Les Miles suggests Danny Etling will start against Mississippi State, Leonard Fournette is ‘full speed ahead’ after practicing Wednesday STORY BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_

LSU coach Les Miles said he wanted to keep LSU’s starting quarterback decision “in house” this week against Mississippi State. After a short two-minute stint of cell phone difficulties, Miles hopped on the Southeastern Conference’s coaches’ weekly teleconference call on Wednesday morning and was asked who he plans on starting at quarterback against the Bulldogs. “We’re going to keep that in house if you don’t mind,” the coach answered. The decision stayed “in house” for nearly eight seconds. Miles essentially implied redshirt junior Danny Etling will start on Saturday. “I can’t imagine that Danny Etling won’t take the first snaps, but we’re going to let this week play out,” he said. On Wednesday afternoon during his weekly post-practice

Central native recounts community rescues with Cajun Navy
BY HUNTER LOVELL @hunter_lovell23 The water was rising fast. Luke LeBas knew he needed to get out. On the morning of Saturday, Aug. 13, LeBas gathered his family members, grabbed what few possessions he could find and drove to his brother-inlaw’s house a mile down the road. Knowing they would be safe on higher ground, LeBas went back to his house to get his boat. When he left, he knew there was no going back. “We just had to let it go,” LeBas said. “We knew we were
safe. My kids were safe. My wife was safe. You know, a house is a house, but you can’t replace a family.” As he contemplated starting his boat up, a man came over and asked him to rescue his daughter, who was handicapped. The water had risen from just a few inches to more than 2 feet on the road within the hour. Time was of the essence. But 2 feet of water was still too shallow to start the motor. With the help of several neighbors, LeBas was able to put the girl and her caretakers in the boat and push it to safety. When he came back to the
neighborhood, he had a line of people waiting to be rescued from their homes. “I’m guessing we took out 40 or 50 people,” LeBas said. LeBas is just one of a few hundred volunteers who made rescues during the historic flooding of South Louisiana a month ago. These rescuers, dubbed the “Cajun Navy,” came from all across the state to help trapped people. Many stores in the Baton Rouge area began selling “Cajun Navy” apparel after the flooding, including Bengals and Bandits

QUARTERBACKS, from page 1 press conference, Miles reiterated the sentiment. “We’re going to watch and let things unfold. I would guess that Danny would take the first snap,” he said. “He’s practicing hard. He looks good. He’s doing things that he should be doing.” Etling replaced junior quarterback Brandon Harris in the second quarter on Saturday against Jacksonville State, adding 100 passing yards and a touchdown in the quarter. Miles did refrain from naming an
FLOOD, from page 1 near LSU, which had T-shirts honoring the rescuers. The rescuers came from ordinary walks of life and some were paired with total strangers. LeBas said he worked with a man he had never met. “Somebody actually came from Brusly, [Louisiana]” LeBas said. “He crossed the river, somehow got all the way to [Central], and that individual ended up helping me the whole day.” These volunteers worked from dusk until dawn and helped rescue over 20,000 trapped residents. In Central, LeBas said he had to coordinate with other rescuers because the roads had become impassable. He had to drop people off at certain high points and lead them to the next boat for pickup. As nightfall approached, LeBas decided to call off any more rescue attempts. But he found
official starter though. He said LSU has “visited” with Harris this week. “We’ve visited him and we think he understands his role,” Miles said. No matter the quarterback, Miles says LSU will not adjust its offense to fit either quarterback specifically. Miles said LSU’s offense will be the same no matter who the quarterback is. “No, we’re not going to change our gameplan,” he said during his weekly “Les Miles Show” radio show at TJ
himself in trouble as the flood waters continued to rise. “We parked the boat and we had to be rescued because we were still stuck on Planchet Road,” LeBas said. “So we had to wait in the dark until another boat was able to come and get us.” LeBas was rescued later that night. When he visited his house for the first time after the flood, he said the water level was three feet high inside. No furniture or clothes were saved. Like other Cajun Navy volunteers, LeBas was glad to have rescued the number of people he did. He knew if he had not gone out to save people, they would have been trapped. LeBas grew up around boats his entire life. He was more concerned with the safety of the people he rescued. He said one child told him that he had never been in a boat before. “I just kind of smiled and
Ribs Wednesday night. “It’ll be the same no matter who the QB is.” LEONARD FOURNETTE ‘EXPECTED’ TO PLAY SATURDAY Miles said he would expect tailback Leonard Fournette to play on Saturday, without officially saying Fournette is good to go. “He continues to get better, and we really want to wait until he’s 100 percent,” Miles said. “And he’s really closing in on that right now. We expect that we may have him for Saturday.”
said, ‘Well, this is a tough place for your first ride, but we’ll get you out,’” LeBas said. Some Cajun Navy volunteers are concerned about Republican state Sen. Jonathan Perry’s proposed legislation that would require volunteers to be trained and certified before going to make rescue attempts. Perry made his case in an interview with News Talk 96.5 KPEL in Lafayette, Louisiana. “At the end of the day, there are going to be two things that are going to be the hurdle when you approach it, from the state’s standpoint,” Perry said. “Liability is going to be number one for them. They don’t want the liability of someone going out to rescue someone and then not being able to find them, and secondly, there’s a cost.” The senator faced criticism from several Cajun Navy volunteers after his comments. He later posted a Facebook video
During the afternoon presser, Miles said Fournette had a “full practice” on Wednesday. “Nice practice,” Miles said. Full speed ahead.” Fournette suffered a “contusion, a nice bruise,” as Miles called the injury, on a lengthy carry in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin and sat out last week against Jacksonville State. Miles did not say whether Fournette practiced on Monday or Tuesday. LSU has a walk-through practice Thursday afternoon.
in which he said that his words were being twisted by some media outlets. Perry said in the video that if no legislation is passed, then rescue volunteers will continue to be stopped by law enforcement officials for crossing over barricades and breaking the law. “The intent of what I want to do is to completely un-regulate it to where our volunteers are not stopped from going out,” Perry said. “What’s happening is, it’s all getting twisted around like I’m trying to put a fee on it. I’m trying to tax it. I’m trying to require a permit.” LeBas said he had not looked into the legislation, but he believes people are always going to help one another in times of crisis. “People are going to do what they need to do in a time of distress,” LeBas said. “So legislation or no legislation, people are going to help.”

Out from Prescott’s shadow, MSU quarterback packs punch of his own BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n Dak Prescott isn’t walking through that tunnel. For the first time in four years, it’ll be sophomore quarterback Nick Fitzgerald leading Mississippi State’s charge against No. 20 LSU instead of Prescott. For that reason, the Tigers (1-1) can breathe a sigh of relief. Forever imprinted in Tiger minds is Prescott’s 268 passing and 105 rushing yard performance that secured a 34-29 Bulldog victory at Tiger Stadium two years ago. “We definitely won’t miss him,” said junior safety Jamal Adams. “He’s a smart quarterback that breaks a lot of things down. His

running attack is very different as a quarterback. He’s a big body. But like I said, we’re definitely not going to miss him.” The Prescott hangover affected Mississippi State (1-1) in its season-opening loss against South Alabama, 21-20. The Bulldogs played two quarterbacks, junior Damian Williams and Fitzgerald, neither of whom could preserve a 17-0 halftime lead against the Sun Belt Conference’s Jaguars. The Bulldogs take Tiger Stadium at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Despite the absence of the former face of its program and a .500 record, Mississippi State is to not be underestimated after redeeming itself against a Southeastern Conference foe

Tigers look to avenge 2014 home loss against MSU BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Senior linebacker Kendell Beckwith remembers Sept. 20, 2014. “They ran up and down the field on us,” Beckwith said. “We gave up a ton of yards.” Two years ago, then-No. 8 LSU (1-1) played an unranked Mississippi State team that entered Tiger Stadium as a seven-point underdog and wasn’t expected to compete with the Tigers. But quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Josh Robinson had other plans.
The two Louisiana natives led Mississippi State to a 34-29 win, dominating the Tigers on the ground and rushing for 302 yards. “I’ve been dreaming about this since I was 10,” Robinson said, moments after the game ended. Mississippi State (1-1) silenced 102,321 fans inside Tiger Stadium, which was the third-largest crowd in LSU history, after going up 34-10 in the third quarter. Beckwith didn’t start against the Bulldogs, but he rotated with former linebacker D.J. Welter. The 6-foot-2, 247-pound linebacker said Mississippi State’s record-setting
game was a “rough night.” The last two matchups between the two teams have been decided by a total of seven points. Sophomore offensive guard Will Clapp’s first-ever Southeastern Conference game was the Tigers’ nail-biting 21-19 win in 2015. He expects a similar bout on Saturday. “When it’s an SEC team, it’s always going to be a battle,” Clapp said. The Bulldogs’ win marked their first victory against the Tigers since 1999 and their first win inside Tiger Stadium since 1991. Before the
LSU sophomore defensive back Donte Jackson (1) and senior cornerback Tre’Davious White (18) celebrate after interrupting a pass during the Tigers’ 34-13 win against the Jacksonville Gamecocks on Sept. 10 at Tiger Stadium.

School of Art Faculty Exhibition features artwork from faculty members BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler
colleagues MYKEIL CHAMBERS / The Daily Reveille
The School of Art Faculty Exhibition offers faculty members the opportunity to showcase their work and for students to connect with what their teachers are creating outside of the classroom.
To help bridge a gap between professors and students, LSU School of Art faculty members will express themselves — just like their students — through art. The School of Art Faculty Exhibition opened in the Shaw Center for the Arts’ Glassell Gallery on Sept. 6 and will remain open until Oct. 16. School of Art director Rod Parker dubbed the show “a venerable tradition that goes back into the mists of time.” Each of the school’s faculty members have substantial regional, national or international creative practices, Parker said. Ultimately, they do the same work they assign to their students, he said, even if that work is displayed in an outside venue. “It is the single biggest opportunity of the year for students to see the work of the faculty with who they study, and for faculty to show each other and the public the direction their work is taking,” Parker said. The full show occurs every two years. With 24 to
28 artists on staff, a full show only allows for about one or two works from each. During off years, a smaller show is held. “This is an opportunity for them to show their work and for their students to connect with what their teachers are doing,” Parker said. Leslie Friedman, an artist featured in the exhibit, is the school’s newest staff member. She specializes in printmaking, sculpture and installation. Between her undergraduate and graduate degrees, Friedman spent two-and-ahalf years in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during which time she built a screen printing studio in her apartment. “The faculty at the School of Art are talented artists from right here in Louisiana, all over the nation and beyond — a real world class faculty — so having my work in this show really makes me feel like ‘Wow, I’ve arrived,’” Friedman said.

Millennials will be first generation responsible for retirement funding
Millennial Statistics 59 percent invest in stocks
50 percent plan to work during retirement
81 percent are concerned Social Security will not be available when they retire
5 percent feel they are an expert in investing
Millennials are delaying retirement savings to pay off their average of $33,000 in student loans compiled by JAY CRANFORD
JAY TALKING JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford In 1875, The American Express Company established the first company-sponsored pension in the United States. Retirement was a foreign concept at the time — most people worked until they died. Around the turn of the century, 77 percent of men over the age of 65 were still working, and those who weren’t were most likely to be disabled. However, as pensions started popping up around the nation, the number of men who retired after age 65 began to grow, reaching 42 percent by 1930. At this point, the culture surrounding retirement began to shift. It became more acceptable for males to quit working before they died or became disabled. In fact, most private pensions at this time forced workers to retire. Then, on Oct. 29, 1929, the stock market crashed, throw-
ing America into the Great Depression. The sudden decline in stocks wiped out retirement plans, and the number of senior citizens living in poverty was estimated to be more than 50 percent. This prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to enact the Social Security Act in August 1935. Social Security would guarantee citizens approaching the retirement age of 65, the same age we still use 80 years later, would be taken care of. After World War II thrust America into a new age of economic prosperity, the stage was set for how America would view retirement until modern day. The percent of workers with pensions would steadily rise into the ’70s, reaching a high of 55 percent in 1975. Your great grandparents, and even some of your grandparents, lived knowing that if they put in their 40 years at the same company, they could retire at 65 with a guaranteed paycheck for the rest of their lives. If they weren’t fortunate enough to have a pension,
Social Security would keep them out of poverty. The system of pensions worked until people started living longer and costing more than companies originally accounted for. When the Great Recession of 2008 hit, many large companies lost their pensions investments, meaning they could not pay the benefits they guaranteed. Today, only around 28 percent of people in the workforce participate in an employeesponsored pension plan. Most baby boomers were mid-career when the Revenue Act of 1978 introduced qualified deferred compensation plans such as the 401(k). These types of retirement plans allowed for workers to save for their own retirement, which their employees would also contribute to. Many companies switched over to these types of retirement plans to save on costs and have greater flexibility. While many baby boomers used these retirement plans, they didn’t have enough time for compound interest to take full effect.
Add on the fact that many were getting ready to retire when the Great Recession hit, and most baby boomers will be retiring on the strength of Social Security payments. The sheer number of retirees who will be taking payments from Social Security over the next couple of decades is the reason you’re hearing doomsday stories about Social Security. While it is true the government is facing problems with Social Security, we can’t be sure what it will look like when Generation X and millennials are ready to retire. I am confident Social Security will still be around when we retire, just not in the way it exists today. So where does that leave us? Gen X and millennials will have to take retirement into our own hands. While the generations before us were able to retire on the strengths of pensions and Social Security, we will have to retire on the strengths of our own retirement accounts and investments, such as 401(k)s and IRAs.

The good news is that millennials are saving for retirement. While studies vary, somewhere between 50 and 70 percent of millennials have started saving -- and saving early, with the median age being 22. However, the bad news is that only 24 percent of millennials demonstrated basic financial literacy, according to a study by the George Washington Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center. Because we will be the generation of do-it-yourself retirement, it is vital everyone has a basic knowledge of investments and personal finance. If not, we may see ourselves working into our 70s or 80s. Luckily for you, there are multiple resources available for you to learn about finances. There are several great TED Talks about personal finance, tons of websites and blogs by people just like you, or you can even consider taking a personal finance course here at LSU. Jay is a 22-year-old senior from St. Island, Georgia.

Thursday, September 15, 2016 FITZGERALD, from page 3 last Saturday. “Mississippi State is a very, very talented team,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “They’ve got a dynamic offense. They’ve got Nick Fitzgerald, a running quarterback and throwing quarterback, both. He set school records against South Carolina.” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen settled on Fitzgerald to start week two, a decision that proved fruitful as the Bulldogs avenged their early loss with a 27-14 victory against South Carolina. Fitzgerald, a former threestar recruit, redshirted his first year in Starkville and developed behind Prescott into a formidable dual-threat weapon in Mullen’s offense. He threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, and his first starting victory was

while the left side is comprised of sophomores who played sparingly during their respective freshman seasons. “Fred Ross, very good wide receiver, made big plays for them,” Miles said. “Offensive line is big, strong and physical.” Senior cornerback Tre’Davious White said he saw Mississippi State’s highlights on ESPN before watching the game film and noticed Fitzgerald’s speed and similarity to Prescott. Even still, Adams expects LSU to play its normal brand of football. “We definitely don’t want to play timid,” Adams said. “We’re going to always play our speed of football. We just have to take the proper angles.”

LOSS, from page 3 upset loss, LSU coach Les Miles had only been defeated twice in night games at home. “You kind of go back, review this and say, ‘What exactly happened here?’” Miles said after the loss in 2014. Before the loss to Mississippi State, LSU was 42-2 under Miles in night games in Tiger Stadium, with those two defeats coming from then top-ranked Alabama in 2012 and first-ranked Florida in 2009. The Bulldogs, though, continued to shatter more records that evening. Mississippi State racked up 570 yards of total offense, which, at the time, was the most yards allowed in Miles’ tenure. To senior cornerback Tre’Davious White, the 2014 loss doesn’t continue to weigh on the Tigers, but the defeat will still be on his mind when the Bulldogs revisit Tiger Stadium Saturday. “We don’t like to lose at home,” White said. “It’s not going to be on our minds, but we always remember what happened. We just want to try and get that game back and get a win.” While saying the past is behind him, White’s future includes two goals against Mississippi State: an interception and a fumble recovery. “I got a pick-six in the future, I will say for myself,” White said “I already told the guys, I can see myself having a pick-six and a fumble this game. That’s my goal for this week.”

CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS
Man hurls object that hits someone near Field House Drive LSUPD spokesperson Kevin Scott said non-student John Hopper threw an unknown object that hit someone in the leg near Field House Dr. on campus around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
When LSUPD officers arrived to the scene, Hopper ran from authorities, Scott said. After a quick foot pursuit, Scott said officers were able to catch up with Hopper, and he was placed under
arrest. Officers also discovered that Hopper had a warrant for a traffic violation. He was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for simple battery, resisting arrest and a traffic warrant, Scott said.
Boyfriend, girlfriend arrested after routine traffic stop on Dalrymple Scott said LSUPD pulled up next to an illegally parked vehicle on the shoulder of Dalrymple Drive and conducted a routine traffic stop around 10 p.m. on Saturday. While talking to the driver, non-student Damon McKinley, officers said they smelled an odor believed to be marijuana, Scott said. Scott said McKinley consented to a vehicle search. During their search, officers discovered marijuana in the glove box and a fully-loaded stolen revolver under the driver’s seat,
Scott said. As officers waited for a tow truck to impound McKinley’s vehicle, Scott said McKinley’s girlfriend, non-student Jasmin Jones, arrived at the scene claiming she wanted to take McKinley’s vehicle home. Scott said Jones became agitated when officers told her the vehicle was being towed and she could not take it. After giving Jones multiple opportunities to leave, Scott said officers then went to place Jones into
custody, at which point Jones began to be combative with the officers. Scott said Jones was handcuffed without use of force and was transported to the Public Safety Building with her boyfriend. McKinley was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana and a parking violation, Scott said. Jones was arrested for interfering with an investigation and resisting a police officer. Both were transported to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Friedman cofounded NAPOLEON, an art collective comprised of 10 artists and curatorial members, in 2011. Three years later, she completed a fellowship at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists and won the Fleisher Wind Challenge. “It is always interesting to get to see artists’ work up close, especially after getting to know them personally first,” Friedman said. “It is like getting to see inside someone’s mind.” Her work has been shown both nationally and internationally, with solo shows in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Providence, Rhode Island and Wilmington, Delaware. Focusing on political and social themes, her work often explores identities, stereotypes, gender and religion. “I am passionate about art because it is the best way I know how to communicate my point of view, my concerns of the day and my feelings,” Friedman said. She has three prints featured in the School of Art exhibit, all of which stray from her usual methodology. The
prints are black and white collographs from “Vivianus,” a body of work she debuted in January, and have a gritty, earthy quality that depicts a utopian society. Another featured faculty member, Hye Yeon Nam, is a digital media artist. She works on interactive installations and performance video. Nam “foregoes the complexity of social relationships by making the familiar strange and interpreting everyday behaviors in performative ways,” Parker said. Her work has been showcased in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., Times Square, on the Canadian Discovery Channel and in several festivals in places ranging from China to Istanbul to Ireland. “The faculty exhibition has, for me, always been an awesome opportunity to see, view and experience the incredible diversity and immense talent of my colleagues in the school,” Parker said. The public is invited to attend a reception on Sept. 29 from 6-8 p.m., where guests will be given the opportunity to meet with the artists.
