Students join in progressive network
BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ In the wake of widespread protests following the Nov. 8 presidential election, posters were hung around campus Monday morning promoting a new nationwide initiative called “Students for a Just America.” The initiative, which was founded at the University of Houston by Jacob Foreman last week, has now spread to more than 20 college and university campuses across the nation. At the University, Monique LeBlanc organized the initiative. “Community organizing has always really been the foundation of the progressive movement,” Foreman said. “If you look at community organizers like Saul Alinsky, movements like the Civil Rights Movement, the workers’ rights movements in Chicago and New York … they’ve all been based around community organizing.” In 1960, Students for a Democratic Society was founded at the University of Michigan. This student-led activist group was the driving force for many student movements throughout the ’60s and ’70s, he said. “The issue now, though, is that presence doesn’t really exist,” Foreman said. “There isn’t as much of an effective community organizing network on the left at all, but especially not with students.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
BATON ROUGE ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK early 50 new business start-ups and concepts from the Baton Rouge area took advantage of the networking opportunities provided during the opening night of the Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week, or BREW, at the Louisiana Emerging Technology Center on Monday. LSU Office of Innovation & Technology Commercialization, Louisiana Innovation Park, Nexus LA and the Louisiana Technology Park hosted the event. It was also produced in partnership with The University Financing Foundation, or TUFF, and Sandbox communities. Andrew Maas, the Director of the LSU Office of Innovation & Technology Commercialization, said he was responsible for spinning out companies around
Whether you believe in climate change or not, litter is an eyesore. Last week I went on a run around campus, and I was repulsed at the amount of litter in the Corporation Canal where East Chimes Street turns into Carlotta Street. It is unarguable that litter is bad and that recycling is good. With a campus as large as ours it is even more important to properly dispose of our trash in order to keep LSU safe and beautiful. If you have ever tailgated on campus, you are well aware that there is a lot of drinking both from bottles and cans. If you go walk on the Parade Ground after the game has started, you will see litter everywhere, and you may even see individuals working to collect all of this trash. LSU makes donations to groups around Baton Rouge to help clean the campus and the stadium the day of games and the day after. With the help of these volunteer hours and individuals who recycle throughout the day, LSU was able to win the 2015 GameDay Recycling Challenge, leading the nation in total recycling with 86,400 lbs. “Together, the participating colleges and universities recycled or reused 2.1 million pounds of bottles, cans, paper, cardboard and other materials, in addition to composting or recovering 457,000 pounds of food organics. Diverting these materials from the landfill prevented the release of

Delta Literary Journal to host ‘Teen Angst Night’ Thursday
BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker Those aching to return to their years of teenage angst will have the opportunity to reminisce on past clichés at the Delta Literary Journal’s “Teen Angst Night.” The Delta Literary Journal, a University undergraduate organization, will be hosting its fall fundraiser, “Teen Angst Night,” at The Parlor in downtown Baton Rouge on Thursday. Admission is $10, and entertainment will include live music and poetry readings
throughout the night, along with an open keg. Proceeds will go toward the printing of the journal. The Delta prints annually in the spring semester and accepts submissions. The staff of student submission readers and editors collaborate to produce the literary journal. This year, the submission period will open before the end of the fall semester, which is earlier than in previous years. The journal content consists of poetry and prose fiction and nonfiction. The journal’s student staff
fundraises all of its printing costs, as the Delta receives no departmental funding. The average cost of printing is around $800, but it can vary from $500 to $1200 for as many as 500 copies. English and anthropology senior Meredith Aulds is the co-editor of the journal. While the journal relies heavily on the fall fundraiser, she said it’s also an opportunity to create something from the ground up. “The journal creatively is

page 2 JUST AMERICA, from page 1 This mentality is what prompted Foreman to create “Students for a Just America.” The initiative’s first step of hanging flyers began Sunday night on campuses around the nation. The flyers included information about the organization, a QR code to its Facebook page and a controversial quote from President-elect Donald Trump. The action was met with mixed reactions based on which the University, Foreman said. “It really kinda depends on the university,” Foreman said. “Here at [University of Houston], there are a few posters still up … but the majority that I put up were gone. I know the majority that were put up at [University of Oklahoma] were gone and pretty much all of them [that] were put up at [University of Missouri] were gone.” At the University, a

Tuesday, November 15, 2016 majority of the flyers were also taken down by Monday morning, LeBlanc said. On the other hand, at schools like Harvard University and New York University, the flyers have continued to stay posted, which Foreman said he expected. As Trump has not yet taken office, the goal of the initiative, and its first movement with the anti-Trump flyers, is to get as many people involved as possible so that when Trump assumes the position and beings creating policy, a broad, impactful network is already established, Foreman said. Students for Trump, a student-led organization at more than 100 universities across the nation created in an effort to get young people to vote for Trump, is one organization on campus not in favor of the “Students for a Just America” initiative. Students for Trump was the organization behind bringing Milo Yiannopoulos to the
University back in September. “This isn’t just for LSU, either, this is for comments for the whole protests across the nation as well,” said David Walters, the ambassador for the University’s chapter of Students for Trump. “The people that are whining and they’re crying and they’re worried about ‘Oh what’s going to happen to us?’ … not shit’s going to happen to you.” As for the future of “Students for a Just America,” Foreman hopes to create a more established network. “Right now, we’re trying really not to focus on protests,” Foreman said. “I don’t feel like adding our voice to protests would necessarily be beneficial to the protests or our organization, so that’s why right now we’re really trying to focus on getting new people involved and really just kind of hammering down on what is our mission, how are we going to be structured, all that sort of stuff.”

BREW organizers maintained the bottom floor near the entrance and they sought notify attendants of their upcoming events. Capital providers attended in search of companies to invest money in. Service providers, such as design, marketing and social media companies, were there to make connections with other start-ups so they could service them. But entrepreneurs comprised the majority of those in attendance. Maas said the event is free for exhibitors and attendants because new businesses and companies are unable to shell out great amounts of money. Therefore, the event is supported by sponsors

Leonard Fournette is expected to be ‘fine’ before Tigers’ bout with Florida
As LSU meets Florida (7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference), the chance to claim the selfproclaimed “Defensive Back University” title is up for grabs again as LSU has defeated Florida in three-straight years. The Tigers (6-3, 4-2 SEC) will host the Gators at noon on Saturday at Tiger Stadium with a division-clinching opportunity on the line.

A glimmer of hope dawned upon Pelicans nation on Friday. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported point guard Jrue Holiday’s return was “imminent,” with plans to suit up no later than Nov. 18 against the Trail Blazers. It was lit, but much was left to be desired in the form of finer details. What follows is a more detailed and unfortunately inaccurate depiction fused with made-up quotes of Holiday’s grand reveal to his teammates. New Orleans wrapped up practice, which was noticeably without vigor because the Pels won their first game the previous night, so the next taste of victory would surely be another month away. Man, being the Western Conference’s bottom feeder sucked. They couldn’t help but wonder if they’d be in the early playoff picture if Holiday was playing. But he was out indefinitely, caring for his newborn and wife, who are precisely 6 billion times more important than basketball. What happened next was eerily similar — but definitely not ripped off — to “The Waterboy” scene when Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime of the Bourbon Bowl, re-energizing

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ No. 21 Florida has this game circled. No. 16 LSU was originally scheduled to travel to Gainesville on Oct. 8. Then Hurricane Matthew made landfall, and rumors pinned the Gators as “scared” to play LSU as the game was eventually re-scheduled for Nov. 19 in Baton Rouge. “Yeah, that part bothered me a little bit,” Florida safety Nick Washington said Monday to reporters in Gainesville. “They think we had a choice of
avoiding this game when there’s a hurricane. Not just me, but a lot of my teammates — a lot of us had family in places where the hurricane was hitting. It kind of bothered us a little bit, but we had to let it go.” And it didn’t take long before Washington said the Gainesville-based team was the real “DBU.” “The LSU game is one of the biggest games for us each season,” Washington said. “I mean, we’re going to go into it with a little more of a chip on our shoulder because what’s been said in the media and whatnot. I know we’re ready to go.”
MEN’S GOLF
LSU inks three top-20 recruits to program on National Signing Day BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR Another National Signing Day has come and gone for the LSU men’s golf team, and coach Chuck Winstead and his staff are optimistic about the program’s future. On Nov. 9, Philip Barbaree, Trey Winstead and Jacob Bergeron signed National Letters of Intent to join LSU’s team next season. The three signees are local players hailing from Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Slidell, respectively, and each is a top-20 ranked talent.
“We’re excited to have these guys join the team next season,” Winstead said in a press release. “I believe they will represent our program in a first-class way both on and off the course.” Barbaree enjoyed a successful run at C.E. Byrd High School, where he won the United States Junior Amateur Championship and was named the American Junior Golf Association Rolex Junior Player of the Year his sophomore season. Barbaree also capped off his junior year of high school by winning the 2015 AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions.
“Philip is a guy who has the potential to play a positive role on the team the minute he steps foot on campus,” Coach Winstead said. Next year’s squad will also feature someone particularly close to Winstead. Trey, Winstead’s son, will play for LSU next season, and the coach said he is looking forward to having him on the team. “It’s obviously a unique situation to coach your son,” Winstead said. “Trey is a tough competitor, and I look forward to seeing his college career unfold first-hand.”

Student artists showcase, sell pottery as fundraiser BY RAYKAEL MORRIS @Raykael_Morris
University students use their ceramics skills to make handmade pottery pieces to raise funds for the art program as part of The Ceramic Artist Student Association’s bi-annual Ceramic Art and Pottery Sale. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day this week until Thursday. The pottery sale helps the association buy new equipment as well as raise funds for students to attend the national conference for education in the ceramic arts, and an on-campus visiting artists program, according to the University art and design website. The Ceramic Artist Student Association has
no set monetary goal for the fundraising sale. Fifth-year art student Joelle Ferrara, who had several pieces in the pottery sale, said the fundraising event helps build a sense of community among students in the ceramics and sculpture program. “Any and everybody can put their artwork in, so it’s a really good community builder,” she said. Ferrara said the sale offers a wide range of pieces that vary from simple to elaborate pottery. “It’s really nice to see the mix of pieces in the pottery sale each semester,” she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
University must address repercussions of presidential election
Last week, The Daily Reveille reported that University students disturbed by Donald Trump’s electoral coup d’etat met in a safe space to offer one another emotional support and have an “unapologetic conversation” about our nation’s current state of affairs. Since the meeting, my fellow attendees have endured vicious attacks from self-described “Trump trolls.” In walking around campus, I’ve heard a number of these Trump trollers refer to students suffering from PTSD (Post-Trump Stress Disorder) as “delicate snowflakes,” “Clinton cry babies,” “Crying Cosbys” (not sure why) and “whiny little b*tches.” This sort of hurtful language and unrestrained speech has absolutely no place in our democracy or on a campus as diverse and as respectful of alternative views and free speech as ours. I, as a Chilean refugee, selfidentify as a progressive and as a Hispanic (gender TBD), and I was one of these “delicate snowflakes” whose fragile heart was shattered by Trump’s use of the democratic process to secure his authoritarian rise to power. Tragically, this “delicate little flower’s” healing process has yet to take root amid the toxic genetically modified soil that currently infects our campus. Fortunately, I have a simple solution for bringing about true healing and social justice on our campus. The University should grant those of us who have been traumatized by Trump’s takeover
RYAN MCCARBLE / The Daily Reveille

The LSU AgCenter Greenhouse would be the ideal space, given our widely shared love for the environment and aversion to carbon dioxide and genetically modified foods. But the University owes us more than just an environmentally-friendly safe space. It also owes us a sense of security
from outsiders who might seek to infringe on our way of life. I therefore propose the University build a wall around our greenhouse, lined with bubble wrap from the inside and sharp shards of glass on the outside, to keep out people who aren’t like us and therefore might threaten our delicate sensibilities. It should be a big, beautiful wall. And it should have a big, beautiful door for those who would like to truly begin the emotional healing process. Most importantly, the University should make the college
Republicans pay for this wall. Let’s face it: the college Republicans aren’t sending their best and brightest to our campus. They’re sending marauders. They’re sending Trump trolls. Worst of all, they’re sending radical evangelical terrorists and it’s about time someone has the courage to use the term. That’s why I am bravely calling for a total and complete shutdown of all white privileged students entering our safe space until our University’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.
This is common sense, folks. We have to do it. To the extent we do allow any privileged white males into our safe space, we should subject them to extreme vetting. I’m talking big league. I realize these proposals might seem radical. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Our country and our campus is being stolen from us by citizens who think they can use the democratic process to achieve their desired ends. The world is changing too fast, and many of us feel like we can’t keep up. We can’t find jobs anymore. We don’t feel safe anymore. We don’t beat Alabama anymore. Donald Trump has taken the tiny snow globes we’ve become so accustomed to into his tiny Cheeto-covered hands and turned our world upside down. Simply put, this is not the sort of “change we should believe in.” If we truly want to make this campus and this country great again, I’m asking the progressive wing of the LSU student body to come together inside our isolated little echo chamber and get behind this wall. Behind this wall, we can feel safe again. And the only thing we’ll have to fear is freedom itself. Students of the LSU community, unite. We have nothing to lose but our change. Felipe Fuentes self-identifies as a 27-year-old non-matriculating student at Louisiana State University.
Battle for higher education funding only just beginning ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley OK, guys. The 2016 election is — finally — over, which means we now have to get to the real work at hand. No crying because your candidate lost. No sinking into a state of despair because all hope is lost and we just set our country back about 50 years and counting. (Oh, God. What have we done?) No. None of that. Amendment No. 2 on the Louisiana ballot failed and the Grad Act officially
expires after this year, which means colleges and universities cannot raise tuition without twothirds legislative approval. On the surface, we did well. Now, we have to act. This amendment failing only works if our state Legislature increases revenue for higher education, which means tax increases. Stay with me. I know proposing to increase taxes is sinful in this state, but we literally have no other choice unless we want universities to shut down. Every department except higher education and health care is protected by Louisiana’s constitution, meaning we cannot shift funding from other areas to
cover higher education’s shortfall, nor can we decrease funding in other departments. We have no more “waste, fraud and abuse” to get rid of in Louisiana’s budget. Our state is down to its skeleton when it comes to funding public goods and services. We have to increase taxes now. While no one likes higher taxes, our schools will not be open next year without this action. The legislative session begins April 10 at noon and ends June 8. Lawmakers have roughly two months to save higher education, and this session they are allowed to pass legislation on revenue and taxes. We have to pressure
them at every opportunity to do so. Whether we raise taxes or two-thirds of the legislature approves tuition raises, you and your family are going to feel some sort of financial effects. If we spread the cost of higher education to everyone, the effects will be far less severe. If not, then I hope your parents can fork over another $1,000 to the University. We don’t have the luxury of being complacent anymore. We have far too much at stake, and education is only the beginning. The time for action is now. Don’t just tweet at your representatives. Don’t make angry

The Ceramic Artist Student Association’s bi-annual Ceramic Art and Pottery Sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day this week until Thursday.
CERAMICS, from page 4 Art ceramics senior Catherine Velasquez has been helping with the fundraiser since her sophomore year and said it is nice for the community to see artwork that is handmade. She said the sale helps her slow down and enjoy the work that she is doing. “[We’ve] all taken so much time into every single one of these
pots,” she said. Nutrition senior Christy Kogos said she has attended the pottery sale for the past three semesters. She said she enjoys the different colors and shapes the pottery pieces have. “It’s not something that you can find anywhere,” she said. “This is really unique stuff, and [I] definitely want to support the local artist.”

EDGE, from page 4 Kehrer bought her first boutique the month before she graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2011. She was working as an intern at a local boutique when the owner decided to sell his business. With a background in fashion merchandising, Kehrer took out a loan and bought Change Clothes Boutique. “It was very scary taking out so much money I didn’t have,” Kehrer said. “I had never done that before, but without
[the loan] I wouldn’t be able to accomplish my dream. I was confident I would be able to pay it back in time, which I did.” Before purchasing Change Clothes Boutique, Kehrer had experience in a variety of jobs. In high school she was a lifeguard, a swim coach and a server at Qdoba. In college, Kehrer worked at a tanning salon, then at JCPenney as a visual specialist. While consistently working to make money in college, Kehrer spent her free time finding items at thrift
stores and garage sales to sell on eBay. Five years and two boutiques later, Kehrer’s work experience proved to pave her way to owning two successful businesses. With nearly 10,000 followers on Instagram and new looks posted daily, Change Clothes Boutique has largely expanded since Kehrer’s ownership began. Offering everything from trendy pieces to gameday wear, Edge Boutique does not only target college women, but is staffed by them as well. “Students can expect Edge to be a boutique with all of their fashion needs, with an awesome staff waiting to help them pick out the perfect outfits,” sales associate and psychology freshmen Valencia Cade said. Edge Boutique’s Instagram and Snapchat feature fun, lively photos and videos of Edge staff wearing the boutique’s latest garments. “We’ve received several compliments on the selections of clothes we carry and on the helpful attitudes of the student stylists,” sales associate and microbiology sophomore Madi Burke said. “All suggestions for next season’s items are considered, so I’m really excited to get to influence what other students can purchase from the store.” In addition to lively staff and social media, Kehrer’s Sphinx cat “Nair” can frequently be spotted at the store. In the near future, Kehrer plans to have pop-up shops for sororities and to continue hosting Instagram giveaways.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
LSU looks to improve defensive effort against Southern Miss BY SETH NIEMAN @seth_nieman After only surrendering 26 points in the second half versus Wofford in the Tigers’ 91-69 victory on Saturday, LSU coach Johnny Jones is hoping to carry the momentum versus Southern Miss on Tuesday. The Tigers host the Golden Eagles tonight at 7 p.m. in the PMAC. Southern Miss edged out a 101-96 double overtime victory against Tougaloo College on Friday. “We’re certainly looking
forward to seeing if we can build on the success of the second half of the first game, both offensively and defensively,” Jones said. One of the most notable differences between the two squads? Size. Sophomore forward Tim Rowe, who is listed as 6-foot-11, is the only player that stands above 6 feet and 7 inches for the Golden Eagles. LSU will look to its big men in the post, Duop Reath and Aaron Epps, to get the job done tonight. “They will try to post [Rowe]
up and force us to defend him on the block,” Jones said. “Duop will be tested, and we’re hopeful that Elbert Robinson can give us some positive minutes.” Reath excelled in his LSU debut against Wofford. The 6-foot-10 forward from Perth, Australia filled the box score with 23 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and three steals. Epps shot 3-4 from beyond the arc on his way to a game of 17 points and nine rebounds. Reath’s performance earned him Southeastern Conference Player of the Week.
“Duop Reath had a phenomenal offseason for us,” Jones said. “For him to put himself in position in his first college game to be listed as player of the week in our conference speaks volumes.” After allowing Wofford to shoot 7-for-13 from the 3-point line on Saturday in the first half, perimeter defense is an added emphasis for the Tigers. LSU will look to build its defensive performance in the second half, when it held Wofford to 1-of-9 shooting from three.
Seven players for Southern Miss scored in double figures in the Golden Eagles’ season opener, with Raheem Watts leading the way with 15 points and nine rebounds. Jones also mentioned Southern Miss’ ability to play up-tempo. “They’re a very fast team, they can drive the ball, and they’ve got guys who are spot-up shooters that can make plays as well,” Jones said. “They’re certainly a threat. It’s hard to get to 100 points, but they don’t seem to have any problem doing it.”

Trey attended University High, where he won back-to-back individual state championships in 2015 and 2016 and led the Cubs to a 2016 team title, scoring 4-under par in the state title. He also won the 2014 AJGA Junior at Southwind with a score of 1-under par 212 in the 54-hole event. Unlike fellow signees Barbaree and Winstead, Bergeron was homeschooled, so his amateur success comes solely from AJGA showcases. Bergeron competed in the 2015 AJGA Tournament of Champions, but his amateur golf career did not take off until 2016. Bergeron’s 2016 season saw six top-10 finishes in AJGA events, including a win in the Big “I” National Championship. “Jacob [Bergeron] had a real breakout last summer, and he has the talent to have a lot of success here,” Winstead said.
his teammates and propelling the Mud Dogs to victory. “Remember when we got Jrue, and I was so hyped that I’d finally have a competent teammate?” asked power forward Anthony Davis. “Me and Jrue really ball together. Man, it sure was nice to play with an All-Star instead of you scrubs.” “Remember when Jrue put that strap on Russell Westbrook?” asked rookie shooting guard Buddy Hield. “I was at Oklahoma back then. It was only like a 30 minute drive to Oklahoma City. Westbrook tried taking over, but Jrue made him shoot like 30 percent and forced six turnovers. I never seen nobody lock him down like that.” Indeed, they remembered. How could they forget their offensive quarterback and a top-seven defensive point guard in the league? Holiday’s services are vastly underrated, largely

string of reserve quarterbacks to wrap up its season. Florida senior Austin Appleby — who made his third career start at Florida in the Gators’ 20-7 win versus South Carolina on Saturday in place of sophomore Luke Del Rio (shoulder) — completed 17 of 21 passes for 201 yards with two touchdowns and one interception versus the Gamecocks. Appleby, like LSU quarterback Danny Etling, is a former

because he’s sat out nearly as many games as he’s played since New Orleans acquired him in 2013 for sixth overall pick Nerlens Noel. But when the 2013 All-Star suits up, he’s by far New Orleans’ secondbest player and an invaluable asset alongside Davis looking forward. His best basketball for the Pels came in the new year last season, when he was fully acclimated to coach Alvin Gentry’s system and mostly off his minutes restriction. Holiday averaged 19.5 points, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals in his final 39 games. Those numbers are square in the middle of Reggie Jackson’s and John Wall’s 2015-16 stats. Most importantly, he’s an elite perimeter defender in a conference riddled with star point guards. Anyway, back to the story. An equipment manager was leaving the room. A whole mess of towels needed folding, but he was cut off. The manager drove right, but a presence with
impeccable defensive form halted all attempts to make ground on those towels. That’s when they knew. “Remember when Jrue Holiday showed up in midNovember and the Pelicans made the playoffs? Do ya?!” Holiday’s warm voice said with an abnormal stutter. It was he, New Orleans’ savior, back in action to yank his beloved Pels from the depths of the Western Conference standings and back into the playoff picture. It would be a long road in a conference that demands teams with playoff aspirations to win at least 46 games, but anything was possible with No. 11 back. They didn’t have much — their coach was still worthless and there were several D-League players earning consistent minutes — but they now had hope. “Remember that time Jrue ...

Appleby told reporters in Gainesville he will be sending a text message to Etling at some point this week, and Florida coach Jim McElwain called the upcoming “Purdue Bowl” unusual. “I want to know who’s evaluating those quarterbacks at Purdue and give them a call,” Orgeron joked. “All those things personally may motivate some people, but this is all about the team.” Appleby said his text to
Etling will feature the same good luck message he, Etling and Purdue sophomore quarterback David Blough have been sharing all season. “Probably send him a text here tonight early in the week just to wish him luck, wish him the best,” Appleby said Monday in Gainesville. “You know, he’s done the same for me all season. Our whole little Purdue quarterback group text that goes on ... We all kind of keep in touch and support each other.” Junior tailback Leonard
Fournette is expected to play, but may take a day off of practice this week, Orgeron said. Fournette, once again, had his ankle “rolled up” on Saturday after the Tigers’ 38-10 win against Arkansas, Orgeron said. “You know, Leonard is tough,” Orgeron said. “The ankle is a little sore. The guy rolled up on him, but I think he’ll bounce back. If he needs a day off Tuesday, I’ll let [Director of Athletic Training] Jack [Marucci] handle that. But I do believe he’s going to be fine.”
