world. Each country’s booth provided

facts, food and crafts. Some booths had articles of clothing or jewelry reflecting the country’s culture. A few booths accepted donations for areas suffering from disasters or third world issues. The Haitian booth accepted $10 donations to provide families with 350-500 gallons of clean drinking water. “We’re trying to promote unity and diffuse all the stuff you hear on the news because these are our neighbors,” Landreneau said. Landreneau said this was the first

Yale University’s Norma Thompson will be exploring the challenges and benefits of introducing a new generation to classic texts in her lecture “Can You Learn More From a Person or From a Book?” on Monday at 3:30 p.m. in the Grand Salon of the French House. Thompson’s lecture is the first of the Millennial Classics lecture series, which is co-sponsored by the Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College and Eric Voegelin Institute. Thompson is a senior lecturer at Yale University in humanities and associate director of the Whitney Humanities Center. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Bowdoin College and her Ph.D. in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. She is also the author of three books: “Herodotus and the Origins of the Political Community: Arion’s Leap;” “The Ship of State: Politics and Statecraft from Ancient Greece to Democratic America” and “ Unreasonable Doubt: Circumstantial Evidence and an Ordinary Murder in New Haven.” The objective of this year’s Millennial Classics is to discuss different ways to excite students about classical literature.

RESEARCH

Distinguished professor discusses possibility of life outside earth BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker Recent scientific advances have made discovering life on other planets outside our solar system a likely possibility. Chris Impey, a University Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, was the keynote speaker at the LSU Undergraduate Research Conference on Oct. 14. His talk,

“Water Worlds: The Search for Habitable Exoplanets,” detailed the probability of finding life elsewhere in the universe. To find life on distant planets, scientists use spectroscopy to analyze light. The light’s wavelengths reflect the world’s physical properties, like which gases make up the planet’s atmosphere and if biomarkers are present. Scientists are looking for a few things when determining the likelihood of life:

within the habitable zone water, oxygen and ozone. of a star, meaning within “Within five to 10 an appropriate distance years, you will hear the where liquid water can announcement of life beyond Earth, and it will form and remain liquid. be by this method on an Although there is no Earth-like exoplanet,” direct evidence of life Impey said. existing on other planets, Once an exoplanet Impey said he is confiIMPEY dent of the possibility due is discovered, scientists attempt to characterize it to de- to a number of factors that favor termine if life can be sustained a microorganism’s ability to surthere.

on Earth to withstand extreme conditions shows that if life could thrive here, before the Earth was fully formed, it could exist elsewhere in similar conditions. Life began on Earth almost as soon as one imagines — about four billion years ago, when the planet was a heavily volcanic world. The places where life could be are abundant, Impey said.

THOMPSON, from page 1 In a news release, Ogden Honors College Dean Jonathan Earle expressed his gratitude for Thompson being the first to speak in the Millennial Classics. “It’s a privilege to kick off this series with a scholar who teaches in a program that, like the Honors College, provides a community in the midst of a large research university — a place where students can find the intellectual footing to allow them to take advantage of all the larger university has to offer,” Earle said in the release. According to a news release, the Honors College provides its students with challenging curriculum that includes seminar classes, undergraduate research and an honors thesis.

EXOPLANETS, from page 1 “We think of the solar system as being the Earth and that’s it, but in the true inventory of possible habitability in locations, it’s actually a much larger thing than that,” he said. Today, there are nearly 3,400 confirmed exoplanets. According to a simulation of inventory of water on terrestrial planets, most of them have more liquid water than Earth. People are limited in thinking of Earth as the only planet containing water, and therefore, life, Impey said. “Earth as a water world is

The Honors College concentrates on community service, study abroad, internships and independent research. James Stoner, an LSU political science professor and the director of the Voegelin Institute, knows first hand how many students may feel about classical literature. “When in college, I first read what were then called ‘Great Books.’ I expected stuffy recitation of tired ideas,” Stoner said in the release. “Instead, I found vibrant inquiry that challenged everything I took for granted. Nobody likes all the classics, and it sometimes takes hard work to crack them open, but they have proven a sure antidote against complacency and conformity, at least among those open-minded enough to read and reflect.”

The Eric Voegelin Institute is located in the Department of Political Science. It is a humanities and social sciences institute committed to helping students understand classical books of the Western civilization in new ways. As part of the series, Princeton University’s Anthony Grafton will speak on Jan. 30, and Catholic University of America’s Michael Pakaluk on March 31. The Voegelin Institute will sponsor student reading groups, which will provide free books to students to promote reading outside of class. The books include Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations,” Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto,” John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty” and Aristotle’s “Ethics.”

simply not special,” he said. To find an exoplanet, scientists observe the planet’s host star and use doppler measurements of the star to look for a periodic wobble. Since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995, there’s been an “unprecedented rate of progress in detection limit,” which is due to the instrumentation and experimental design of equipment, Impey said. Scientists went from finding a handful of exoplanets to over 1,000 habitable planets. Since the Kepler mission was launched in 2008, it has discovered thousands of previously unknown exoplanets. Kepler finds

Earth-like transmitting planets by finding sun-like stars. Scientists formulate the number of possible civilizations using the Drake Equation, which estimates the odds of finding intelligent life in the universe. The equation requires seven factors for computation, and the only one scientists remain unsure of is the biology, or how many planets have environments that could support life. “I’m not going to take it as a given that life exists elsewhere, I’m just going to take it as a statistically probable statement,” Impey said.

GLOBAL COMMUNITY, from page 1 year the Rotary Club was solely responsible for the event. The city was formerly a co-sponsor but backed out for budgetary reasons. The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana attended the festivities as a title sponsor, giving support and funding. Its team members volunteered to give back to the community. “What we’re really trying to do here is to just promote unity with all the different countries that are represented,” Landreneau said. “Until we started this, I had no earthly idea we had this many countries represented right here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

DEFENSE

When the Tigers took the field Saturday, everything seemed a little flat. The offense struggled to move the ball. The defense got roughed up. Silly mistakes and mental lapses popped up time and time again. The showing was eerily similar to that in the Wisconsin, Auburn and Mississippi State games. The team turned it around after the midway point, scoring five touchdowns after halftime. And if you’re an LSU fan, you hope the Southern Miss game is foreshadowing the rest of the season. Before the coaching change from Les Miles to interim coach Ed Orgeron, LSU’s offense struggled. The Tigers averaged 191.8 yards on the ground, 147.8 yards through the air and scored 21 points per game. Their performances, even the one against Jacksonville State, were flat. But with Coach O came some new life. In the two games since he took the helm, the Tigers have averaged around 300 yards rushing, 246 passing yards and 43.5 points per game. Sure, Missouri and Southern Miss aren’t exactly great standards, but the improvement is difficult to deny. But will the improvement be enough? The Tigers are moving into the meat of their schedule. With the remaining schedule consisting of No. 23 Ole Miss, No. 1 Alabama, No. 17 Arkansas, No. 15 Florida and No. 6 Texas A&M, LSU’s offense will have to raise the bar. All of this begins with Ole Miss at 8 p.m. Saturday at Tiger Stadium. “I’m sure that Ole Miss is going to be ready to play,” Orgeron said after the Southern Miss game. “It’s going to be a classic battle.”

Total: 5th Scoring: 8th Pass: 46th (210.1 yards allowed per game) Rush: 1st (63.9 yards allowed per game)

THURSDAY, NOV. 24 @ TEXAS A&M DEFENSE

Total: 98th Scoring: 22nd Pass: 109th (278.2 yards allowed per game) Rush: 68th (159.3 yards allowed per game)

LSU DEFENSE

Total: 13th Scoring: 4th Pass: 44th (208.3 yards allowed per game) Rush: 11th (103.7 yards allowed per game) The Rebels have the potential to burn LSU. While LSU is fourth in the NCAA in scoring defense with as few as six allowed touchdowns all season, Ole Miss is in the top 20 for passing offense and scoring offense. It may be ridiculous to expect LSU will continue its streak of not allowing multiple touchdowns in a game into next week. My take: Not going to happen. Expect to see something similar to last season’s game. LSU will struggle to establish the run and will not be able to develop its play action game. If that happens, junior quarterback Danny Etling and the receivers are not going to get anything going and LSU’s offense will be sludge against No. 1 Alabama, again. LSU’s secondary should be able to give the Razorbacks’ junior quarterback Austin Allen trouble, though he will find ways to move the ball downfield. The Tiger defense should be able to limit Arkansas’ scoring, which should allow LSU’s offense to go full nose to the grindstone — that ground-and-pound style we all know and love. The gameplan for LSU’s upcoming scheduled game against the Gators will be similar to that against Alabama, but there is a little more hope in this matchup. LSU might get more going against Florida’s softer run defense, which could put Etling in more favorable situations. If LSU’s offensive line is healthy, the running backs should be able to find enough room to keep LSU in the game. Even more so than the potent Aggie offense, Kyle Field will give LSU some trouble. The TAMU defense is lackluster, but its offense has the ability to turn the game into a shootout. As good as LSU’s receivers are, and as much as Etling has improved, Kyle Field might still prove to be too much to handle for an offense prone to making silly mistakes.

Tigers defense put to test in Southern Miss matchup Beckwith, Adams lead LSU in tackles

BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU defensive line coach Pete Jenkins was “chewing” offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger’s “butt.” Tied with 10 points each at halftime, LSU (4-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) was initially sluggish on offense, and its defense allowed a touchdown in the first quarter for the first time this season. The Golden Eagles (4-3, 2-1 Conference USA) outgained LSU in total offense 135 to 121 in the first half and had nine first downs. Then, Ensminger “let it rip,” LSU’s players said of the

offense’s 28 unanswered points in the third quarter — continuously forcing LSU’s defense back on the field after quick scores. “I said, ‘Hold up, Pete. Don’t worry about it. It’s okay,’” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “Yeah, we’re going to have to have some ball control to keep the ball away from them and have some longer drives.” LSU’s defense was on the field for nearly 38 of Saturday’s 60 minutes and allowed 242 total yards. After sophomore running back Derrius Guice scored a 61yard touchdown, LSU’s defense jogged back onto the field with a seven-point lead and a fired-up group of defenders, ready to get

Back in the polls: Tigers No. 25 in AP, No. 23 in Coaches Poll BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ LSU’s consecutive wins against Missouri, 42-7, and Southern Miss, 45-10, bumped the Tigers back into the polls Sunday. In the weekly release of the Associated Press’ top 25, LSU shifted from multiple unranked

weeks to No. 25. The Tigers (4-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) also jumped from No. 25 to No. 23 in the Amway Coaches Poll. After a last-second, five-point loss at Auburn on Sept. 24, LSU dropped out of the AP top 25 and has returned 21 days later. Because of Hurricane

Matthew, the Tigers did not meet then-No. 18 Florida on Oct. 8, leaving them in the same unranked position they were in in Week 6’s AP Poll. LSU, without the game, checked in at No. 25 in the Amway Coaches Poll. The Tigers have ranked as high as fifth in the AP Poll before their season-opening loss to

Wisconsin on Sept. 3. LSU began the season fifth, moved to No. 21, then to No. 20 and up as high as No. 18 before losing to Auburn and being knocked out of the top 25 for three weeks until Sunday. It was the first time since 2008 the Tigers were left out of the AP Poll for three-consecutive

weeks, since 2008 when LSU was unranked for the last four weeks of the season. Ole Miss, LSU’s next opponent at 8 p.m. at Tiger Stadium, checks in at No. 22 in the coaches poll — one spot ahead of the Tigers. The Rebels are No. 23 in the AP poll after their 34-30 loss against Arkansas Saturday.

LSU needs Mike VII to continue distinctive University tradition MYIA-PINION MYIA HAMBRICK

@MyiaChristine

The University’s live mascot, Mike VI, was humanely euthanized last Tuesday after months of battling a rare form of cancer. With his death comes the obvious question: Are we going to have a Mike VII? Some are against the idea. I mean, we keep a notoriously wild animal in an enclosure on a college campus. At face value, I can respect that it seems extremely inhumane. Organizations like PETA have spoken out, urging school officials to let Mike VI be the last live tiger on campus. But the University needs a live mascot. Mike the Tiger is not just a live animal — he is an icon and an institution. This animal is what makes the University unique. He draws children and adults alike with wide-eyed excitement to his habitat across from Tiger Stadium every day. A school mascot gives an identity to students and the community. The mascot is important in keeping spirits high. Yes, we could get rid of the live tiger and only have the Mike student mascots on gameday, but we would lose the constant reminder of what it means to be a Tiger and what it means to attend the University. The University is known for its overthe-top fanbase, loud stadium and live tiger mascot. Without the tiger, campus would not be the same. In fact, the tigers we have housed have lived as long as 17 years. The average age for a tiger to survive in the wild is about 10 to 15 years. Not to mention, the Mike the Tiger lives in a 15,000 square foot enclosure he has all to himself. Mike is never forced to parade around the stadium in his cage. His caretakers attempt to coax him into the cage, but if he does not want to go, he doesn’t. The only thing he is forced into is being a spoiled tiger on a campus full of adoring fans in a community of people who have come together behind the image and idea of Mike the Tiger. I felt as if I knew Mike on a personal

level. From the moment I stepped on campus and saw him playing in his habitat, I knew he was more than just a tiger. LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker said the University is looking for the donation of a young male tiger cub from a sanctuary or rescue. This is a good thing, considering tigers are endangered. Why not provide a tiger with a great life? Perhaps those who say we shouldn’t get another live tiger haven’t taken everything into consideration. The situation seems vile, but after considering all the factors that go into finding a tiger—his quality of life while on campus, and the importance of a mascot we can all rally behind—I don’t see how anyone can be against it. Bottom line: We need Mike VII. Myia Hambrick is a 21-year-old Mass Communications major from Temple, Georgia.

It may be time to retire the Mike the Tiger tradition MY BLACK IS MY BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS @ClarkePerkins Last week, LSU fans had an emotional few days after the death of the University’s beloved mascot, Mike VI. Earlier this month, the University announced Mike’s battle with cancer would soon come to an end. His veterinarian Dr. David Baker warned everyone the tiger had one to two months to live. People were shocked and saddened that less than two weeks after the announcement Mike was euthanized. Many students grew to love and adore Mike. He received many visitors from near and far — people that came to visit campus and students that would pay him a quick visit on their way to class.

Editorial Policies and Procedures

Having a live mascot is a University tradition unique to our campus. Caging one of the fiercest felines that lives steps away from the PMAC and Tiger Stadium makes bringing opponents to our home even more exciting. It gives students a sense of pride and joy. Mike the Tiger has been an LSU tradition since Oct. 21, 1936. Most alumni don’t know the University without the tiger. This is an incredibly hard loss, especially as we prepare to play Ole Miss, Alabama and Florida. Passing by Mike’s empty habitat will be emotional, but maybe it’s best it stays empty. It’s hard to imagine the University without Mike the Tiger, but it’s an option that needs to be thought out thoroughly and answered, with all emotions put aside. There’s already a petition going around with more than 100,000 signatures to make Mike VI the University’s final live mascot. People, including myself, want another Mike because of the tradition and pride he brings to the university. However, PETA’s message to the University makes me think maybe we’re being selfish. “This sad day could mark a kind new beginning for LSU, where sensitive, intelligent tigers have been reduced to game-day props for decades,” PETA said in response to the death of Mike. Although Mike is much more than a gameday prop, they have a point. I’m no expert, but it seems cruel to keep an animal on a college campus. The message concluded with, “PETA is calling on the university to honor Mike VI’s legacy by making him the last live mascot to be locked up in captivity and paraded around an unruly stadium. The last thing LSU should do is condemn yet another tiger to a lifetime of exploitation.” It’s hard not to take into consideration the message of an organization whose name stands for “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.” Maybe it’s time to put our feelings and personal satisfactions aside and put the actual animal into consideration. The opinion of people against the continuance of the live tiger tradition may not matter anyway, as the University is already searching for Mike VII. However, it’s still something to think about — do you believe it’s best for the University to obtain another tiger that will be kept in lifelong captivity?

Sixth annual LSU 100 event honors fastest-growing Tiger businesses BY SCOTT GRISWOLD @Griswold_ii The University’s 100 fastest growing businesses, including Tin Roof Brewing Company, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and Investar Bank, gathered under one roof Thursday at L’Auberge Casino Hotel for the sixth annual LSU 100 event. LSU 100 is an event that recognizes the 100 fastest-growing Tiger-owned businesses. Every year, LSU 100 gives out the Summit Award to the company that generated the highest revenue amount during the award period. The event also recognizes the fastest-growing

company and the winners of the 2016 Venture Challenge. The 2016 Summit Award recipient was Bridger Logistics, LLC. Julio Rios, president and CEO of Bridger Logistics, is a graduate of the LSU College of Science. Recruiting Source International was announced as the fastest growing company of the year, according to a news release. Bianca McWilliams Jackson, a chemical engineering graduate of the LSU College of Science, serves as the company’s Chief Operating Officer. Brothers Reed and Riley Stephens, the winners of the 2016 Venture Challenge, were

recognized for having the fastest-growing undergraduateowned business. Reed and Riley, a junior and freshman respectively, are the founders of Ambici, a product design company that sells luxury wooden watches. The brothers said their idea was born out of a passion for both fine watches and wooden craftsmanship, according to the company’s website. Reed said the brothers’ time at the University is proving to be a huge part of creating and running the business. “We use the tools that I learned in Engineering classes, particularly CM 1020,” Reed said. “I use the program

SolidWorks all the time for any type of design or anything like that. That’s how we communicate with our manufacturers, that’s how we communicate with any type of a buyer, that’s how we show proof of design, all these types of things. Learning that program was pretty instrumental to making our products and communicating with overseas manufacturers.” Riley said he has been learning coding in his computer science classes. With his knowledge, he can “do things on our website where I have to go in and actually edit HTML code, and try to change things up for us.” Other programs, such as the LSU

Student Incubator, have helped the Stephens brothers propel their business to where it is today. “I’ve been taking a ton of business classes,” Reed said. “Some of those introduced us to the Student Incubator. They’ve helped out tremendously, and they’ve done a lot of things to help us with our business. Participating in the Venture Challenge forced us to create a working business model and get everything straight.” Out of the 100 companies, 44 of them were founded within the last 10 years. The newest companies were founded as recently as 2011. Nine of the 100 companies have been awarded at all six events.

page 8 DEFENSE, from page 3 “back to their style of defense.” Junior safety Jamal Adams reciprocated the energy from offense to defense by forcing a strip fumble, leading LSU’s offense with solid field position. “Me and Jamal talk all the time. We say we have to turn our defense into offense,” senior

cornerback Tre’Davious White said. “We have to steal possession as much we can put the offense into a short field, and we’re going to capitalize.” LSU outscored Southern Miss 35-0 in the second half, holding Southern Miss to 107 yards of offense. Senior linebacker Kendell Beckwith led the Tigers with

a career-high 15 tackles, and Adams was second with 11. “I just wanted to rally the guys back and play LSU football,” Adams said. “We can’t do that against teams we’re about to play now.” Without senior safety Rickey Jefferson, junior safety John

Battle took the reigns as the starting free safety. Battle, who had four tackles in the victory, said he wasn’t nervous about his first career start. “He didn’t give up any deep balls,” Orgeron said. “Obviously we’ve got to watch the film, but he didn’t hurt us in any way. We
