‘I miss you, Ma.’ Following the death of his mother, Miles coaches through emotions to lead LSU to victory BY michael haarala mhaarala@lsureveille.com Heartbreak and happiness worked together to give LSU head coach Les Miles a day he will never forget. When the timer reached zero and then-No. 24 LSU upset then-No. 3 Ole Miss, emotions ran high throughout the stadium and even higher in the locker room. Less than 24 hours before the Tigers (7-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) took on the Rebels (7-1, 4-1 SEC), Miles’ mother, Martha Miles, passed away in a Baton Rouge-area assisted-living facility at 91 years old. LSU players were told of Martha’s passing during a late-night meeting in the team hotel on Friday. The situation was not made public

Fan dies in Tiger Stadium during game
59-year-old dies after apparent heart attack BY chandler rome editor@lsureveille.com East Baton Rouge Parish coroner Dr. Beau Clark confirmed the identity of the fan who died at Saturday’s LSU-Ole Miss game to be 59-year-old Brian Tingley. Clark said Tingley’s manner of death was natural and the preliminary cause of death is related to cardiovascular disease. He said Tingley complained of chest pains before the incident. LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette said Tingely died of an apparent heart attack and the incident had nothing to do with Tiger fans rushing the field after LSU’s 10-7 victory. Tingley was seated in the lower bowl of the south end zone. Clark said there were no signs of trauma. Like Bonnette, he added the fans rushing the field did not contribute to the death.

New Alumni Association president encourages student involvement
Association plans to expand freshman outreach BY quint forgey qforgey@lsureveille.com Cliff Vannoy, president and CEO of the LSU Alumni Association, knows the power of building relationships. He’s the type of guy who uses the term “friend-raising” and chokes up when discussing his late father, a former Navy pilot who landed Mach 4 jets on aircraft carriers in the middle of the ocean. His demeanor may come as less of a surprise given his position, which demands sincerity in fostering personal connections.
The lanky 57-year-old towers over his staff and oversees fundraising operations with 135 alumni chapters stretching from Baton Rouge to Tokyo. “There’s a lot of thank-you calls that go along with that because you have a lot of people who have supported the University in a big way,” Vannoy said. “You also have some folks who just started. Maybe they just started with a $50 gift, and that gift has come in and you’re thanking them for joining that chapter and making the effort to be part of what we’re doing here for LSU.” Vannoy’s spacious office on the second floor of the Lod Cook Alumni Center is being remodeled — a renovation that could be taken symbolically, given
Vannoy’s recent ascension to the presidency. Former Alumni Association President and CEO Charlie Roberts resigned his post in August following a lawsuit alleging a sexual relationship and monetary contract with Alumni Association employee Kay Heath. Vannoy, then chief operating officer of the association, was fast-tracked to the president’s office. “You know, sometimes, that firestorm that happens, there’s a positive about that too, and you find out who your friends are and who really likes your institution and who really believes in you,” Vannoy said.

Drugmakers bet on Ebola vaccines, treatments THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drugmakers are racing to develop vaccines and drugs to address the worst outbreak of Ebola in history. It’s unclear who will pay for their products, but companies are betting that governments and aid groups will foot the bill. There are no proven drugs or vaccines for Ebola, in large part because the disease is so rare that up until now it’s been hard to attract research funding. And the West African nations hardest hit by the outbreak are unlikely to be able to afford new Ebola vaccines and drugs. But governments and corporations now are shifting millions of dollars to fight Ebola in the wake of the outbreak that has infected nearly 10,000 people and killed over 4,800. Experts say drugmakers are wagering that international groups and wealthier governments like the U.S. will buy Ebola vaccines and drugs in mass quantities to stockpile them for future use once they’re deemed safe. “The political bet is that the U.S. and World Health Organization have been so embarrassed and burned by this event that they will be willing to change the way they do business,” said Professor
Lawrence Gostin of the Georgetown University Law School, who studies global health issues. Drugmakers have benefited from stockpiling before. During the bird flu pandemic of 2009, Western governments spent billions to stock up on drugs and vaccines that mostly went unused. Shelf-life varies by product, but can be as little as a year. Still, it’s unclear who will pay for the Ebola vaccines that are in development, even after a WHO meeting on Thursday that included government officials, drugmakers and philanthropic groups. “Something concrete needs to be developed soon,” said Dr. Manica Balasegaram of Doctors Without Borders, who attended the meeting. “This needs to done in tandem for us to prepare for when these vaccines are deployed in the larger scale beyond clinical trials.” Even with the uncertainty, drug companies are rushing to begin testing in patients. Johnson & Johnson said last week it will begin safety testing in early January of a vaccine combination that could protect against an Ebola strain that is “highly similar” to the virus that triggered the current outbreak.
The New Brunswick, New Jersey, company is spending up to $200 million to speed up production of the vaccine, which it licensed in part from a Danish company last month. If safety tests are successful, the company hopes to begin large clinical trials in May 2015. The two leading Ebola vaccines in the pipeline have largely been funded by government efforts, but their testing is being completed by a combination of corporate and public financing. Human trials of a vaccine codeveloped by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and GlaxoSmithKline are being funded by the company, its charitable trust and funds from the U.S. and U.K. governments. It is being tested for safety in the U.S., U.K. and Mali. GSK said it might be able to make about 1 million doses of its vaccine per month by the end of 2015, assuming that some logistical and regulatory hurdles can be overcome. A small U.S. drugmaker, NewLink Genetics, holds the license on the second front-runner vaccine, which was initially developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada and has been
sent to the U.S. Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland for testing on healthy volunteers, with preliminary safety results expected by December. Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny from the U.N. health agency told reporters last week that millions of doses could be available in 2015 in West Africa if early tests proved that the two leading experimental vaccines are safe and provoke enough of an immune response to protect people from being infected with Ebola. Kieny also said five other possible Ebola vaccines should start being tested in March, but she gave no details about who is making them, or where those five vaccines would be tested. Virologist Ben Neuman said the unprecedented focus on Ebola also will benefit smaller companies that are developing drugs that can slow the diseases, such as MAPP Pharmaceuticals of San Diego and Tekmira Pharmaceuticals of Canada. “There are lots of very promising options out there,” said Neuman, a professor at the University of Reading in Britain. “One of the treatments or vaccines that they are trying now is going to work. But we don’t know which one.”

Queen sends first tweet, signed ‘Elizabeth R’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II has sent her first tweet — though she kept things traditional, signing off with “Elizabeth R.” The 88-year-old monarch tried her hand at Twitter as she opened a new gallery Friday in central London’s Science Museum, taking off a glove to press a tablet screen as 600 guests looked on. The message, “I hope people will enjoy visiting” the exhibition, was sent instantly through the official British monarchy account on the social media website. “Elizabeth R” is how the queen signs official documents. The “R’’ stands for “regina,” the Latin for queen. Officials said the message came “personally” from the queen, although some eyebrows were raised about whether that was the case. The message appeared to be typed ahead of time, and bizarrely appears to have been sent using the Twitter for iPhone app, even though video showed the queen was using an iPad or a similar tablet device. Officials wouldn’t say if the queen personally wrote the message or comment on the electronic discrepancy. “We’re not going to go into the details,” a Buckingham Palace spokesman said. The queen does not have a

Board of Supervisors approves next year’s budget request BY deanna narveson dnarveson@lsureveille.com
The LSU Board of Supervisors approved the first piece in setting the budget for fiscal year 20152016. The Operating Budget Request details the financial needs of the LSU System for the next year. Vice President for Finance and Administration Daniel Layzell said the budget request is based on the funding formula set by the Louisiana Board of Regents, which calculates and estimates the funding higher education institutions need to run. The budget request, approved Friday, outlines the funding for each of the LSU System’s campuses across the state except for the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the LSU System Office and the LSU Health Care Services Division. The Louisiana Board of Regents will submit a similar budget request for all of the state’s higher education institutions to the Division of Administration and Legislature for the next year. These requests will be updated as additional information becomes available and presented in the final request to the Legislature at the end
of March 2015, as outlined in the agenda. Student parking and University residential buildings may also see improvements in the next few years. The board also moved forward with plans to improve the use of University assets, focusing on student housing, parking and energy management. Plans are based on a report the board received from Huron Consulting Group presented to the board at its September meeting. The group was hired to evaluate the University’s parking and Residential Life. At the September meeting, Stephen Goldsmith, a managing director with Huron, said the major finding in his report is that University housing is cost-effective and well-managed, but parking could see improvements. Layzell said the plan’s goals are to increase University revenues in student housing, parking and energy while still allowing students to use the buildings as changes are made. Becoming a greener University by using less energy was also in the plans. The University will monitor the energy use of many buildings on campus to see how it can be
improved and work toward upgrading lighting fixtures in many buildings to increase energy efficiency, Layzell said. The plans will be integrated into the University’s master plan for residential halls and are a part of LSU 2015 — an initiative to increase the University’s competitiveness. The board also approved a lease agreement with the LSU Foundation for the Nicholson Gateway development, where the Foundation will be housed. The development will build a new residential area in place of the old Nicholson Apartments. According to the University’s website, the Nicholson Gateway development aims to offer the amenities students experience on campus and to attract graduate students as an alternative to other housing options. The Board of Supervisors also approved a contract extension for men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones and a decrease in ticket prices for women’s basketball games. According to the board’s agenda, the decrease in season tickets for basketball games will help entice fans to purchase tickets even though many of the games this season will be televised.

Homecoming headliner discusses show BY Joshua jackson jjackson@lsureveille.com
Eight years ago, Stephen Barker Liles, Eric Gunderson and Brian Bandas came together to form country band Love and Theft. After two albums and the departure of Bandas, the now duo has continued to climb its way up the country music charts. While on a tour to promote its upcoming album, Love and Theft made a stop at LSU as the headlining act for this year’s homecoming concert. The Daily Reveille sat down with Love and Theft to talk about its inspiration, performance and this weekend’s homecoming game. The Daily Reveille: How did Love and Theft begin? Stephen Barker Liles: We met in Nashville through another artist named Canaan Smith in 2005 on the campus of Belmont University. I was there playing a show, and Eric was also there seeing a friend. We were brought together again by some producers, and the original goal for us was to be a four piece, Eagles-like, country band. We went through some names and came up with Love and Theft because it’s a Bob Dylan album, and he’s one of our big influences. One guy quit, and we just decided to be a trio. Then after the first album, another guy quit. We’ve been a duo for almost four years. TDR: Other than Bob Dylan, where do you draw your inspiration?
Eric Gunderson: The Eagles are probably one of our biggest inspirations, and for me personally, Jackson Browne. We both grew up listening to Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. A lot of classic country and a lot of classic rock. SBL: I’m a preacher’s kid, so he wasn’t bringing home Metallica at night. He was bringing home Three Dog Night and stuff like that. Nirvana was also a big influence in me learning how to play the guitar. TDR: Have you played in Louisiana before? If so, what was your experience like? EG: Every time we play here, both Baton Rouge and New Orleans, we like being a part of such a live music scene. We have a bunch of friends from Nashville who live in this area. We have a pretty good following down here too, so it’s always a pleasure. SBL: It was awesome waking up and being on LSU’s campus. And “College Game Day” was there, so I got on ESPN today with some of the students. TDR: Speaking of the University, how is it being here during Homecoming Week? SBL: The vibe is really good here. We bought some gear earlier. We jogged over to the UREC, and you could just tell how excited people are about the weekend. TDR: What are your favorite songs to play live? EG: My favorite song to play is
probably “Running Out of Air.” It’s got a cool, uptempo vibe, and it’s a little different than a lot of our stuff. SBL: I like playing “Angel Eyes” because that is our biggest hit, and when we play it, even though people don’t know the words, they’ll most likely sing along with it. If no one sings to any of our songs, they usually sing to that one. TDR: How do you feel about people who say country music is “boring” or “depressing”? SBL: People who say country music is boring or depressing are just ignorant because it’s the second biggest genre in the world behind pop radio. It’s taken over the rock scene. It is the new rock and roll because rock radio is dead. If somebody wants to be a rock artist, there’s no money in it unless you have hits from back in the ’90s or early 2000s. They just need to listen to country radio right now because it is awesome. It’s so diverse. We have bluesy country, a little pop country and some with a little rock in it. There’s not many depressing songs I can think of. EG: I think a lot of older country was slow and depressing, but it’s the opposite direction now. SBL: Yeah. Another great thing about country radio is there are actual instruments being played. On pop radio, it’s all digital. It’s still good, but when we record, we record with a band live. Now, I love EDM, and I love pop radio. But I also, as an artist, respect people playing their own instruments.

Fans decision to rush field foolish THE DAILY LABATOMY Trey labat Sports Editor
Some things are just meant to be. The No. 16 LSU football team defeated No. 7 Ole Miss, 10-7, on Saturday because of its persistent and revenge-driven defensive unit. “[Defensive coordinator John] Chavis challenged us early in the week to be prepared and to take on the challenge because last year, those guys threw for over 300‐ plus yards on us,” said LSU senior safety Ronald Martin. “[Defensive backs coach Corey] Raymond challenged us also. We just have to step up to the challenge.”
Before the season, if someone told me the LSU student section would rush the field after the Tigers beat a No. 3 Ole Miss team, I would’ve laughed in their face — mostly because I’ve seen the student section after games, and there usually aren’t enough people still in the stands who could get on the field. LSU is a team that is perennially ranked in the top 25. It was runner-up for the national championship three seasons ago and is generally considered one of the premier programs in the nation. And the fans just rushed the field after beating a team they’ve watched struggle through mediocrity since Eli Manning left in 2004. Act like you’ve been there before. If you’re going to cry and moan about the home schedule and leave early because “it’s hot,” then you can’t rush the field after beating Ole Miss. The safety concerns are real. Sprinting as fast as you can to get down to the field after consuming alcoholic beverages all day is a quick way to get someone seriously injured. It didn’t happen this time, but if Alabama comes to town in two weeks and the Tigers pull off another upset and the student section rushes the field again, someone

Tigers extend winning streak against with victory against Georgia BY tyler nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com The LSU volleyball team extended its winning streak to seven games Sunday when it defeated Georgia, 3-1 (25-15, 17-25, 28-26, 25-20), in its return home to the PMAC. After losing their first three games in Southeastern Conference play, the Tigers (12-7, 7-3 SEC) improved to third in the league and first in the SEC West division with their win against the Bulldogs (1011, 2-7 SEC). “We’ve played ourselves into a higher level in the SEC,” said LSU coach Fran Flory. “By all likes in the beginning of the season, we’re the team everybody thought they could get a significant win in the league against. Now we’ve proven that maybe we’re not that easy, and
we’re one that they better be ready for.” LSU’s win against a struggling Georgia team did not come easily. With the match tied at one set apiece, the Bulldogs led a majority of the third set on their way to a 2321 advantage. The Tigers responded with three straight kills to take a 24-23 lead before the two squads traded blows. LSU came out on top with a big 28-26 victory to take a 2-1 edge against Georgia. “Vital,” Flory said of winning the third set. “If not, we’re still playing right now ... Winning that was the defining moment of the match.” LSU seemed to be on its way to an easy fourth-set win for the match when a block by junior outside hitter Emily Ehrle gave the Tigers an 19-13 lead.
Before the fans in the PMAC knew what happened, Georgia scored five consecutive points and cut LSU’s lead to one. That’s when the growth and maturity that led to LSU’s winning streak came into play. “One of the things we’ve been talking about and working on is composure and poise,” said LSU sophomore middle blocker Briana Holman. “It’s more of an experience thing. We finally figured it out.” After dominating the first set 25-15 with a .429 hitting percentage while holding the Bulldogs to .129 clip, the Tigers’ offensive production decreased dramatically as they shot .154 in the second set. Georgia took advantage, hitting at a rate of .333 on its way to a 25-17

Tigers thrive on trust during streak Tigers succeed in doubles, struggle in singles
BY Brian pellerin bpellerin@lsureveille.com The LSU volleyball team has finally hit its stride this season. After struggling to finish matches earlier in the year, the Tigers pointed to unity and trust as the keys to their current seven-game win streak. The run is the longest since the first seven games of the 2013 season, but unlike last year’s, every win of this streak has been against Southeastern Conference opponents. LSU opened conference play with three consecutive losses and struggled to win close sets. Since then, the Tigers have turned it around. They came back from down two sets to one and knocked off Arkansas in five sets Oct. 5, starting their streak and rise to third place in the SEC standings. Sophomore middle blocker Briana Holman said the win against Arkansas was when the Tigers figured out what they needed to do. “That was the first time that we finished regardless of what happened at the beginning of the game,� Holman said. “That was the moment we figured it out, and ever since then, we’ve been on this run.� After beating Arkansas, the Tigers beat Mississippi State in three sets at home but faced a four-game road stretch against Tennessee, Missouri, Ole Miss and a Kentucky team that had already beaten LSU this season. LSU not only won those four matches, but they dropped only two sets in the process. LSU coach Fran Flory said winning on the road has done wonders for her team’s confidence. “When you’re on the road, you have to bond together,� Flory said. “I think they have a different air about them. They have a different confidence and they trust each other a little more.� The Tigers returned home Sunday and faced a Georgia team with only two conference wins, but LSU wouldn’t let the Bulldogs ruin their streak. The Tigers took an extended third set, 28-26, and again flexed their new killer instincts to beat Georgia in four sets. Holman said the trust the Tigers have developed was needed during Sunday’s win. “There’s a point in every game where the other [team] gets on you, and you’re like, ‘Oh crap,’� Holman said. “Then you just have to have your composure. It makes it a lot easier to say, ‘it’s okay.’� LSU remains humble despite the success, Holman said. “Focus on the next and forget about the last� is a slogan the team has adopted to keep its focus.
Simpson, Butsch get wins over ranked opponents
Southern Regional at Auburn, the No. 14 doubles team of junior Tam Trinh and sophomore Eric Perez went 0-3 on the weekend. One of those defeats was an opening round loss to Adams and Vinsant. Even with the success in doubles, the Tigers were only able to muster 12 wins out of their 31 singles opportunities. However, there were a few bright spots, including ranked victories by senior Chris Simpson and sophomore Justin Butsch. Simpson defeated Felipe Soares of Texas Tech, 2-6, 6-3, in round one. Simpson received the victory when Soares retired before the deciding third set. In round three, Butsch upset Jeremy Efferding in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. In total, Simpson and Butsch had two wins apiece in singles and two wins as a doubles pairing. The Tigers will begin the spring season at home against Lamar and Nicholls State on Jan. 18, 2015 before the ITA Kickoff Weekend tournament on Jan. 23 and 24, 2015 at Texas A&M. “We wrapped up play today, and it will go a long way in preparing us for the season ahead,� coach Jeff Brown said in a news release “We had some good individual performances this weekend.�

Sophomore middle blocker Briana Holman (13) returns the ball Sunday during the Tigers’ 3-1 victory over Georgia in the PMAC. Flory said her team was pressing too much early in the season, which led to the Tigers’ struggles. “We were playing for too much instead of just trusting the process,� Flory said. “We started setting some individual goals and having a shorter vision and not trying to see so far into the future with one touch or one play.�
Flory said her team is now starting to have fun, and that’s one reason behind LSU’s winning streak. “It’s typical of any team that’s going to have success at any point in the season.� Flory said. “That comfort level and that trust can’t be there unless you’re really having fun, and if you’re having fun, then you really do trust.�
The LSU men’s tennis team generated 19 wins between the doubles and singles teams in three days of play at the Texas A&M Conference Challenge in College Station, Texas this weekend. The Conference Challenge, which was in a hidden dual format, featured several ranked competitors, including the No. 11 and No. 15 ranked singles players, Harrison Adams and Shane Vinsant of Texas A&M. Adams and Vinsant also make up the No. 23 doubles team in the nation. The Tigers were victorious in seven of their 12 doubles matches, including three victories from the duo of junior Harrison Kennedy and sophomore John Michael Busch. Kennedy and Busch defeated Jett Cash and Frankie Colunga of Texas A&M 8-6 in round one. In round two, the Tiger duo dominated Hunter Holman and Evan Nix of Texas Tech, 8-2. The final win was against Cash and Scott Wilding of the University of Mary Hardi Baylor, 8-3. After last week’s semifinal appearance at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association

page 8 FANS, from page 5 will get hurt. When I first saw the reports of the death happening in Tiger Stadium, I immediately thought it was caused by the pandemonium in the crowd. Imagine your parents at home hearing someone died as the replays of people climbing over one another to get on the field to stand around and look like an idiot. I realize these points fall on the deaf ears of an 18-to-22-yearold student who just chugged the pint of Fireball they smuggled into the stadium, but it shouldn’t take something bad to happen for people to realize their actions have consequences. Plus, storming the field after beating Ole Miss is ridiculous, and it took away from a great game — a game in which the fans had a large part in determining the result. The LSU defense looked the best it has in two seasons against the Rebels, and a large part of it had to do with the electric atmo-
WIN, from page 5 win to tie the match. LSU’s offense improved in the third and fourth sets, but it never got back into the rhythm it had, as the Tigers were held to a .221 attacking percentage after the first set. “They did a really good job of putting pressure on us, and we had a tendency to get complacent and think we were just going to win it without having to earn it,” said junior outside hitter Cati Leak. “Once we realized that going into halftime, we picked it up.” Leak finished the game with 11 kills and 13 digs, the last of each came at the same time when she dove on the ground for a ball Georgia couldn’t handle as it went over
sphere in the stadium. With so many young players contributing in crucial spots for the Tigers, the team feeds off the energy. LSU was able to generate a consistent four-man pass rush throughout the game, something it hasn’t been able to do all season. Rushing the field distracted from what was one of the best crowds I’ve ever seen. The Alabama and South Carolina games from the 2012 season are the closest in comparison, but without the crowd on Saturday night, LSU loses the game. After a bevy of early mistakes, the fans could’ve easily lost hope and turned on the team, something they’ve done as recently as the New Mexico State game. But they stuck with it, letting players like freshman Jamal Adams feed on their energy. The defense flew to the ball, breaking up almost everything Ole Miss tried to do on offense. When people reverently talk about Tiger Stadium being one of the scariest places to play, they are the net. Holman had another impressive outing with a .407 hitting percentage for 15 kills in addition to five blocks. Prior to the game, Flory was announced as the winningest coach in LSU volleyball history as senior associate athletic director Miriam Segar presented her with a ball to commemorate her recordbreaking 309th win. “They gave me a ball with 309 on it, and I thought, ‘hopefully I get more than 309 and hopefully tonight was 310,’” Flory said. “I’m honored and privileged — as I say all the time — to work here and be a part of this University.”

Tigers struggle against Florida, drop sixth consecutive match BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com The defense was feisty but outmuscled, the passes were the correct decisions but continuously off-target and the scoring was nonexistent. In a season full of blown opportunities and untimely mistakes, nothing went right for the LSU soccer team against No. 8 Florida on Sunday, and the Tigers are now one game closer to a long offseason. LSU (5-12-2, 1-8-1 Southeastern Conference) couldn’t keep pace with the Gators’ passheavy attack and dropped its sixth consecutive game by a final of 3-0 Sunday at LSU Soccer Stadium. The loss, which was the Tigers’ 10th in 12 games, officially ended their SEC Tournament hopes for the second season in coach Brian Lee’s 10-year tenure and for the first time since 2006. LSU has been blanked in three consecutive games and have been outscored seven to zero during that span, but Lee said he was actually impressed with the Tigers’ play in the attack against Florida on Sunday. “We had 10, maybe 12, 3-on-3 opportunities in the box against
one of the top teams in the country, but we just weren’t getting shots off,” Lee said. “We just weren’t sharp in that final little area. It sounds silly when you lose 3-0, but I kind of thought it was fantastic in terms of the potential and closeness of the game.” LSU didn’t attempt a shot until freshman forward Jorian Baucom misfired in the 50th minute of action, and the Tigers finished with just seven shots in the contest. On the other side of the pitch, Florida had no trouble weaving the ball through and around the Tigers. The Gators seamlessly passed the ball to one another all over the field, creating 13 scoring opportunities that led to two goals in the first half. Florida would have put the game out of reach much earlier if not for the standout performance of LSU junior goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano, who made her fifth consecutive start between net this season on Sunday. The New Orleans native tallied six saves against eight shots on frame in the first half. Rubiano charged after loose balls in the box, tipped away rocket shots from distance and directed the young Tigers back

before being pulled in the 60th minute. “It feels good to be able to provide that to the team,” Rubiano said. “Hopefully it gives them a foundation to work out of on the back.” Despite Rubiano’s athletic play in goal, she couldn’t keep the Gators from claiming victory in the first half. Florida sophomore forward Savannah Jordan scored the game-winner in the 23rd minute when she went top shelf over Rubiano’s outstretched arms from 18 yards out. Gators junior defender Brooke Smith added her second goal of the season 19 minutes later to give Florida a 2-0 lead against LSU at the break. The Tigers’ upcoming contest against Auburn on Thursday will conclude what has been a disappointing season for Lee and his club. With consecutive top-15 recruiting classes on the Tigers’ roster, the squad believed an SEC Tournament appearance at season’s end was inevitable. But as the losses piled on top of each other, the young LSU squad could never develop the much-needed cohesion with one another. With the SEC tournament out of the picture, the Tigers will soon have 10 months

Monday, October 27, 2014 DEFENSE, from page 5 The Tigers (7-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) shut down an Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) offense ranked third in the SEC, giving LSU its fifth win in the past five years against a top-10 opponent in Tiger Stadium. The LSU defense suffocated the Rebels’ offense, allowing 206 yards and forcing a punt or turnover on downs on four of the Rebels’ five first-half possessions. But with the offense struggling to get the ball in the end zone, the plays the Tigers didn’t make in the first half almost proved to be vital. The Tigers dropped three potential interceptions in the first half, including a drop by LSU junior defensive back Jalen Collins in the red zone, which set up the Rebels for an early 7-0 lead. “You just got to capitalize on those plays, but we just kept fighting and tried to get as many stops as possible,” Collins said. The Tigers were concerned by the lack of plays made in the first half, with their offense seemingly controlling the game but having only a field goal to show heading into the locker room. LSU controlled time of possession in the first half, holding on to the ball for 20:03 compared to Ole Miss’ 9:57. LSU sophomore defensive back Tre’Davious White said defensive backs pride themselves on turnovers and not coming up with those plays was troubling. “Coach [Les] Miles always stresses if we win the turnover margin, we win the game, and for us to not come up with those, come Monday we’ll be on the jug machine for sure,” White said. The Tigers went into
halftime holding Ole Miss under 45 percent on third downs, but LSU senior defensive end Jermauria Rasco said the defense needed to work out some kinks to fully execute its game plan. “The whole first half we were doing what we were supposed to be doing as a defense, we just had to work on the little things,” Rasco said. “We talked about certain adjustments, and we got that done. We just went out in the second half and finished the best way we can.” The Tigers stiffened up after giving up a 55-yard drive on the Rebels’ first possession of the second half, forcing four straight three-and-outs leading to LSU’s go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. LSU swamped Ole Miss’ offense, holding it to (-23) yards during the 12-play span, putting ample pressure on Ole Miss senior quarterback Bo Wallace and
The Daily Reveille forcing the Rebels’ offense to commit penalties. “We responded well as a whole, and we knew what we had to do,” said LSU sophomore linebacker Kendell Beckwith. “We tried to capitalize on the big plays and the opportunities we were offered. We came back in the second half and made those plays happen. I feel like we had them where we wanted them, and I thought we needed to finish it off.” The Tigers sacked Wallace twice, and he struggled to make plays on offense in the second half. Miles said the pressure on the quarterback was key to quieting the Rebels’ potent air attack in the second half. “The pressure on the opponent, specifically the front four, were always around the ball,” Miles said. “Can’t tell you the number of balls we knocked down. That’s nerve-wracking to a quarterback, and I think it

page 11 doesn’t allow them the ability to have easy plays. When you do that, that means every play is on address and being worked.” After the Tigers forced the Rebels to turn the ball over on downs with 1:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, Ole Miss had one more shot at points with 1:19 remaining. The Rebels drove down the field, but Wallace heaved a ball to the end zone with 9 seconds remaining. This time, LSU’s defense made the play. Martin came down with the interception at the two-yard line, sealing the upset victory for the Tigers. “I just read the quarterback,” Martin said. “I saw him roll to the left, and once he threw it, I broke to the ball as fast as I could, and I made the play.”
After missed opportunities to come down with the ball in the first half, Martin secured a longawaited turnover for the Tigers’ first and only forced turnover of the game. The Tigers struggled to catch the break they needed on defense for three-plus quarters, but they came through in a big way when they needed it most. “It was [fitting for the game to end on an interception] with Ronald [Martin] trying to get that pick a couple plays before when Jalen Mills got the pass interference,” White said. “That’s what we come here for, for big time games like this, and to bring DBU back.” You can reach Jack Chascin on Twitter @Chascin_TDR.

Between tailgates, parties and people visiting campus, the University finds itself overrun with trash during weekends of home football games.
Campus deserves more respect than game day offers but he means well gordon brillon Opinion Editor On my way to work every Sunday after a home game, there are a few things I can count on. There’s the acrid stink of urine in the staircase outside of Hodges Hall right by the Reveille newsroom. There are piles of cans and cardboard littered across the green spaces of campus. After a classic Saturday night in Death Valley, it always looks like the campus garbage cans saw how much fun everyone else was having and decided to start vomiting everywhere, too. Magically — by which I mean through liberal application of sub-minimum wage inmate labor — the grotesque
piles of trash disappear by the time classes start Monday. And that’s fantastic. It’s a testament to University administration and the Office of Facility Services that we manage to hold and house this weekly tide of humanity and dispose of what must be literal tons of garbage, all while managing to look like a fully-functioning institution of learning again Monday morning. But should it really be necessary? Should it be such a source of amazement that our school was able to wrangle up enough manpower just to clean up our trash? For a lot of people, LSU football is a source of pride — and with good reason. We have an enormous, absurdly loud stadium, a history steeped in great stories and tradition and a constant carousel of great players. But when we’re always talking about legendary names like

Billy Cannon or the intangible aura of Death Valley, it’s easy to forget that LSU is, really, just a school. It’s a physical place. About 2,000 acres, with thousands of students who live here for months at a time. Even for those who don’t live on campus, this is our home. So imagine this: you and your 6,000 roommates are throwing a party, and more than a hundred thousand people from around the country are going to show up. You’re not going to throw your empties on the ground, are you? Surely you won’t piss down your own stairs? Hopefully not. Hopefully, you’re going to keep some semblance of selfcontrol. Because no matter how weird you like to get and no matter how fired up you are about what Katy Perry said you smelled like, you are a civilized, educated adult. And adults don’t
leave yard-high piles of trash in their own living rooms. It shouldn’t be any different for our campus after a football game. Admittedly, all of the blame and responsibility for this doesn’t fall on the students. Sure, it’s our campus to take care of, but on game days, we are in the minority. I’m sure there are a few groups of tailgaters that are really conscientious about their trash. They probably bring their own bags, separate recyclables and take everything to the appropriate receptacles when the day’s festivities have ended. If those people exist, I’m forever grateful to them. But their efforts are pretty much null balanced against the total carnage a game day wreaks on our campus. Most tailgates seem to come, have a great time, watch the game and pack up, leaving a wasteland of fallen purple-and-

Reality TV parents should care more about children than money 16 going on bubbe rebecca docter Entertainment Editor On Friday, all of our figurative tiaras were smashed when TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” was cancelled — not because the world was bored by Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s pageant-y antics, but because the network is “faithfully committed to the children’s ongoing comfort and well-being.” Rewind to Thursday, when TMZ reported Thompson’s mother, June “Mama June” Shannon, rekindled a relationship with a convicted child molester. While Shannon denies this relationship, TMZ posted a photo of Shannon interacting with
53-year-old Mark McDaniel. It’s no secret that reality TV shows can change the way people — especially children — behave. But though these changes are almost inevitable, it’s up to the child’s parents to control how far these changes go. It’s the parents’ responsibility to make sure their children are safe in the limelight. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West allegedly paid $500,000 for a body double for baby North so she wouldn’t be hounded by the press. The couple also chooses to limit North’s airtime on “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” Whatever you have to say about Mr. and Mrs. West, they clearly have their daughter’s best interests at heart. “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” unlike “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” isn’t centered around the family — it focuses
on Alana. Instead of watching to see the way an entire family operates, viewers watch the show to experience her snarky attitude and to have a laugh at her rolling in the mud while wearing a pageant dress that undoubtedly costs hundreds of dollars. In the past, Mama June has told the media that she puts away Alana’s earnings and doesn’t use them for daily life. But it’s plain to see that Alana is being harnessed — even exploited — for the sake of a half hour a week TV spot. It really comes down to using good judgment when it comes to parenting, and parents must decide how much is too much for the children of reality TV. The Duggars, of “19 Kids and Counting” fame, show all 19 of their children on screen, but none of them — as far as I
know — has been harmed in the making of the show. Sure, some may see Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s methods of raising their children to be extreme in a modern age, but it definitely doesn’t seem starring in a TV show has changed the path of the Duggar children’s lives. On the other hand, reality TV child stars like Milania Giudice — famous because of her “Real Housewife of New Jersey” mother, Teresa Giudice — have been severely affected by staying in the public eye. Smarting off to her parents and other adults, fame has gone to Milania’s carefully-primped head, making her feel better than all other 8-year-olds. But with parents like Teresa and Joe Giudice, Milania’s attitude doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The reality stars will serve 15 and 41 months,
respectively, for federal fraud charges. Mama June is no better of a parent for renewing relations with a convicted child molester. Putting your child in that sort of situation is nearly as bad as neglect, and if TLC thought it was bad enough to merit cancelling your daughter’s show — and her livelihood, for that matter — then you probably need to rethink your current love interest. All parenting situations are going to be different, but even with the added stress of appearing on a reality TV show, parents should have their child’s best interest at heart — not their child’s paycheck.

White House fence security measures should be tightened brace yourself ryan mcgehee Columnist Last Wednesday, Secret Service agents apprehended yet another man attempting to break into the White House. This was the latest event in a string of security breaches around what should be the most secure building on the planet. I am absolutely sick and tired of these fence-jumpers illegally entering the White House grounds. The U.S. cannot exist as a sovereign state unless our government fulfills its role and secures the White House fence. In the early days of our country, there was no need for a fence around the presidential mansion. The honest, hardworking people of this country knew it was probably best to stay out unless officially invited. Now, we are confronted with the clear and present danger of people who don’t understand that a spiked fence, guard house and rooftop snipers generally mean you shouldn’t try to break in. We could speculate for days on why people are trying to break into the White House. At worst, they are attempting to cause harm to administration officials. Maybe they’re trying to reenact “Olympus has Fallen.”Or they could be card-carrying members of the lefty, UN-backed globalist movement, seeking to push their no borders or fences agenda.
Then again, maybe they are attempting to sneak in undetected and take a job as a chef or landscaper for below average pay, stealing the jobs of White House staffers to support their families outside the fenced-in grounds. Whatever their reasoning, they are flagrantly violating our laws, and upon capture, they should be immediately kicked off of the grounds and subject to harsh punishment. We simply cannot sustain a policy of amnesty for these fence-jumpers. The most recent one, Dominic Adesanya of Maryland, went as far as kicking a Secret Service guard dog to avoid capture. That’s right. He kicked a dog that was just following its training because some jerk with no regard for the law decided to trespass in a high security area. Clearly, security measures around the White House need to increase. For starters, let’s place military units around the entirety of the fence while we make improvements. Nothing says ‘keep out’ quite like an Abrams tank. Once we have boots on the ground, we must consider all options. Obviously, we should not double, but triple the height of the existing fence. It should then be electrified. 10,000 volts should do nicely. I must now echo the sentiments of congressional candidate Lenar Whitney. If we can secure the few miles of border between North and South Korea, why can’t we secure our own? The answer, of course, is the presence of tens of thousands of landmines and a permanent U.S. military garrison.
Jacquelyn Martin / The Associated Press
Recently, several people have tried to hop the fence that surrounds the White House in Washington, D.C. I say we apply that logic to securing the White House. Would-be intruders would have a rude awakening and dismembering, should they try to make their way up the lawn. When we finally have a 100 percent secure fence, then perhaps we can have a national conversation about loosening restrictions on entry to the White House, or even allowing certain
former fence-jumpers back in. However, until we turn off the faucet of would-be assailants and residents of the political fringe, we will be fighting an uphill battle. What good is a fence if people can just scale over it like a hurdle at a track meet? Our government must act to lockdown the perimeter of the White House before the
front foyer is totally filled with unwanted guests. No amnesty, no fencejumping, no dog-kicking, and by God, no compromise. Ryan McGehee is a 21-yearold political science, international studies and history major from Zachary, Louisiana. You can reach him on Twitter @JRyanMcGehee.

Monday, October 27, 2014 vannoy, from page 1 Two months later, Vannoy is urging students to become better acquainted with the association. Starting next year, the Alumni Association will work with Bengal Bound and STRIPES to educate incoming freshmen on services the association has to offer through its chapters comprising mostly LSU alumni. When students graduate or travel to unfamiliar cities, Vannoy said they can use resources from local chapters on where to apply for jobs, where to live and even where to meet up for crawfish boils and gameday viewings. “It’s just a great way to get introduced to that city and town and people who have the same passion for LSU,” Vannoy said. “That’s primarily why we stay close to the students, so that when they become alums, there’s a good place for them to go.” The association also funds hundreds of student scholarships, provides stipends for faculty research and organizes events like the annual Tiger
Band reunion, which featured 355 alumni marching at halftime during LSU’s Oct. 18 football game against the University of Kentucky. Vannoy, who graduated from the University of West Florida with a degree in business management, first came to the University in 1981 after working as a real estate broker in Pensacola. Vannoy said he was the second person on campus hired to do fundraising. “That’s really changed a lot,” Vannoy said. In 2010, the association succeeded in an $800 million campaign for LSU, surpassing its initial goal of $750 million. The effort was in collaboration with the Tiger Athletic Foundation and the LSU Foundation, the University’s two other major fundraising organizations. Vannoy said all three bodies work collaboratively to raise money for LSU. While the Alumni Association is in charge of grassroots donations and alumni contact, Vannoy said, the Tiger Athletic

The Daily Reveille Foundation keeps the University up to speed in the arms race of collegiate athletics. “When you’re in the Southeastern Conference, you better stay up,” Vannoy said. “If you don’t raise that money and get that done, the state doesn’t have enough money to fund that, so you just fall behind, and then recruiting’s not good and you just become mediocre.” Vannoy said the LSU Foundation handles larger donations from big business and wealthier alumni. “They’re the multi-milliondollar fundraisers on campus,” Vannoy said. “That’s where the big endowments are.” Vannoy said part of the association’s role is to make up for shortcomings in the state’s higher education budget allocations. “The funding from the state is getting lower and lower and lower,” Vannoy said. “When I first came, state funding was about 64 percent of the budget.

Les lost his sister Ann Hope Browne in 2011 after a car crash while she was on a sales call in Addis, Louisiana.

The endowment’s interest income will help pay for the discount in tuition and free the state or University from the burden of financing the reduction in costs. “We need to show our alums that live all over the world that we want that legacy to continue,” Vannoy said. “We want you to send your children back to LSU.”

D E T T I M M O C WE’RE LSU IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING SEXUAL VIOLENCE SURVIVORS BY PROVIDING ROBUST RESOURCES AND SERVICES TO MEET THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. It’s our shared responsibility to create and maintain a campus environment in which sexual violence against men and women is not tolerated and to intervene in a safe way when we see a risky situation unfolding. It could be something as simple as asking for the time to divert attention. Standing up to intervene not only helps foster safety, but sends the message that this kind of behavior is not acceptable in our community. Being an active bystander helps to shape our campus community into one where respect, consent and responsibility are valued. Talk to your friends, practice ways to intervene because it’s everyone’s responsibility.
