Yale lecturer speaks at French House BY SCOTT GRISWOLD @Griswold_ii

Students gather for the 100 Black Movement event in Greek Theater story by JAKEYLA CHAVIS

@theeyoungqueen The 100 Black Movement has been a trend among black communities at various HBCUs, first starting as 100 Black Men In Suits, then incorporating 100 Black Women In Dresses. Black University students gathered together for the 100 Black Movement yesterday at the Greek Amphitheater at 4 p.m. The movement was created as a form of activism started by two Prairie View A&M University students. “It was a challenge designed to promote awareness that African-American young men can unite to create a positive impact,” University business management senior and event coordinator Chase

Warner said. The challenge serves to show a side of African-American culture that is not typically documented, said junior Reginald Singletary, president of the Baylor NAACP chapter. Students congregated at the Greek Amphitheater dressed to impress. Individual and group pictures were taken of men and women — first separately, then together. Warner said African-American men from Stephen F. Austin, Prairie View A&M, University of Houston and Lamar University have also posted photos of themselves in suits, united against negative generalizations and violent stereotypes.

Norma Thompson, a senior humanities lecturer at Yale University, bemoaned the decline of “adult books” on Monday in the University’s French House. Thompson was the first of three lecturers in the Inaugural Millennial Classics series, sponsored by the Eric Voegelin Institute and the University’s Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College. “It’s good to reflect on our mortality, and books take us there,” Thompson said. Thompson received her Ph.D. in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and has published several books. One of which, titled “Ship of State,” explores political theories of philosophers ranging from Homer to Machiavelli. Her lecture analyzed the works of other philosophers and posed the question: “Can you learn more from a person or from a book?” Thompson said she began asking that question about a decade ago. “The seniors [at Yale] only ever gave one category of answer — you can learn more from a person,” Thompson said. “The reputation of the book has suffered. It seems anonymous, distant, cold — for which reasons college bookstores now sell sweatshirts and shot glasses.”

Students brew beer, make ice cream in food preservation class BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker A University professor is helping food science students prepare for the real world by having them brew beer in class. Subramaniam Sathivel teaches NSF 4075, a food preservation course in which students learn the science behind fermentation methods, including brewing craft beer. Students also learn how to make ice cream, yogurt, milk powder and other fermented snack products. Sathivel said he tries to

make the class as fun as possible, integrating theory with application. By enabling students to act out classroom lectures first-hand, they retain information more efficiently than they would just studying the material, he said. “I want my students to learn hands-on,” Sathivel said. “It’s a key, because the class should also be fun. In the morning, I’m teaching theories, and in the evening, [students] are doing it.” Though Sathivel has taught at the University for nine years, he’s only been teaching the brewing lab for three. Primarily upper-level

students and graduate students are enrolled in the course. “The demand for food science and technology graduates is continuous. It doesn’t go [away], because we all need food,” Sathivel said. Food science senior Ian Moppert said in class, students learn about the industrial processes of food preservation, then the scaleddown version of what they can do. Prior to participating in the lab, Moppert realized he wanted to become a brewmaster, so Sathivel’s class was a helpful experience.

MOVEMENT, from page 1 Being that the event is more prominent among HBCUs, LSU NAACP president Monturious Howard said he and Warner felt it was even more necessary to host the event at a predominantly white institution. “We want to share in the movement with our HBCU brothers and sisters and spark empowerment in not only people on this campus, but outside the campus as well,” Howard said. TV and film senior Oluwaseyi Bamgbola said there were representatives from almost all black organizations on campus. “The significance was to get black student leaders to come together and show solidarity about the image that is made of black youth in the country and to prove stereotypes wrong,” Bamgbola said. Bamgbola said he feels the event served to create positive dialogue about the black image and how far the black community has come. African and African-American studies freshman Zuwena

Esterling said that although not as many people came out as she would have liked, the event went well. “I think the significance of the event was to show people that we’re more than just college students. We’re activists in a sense, and we actually care about what’s going on in our communities,” she said. Interdisciplinary Studies senior and event photographer Mark Landry said he took on the project to support the black community, especially after the Alton Sterling shooting which occurred over the summer. “I think these photos will bring positive images of black youth to the forefront,” Landry said. The 100 Black Men In Suits and 100 Black Women In Dresses hashtags have been trending on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram since the start of the semester. Howard said he hopes to contribute to the movement with these images and bring greater awareness to black people’s successes rather than their downfalls.

“Being able to actually get the hands-on experience helps you learn the knowledge a little bit better, just because you have something to apply it to in your mind,” Moppert said. Although home brewing sounds complicated, Moppert said breaking the process down into individual steps makes the lab easier to understand. Sathivel and Moppert said food science is one of the University’s best-kept secrets and is underrated as a field of study and profession. Moppert said his class size averages 15 to 16 students, making it one of the smaller areas of study offered at the University. Sathivel also teaches food engineering systems for the LSU School of Nutrition and Food Sciences and is conducting research in probiotics and developing new processing technology to improve the shelf-life of food at the Ag Center.

Thompson said students can probably learn more from a book than a person, saying she learned more from Plato’s “Republic” than any teacher. “But I needed those teachers of Plato to learn from that book,” Thompson said. “And I relied on them for just about everything I learned.” Thompson credits the declining interest in books to the rising popularity of various screens. The advancing technology of smartphones provides more instant entertainment, she said. “I’m just a person speaking in a little bullet of time, and underlying how a work like [“Republic”] invites you to come back and think again,” she said.

Standing Guard LSU working toward finding defensive identity BY JACOB HAMILTON

@jac0b_hamilt0n

Getting buckets earns all the hype, but it’s keeping points off the board that makes the difference. The LSU basketball team learned that last season. The Tigers finished second in the Southeastern Conference in scoring with 78.8 points per game. But they missed the Tournament because they posted a sub.500 record when allowing 75 points or greater, which accounted for 71 percent of their losses. When LSU held opponents under that threshold, though, coach Johnny Jones’ squad won 11 out of 15 contests. “One of the areas we feel like we really have to improve on is on the defensive side of the floor,” Jones said. “You have to play as a team, and that’s a commitment that we have to make as a group.” Gone are four of the top six scorers from last season, but the Tigers made a concerted effort to establish a defensive

LSU starters return to practice Monday BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ On Monday, junior tailback Leonard Fournette practiced for the first time since Ed Orgeron became LSU’s interim coach on Sept. 25. Since Fournette’s lingering ankle injury — which happened during fall camp and worsened against Wisconsin — Orgeron has become LSU’s first coach to win both of his first games by 30 or more points in the Southeastern Conference era. And, he’s done it without the once-Heisman trophy favorite. “I expect Leonard to be back this week,” Orgeron said during his weekly Monday news conference. “I expect him to practice today and all week.” OFFENSE In front of Fournette, LSU’s offensive line is seeing some new faces again. Starting right guard Josh Boutte was absent from Monday’s “Tell the Truth” practice. Garrett Brumfield, a sophomore offensive lineman from Baton Rouge, filled Boutte’s spot beside Maea Teuhema at right guard. Against Southern Miss — without injured left guard Will Clapp (shoulder) and right tackle Toby Weathersby (ankle) — senior center Ethan Pocic started at right tackle and Teuhema played snaps at left guard. Clapp returned to practice Monday at left guard, like Orgeron suggested he might that morning. “Obviously, having Will back helps us,” — “not only his toughness, but his leadership. He’s a good player.” Orgeron did not say if Clapp will play this weekend, but suggested a return to practice was forthcoming.

Fournette expected to play versus Ole Miss; Weathersby, questionable BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Junior running back Leonard Fournette is expected make his return Saturday versus No. 23 Ole Miss, LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron said. Orgeron said Fournette has been heavily involved with the team and that he even gave a speech to the team at halftime in LSU’s 45-10 win versus Southern Miss. “You could feel the fire in him,” Orgeron said. “I guess

the injury took a toll on him mentally and physically. He felt he couldn’t help his team. He wanted to help his team. He wanted to be a part of a few things going on. He did help me at halftime. He helped me on the sideline, and I know he’s going to help us with the ball in his hand.” Fournette has missed the last two games and three total this season — against Jacksonville State, Missouri and Southern Miss — because of a lingering ankle injury he suffered

in fall camp and re-injured in LSU’s season opener against Wisconsin. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound tailback seemed to re-injure his ankle again in LSU’s 1813 loss to Auburn and has not practiced in three weeks. Orgeron said he isn’t sure how much Fournette will be used against Ole Miss, but that will let him practice this week and “see how it goes.” In the three games he’s

MARK MADE New York Fashion Week makeup artist finds home in Baton Rouge BY CYNTHEA CORFAH @LacedInCyn photos courtesy of KATRINA LIZA

While most makeup artists have their own clientele base — weddings, proms, high-fashion — makeup artist and director Katrina Liza’s clients are as diverse as her abilities. Liza, 27, has been doing makeup for as long as she can remember. She said she always did her friend’s makeup for homecoming and other dances, and she never forgot the moment she realized she wanted to work with makeup professionally. “I was in the kitchen reading a magazine, and I came across a L’Oreal ad featuring Beyoncé,” Liza said. “She had purple and blue eyeshadow on at the same time, and I was obsessed with it. My mom suggested that I go upstairs and try to recreate the look. Ever since then, I’ve hit the ground running.” After her second time doing makeup for New York Fashion Week in 2015, Liza was offered the position of makeup director. As well as leading the other makeup artists, Liza got to work closely with the designers to find the best looks to suit their clothing lines. “Every artist backstage — there were 50 of us — had to come to me to check their models before leaving the room,” Liza said. “It’s so fast-paced and such an adrenaline rush for nine straight hours, and then you’re drained completely afterward.” Liza received the 2015 and 2016 Best Hair and Makeup award by The Knot, a personal wedding planning company. She also received the

page 4

Best of Hair and Makeup award from the Baton Rouge Wedding Industry in 2015. Although makeup is her speciality, Liza graduated from Aveda Institute for cosmetology in 2012. She wanted to educate herself on hair in case it became necessary for her work. “Ultimately, I wanted to be able to save the day if the hair person didn’t show up on set or at a shoot,” Liza said. “In the long run, the full cosmetology license has gotten me many more credible gigs because I do both hair and makeup, as well.” Originally from Cobleskill, New York, Liza moved to Louisiana in 2006 with her friend, a Louisiana native. Liza instantly fell in love with the culture of New Orleans and decided to reside in Baton Rouge while traveling to cities such as Los Angeles and New York for makeup assignments. In addition to the work she performs for her clients, Liza has a large Instagram presence. With more than 30,000 followers, Liza consistently updates her profile with bold and distinctive looks. This October, she is participating in a 31-day Halloween Makeup Challenge during which she showcases intricate and artistic looks each day. “I often collaborate on fun makeup ideas with other artists on Instagram,” Liza said. “It’s awesome to feel like I have a family of people I don’t even know personally on Instagram. They are my biggest supporters.”

Black-on-black crime argument is irrelevant to police brutality MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS @ClarkePerkins PSA: Black-on-black crime is not an excuse nor is it a valid argument for law enforcement killing innocent black men and women. Everyone needs to realize this — white, Asian, Hispanic and even black people. I hear this argument in the black community almost as much as I hear it in the white one. Most black people are convicted for their crimes, which is evident in the racial composition of American prisons. But when an officer kills a black person, it’s

like pulling teeth for the officer to be convicted. According to The Huffington Post, “One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life.” That just shows this country has no problem throwing a black man in jail. People fail to realize the African-American community isn’t hurt, angered and disgusted with officers killing their members just because of the actual death. Yes, these killings happened and they are devastating and heartbreaking, but unfortunately, there is no way to completely rid law enforcement of racist and untrained officers, so incidents

police in early July. According to ThinkProgress, “In 2016, several officers have gone to trial, but none of them received jail time.” That is a problem. Not to mention, black on black crime stems from other systematic racial inequalities: poverty, low incomes, unemployment and many other factors. So, who’s really to blame here? Black-on-black crime is clearly an issue, and that’s being worked on. But there’s absolutely no reason so many African-Americans should be dying at the hands of cops. That argument is just a way to point the finger at the victim, all while taking away from the Black Lives Matter message. So when people are screaming and using the hashtag Black Lives Matter, don’t attempt to combat it with the black-on-black crime argument. It’s annoying, aggravating and irrelevant.

like this are bound to happen. However, the main problem is the lack of justice served. That’s why the Black Lives Matter movement was created. If George Zimmerman would’ve been convicted for the murder of Trayvon Martin, the movement wouldn’t have been created — at least not when it was. “I created #BlackLivesMatter ... as a call to action for black people after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was post-humously placed on trial for his own murder and the killer, George Zimmerman, was not held accountable for the crime he committed,” cofounder of the movement Alicia Garza said. A study by The Guardian shows that 838 people have been killed by police in 2016 alone. Many of the deceased were African-Americans and 16 of them were killed in Louisiana, including Alton Sterling, who was gunned down by Baton Rouge

Tuesday, October 18, 2016 DEFENSE, from page 3 identity instead of replacing the points it lost. Sophomore guard Antonio Blakeney, this year’s likely No. 1 scoring option who tallied 18.6 points per game after his breakout 31-point performance against Mississippi State, said while he worked on his ball handling and playmaking skills during the offseason, heavy focus went on his on- and off-ball defense. “We’re harking on the defensive end,” Blakeney said. “Last year we were real good at scoring. We were the second leader in the SEC in scoring, but we gave up a lot of points.” There were a lot of points surrendered, indeed. LSU finished the season ranked 288th in the country with its defense allowing 77.1 points per game, which is why the Tigers made a concerted effort to establish a defensive identity first. Bringing in Lee College transfers Duop Reath and Branden Jenkins was the biggest step in that process. Reath is a defense-first big man the Tigers sorely missed last season. The 6-foot-10 South Sudan native boasts a 7-foot-2 wingspan that swatted 2.5 shot attempts and corralled 8.4 rebounds per game during his sophomore season at Lee. Jones said Reath is an

incredible athlete who has filled the role as the rim protector his defense needs. “I take pride in defense,” Reath said. “That’s the only way you can win games. Me being a big guy inside, I’ve got to protect the rim.” Jenkins will be on the sideline to start the season with a torn meniscus he had repaired in August, but he will more than fill Tim Quarterman’s shoes on defense. He finished eighth in Region 14 last season with 50 steals. “Branden Jenkins brings a great deal of speed,” Jones said. “Probably one of the most tenacious on-ball defenders that we’ve had since I’ve been here. He’s extremely fast, lengthy. He has a desire to defend.” Jones said the returners understand the importance of excelling on defense as well and have made waves improving in their own right. He singled out sophomore guard Brandon Sampson, who he touted as the team’s best perimeter defender early on last season before tapering off as the season progressed, as a difference-maker. If all the guys buy in completely and their chemistry is there, it will assuredly culminate in improved defensive play, he said. “With the commitment and with the right chemistry, we can be a better defensive basketball team,” Jones said.

ORGERON, from page 3 played this season, Fournette rushed for 386 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore running back Derrius Guice, Fournette’s replacement, leads LSU with 564 rushing yards and six touchdowns in three starts. Against Southern Miss, Guice became LSU’s fastest running back to hit the 1,000-yard mark on 113 carries. OTHER INJURY UPDATES Sophomore offense guard Will Clapp did not play in LSU’s 45-10 win versus Southern Miss on Saturday. Last week Orgeron said Clapp “would be out for a while,” but said Monday that he’ll try to practice this week. “We expect Will Clapp to be back at practice this week,” Orgeron said. “How much he can move, we’ll see. Having Will Clapp helps us.” Clapp and sophomore offensive lineman Maea Teuhema were listed as alternates in starting left guard position on LSU’s official depth chart. Teuhema, who has played left tackle, left guard and right tackle this season, started in place of Clapp last week. Sophomore right tackle Toby Weathersby and sophomore tight end Foster Moreau are both “questionable” to play against

Ole Miss, Orgeron said. Weathersby is hampered by an ankle injury he suffered in the Tigers 23-20 win versus Mississippi State. The 6-foot5, 302-pound offensive lineman started in two games this season before being injured. Moreau hasn’t played because of an undisclosed injury. “Toby’s feeling a lot better,” Orgeron said. “He’s going to go out and do a couple things this week. He’s questionable for the game. There’s a slight possibility that both of them will play.” LSU USING 2015 LOSS AS MOTIVATION LSU’s last visit to Oxford wasn’t one to remember. But Orgeron is using last season’s 38-17 defeat as a motivation tool before they face the Rebels on Saturday. “These guys beat us last year in every aspect of the game,” Orgeron said. “I remember the game. They were on fire. We want to be on fire this year.” The Tigers have won their last three matchups with Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium but aren’t overlooking the Rebels, who rank No. 5 in the Southeastern Conference in total offense. “This is a tough and very good Ole Miss football team,” Orgeron said.

PRACTICE REPORT, from page 3 Clapp wore a bulky right shoulder brace in Monday’s practice and was seen in an even bulkier right shoulder sling last week. LSU’s first string offensive line Monday (left tackle to right tackle): K.J. Malone, Clapp, Pocic, Bru field, Teuhema. Tight end Foster Moreau (undisclosed injury) was also dressed out for LSU’s practice, yet he did not participate in team drills. Moreau, Clapp, Fournette and Weathersby did not play Saturday against Southern Miss. On the sideline, Moreau worked on calisthenic drills and ran and jogged during team drills. DEFENSE On Monday morning, LSU’s weekly depth chart featured free safety John Battle officially replacing senior Rickey Jefferson at the position. Battle filled the position with the first team defense in Monday’s practice, as Jefferson is expected to miss many weeks of practice and play because of a broken leg. Additionally, nose tackle Travonte Valentine practiced Monday after missing LSU’s 45-10 win versus Southern Miss for reasons related to practice, Orgeron said. Valentine did not play because Orgeron said he was “Just not good enough practice, I just wanted to set a standard with him that he understands he needs to practice better to play.”

UNIVERSITY MEN REACT TO COVERGIRL’S NEWEST SPOKESPERSON BY DAVID BEERMAN @dabeermans

For the first time in its history, CoverGirl’s newest spokesperson is not a girl. Instead, it’s 17-year-old Instagram celebrity and makeup artist James Charles, who was featured in an Oct. 11 CoverGirl video, during which he spoke about who he is and why the title is a dream come true for him. Unsurprisingly, the announcement spurred varied responses among University men.

“I guess it’s weird, in a way, because he’s being a girl genderwise, but not sex-wise. I think it’s just an opinion on what people think, and CoverGirl went with what it thinks as a company.” Joseph Houth ISDS junior

“I think that anyone can choose what they want to do. I don’t have any restrictions on that. Honestly, it is up to the person. There shouldn’t be any regulations or prohibitions about it.” John Estrada petroleum engineering graduate student

“Before the UNO-Innsbruck program my major was undeclared and now I have a clear picture of what I want my future to be like. My greatest learning experience was discovering that I am capable of being on my own, away from everything familiar, and becoming stronger from it.” Eva Burch, LSU Student
