CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS
Student arrested for wearing clown mask
one last ROAR Students, fans say goodbye to Mike VI at SG-sponsored memorial
BY TREY COUVILLION @trey_couv
The University community gathered Wednesday evening to mourn the loss of a loved one. Hundreds of students, faculty and community members came together for a memorial ceremony organized by Student Government to remember Mike VI. “I think that it was absolutely necessary we had a memorial,” said University student and attendee Lily Sewell. “I think that he was such an important aspect of our community and LSU as a whole.” When Mike VI was brought to the University back in 2007, he was set to make his Tiger Stadium debut on Sept. 22 during the South Carolina

Jenkins’ rehab progressing ahead of LSU debut BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ Branden Jenkins now knows Louisiana to be a little “slower” than Chicago. Wednesday, during LSU’s annual in-house media day, Jenkins touted the differences between Chicago, his former home, and Baton Rouge’s quirks as the food, environment and southern hospitality. Jenkins remains sidelined for a portion of his first season donning purple and gold, rehabbing a torn meniscus which required surgery a little more than a month ago, he confirmed Wednesday. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound point guard said this is the first injury he’s had to his left knee, yet he doesn’t want to
rush the rehabilitation process for the injury he acquired during his days at Lee College in Baytown, Texas. “It’s an everyday process,” he said. “But I don’t want to rush it. The quicker I can get back, the quicker I can come back and help the guys. “I can stand on it, doing weight stuff to get the range in motion back. I’m doing stuff to get the swelling down and build my quad back up.” Like Jenkins, Elbert Robinson, Jalyn Patterson and Brian Bridgewater are recovering from respective injuries and say they’re nearly at full force for the Nov. 12 season opener against Wofford.

Junior guard Branden Jenkins (10) is interviewed during media day on Wednesday in the Basketball Practice Facility.
A University student was arrested after reportedly wearing a clown mask and chasing students on campus, LSUPD spokesperson Lt. Kevin Scott said. On Oct. 9, LSUPD responded to a report that an individual was running around and scaring people with a clown mask near the Residential College area. Scott said. Upon arrival, Scott said officers did not see anyone wearing a mask in the area. The following day, Scott said officers received a tip in regard to the identity of the clown suspect. Through investigation, LSUPD identified the suspect as 20–year-old University student Shawn Tylor Jr. Tylor was arrested and issued a misdemeanor summons for illegal wearing of masks and disturbing the peace. STUDENT ARRESTED AFTER PLACING GPS TRACKING DEVICE ON EX’S VEHICLE Scott said a University student was arrested after placing a GPS tracking device under his ex-girlfriend’s vehicle. Scott said on Oct. 7, LSUPD began to investigate a complaint that a GPS tracking device was located on a vehicle. According to the affidavit of probable cause from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, the complainant said she discovered a magnetic GPS tracking device underneath her vehicle after she returned home that day. Police records stated that the device was activated on Oct. 4 around 2 p.m. while the vehicle was parked in the North Agriculture parking lot on campus. When the complainant discovered the device at her home, she connected it to her computer and viewed a map that had tracked her vehicle’s location, according to police records. When police asked the woman who she thought might have placed the tracking device under

ROAR, from page 1 game. Mike VI’s veterinarian, however, thought it might not be a good idea to bring the new tiger in for a day game. Mike VI’s Tiger Stadium debut was played against the University of Florida Gators, whom the Tigers were slated to play this past weekend. University student Carrigan Johnson said she thinks Mike’s passing puts any remaining frustration regarding the game into perspective. “With the cancellation of the Florida game, there’s been a lot of mess that’s been going on [between] us and Florida,” she said. “I feel like Mike’s death ... forget a football game. We’re all supposed to be one as a community regardless of the situation.” Before guests of the service were offered a chance to share one last message with Mike, the Tiger Tenors led the singing of the University alma mater.
INJURIES, from page 1 Robinson, a 7-foot-1 reserve center, added 10 pounds of muscle while getting back to in-season shape. “This summer, it was a process trying to stay healthy,” he said. “Getting back healthy, I was limited to some things, now I’m full go.” Robinson said he’s bumped up from 285 pounds to 295 to improve his quickness and agility and allow him to practice faster. With the muscle, Robinson’s role on LSU’s team remains the same: Be a bully.
Many gathered arm-in-arm, some with a tear or two in their eyes, and sang along with the quartet. Many of those in attendance, like Denise Leonard of Denham Springs, had a long history with Mike. “We arrived here in January of 2007, after Katrina, and Mike was here to greet us not very long after,” Leonard said. “We went through some things after we got here and he was always such a wonderful source.” The heartfelt display made apparent what Mike VI meant to this University and surrounding community. The students showed appreciation for his presence that was like none other, and it could be felt by those who walked past his cage. As students and LSU community members walked past his habitat — now empty, but adorned with messages of love — they shared one thought: Mike VI, forever the symbol of the University, would never be forgotten. “I can be more of a bully in the paint,” he quipped. “Being built takes you a long way. The physical punishment throughout the season, you need that extra muscle.” Patterson and Bridgewater struggled with lower-body injuries last season, but Patterson says his knee has fully recovered. Patterson, who played point guard throughout his four years in high school, hasn’t played the position at the collegiate level but expects to have a larger role as the lead ball handler this season beside freshman Skylar Mays.

Baton Rouge locals, students and Tiger fans come together in memory of Mike VI on Wednesday at LSU’s Tiger Habitat. “I’m back 100 percent,” he said. “I hurt my knee in the middle of the year last year, it bothered me a little bit. Now, it’s back, full and strong and there’s nothing I can’t do so I’m feeling good.” Bridgewater, though, said he expects to join LSU’s practice within the next two weeks as he recuperates from a lingering achilles injury, forcing him to miss LSU’s first handful of practices. “I’m almost there now,” he said. “Hopefully by the end of the week or next week, I’ll be back on the court.”

She also reported that Robnett previously left several hand-written letters in her vehicle by unlocking the door using the keypad, according to police records. Robnett admitted to putting the device under her vehicle and unlocking her vehicle and placing the letters, according to police records. Robnett was then arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for stalking and placing of a tracking device. JUVENILES ARRESTED AFTER TRESPASSING AT ALEX BOX Scott said six juveniles were arrested after trespassing at Alex Box Stadium. On Oct. 7, LSUPD observed several juveniles inside Alex Box Stadium, which was closed at the time, Scott said. He said officers attempted to stop the juveniles when all six attempted to flee. After officers gave pursuit, they were able to detain all six, Scott said. The juveniles were then transported to the Public Safety Building, where they were released to “concerned” adults, Scott said. All six were charged with resisting arrest and criminal trespassing.

’ E R I F H T I W G N I Y A L ‘P Jackson relishes role
as shut-down cornerback BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n
Donte Jackson is synonymous with speed. The sophomore cornerback’s 4.24 40-yard dash time is evidence, but his speed has been decreasingly the talk of his game as he showcases improved technique while suppressing Southeastern Conference receivers. With senior cornerback Tre’Davious White’s transition from No. 1 corner to playmaking nickelback, the Metairie, Louisiana native earned White’s previous role and has since lived up to his four-star status. “That’s what we do,” Jackson said. “You don’t come to LSU to play corner if you [aren’t] going to be ready to play man-to-man, especially on top 10 receivers playing in the SEC.” “Donte is a key player in our defense,” senior defensive back Dwayne Thomas said. “He’s a great guy. He’s smart, he learns the game every day with Coach Raymond on him ... I love having him on the top receivers.” The pivotal moment in Jackson’s sophomore campaign came during LSU’s home opener against Jacksonville State. In a 34-13 drubbing of the Gamecocks, the first-year starter committed an error to the tune of six points he won’t soon forget. Jacksonville State senior quarterback Eli Jenkins connected with sophomore wide receiver Krenwick Sanders for a 76-yard touchdown with Jackson in coverage after he misplayed the throw. “It hurts, it touches a soft spot,” Jackson said. “ It was a coverage bust … You don’t give up passes, then you give up a coverage bust for

Men’s hoops weeks away from season opener BY SETH NEIMAN @seth_nieman The LSU basketball team is preparing for its first season following the departure of Ben Simmons, Tim Quarterman and other seniors, and coach Johnny Jones sees no reason why this team shouldn’t improve. “The chemistry and excitement from these guys gives us a reason to really be excited,” Jones said. “We’re looking forward to building off of the successes we made last year. We have a challenging schedule early on that will give us an opportunity to find out where we are.” LSU begins the 2016-17 season with an exhibition match against Reinhardt University on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. in the PMAC. The Tigers are returning eight members from last year’s roster, including sophomore Antonio Blakeney, who averaged 12.6 points and 3.4 rebounds during the 2015-16 season. Junior-college transfer Duop Reath has made an early impres-
sion on Jones, he said, on both ends of the floor. The 6-foot-10 forward transferred to LSU from Lee College beside Jenkins, who hopes to see minutes at the point guard position upon returning from a torn meniscus injury in a couple months. “Duop’s the best post perimeter shooter that we’ve had,” Jones said. “I thought Johnny O’Bryant was capable of stretching the defense a little bit. He actually has better range than Johnny displayed when he was here. He can really run the floor.” LSU missed out on a bid to the NCAA Tournament last season, finishing 19-14 last season with an 11-7 record in the Southeastern Conference. Jones is hoping that LSU will be able to change that outcome this season. “Our goal is always to try to get to the tournament,” Jones said. “This year will be no exception. This group is looking forward to putting their best forward and that’s what they work towards daily.” Multiple players could see

Lady Tigers prepare for opening season BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR The LSU women’s basketball team is excited to have a full, healthy roster for the start of the 2016-17 season. The Lady Tigers begin the season exhibitioning against LeMoyne-Owen at 2 p.m. on Nov. 6 in the PMAC, but the most anticipated matchup is against UConn on Nov. 20. LSU coach Nikki Fargas addressed the media at LSU’s annual in-house media day on Wednesday and held open practice that afternoon. “The fact that we’re healthy, the fact that we’ve got players that are returning due to injuries or transfer rules and then being newcomers — that’s a practice that looks like a team that’s learning,” Fargas said. The Lady Tigers were plagued by mishaps and injuries throughout the 2015-16 season.
Junior Jenna Deemer returns to LSU after sitting out because of an illness, Fargas confirmed. Junior Raigyne Moncrief and freshman Ayana Mitchell also reappear after being sidelined because of knee injuries. Other returners are seniors Alexis Hyder, Rina Hill and Jasmine Rhodes and sophomore Shanice Norton. However, the players aren’t letting last season bring them down as they’ve embraced new faces with different skill sets. Sophomores Chloe Jackson and Tatum Neubert and freshmen Yasmine Bidikuindila, Faustine Aifuwa, Jaelyn Richard-Harris and Stephanie Self join the Lady Tigers. Fargas said she loves having possibilities for switching the line up and being able to play “fast ball.” “[Bidikuindila and Aifuwa] bring a presence in the paint,

Tevas cheaper alternative to Chacos
BY CYNTHEA CORFAH @LacedInCyn Often boldly patterned and strapped to the foot, Tevas provide the latest alternative to Chacos. Neither are hard to spot on campus. Worn by both women and men, with or without socks and during nearly every season, both Chacos and Tevas are a student favorite. However, despite Chacos’ campus popularity, Tevas are now bringing notable competition. Compared to Chacos, Tevas are the cheaper alternative. Chacos range from $80 - $130, while Tevas are priced at $50 - $120, with a select few sandals costing more than $100. “Tevas are most certainly cheaper, and they seem to be easier to wear,” accounting sophomore Mary Catherine Gillespie said. “[There’s] less time taken to put them on and off, and the adjusting of Chaco’s straps can be stressful.” However, some Chaco wearers attribute the cost to their longevity. “While they may be expensive, I have found they have lasted so long,” Gillespie said about Chacos. “I bought my first pair in 2010, and they still work and look good.” Chacos were originally created as footwear for outdoor activities, so they are made to be water-resistant and durable.

Student’s ‘Phresh Starts’ program teaches etiquette to local youth BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @SemajAtkinson What started as a quick, last-minute program for interdisciplinary studies and psychology senior Breelin Clark’s Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity requirements, became Phresh Starts, an etiquette program for local youth. Clark had no idea the effect Phresh Starts would have on the Baton Rouge community, until a few months later. Alpha Phi Alpha requires its members to create multiple programs and social events and complete service hours throughout the year for
their student body and local communities. Based on his interests, Clark decided to educate young children on social graces. As a trial run, Clark ran his own summer camp through the YMCA, which helped create a foundation to structure his program. “Whenever I start my day in the morning, I think Phresh,” Clark said. Clark began Phresh Starts a year ago as a mentoring program for young men, providing them with lessons in etiquette. He travels to local schools and teaches students table manners, how to tie a
tie, how to complete a résumé and other important life skills. For as long as Clark can remember, he has been familiar with etiquette. When he was eight years old, he attended etiquette classes while his mother — who taught him things like which silverware to use for different courses — also taught him basic etiquette. Though he is there to teach children, Clark said he feels he learns a lot about himself in return. “These kids are what I do it for,” Clark said. “All the

Culture Clash Immigrants struggle to find balance between values ALL’S NAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair
When it comes to racial divisions, American society has proved itself to be a dichotomy between white and black. It’s a fact that makes minorities perpetually feel like outsiders. As a second-generation immigrant, I can attest to the fact that the American experience includes the pressure to assimilate while simultaneously balancing the values of my parents’ culture. This is similar to the feelings tens of thousands of first-generation refugee teens from the Middle East and Africa who have have been granted residency in America experience. They’ve fled persecution and violence from Iraq to Kenya to Syria, and they feel the United States is a place of opportunity for themselves and their children. Since I was a child, my parents instilled the idea in me that America was the “land of opportunity,” where you could achieve anything if you worked hard enough. Immigrants from developing countries or refugees seeking asylum often have different stakes than their natural-born peers. We spend our whole lives making something from nothing so all the suffering before that point was worth it. We aim to be more educated than our parents in order to get high-paying jobs so our families will no longer be struggling. This creates a difference in work ethic between natural-born and naturalized citizens. Minority work ethic is also driven by the pay gap that exists between the races, which only makes the struggle to build a foundation in this country harder. It usually leads to a cycle of poverty that makes the poor poorer and the rich richer. The New York Times ran a feature earlier this year on refugees who were high school seniors in Boise, Idaho. Their stories and experiences exemplify the transition of foreign teenagers and their perspectives on fitting in with their peers. It is obvious there is a distinction in morals between the Americans and the refugees. One refugee, an 18-year-old named Muganza Katanga, lived in a camp in Rwanda for seven years. He says his mom fought to make sure they ate every day, which he said is how he got the mentality that,

“Everything is right in front of you. All you have to do is go there and get it. It takes hard work. It takes a long time. But you just have to be patient and know how you’re going to get it.” Another refugee earns his wages by working as a janitor for five hours a day at $8 an hour, in addition to attending soccer practice each day to ensure he keeps his scholarship. He often can’t do homework because he gets too tired. A Hispanic coworker of mine once told me she could tell as soon as she had children in America that it was going to be an uphill battle. She was trying to teach the same values of education and hard work to her children that were taught to her, all while they were going to school and unlearning those values from peers of higher privilege. It puts immigrant teens at an awkward crossroads of wanting to conform and imitate their classmates while staying completely focused on school, regardless of the social consequences. Feeling like an outsider is a constant social consequence I personally face. It wasn’t until I got much older that I realized that America’s “melting pot” didn’t necessarily have a positive connotation. The obvious bilateral racial war makes it impossible to blend into

our surroundings from the beginning, just because of the color of our skin. I used to wish I could melt into the walls when people asked me insensitive questions about my culture, even if their intentions weren’t malicious. It’s the constant reminder that you are an alien, a visitor, and you will never reach normalcy. Assimilation feels like I’m splitting myself in half to be acceptable on both sides of my life. You edit out the confusion when people make references you don’t understand, the inferiority complex that comes with being surrounded by American nationalism and the subconscious stereotyping from even your closest friends who try to understand but never will. Over time, you find a way to accept living in two different worlds without ever really belonging to either one. The “land of opportunity” comes at great cost, but sacrifice is the trademark of the immigrant lifestyle. Our parents sacrifice for us, and we sacrifice for them and our children and hope that one day all of the suffering pays off. Anjana Nair is an 18-year-old international studies sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

preparation and headache is worth [it] once I get to meet with them.” Aside from the opportunities his program presents, Clark’s key to success is motivation from his supporters. Facilitated by the East Baton Rouge School Board, Clark said he has high hopes for Phresh Starts. He looks for team members who have something distinctive to offer the children in his program. To ensure program participants grow in their social skills, Clark implemented a survey called “Fashion Deviants” to gather research. The survey bridges the gap between underprivileged young men and professional preparedness. He uses these questionnaires to decipher if low income correlates to youth fashion sense. Although Clark has job offers awaiting him, he plans to continue to focus on Phresh Starts upon his May 2017 graduation. Since securing his own office in YMCA, Clark said he hopes to host seminars that will be open to the public. “Phresh Starts is going to be big as long as I’m around, and even after,” he said.

Poullard has worn her Chacos to class and traveled with them to Europe and Asia. Teva-wearer and mass communication junior Taylor Gyenis said Tevas are also long-lasting. “Before I was born, my parents traveled, hiked and explored the outdoors,” Gyenis said. “When I was a sophomore in high school, my mom gave me a pair of her Tevas that were almost 10 years old. They were so funky and vintage, so I ended up wearing them literally every-

Despite the trials and tribulations behind the album’s release, Babin said she is just happy the band was finally able to record and distribute where, and that’s how I started my collection.” Gyenis, a self-titled “#TevaDiva,” owns more than 15 pairs of Tevas. She wears them to parties, movies, the beach, class and out the shower. In addition to standard sandal styles, Gyenis owns a pair that have a three-inch platform. While Chacos have a wide variety of patterns to choose from, Tevas offer not only various colors and patterns, but also four different types of sandals: originals, flatforms, flip flops and slides. Tevas are not limited to outdoor styles. Some sandals have metallic, leather or ombre webbing, appealing to a more fashionable audience.
its music. The trio said they always knew they wanted an all-female band. By paying attention to every musical detail, Wilson said the group embodies a more feminine character. “We use our feminine tendencies to figure out what we can do to make each and every song better,” she said. Feierabend said the band tries to “nurture” their songs to perfection. “We all spend a lot of time listening to [each song] before adding our own flair,” she said.
Wilson attributes the band’s special sound to its instrumentation. “There’s not a lot of bands [where] you will find a harp, a banjo and a marimba all at the same time,” Wilson said. In addition to playing several different instruments, all members participate in singing and songwriting. Wilson said they also play with other bands in the “helpful, collaborative” folk community. “I love the other bands I play with, but this group is unique,” Feierabend said.

HOOPS, from page 3 time at the point guard position this season for LSU, the fifthyear coach said. Jones has seen different things he likes from Jenkins, freshman Skylar Mays and junior Jalyn Patterson. “All of those guys bring something a little bit different to the team,” Jones said. “The most experienced guy because of the number of games he has played at this level is Jalyn Patterson. Skylar is a little bit more deceptive in terms of the way that he plays and the way that he moves on the floor. He’s worked really hard in the offseason to improve his shot.” Baton Rouge native Skylar Mays played his senior year of high school basketball at Findlay Prep where he averaged 10.9 points and 5.3 assists per game. Mays already noticed differences on the next level. “The pace is much different and everybody can play,” Mays said. “In high school, you can get a lot of win with two studs, but now you need everybody. I’m just excited to learn and keep growing. I don’t look at it as a guaranteed spot.”
He said the play motivated him to hone in on his deficiencies to become the true shutdown corner LSU’s system commands. Working with defensive backs coach Corey Raymond, Jackson has become more trained with his eyes and hands. He added that he’s made a concerted effort to avoid taking false steps while in coverage so he can better stick to his man. “It’s pretty much history, Jones hopes fans will continue to make their way to the PMAC this season. LSU finished third in increased attendance among Division I schools for the 2015-16 season. “I feel like if we’re doing things the right way with this basketball team, those folks will come out to support us and we’re excited about that,” Jones said.

Sophomore guard Antonio Blakeney (2) answers a question from a reporter on Wednesday in the University Basketball Practice Facility.
I’m looking forward to him just making plays all year now,” Thomas said. “He can cover anybody and he knows they’re not going to run by him. He knows if he gets his hands on them and plays physical, he will be a great, dominant corner for us. ” Jackson showcased his shutdown ability against Missouri junior wide receiver J’Mon Moore, sophomore quarterback Drew Lock’s favorite
target and Missouri’s leading receiver with 450 yards and six touchdowns. Lock went to Moore early with Jackson in coverage to no avail. Jackson held him to one catch for 16 yards on six targets after he entered the game averaging 108.5 yards per game. “It’s like he was playing with fire,” Jackson said. “I don’t even make it look open, I don’t understand why he was throwing the ball there in the first place.”
With only a game against Southern Miss separating LSU from the meat of its schedule, a three-game slate against Ole Miss, Alabama and Arkansas, Jackson leads the Tigers with seven passes defensed, has one of LSU’s four interceptions and is responsible for jarring a fumble loose. “[Coach Raymond] never lost faith in me,” Jackson said. “Now people are having problems even catching the ball on me.”
LADY TIGERS, from page 3 a low block presence that we haven’t had probably since Theresa Plaisance,” Fargas said. “We’re going to be able to play a little bit more man to man because we’re going to match up size wise … But those two in particular will allow us to play more of a power game.” Fargas said she hasn’t named her starting five yet because she likes the competitiveness between the players. However, she mentioned having her eyes set on Moncrief, Hill and Hyder. Mitchell said the team’s dynamic has changed from last season’s and it shows both on and off the court. Additionally, the 2016-17 team has taken on a new acronym called H.U.S.H. — hungry, unified, selflessness and heart. “We’re all together,” Mitchell said. “In practice you can tell when you’re going after loose balls or running an extra sprint with a teammate, it’s showing a lot of heart. This year is going to be different because we went through last year … It’s going to help us

Fargas also mentioned opening more to
her team. “We have a lot of young people on the team and roster so hopefully we give them something to follow, and hopefully they continue to be leaders in whatever they do,” Rhodes said.
