Reveille to publish enlarged, weekly newspaper starting next semester Newsroom to expand online reporting, offer new opportunities for students

ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille

After careful deliberation, we, The Daily Reveille’s student leadership, have decided to shift to a weekly print publication with an enhanced daily presence online beginning next semester. We believe this drastic change is necessary, and we are confident it will improve the way we approach our two main goals: training the next generation of journalists and informing the LSU community. We understand the significance of this decision, especially considering the presence The Reveille has had on campus since its inception in 1887, and we are certain this shift is in the best interest of preserving the status and efficacy of the same paper that University students and alumni have read for more than a century. Though change is frightening, we expect great things from our weekly paper. For starters, we will be producing 32 pages of content for you every week. This means our reporters will work on longer, more in-depth stories, and their editors will have more space to showcase them in the paper. Our talented photographers’ work will also have a new place to shine in a dedicated photo section. By making this necessary reduction to our print expenses, we will be able to redistribute funds to increase circulation, bring back some of our old distribution stops and upgrade equipment and software. These savings will also allow greater flexibility for travel and educational budgets, increasing opportunities for reporters to cover major news events alongside professionals, attend conferences and visit newsrooms across the country. Most importantly, we can ensure saved funds go toward hiring more student journalists. This change will also allow us to improve our digital footprint on LSUNow.com — the online hub for all LSU Student Media content. We want to use our resources to be in your timelines and on your desktops. We want to meet you where you are, and this change will help us revamp the way we deliver timely, accurate news. Our reporters will expand their reach beyond the campus community and experiment with new forms of story presentation, including interactive journalism and live video. This wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we felt it was one that needed to be made as soon as possible. To be frank, finances were a major factor in reaching this conclusion. Advertising revenue for the Reveille’s print edition is in decline, consistent with national newspaper industry trends. By June 2015, Reveille sales and service revenue, which is driven by advertising, was 50.3 percent less than what it was in June 2007, according to annual audits of the Office of Student Media conducted by the University’s Office of Financial Accounting and Reporting. Due in large part to the loss of Reveille advertising revenue, the Office of Student Media has posted large annual net losses for the past several years. At its current rate, Student Media will deplete its financial reserves within two academic years. As much as we love our daily print product, it’s our responsibility to make sure the Reveille remains a sustainable learning tool for student journalists. It would have been irresponsible and selfish of us to deny our fiscal situation and delay this change. We want to assure you, our readers, that a reduction in print frequency does not mean a reduction in standards. Our talented and hardworking team has already been through a pivotal transition and has come out stronger and better prepared to embrace today’s innovative real-world media environment. Between spring and fall of 2016, we merged with LSUNow.com and Tiger TV to create one operation, offering both experienced and novice editors and reporters opportunities to diversify their skillsets. Despite significant changes in workflow and operations, the Reveille, LSUNow.com and Tiger TV have continued to provide our audiences with quality products. This reduction in print doesn’t mean we’ll fade as the University’s primary news source. In fact, we’re growing our services, widening our presence across campus and innovating the ways we tell you stories. We’ve been putting out a print product at various frequencies, including weekly, for 129 years, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. During this period of transition, we welcome comments, concerns, questions and support. You can contact Editor In Chief Quint Forgey at editor@lsureveille.com or stop by the newsroom, B16 Hodges Hall, any time. We’ll be here.

CAMPUS LIFE

Early Childhood Education Lab Preschool celebrates revamp BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano The College of Human Sciences and Education’s Early Childhood Education Laboratory Preschool is bringing cutting edge teaching methods to both children and University students. The preschool was previously managed under Auxiliary Services before a committee headed by Vice President of Finance and Administration Dan Layzell voted to transfer the center’s management to CHSE in May. CHSE celebrated the labo-

ratory preschool’s official opening today with a ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Both the building and the school’s curriculum have undergone significant changes since CHSE assumed management of the center in May. Executive director Cynthia DiCarlo said the changes have been well received by parents and members of the school’s faculty. DiCarlo said CHSE decided to take over the center to provide University students a valuable opportunity to see classroom learning in action and apply learned skills in a laboratory environment.

“We initiated the process so that we could provide both high quality services for children attending the lab, and also enrich the educational experiences of our college students,” DiCarlo said. The renovated preschool also includes a multipurpose space that’s been outfitted to host undergraduate and graduate courses, she said. The pre-school’s laboratory environment allows University students to test innovative teaching methods and apply their learning directly in a real-life classroom environment. The revamped space and

curriculum are based on the world renowned Reggio Emilia teaching method, DiCarlo said. The Reggio approach developed in Italy after World War II and focuses on relationship based teaching and pared down spaces that foster creativity and increased focus. CHSE faculty studied the Reggio approach firsthand during a research trip to Italy several years ago. Another student and faculty group will be traveling to Italy in March to observe Reggio classrooms and will likely bring back new ideas to incorporate into the preschool’s curriculum, DiCarlo said. The preschool building features a neutral, calming color palette free of pre-made signage and decorations. Instead, student art graces the walls in an effort to encourage students to take increased ownership of the classroom, she said. Additional features include refurbished “bump out spaces” in the hallways that will function as shared learning spaces outside the official classrooms. The spaces will feature creative materials to encourage students to engage with one another and learn outside of the classroom, DiCarlo said. In the Reggio approach, learning is a co-constructive process between the teacher and the class in which the students’ interests help guide the lesson plans, she said. For example, if students are learning about gardening and are drawn to ladybugs or other creatures in the garden, the teacher will approach the lesson from a focus on insects. This method calls for teachers to be quick thinking and responsive to the students, she said. The preschool can enroll students aged six weeks to 4 years old. The school has 175 students, 15 teachers and 16 teaching assistants. Gov. John Bel Edwards, an outspoken champion of early childhood education, is scheduled to assist in the ribbon cutting. Gov. Edwards will also deliver an address to those present and take a tour of the facility.

Key to Respect Arden Key, LSU prep for Ole Miss’ offensive line, spread offense

BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ Sophomore defensive end Arden Key has dealt with different tactics opposing teams have used to stop him from sacking their quarterbacks. Max protection, slide protection, double teams and even chip blocks — it reached a point where the 6-foot-6, 238-pound defensive lineman became frustrated and upset about the blocking attention he was receiving. Respect, he says. That’s why other teams are increasing tactics to prevent him from finding their quarterback. LSU coach Ed Orgeron and defensive line coach Pete Jenkins talked to Key and explained the added attention is coupled with being the Southeastern Conference’s sack leader at seven sacks. “It’s respect,” Key said. “They have to do it.” Next for Key, the LSU defense meets a Laremy Tunsilless Ole Miss offense, which has allowed 12 sacks this season, Saturday. Key remembers the issues he had with Tunsil last season in LSU’s 38-17 loss in Oxford last season. Key recalled Tunsil being a shifty offensive lineman, forcing him to find new moves. But none of them worked, as Key didn’t register a sack versus Tunsil, an NFL first-round draft pick in May. “He was athletic,” Key said. “His footwork was amazing. I would do a couple

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Freshman centers form bond over food, music

BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR Freshman Faustine Aifuwa didn’t expect “Bidikuisine” when she committed to the LSU women’s basketball program over the summer. The Georgia native, a center on the Lady Tigers’ squad, is well-fed by her roommate and teammate, freshman center Yasmine Bidikuindila, who coined the phrase based on her last name. Aifuwa said the two can usually be found jamming to their favorite music and eating when they have free time off the court. “It’s always fun to have [the team] taste my food,” Bidikuindila said. “We spend a lot of time together, too. In the living room, we watch TV shows. It’s fun.” Bidikuindila said her favorite dish to make is shrimp tacos, as well as dishes

with rice. Aifuwa had a hard time deciding her favorite meal from Bidikuindila, but ultimately disagreed with her teammate’s choice. “My favorite cuisine that she made was the honey barbecue nuggets,” the 6-foot-5 center said. “It wasn’t just that — she had the nuggets, she had the dirty rice. It was a whole platter. She had mac and cheese, too, and it was bomb.” Bidikuindila added she doesn’t have much time to cook now with the team’s busy schedule, but it is still one of her favorite pastimes. She said she is used to cooking for a lot of people because she has eight siblings. Aifuwa said the first time the two communicated was through social media to discuss their travel arrangements. From then on, they clicked.

Fournette, Guice to lead carry rotation

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ Leonard Fournette shouldn’t expect a carry limit this weekend. Fournette (ankle) practiced for the first time this week since LSU coach Ed Orgeron became the Tigers’ interim head coach in late September. “[He] looks full speed,” Orgeron said Wednesday during the Southeastern Conference’s weekly teleconference. Although he does not have a pitch count as LSU meets No. 22 Ole Miss at 8 p.m. Saturday, Fournette will be swapping carries with sophomore tailback Derrius Guice and junior running back Darrel Williams. “We’re going to use a rotation,” the coach said. “Feels like [Fournette’s] fine.

LSU to face Auburn at home

BY MILES JORDAN @MilesBJordan LSU (7-9, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) is set to meet Auburn (11-4, 7-1 SEC) Thursday night at 6 p.m. at LSU Soccer Stadium, eyeing the continuation of a win streak after its latest victory against Mississippi State last Friday. LSU is looking to push its winning streak to two against Auburn in a game that is nearly a mustwin — LSU is 11th in the SEC, and the top ten teams make the conference tournament. Auburn is in a much more comfortable place as winners of sixstraight matches since its Sept. 18 loss against South Carolina. LSU has lost five consecutive regular season matches against Auburn. The Tigers have met each other in spring exhibition games, which Auburn won. “[Auburn] is a team we’re really familiar with due to the proximity of a good, quality program,” LSU coach Brian Lee said. “They’re a natural, and we have a good relationship with the

Sorority members turn hobbies into businesses BY CYNTHEA CORFAH | @LacedInCyn For party cup artists Claire Hadlock and Kellin Bowen, decorating party cups is more than a trivial date function tradition. At the University, party cups are most frequently used within the Greek community. They can be purchased at local party and Greek stores, such as Parties Start Here and Balfour House. Taken to most Greek date functions, party cups act as a memento from each event. At stores, party cups are sold plain in a variety of colors and textures. Customers typically pay to have their cups decorated or decorate them themselves. As the Greek community continues to expand, the demand for party cup artists has also increased. Hadlock, a mass communication freshman, is a member of

Delta Delta Delta sorority and has been decorating party cups since her freshman year of high school. Hadlock said her classmates at her all-girl’s alma mater would get party cups for their dates and fill them with candy as a gift. For her freshman homecoming, Hadlock painted her own party cups as a way to save money. “When I got better with the paint pens and art, I figured out that I could make some money if I did other people’s, too,” Hadlock said. “So I started bringing them to school as water bottles to kind of advertise.” Since then, Hadlock’s hobby has become a small business. Her clients range from high school students to sorority women, for whom she creates custom cup designs.

The LSU School of Theatre’s production of Will Eno’s “Middletown” premiered Tuesday night at the Claude L. Shaver Theatre. Directed by Kendall Krebsbach, the play proved to be just as hilarious as promised. After hearing only exceptional reviews about the show, I was quite eager to see it. People tossed around phrases like “funny,” “entertaining” and “overall a great production” when describing “Middletown.” With a cast of talented peers, I figured the show would live up to the hype. Centered around the eponymous small town, the play illustrates the everyday lives of a few different types of characters who live there and allows the audience to see the town through their eyes. The comedy served as a strong point of the production as I found myself laughing throughout most of the performance. Characters who stood out included the librarian, played by Meg Walsh, and John Dodge, played by Austin Ventura. Both actors did an elegant job portraying the complex emotions driving their characters. In the beginning, it was difficult to understand what was going on because there was so much happening simultaneously. At times, the performance moved too quickly, and I wish the pacing would have slowed down a bit. Because of this, I still don’t quite

MUSIC

Student disc jockey mixes genres, manages record label BY RAYKAEL MORRIS @RaykaelMorris From University student to music producer to disk jockey, communication studies junior Joseph Swiger can navigate it all. Swiger said he started producing music because he believes it is universal. “Anywhere you go, doesn’t matter if people speak the same language, everyone can be moved by music,” he said. With roots in 90s instrumental music, Swiger said he looks to The Pharcyde, 9th Wonder,

Kanye West and his parents for inspiration. “I made these goals a year ago, and right now I’m living them,” Swiger said. Swiger, co-founder of DopeSet Collective, decided to start the record label with a friend their freshman year of college to “make great music and host great parties.” DopeSet Collective boasts four disc jockeys. The artists will perform as a group for the first time on Nov. 12 for the Riddim and Brews concert at Bottle and Tap.

“I’m working every day to gain recognition, which is why I like working with people all around the country,” Swiger said. Swiger’s mix of electronic dance and trap music distinguishes his musical style from the other producers on his label. Though Swiger said he makes up to 100 beats during a typical day, he said he usually only likes 10 of them. Swiger has worked with multiple artists, including Adam Dollar$, Kevin Miner and Zayne

Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage’ dominated by black cast, incorrectly perceived as racist RHYME AND REASON BRIANNA RHYMES @briannacrhymes Marvel’s “Luke Cage” series nearly broke the Internet the day it was released on Netflix. Luke Cage, Marvel’s first black superhero, was created in the ’70s and has been made into a live-action TV show. The show, based in Harlem, features a majority-black cast. Surprisingly, some people took to Twitter to vent about the show’s lack of white characters. Despite white people being the center of Hollywood entertainment for years, dating back to TV shows like “Bewitched” and “The Andy Griffith Show” to more recent shows like “Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “How I Met Your Mother,” which all have a shortage of black characters, Marvel’s “Luke Cage” is being perceived as racist for having dynamic black characters. Racist is a word that is thrown around way too much by people who don’t know its true meaning. For the show to be racist, it would have to show a belief that black people are superior to white people. After watching the entire opening season of “Luke Cage” in one weekend, I can vouch that there is no scene or instance in which a character was treating someone poorly because they were white or advocating for the mistreatment of white people. I believe “Luke Cage” is seen as racist because it challenges people to think differently about a culture that they are not used to. The show conveys what it’s really like living in a black community with real problems like political corruption, poverty and violence. If you’ve never been exposed

to a culture that is different from yours, it may be rattling at first, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make an effort to understand it. For quite some time now, Hollywood has had limited representation of black people, portraying them predominantly as uneducated or criminals. The characters in “Luke Cage” are seen as strong, intelligent people with room to develop and grow, unlike the flat characters portrayed by black people in other TV shows. The DuVernay test was created by The New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis to monitor racial diversity in Hollywood. The DuVernay test requires African Americans and other minorities to have fully realized characters rather than serve as scenery in white stories. How many of the most watched TV shows or movies of our time could pass this test? In the past, it has been up to TV channels like BET, Centric, TV One and OWN to give accurate representations of black life, culture and experiences, and I’m happy that Netflix is also falling into this category. Netflix has broken barriers by producing TV shows that go against Hollywood’s standards. Netflix has not only put more black actors on screen but other Hollywood minorities, including Asians, Hispanics, Muslims and members of the LGBTQ community. I’m sure the opinions of a few people are not fully representing how all white people feel about “Luke Cage,” but it’s good that conversations about diversity in Hollywood are happening. There are people of all races, ethnicities and religions in an audience and each of them deserve to have people on screen with whom they identify.

Thursday, October 20, 2016 KEY, from page 3 moves and he would still be in front of me, and I would be like, ‘He ain’t supposed to be there.’ I had to go in the toolbox and dig out some more tools.” The Rebels lead the SEC in passing offense and pass efficiency in the SEC this season, which allows Key more opportunities to rush Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly. What he’s even more excited about is not facing Tunsil again. “I love it,” Key said. “I feel like [I’m] supposed to have three sacks. I don’t see a Laremy Tunsil anymore. We went back-and-forth last year, and I feel like they won’t be able to block me.” Ole Miss’ fast-paced, spread offensive attack isn’t new for LSU. Jacksonville State, Auburn, Mississippi State and Southern Miss employ a spread offense, but the Tigers were able to hold each of those opponents to less than 21 points. Sophomore cornerback Donte Jackson said LSU’s preparation is similar for each spread offense, but said Kelly’s scrambling ability presents a new challenge. “As a corner, you can’t let the scramble game fool you,” Jackson said. “Chad Kelly likes to throw on the run, he likes to throw while he’s moving, get you moving and get your eyes off your man.” “As we preach with Coach O and Pete Jenkins, no quarterback is going to beat us with his feet,”

Key added. Kelly’s favorite target this season is senior tight end Evan Engram, who leads the SEC with 590 receiving yards and ranks second in receptions, with 37. Ole Miss has been able to use Engram in a multitude of ways, Jackson said. Engram can line up in the slot, split out wide as a wide receiver and be effective in run blocking — all similar to Wisconsin’s sure-handed tight end Troy Fumagalli, who posted 100 yards on 7 catches in the meat of LSU’s defense. “They can hide him and just get him the ball all types of ways,” Jackson said. “That really makes him a huge guy we have to key on, with our safeties and our linebackers. It’s just going to be athletes on athletes. He’s a pretty big threat, but I feel like we’ll be able to contain him.” For LSU, the loss to Ole Miss, which was part of a three-game skid, is still fresh on the Tigers’ minds, and Orgeron said he was using the loss as motivation this week. Key said he isn’t sure what happened last season but that he is ready to welcome the Rebels to Tiger Stadium Saturday. “We weren’t supposed to lose to Ole Miss,” Key said. “Everybody in the country knew that … It was a loss and left a bad taste in our mouth. And how they did it at home? Real bad taste in our mouth. So they come see us, we got something for them.”

BIDIKUISINE, from page 3 Their skills aren’t just in the kitchen. The two bring heat to the basketball court, as well. They might play the same position — center — but it is not competition. Instead, it is a learning experience, Aifuwa said. “We push each other,” she said. “We both are working, and if that means to get in each other’s faces to do that, we’re going to do that. When we do that, we don’t take it personal.” Before coming to LSU, Bidikuindila hadn’t played in roughly two years because of a knee injury that required surgery. With her teammate beside her, she said Aifuwa helps her get back in shape.

ROTATION, from page 3 what he needs to.” Orgeron said LSU will monitor Fournette’s health Saturday, but the junior running back told the coach he was “fine” Tuesday, Orgeron said. “We’re going to give him the football,” Orgeron said. Six games into the season, Guice remains LSU’s leading rusher with 564 rushing yards on 62 attempts and six touchdowns — averaging 9.1 yards per carry.

STREAK, from page 3 coaching staff, primary reason being quality opponent.” LSU knows it must be more defensive against a team like Auburn. “We have to be more defensive-oriented against Auburn, but we also have to do that against everyone,” Lee said.

“Going against Faust — she’s 6’5” and I’m 6’6” — it’s different than high school, [when] you’re going against shorter kids,” Bidikuindila said. “We push each other and it’s great competition preparing us for the season.” Coming from big families allows for their communication to flourish both off and on the court because both always had to communicate with their siblings. The pair agreed being far away from their families isn’t so bad with a “sister” nearby. “It’s comforting because if something goes on with your family, you can always go to them,” Aifuwa said. “It’s not like you have to keep it to yourself. In a way, you’ve got a sister with you.” Bidikuindila said the age

difference helps her communicate with Aifuwa and the rest of her teammates, too. “It better helps me with helping them through anything they need and making sure they’re doing what they are supposed to do in the morning — like, ‘Faustine, did you eat?’ Just like a big sister and just being there for them,” Bidikuindila said. LSU coach Nikki Fargas said you can usually find Aifuwa dancing and being social in the middle of a crowd, while Bidikuindila can be found people-watching. “They’re two very recognizable people when you’re walking down the street,” Fargas joked. “You’re not going to miss them, but they also have huge personalities.”

Fournette, who missed LSU’s games against Jacksonville State, Missouri and Southern Miss, has garnered 386 rushing yards this season on 67 carries with two touchdowns. KICKOFF, PUNT RETURN DUTIES Cornerback Donte Jackson will be LSU’s kick returner — and soon-to-be punt return man — for the foreseeable future and not Guice, Orgeron said. Orgeron wanted to give Guice “a break” from return duties as he

has started in place of Fournette amid his lingering ankle injury. Jackson has three kick returns for 93 yards this season — not including a 101-yard touchdown return, which was negated by a penalty against Jacksonville State. Jackson was working at punt returner in Tuesday’s practice, too, and Wednesday Orgeron hinted Jackson may be LSU’s leading punt returner going forward. “We do like his ability to break a long one,” Orgeron said of Jackson. “Tremendous vision.”

Auburn has scored 16 goals during its winning streak, proving Lee’s point of a defensive focus against a team of Auburn’s caliber. LSU must also be more aggressive on offense, he said. “We’re creating chances [but] we’re not cashing in,” Lee said. “We need to be a little more aggressive. We’re creating the

chances we just need to convert.” If LSU can finish with a win, its position in the SEC standings will move in most scenarios. In SEC matches, winners receive three points and losers zero. Each team gets one point in the case of a tie. LSU is a point behind No. 10 Texas A&M. If the Aggies and LSU win, A&M will remain at No. 10 and LSU in 11th.

PARTY CUPS, from page 4 In addition to word of mouth, Hadlock gets information to her customers on her business Twitter and Tumblr, called “Claire’s Party Cups.” Sociology and English junior Audrey Martin, a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, started decorating party cups her sophomore year of college. “I have two majors, a job and a position on my sorority’s Executive Council, so decorating party cups has helped me stay organized and structure my day more efficiently,” Martin said. “I learned pretty quickly that I can’t finish all my orders without sticking to a schedule.” Martin said painting party cups is a stress reliever. While she decorates, Martin uses Netflix to monitor time spent on each cup. She said the first cup out of the set usually takes around 45 minutes, or one episode of a TV show. The second cup can be finished within 25 minutes. Before applying paint to any of the cups, Martin first sketches the design in pencil. Using her

paint pens, Martin creates the requested design, adhering to the theme of the date function. “For semi-formals and formals, I tend to take a more elegant approach and use swirls, script fonts and less colors,” Martin said. “I love doing cups for GRUB [Girls Round Up Boys] and bus trips because they are themed, and I really have a chance to get creative and customize the cups to reflect the costume.” Bowen, a mass communication sophomore and member of Alpha Phi sorority, said decorating party cups taught her a lot about creativity and originality. Using paint pens and spray glitter glue, Bowen has created designs for themes such as “Louisiana Saturday Night,” “Zeta Crown Formal” and “LSU Football,” as well as high school homecomings and proms. “A lot of people probably don’t know that cups are a super easy and affordable way to have a memorable, cute party favor,” Bowen said. “I do all my party cups unique and original. I always take suggestions and ideas from the buyer too.”

MIDDLETOWN, from page 4 understand the play’s overarching theme. Kinesiology freshman Chloe Pelitere said “Middletown” made her draw parallels between the play’s setting and her own hometown, especially considering the people and places. She was also pleased by the play’s surprise ending.

DISC JOCKEY, from page 4 Taylor. “I literally just Soundcloud people and ask them if I can make a beat for them,” he said. Swiger said connecting with artists from across the country has become easier because of technology. On top of maintaining a record label, Swiger also attends class and works for KLSU radio station. Despite having a lot on his plate, he said he works to always make school his first priority. “Anytime I have free time, this is what I’m doing,” Swiger said, referring to his disc jockeying pastime. Over the summer, Swiger went on a mini tour and performed at a series of festivals, including Pass the Good Festival and Independence Festival, using his musical passion as a form of stress relief. “Some people exercise and go on jobs to relieve stress, but music is my free time,” he said. Swiger said he plans to utilize his music abilities and his communication major collaboratively in the future. “Right now, I’m enjoying the roller coaster ride that is music production,” he said.

Party cups decorated by sociology and English junior, Audrey Martin, serve as party favors for sorority and fraternity parties.

“It also allowed for plot twists that I honestly would have never expected,” Pelitere said. “The ending of the play was especially interesting because it almost definitely wasn’t expected.” Civil engineering sophomore Katie Ebrahim said she found the play “hilarious,” particularly praising Walsh’s portrayal of the
