Native Texas business City Surf, located in New Orleans, offers alternative exercises that involve surfing techniques.

City Surf Fitness offers surfing-based, personalized workout routines BY SALIMATA FALL | @salimatalalaf

Hidden within the hustle and bustle of Magazine Street, City Surf Fitness, a modern, white building sandwiched in the hub of New Orleans, could easily be overlooked. Since it opened in late 2015, the yoga-surf studio has become a favorite of LSU Health New Orleans students who call the Crescent City home. Becky Hardin, who owns the New Orleans location, said she

Through the LSU Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, students have an opportunity to study natural disasters like the recent flooding to prevent future ones, said Louisiana Sea Grant College Program executive director Robert Twilley, an oceanography and coastal sciences professor. Twilley said the University offers a course called ecosystem design created to gather a variety of students ranging from architects to engineers to begin thinking about how to live with natural disasters in the Mississippi Delta, the seventh largest delta in the world. Barry Keim, a geography professor and Louisiana State Climatologist, referred to the flood as an infant hurricane. The low winds of 38 mph kept the storm from developing into a tropical storm.

STUDENT LIFE

Senior’s childhood nightmares inspire photography exhibit BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ Studio art senior Miriam Buckner opened her photography exhibit in the University’s Art Building on Aug. 22. Buckner’s exhibit, entitled Somnium, is featured in Gallery 229 and includes a series of chemically degraded photographs in a monochromatic scheme. The conceptual work featured in the exhibit was drawn from her childhood dreams about chemical plant leaks. “I grew up nearby in Plaqumine, Louisiana,” Buckner said. “Where I grew up, there are a

lot of chemical plants really close by … so I think that’s what caused me to have these nightmares.” Throughout her childhood, Buckner found inspiration by looking at fashion photography and its conceptuality. Additionally, her mother was a children’s book illustrator, which peaked her interest in narratives. Buckner said photography has allowed her to interpret narratives in her work more realistically. These narratives can be seen throughout her exhibit. The pieces displayed in the exhibit depict people who are drained of color,

FLOOD IMPACT from page 1 Keim said Baton Rouge experienced a 100-year event with the flood waters reaching 14.5 inches. The minimum to be considered a 100-year event is 14.2 inches. The federal government declared 20 parishes disaster areas, including East Baton Rouge, Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa. By having students fix the problem here, Twilley said a solution can be found for areas affected by water around the rest of the world. There are four research groups on campus. Twilley said the students are working on hazard mitigation in the Mississippi River Delta. University professors involved in the research groups include Craig Colten in the Department of Geography and Anthropology, Nina Lam and Margaret Reams in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Coastal Sustainability Studio Director Jeff Carney, Center for River Studies Director Clint Willson and Sea Grant Law and Policy Program Director

Jim Wilkins. These professors conduct research with students on many aspects of flooding, such as hazard mitigation and migration patterns, designing buildings to withstand flood conditions and analyzing river and upland flooding issues. “It is a very integrated research community here at LSU that is addressing a very complex and serious problem for all deltas around the world,” Twilley said. “And we all have graduate and undergraduate students delving into specific questions to solve these problems.” With a location close to the Gulf of Mexico and a history of natural disasters, the University is one of the top schools in the country to learn how to live with water, Twilley said. He has noticed that students who take a particular interest have lived through the disasters of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ivan. He said the personal connection made a lasting impression on students to make a change. “Our students know it because they lived it,” Twilley said.

CITY SURF, from page 1 has the exclusive right of running the only City Surf that can operate in the state. With regimens including push-ups, crunches and cycling, the fitness studio distinguishes itself through its personalized approach to workouts. “Anything you can do on a mat, you can do on a board,” Hardin said. A couple years ago, Hardin’s friend explored the concept of a fitness studio with routines based entirely on the utilization of a surfboard. Thus, City Surf was born. After originally opening in Dallas, Texas, the small startup business has since stretched to five locations in just three years. While walking down Magazine Street, psychology sophomore Kyla Granger said she stumbled through City Surf’s doors. From that moment forward, she was hooked. “Every time I am in NOLA, I always schedule me a class,” Granger said. Though she was surprised by the strength required for certain surfboard movements, Granger said her workouts are worthwhile. The studio offers six classes with an array of options to fit individual needs, including cardio, strength, yoga and barre lessons. Though challenging, Hardin, who teaches exercise classes, said the classes become progressively easier with practice. “[It’s] everything you’ve seen

While the studio serves many college students and young professionals, Hardin said “all walks of life” come through the door. For those looking for a change of scenery from the traditional gym, Hardin said City Surf offers an ideal atmosphere. With only 14 boards available for class, she recommends pre-registration. “It’s just kind of fun. It makes it feel like you’re not really working out,” Hardin said. “You’re bouncing on the board doing kind of crazy stuff.”

Tiger volleyball embraces new team motto BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR For the LSU volleyball team, being a family has a different meaning. LSU’s players have fun together, and their bond helps their performance on the court. The team’s new motto, “All set, All emotion, All attack,” represents the relationships they have formed. LSU associate head coach Jill Lytle Wilson said LSU’s Creative Services Department developed the idea to be able to interchange words to pair with the word “All.” It allows teammates to insert what they are “all” representing as student athletes — all dedicated, all determined, all caring and so on. “They wanted to have something that could have kind of fit our entire athletic department, but where we could have our own individual philosophies and [put] our own words into the ‘all,’” Wilson said. The Tigers have also taken on the words “All for Louisiana.” “With the flooding that happened last week, we’re all for Louisiana right now,” Wilson said. “We always were but it’s even more now. It’s even more important to these young kids, a lot of freshman on the team, to understand who we play for.” The theme changes every season as the team does too. Last season’s motto was “What’s your why?” It encouraged the Tigers to figure out what their purposes were as student athletes. “Why we do what we do? Why we play the sport?

WOMEN’S GOLF

Bahnsen reflects on time at LSU as student athlete, head coach Bahnsen enters 32nd season as LSU’s coach BY CHRIS CALDARERA @caldarera11 After thirty-two years, LSU women’s golf coach Karen Bahnsen remains loyal to her team. Under Bahnsen’s leadership, the Tigers have appeared in 21 NCAA regionals and 12 NCAA championship tournaments, with two third place appearances in 2011 and 2012. The Tigers also boast 39 team

tournament titles with Bahnsen at the helm. But Bahnsen’s path to becoming a household name in the LSU golf program had an unlikely beginning. She first teed off as an 8-year-old in her hometown of Mobile, Alabama. She credits her mother, four-time Alabama state women’s golf champion and Mobile Sports Hall of Fame inductee June Buckholtz-Mayson, for piquing her interest in the sport. As her golf skills progressed, she was given opportunities to play in tournaments

with her mother, an experience Bahnsen said she relished while reminiscing on Tuesday. Her competitive spirit led to success at the next level. “My drive to get better helped me grow as a player in high school,” Bahnsen said. By her senior year, she was an All-American and the 1979 High School National Champion. The University of Alabama and Auburn University women’s golf offered her scholarships to join their programs, respectively. Bahnsen said she also showed interest

in the Universities of Miami and Florida. But there was one school that caught Bahnsen’s attention. In 1980, LSU had only recently started its golf program. In fact, Bahnsen was the first women’s golf team recruit in program history. To Bahnsen, LSU showed a lot of dedication to a program entering its first year, which made the Tigers stand out from the rest. “I wanted to try something different,” Bahnsen said. While at LSU, Bahnsen competed in the 1980 and

1981 AIAW Tournaments — the women’s equivalent to the NCAA before women were allowed to compete in the NCAA tournaments. She also competed in the 1982 NCAA Tournament, which was the first year women were integrated into the association. Bahnsen’s decision to choose Baton Rouge affected her family life, too. During her time in school, she met her husband — now LSU Senior Associate Athletic

SATIRE

Clinton emails reveal plot to kidnap Trump in Mexico HARP ON IT JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin On Wednesday, WikiLeaks published a cache of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign revealing a plan to abduct Republican rival Donald Trump during his visit to Mexico. The email, sent from a staffer to longtime Clinton aide and recent single lady Huma Abedin, said, “After the acquisition of the target, we will use El Chapo’s network of tunnels to smuggle him into a desolate prison.” Abedin responded to the email, detailing plans for a rescue operation for Trump that highlighted Clinton’s extensive foreign policy experience. “It’s important we make sure her schedule is clear to negotiate Trump’s release,” Abedin wrote. “As of now, I see she has a pantsuit fitting and a nap scheduled on that day. Can we push back the negotiations?” Further along in the email exchange, the two had a discussion about whether they should also abduct conservative news pundit Tomi Lahren. Abedin decided against it, writing, “I’m afraid Mexico may interpret us bringing Lahren to their country as an act of war.” In response to the ploy, the Trump campaign reiterated that its ongoing accusations about Clinton’s character

are valid. “I’ve been telling the American people that Hillary’s as crooked as infamous Mexican villain, Catalina Creel,” Trump said in a statement. “She probably wears an eyepatch and cackles!” The leaked emails raised security concerns for Trump’s safety as he travels to Mexico to discuss the plot of his favorite telenovela with President Enrique Peña Nieto. The Secret Service tweeted, “Don’t worry. We upped Trump’s security team of two

interns to three.” The leaked cache also contains numerous emails regarding Clinton’s personal interests, including Netflix recommendations, coupons for Talbots and an email from Apple confirming a purchase of Drake’s hit album “Views.” The Clinton campaign responded to the leak by issuing a statement defending Clinton’s privacy. “Secretary Clinton is an American citizen and is entitled to certain unalienable rights, such as privacy,” the

statement said. “Her privacy has been violated. The public didn’t need to know she bingewatched the latest season of ‘House of Cards.’” The statement also defended her email subscription to World Star Hip Hop, a prominent music news source. “What can we say? She’s a woman of the people, and that new Frank Ocean album is lit,” the statement said. John Gavin Harp is a 21-yearold mass communication senior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.

Thursday, September 1, 2016 ALL IN, from page 3 Why we practice every day? Why we excel at school?” sophomore defensive specialist Katie Kampen explained. “It was just your motivation behind what you do.”

Kampen said the two themes work with each other. “All set, All emotion, All attack” helps the teammates understand why they strive to succeed, on and off the court. Each Tiger has adopted the

motto and mindset, while also incorporating different words that resonate with them. LSU volleyball tweeted that sophomore Toni Rodriguez is “All Ready.” “I’m all ready because I’m ready to be back on the court with my teammates, and I’m ready to win an SEC championship,” Rodriguez said. Junior defensive specialist Kelly Quinn is “All Work,” another tweet read. “I am all work because I believe the more work you put into something, the more that the team

will get out of it,” Quinn said. Junior outside hitter Gina Tillis is “All Faith,” another tweet read. “I am all faith. I have faith in my teammates [and] LSU, and I’ll always have faith in my family and God,” Tillis said. Kampen said the new motto works well with who the team is. “We all have our own individual things that we’re all in for, but I think the biggest thing the motto represents is being invested and being 100 percent committed to everything we’re doing,” Kampen said.

The LSU women’s volleyball team is ready to “Win for LSU” with the new season on the horizon.

BAHNSEN, from page 3 Director David “Bo” Bahnsen — and has since raised two children in the purple and gold family. When her eligibility as a player ended in 1983, thencoach Buddy Alexander offered Bahnsen the women’s head coaching job for the 1984 season. She hasn’t looked back since. The ideas of family and humility also lie at the center of her program’s success. “I treat my golfers like they’re my own daughters,” Bahnsen said. But she said she also wants her girls to see the big picture. “I want them to know that there is more to life than just golf,” Bahnsen said. Bahnsen also understands that while she is a teacher of the game, she is still a student. “Every year, I have the mindset that I don’t know it all,” Bahnsen said. “I try to grow with the game and stay current, but I’m still learning too.”
