The School of Veterinary Medicine treated visitors this weekend to a petting zoo, an equine treadmill, a raptor rehab unit and a fistulated cow that had a hole in its side for people to reach into.

The Vet School invited the public into its educational environment Saturday

to showcase its latest technology and provide family entertainment as part of the 27th annual open house.

This year’s theme was “Where’s Mike?.”

Mike VI was on display in his cage outside of the building from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — the mascot’s first time to attend the event.

Joseph Taboada, Vet School associate dean for Student and Academic Affairs, said Mike VI, who arrived at the University in August 2008, wasn’t ready for all the attention at this time last year.

“Mike hadn’t been here very long, 7:20 a.m.

Some came to the event to entertain their children. Baton Rouge resident Terry Moore brought her granddaughter to the open house.

“She just loves animals,” Moore said.

“We got here 15 minutes before time. She was looking forward to the petting area.”

Lisa Ryan of Prairieville attended with her two daughters.

Iraqi women’s minister resigns in protest of gov’t budget cuts

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s state minister for women’s affairs has quit to protest a lack of resources for a daunting task — improving the lives of “a full army of widows” and other women left poor or abandoned by war. In an interview Sunday with The Associated Press, Nawal al-Samarraie described how her office’s budget was so tight that she often found herself dipping into her own pockets for the women who came begging for help. She said she finally submitted her resignation last week in part because her budget was slashed from $7,500 to $1,500 per month — part of overall government spending cuts.

TEKAPO, New Zealand (AP) — This little town is in the dark and proud of it.

Where other places greet the night by lighting up their streets and tourist attractions, this one goes the other way — low-energy sodium lamps are shielded from above, and household lights must face down, not up. The purpose: to bring out the stars. The town of 830 people on New Zealand’s South Island is on a mission to protect the sight of the night sky, even as it disappears behind light and haze in many parts of the world. The ultimate prize would be UNESCO’s approval for the first “starlight reserve,” and already the “astro tourists” are coming.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of President Barack Obama’s top economic advisers forecast Sunday a difficult struggle with Congress over Senate cuts of $40 billion for state and local governments from the administration’s massive spending and tax cut package to stimulate the failing economy. The $827 billion Senate version of the plan — designed to bring the economy out of the worst downward spiral since the Great Depression — was expected to pass the Senate on Tuesday. The House had already passed its $819 billion version of the measure. Lawmakers were likely to begin reconciling those differences later this week, with Obama still pressing to have the stimulus measure on his desk for signing by mid-month.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — A Louisiana Public Service Commission report says burying the state’s utility lines to protect them from hurricane-force winds would drastically increase monthly bills for customers and cost up to $70 billion. The PSC staff surveyed 14 utility companies that provide power in Louisiana to determine how large and how expensive the task would be. In its report, which was distributed to commissioners last week, the staff suggested the five regulators not mandate that the lines be buried.

FUNDRAISING

Tiger Talk raises more than $451K in last fiscal year Students called about 96,000 alums last fall

By Joy Lukachick Staff Writer

JASON BORDELON / The Daily Reveille

Bruce Derbigny, general studies senior, calls LSU alumni Thursday night for Tiger Talk. The organization works to generate funds for the LSU Foundation, which raised $451,000 for the University in the last fiscal year.

At the corner of South Stadium Drive past Tiger Stadium and around the bend in the road near the Design Building, a building with a small sign reading “Tiger Talk” is taped above double doors.

Behind these doors is the University’s call center where student workers raise money for the LSU Foundation and individual colleges’ private funds.

“Every penny that is raised here goes to the academic programs on campus,” said Quinn Rainwater, LSU Foundation funds director. “The money we raise for the Flagship fund ... goes to where LSU needs it the most.”

The student call center started in 2003, later than those at other Southeastern Conference schools, Rainwater said. The University wanted to open the center earlier but couldn’t get the resources, he said.

Rainwater said Tiger Talk provides an annual fund campaign for the University and consults the different colleges on campus to raise money for their annual funds.

Students make calls Monday

through Thursday in the evening and on Sunday afternoon.

“We still think we’re one of the best kept secrets on campus,” he said, explaining that not many students know about the job.

About 75 students work the different shifts, Rainwater said.

Students called a little more than 96,000 alumi last semester.

But many students work at Tiger Talk for only a few weeks, Rainwater said.

“It’s a hard job,” he said. “The burn-out rate is high.”

Though most alumni are nice, the student workers commonly go a whole shift without getting donations and even experience frequent hang-ups, Rainwater said.

But the atmosphere turns more exciting at night, when the phones are ringing and donations are coming in, he said. One student raised $325 on Thursday, and the students collectively received pledges for more than $5,500.

“Last fiscal year, [Tiger Talk] actually raised $451,000 for LSU,” Rainwater said.

Bayo Famoriyo is the current top caller for Tiger Talk, raising more than $70,000.

Famoriyo, electrical engineering senior, said he walked into the building in summer 2005 looking for an on-campus job and was hired the next day.

“The first couple weeks it was

hard,” Famoriyo said. “I just got to the states, and the Louisiana southern drawl was really tough.”

He said he couldn’t understand what the speaker on the other end of the line was saying, nor could the speaker understand him.

On one occasion Famoriyo said he received a $10,000 donation from an alumnus, and the manager let everyone leave early for the night.

“It was the best feeling in the world,” Famoriyo said.

The student call center has experienced a drop in donations since November, Rainwater said.

“The economy is having the biggest impact on us,” he said.

But with news of the recent budget cuts, Rainwater said he’s hopeful alumni will use the opportunity to donate more for the University.

Students called alums for the E. J. Ourso College of Business, last week, and this week workers will begin calling the College of Engineering and will continue down the list of colleges until all have been called, Rainwater said.

“I think people are going to rally around us,” he said.

Tigers even season series with ‘Bama, move to 7-1 in conference play

The LSU men’s basketball team woke up Sunday afternoon faster than a freshman who overslept a mid-term.

Tigers achieve first win against Florida since 2005 LSU posts season high in victory

By Andy Schwehm Sports Contributor

BENJAMIN OLIVER HICKS / The Daily Reveille

Members of LSU’s gymnastics team rush the floor Friday to congratulate teammate Ashleigh Clare-Kearney on her floor exercise in the PMAC.

Members of the No. 11 LSU gymnastics team weren’t ready to pat themselves on the back Friday night, despite posting a season-high score.

“I think we are capable of so much more,” said LSU senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney. “We still had mistakes, and we still had landings that weren’t stuck, especially on vault.”

Despite those mistakes, the Tigers (7-2, 2-2) got their first home victory of the season and their first victory against Florida (3-2, 2-2) since 2005, defeating the No. 8 Gators, 196.800195.825.

The .975 victory also broke the 19-straight seasons the two teams have had of the meets being decided by five-tenths of a point or less.

“Tonight we finally acted as a team and … It was a great performance and definitely something we needed.”

Clare-Kearney posted a

The Tigers posted a seasonlow 49.150 on the vault but placed the top three in the event with Jackson winning the title (9.90), Clare-Kearney coming in second with a season-low 9.875 and LSU freshman Gloria Johnson coming in third with a season-high 9.85.

The Tigers followed up the season low by posting a seasonhigh 49.425 on the bars.

“A season-high on that event is a tough event — like beam — to get a season high on,” said LSU coach D-D Breaux. “Hopefully, this will be a new benchmark for this team, and they will realize why we are demanding so much.”

MARTIAL ARTS

Capoeira master visits LSU, Baton Rouge clubs Group hoping to expand awareness

By Amos Morale Sports Contributor

A group of individuals who appeared to be break-dancing drew a small crowd outside of the USS Kidd downtown on Sunday afternoon.

But the group was actually participating in a roda, where participants practice the Afro-Brazilian cul-

tural dance martial art of capoeira.

The group was composed of members of Capoeira Angola Palmares Baton Rouge and the Capoeria Club at LSU, and they performed moves of the martial art that originated in Brazil.

“It was created in slavery, and it is an expression of freedom,” said Donovon Miller, who leads the Capoeira Angola Palmares Baton Rouge. “You learn to move your body, and you learn to think if your mind is open. And you have total control of yourself physically. Then

mentally you are truly free.”

Capoeira resembles a dance because the slaves wanted to practice the martial art without their masters knowing.

The clubs hold roda often, but Sunday’s was special because it featured the participation of the Contra Mestre Pererê. The Contra Mestre, or counter or assistant master — whose real name is Eric Johnson — said Miller invited him to work to with the groups.

Johnson currently lives in Oregon and has practiced capoeira since

the late 1980s.

“He invited me to come here and do a musical instrument work shop and to lead a weak of a workshops in movements, music, art and culture of capoeira,” Johnson said.

The roda is performed with music played by drums and the berimbau, a one-stringed percussion instrument Johnson helped the groups build.

“It is done with music,” Miller said. “The rhythm and the pacing is led by the berimbaus. It tells you the type of game to play either to play

low to the ground, to play high or whether to play slow or fast.”

Brooke Cassidy, graduate student in ceramics, said the club at LSU was hoping to expose more people to capoeira.

“I started taking the class last semester at the Rec Center, and I just really loved it,” Cassidy said.

Lack of pitching depth hurts Tigers in Hawaii LSU opens season with 3-2 record

By Jarred LeBlanc Sports Contributor

The No. 19 LSU softball team opened its season with mixed results in the Paradise Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The Tigers (3-2) began the tournament with a 10-5 win Thursday against Alabama-Birmingham to increase the team’s season opening record to 12-1 since 1997.

“There is always jitters in the

first game,” said LSU coach Yvette Girouard. “We hit the ball well.”

The Tigers showed their lack of depth in the circle against No. 10 Oklahoma in an 8-0 loss Friday.

Girouard said the pitching rotation is going to be a problem for the team for a while.

“This pitching staff right now is truly piecemeal,” Girouard said. “[Junior Baylor transfer Kirsten] Shortridge did have surgery before she got here, so she’s been limited.

Really the only healthy pitchers we have are a freshman in Brittany Mack and [sophomore] Casey Faile.”

Faile stepped in the circle against Hawaii in the team’s second

game Friday and led the Tigers to a 6-5 victory against the Warriors.

Faile threw the Tigers’ first complete game this season despite giving up a three-run home run in the seventh inning.

“It was hers to win or lose,” Girouard said. “She had thrown a great game up until that point.”

The Tigers opened Saturday with a rematch against UAB. LSU tried to rally late against the Blazers, scoring thee runs in the top of the seventh to pull ahead, 3-2, but a walk-off three-run home run by UAB’s Amanda Allen in the bottom of the inning gave the Blazers the victory.

Shortridge struck out four and gave up six hits in 3 1/3 innings.

“We didn’t get it going right off the bat like we should have,” Shortridge said. “I was definitely struggling.”

The team managed to salvage the day when LSU held off Hawaii again, 6-5, in a nine-inning rematch.

Girouard said the trip to Hawaii was a good recruiting tool because it showed recruits the team can travel all over the country. She said the team had to move its schedule around to budget for the trip, and as a result, most away games in the Southeastern Conference will be bus trips instead of flights.

“So this is our one big trip,” Girouard said. “Next year we have to take a whole lot more flights in the SEC, so that would have been truly out of the window for us to be able to come here next year.”

Freshman Juliana Santos said the opportunity to play in Hawaii was intriguing when she was deciding what school to attend.

“When I found out that we were going to go Hawaii my freshman year, I was very excited,” Santos said.

The LSU women’s tennis team notched wins in two states this weekend, and the men’s team added a win in the team’s home opener to complete a weekend sweep for LSU tennis.

The No. 25 women’s team pulled out a 4-3 win at No. 27 Texas A&M on Sunday after dominating No. 73 Southern Methodist University in Baton Rouge on Friday.

Hornets defeat T-Wolves, 101-97

By Brett Martel The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The short-handed New Orleans Hornets overcame the ejection of David West in a 101-97 victory on Sunday night.

Rasual Butler scored 23 and Devin Brown 14 for New Orleans Sean Marks dunked with 7.8 seconds left to cap a careerhigh 18-point effort. The hornets won their second straight game while handing Minnesota its thirdstraight loss.

Al Jefferson led Minnesota with 25 points and 14 rebounds, but had to be helped off the court inside the final 30 seconds with an apparent right knee injury.

New Orleans, already starting the game without All-Star Chris Paul (groin) and starting center Tyson Chandler (ankle), lost another All-Star when West was ejected late in the second quarter.

West was called for a flagrant-2 foul when he chopped down over the back of Mike Miller’s shoulder as Miller attempted a fast-break layup. West’s forearm caught Miller in the face, but Miller remained in the game with no apparent injury.

Making matters worse, Peja Stojakovic, who hit seven 3s in a season-high 28-point performance in New Orleans’ most recent victory Friday night, was only 1-for10 from the field until late in the fourth quarter against Minnesota.

HORNETS, see page 8

openers this weekend at “Dub” Robinson Stadium, as the No. 16 ranked LSU men’s team also defeated No. 27 Rice on Saturday, 4-3.

The women’s team swept SMU in doubles play and went 5-1 in singles play.

In women’s singles competition, LSU’s No. 5 ranked Megan Falcon won both her matches, improving her season record to 17-4.

“It was a very good win,” Minnis said. “I was really impressed with our team and our very hard-fought victory.”

The men’s team swept in doubles against Rice while splitting the singles matches, 3-3.

“We need everyone to play that well to win,” said LSU men’s coach Jeff Brown. “That’s a good team.

They’ll be top 20 by the end of this summer.”

In doubles, the duo of Michael Venus and Neal Skupski defeated Rice’s Tobias Schiel and Christoph Muller, 8-5.

Venus and Skupski improved their doubles record to 3-0. Venus was formerly teamed up with James Cluskey.

“In doubles we got victories all the way around,” Brown said. “It ultimately took Neal [Skupsi], Julian [Gauthier] and Sebastian [Carlsson] — two sophomores and a freshman — to come through for us.”

Carlsson took the first victory for the Tigers in men’s singles play dominating No. 61 Sam GarforthBles (6-0, 7-6) in straight sets.

Rice’s Rosa proved why he is ranked No. 26 in the nation after a convincing victory versus Cluskey (6-1, 6-1).

LSU sophomore Julian Gauthier gave the Tigers the lead, and freshman Neal Skupski sealed the win.

LSU’s No. 2 ranked Michael Venus lost a back-and-forth match against Rice’s Christoph Muller. Venus and Muller split the first two sets.

But the third set ended up being the turning point, as Venus lost his composure and slammed his racket into

the court after Muller began to take the advantage. Muller won the final set, 6-1.

“He was just frustrated going in,” Brown said. “He knew it was going to be a tough match.”

But Venus’ loss was irrelevant, as LSU had already sealed the victory against Rice shortly after Venus’ third set began.

“There’s just a rule that you have to play once the third set starts,” Brown said. “Sometimes depending on the situation, people are able to stop. He wanted to stop, but he would have to default anyway. He was just frustrated. We reiterated the rule to him, and he understands. He’s glad the team won ultimately.”

The LSU men’s team will next match up against No. 1 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, on Feb. 22.

The women will host Florida State and Southern at Robinson Stadium the same day.

TRACK AND FIELD

Tigers finish second in New Balance Invitational Women’s team places sixth overall

By Rowan Kavner Sports Contributor

LSU’s track and field teams topped the NCAA leaderboard this weekend when they traveled to New York’s Armory Track and Field Center for the New Balance Collegiate Invitational.

The Tigers posted more season bests in individual categories en route to finishing second in the Invitational.

They racked up 60 points finishing second to Baylor (65), while the Lady Tigers finished sixth in the women’s standings with 43 points.

HORNETS, from page 7

The Hornets escaped with the victory only because they got the best performances they’ve seen from Marks, acquired in the offseason, and point guard Antonio Daniels, who arrived in a trade after the season began. Daniels had 12 points and seven assists while starting for Paul.

The Hornets finished with 42 points from reserves, including Brown’s total and nine points from James Posey.

LSU junior LaTavia Thomas set an NCAA-leading time (2 minutes, 4.54 seconds) in her first 800-meter race of the season, breaking her own previous meet record set at last year’s New Balance Collegiate Invitational.

Thomas won the Most Outstanding Female Performer of the meet after also anchoring the winning 4x400-meter relay team, which set its first NCAA provisional qualifying time of the year at 3 minutes, 38.84 seconds.

She became the first Lady Tiger to set an automatic qualifying time for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.

LSU junior Samantha Henry, who teamed with Thomas in the 4x400, set an NCAA provisional qualifying time in the 200 meters (23.61 seconds) Saturday af-

ter setting an NCAA provisional qualifying time in the 60 meters Friday (7.33 seconds).

LSU sophomore and Kings Park, N.Y., native Walter Henning won the weight throw with a meet record of 72 feet, 8 1/2 inches, becoming the first LSU athlete to win the event at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational.

“It was really nice to come back to the same circle where I threw for so many years in high school and set a meet record,” Henning said in a news release.

“I really wanted to compete more than anything, and I think I did that.”

The LSU men’s long jumpers swept the top two spots Friday. No two athletes from the same school had ever swept the long jump at the meet before.

LSU junior Will Coppage won the event with an NCAAleading mark and new personal best jump of 25 feet, 7 1/4 inches.

Coppage went into the meet without a 2009 NCAA qualifying mark, and left with a mark one inch farther than his previous best set at the 2007 Indoor Championships.

“We just had a great week of practice as a group, and I knew I could put it all together,” Coppage said in a news release. “When I hit that big jump, I felt really good going off the board, and my landing was much better. I knew it was a big one,” LSU senior Jeremy Hicks finished second and set an NCAA provisional qualifying mark at 25 feet, 3 1/2 inches after fouling on his first two attempts.

LSU junior Trindon Holliday continued his winning ways in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.56 seconds, matching his own 2009 NCAA-leading time.

“Trindon continues to look great running the 60 meters,” said LSU track and field coach Dennis Shaver in a news release. “He’s just a very confident runner right now.”

LSU junior Josh Dominguez set the first provisional mark of his career with an NCAA provisional clearance of 17 feet, 3/4 inches in the pole vault.

“This is another step in the right direction for both our teams,” Shaver said.

Jefferson had all of his points during the first three quarters.

Swarmed by defenders in the final period, he got off only two shots and missed both. He then landed awkwardly on his right leg after attempting to block Marks’ dunk attempt with 27.2 seconds to go.

Jefferson was called for a foul on the missed shot, then hopped toward the sideline before falling to the floor. He did not put any weight on his right leg as he was helped to the locker room.

Marks made only one free

throw to put New Orleans up 9594, then Marks fouled Minnesota’s Randy Foye, who made both free throws to put Minnesota back in the lead with 16.8 seconds left.

After Marks’ dunk put New Orleans ahead again, Minnesota looked for a fast break the other way, but Sebastian Telfair’s crosscourt pass sailed out of bounds behind Miller.

Minnesota was then forced to foul and the Hornets got the ball to Stojakovic, who despite a lousy night from the field did not miss

any of his seven free throws in the game and finished with 11 points.

Minnesota’s loss wasted a strong performance by Ryan Gomes, whose five 3-pointers were a career-high for a single game.

Gomes finished with 21 points, while Telfair had 14 points and Kevin Love 12.

After scoring only one point in the first quarter, West appeared to be coming on strong in the second, when he scored eight points on several strong inside moves and a mid-range jump shot. But

West seemingly lost his cool when he thought he was fouled while turning the ball over. No foul was called, and as West ran back on defense he committed the flagrant foul on Miller with 1:53 to go in the period.

The Hornets trailed 48-43 when West was thrown out, but pulled to 52-49 by halftime.

attendance at the PMAC had to be wondering if the Tigers were still hitting the snooze button. Alabama raced out to an 11-2 lead fueled by four LSU turnovers, while the Tigers shot 1-of-6 from the field.

“We came onto the court without intensity,” said senior guard Garrett Temple. “Coach [Johnson] was a little upset ... We were just sluggish offensively. We were not executing like we know we can.”

Then the alarm went off.

LSU outscored Alabama, 36-17, from the 14-minute mark of the first half. Senior guard Marcus Thornton shot 80 percent from the field for 20 first-half points on the way to a 22-point performance.

Junior forward Tasmin Mitchell made a rare 3-point appearance, shooting 2-of-2 from the arc on the day for 16 points and 11 rebounds overall — his sixth double-double of the season.

“I was just open at the top more than I was open at the bottom,” Mitchell said. “I just shot wide open shots.”

Temple shot 2-of-3 from 3-point range to finish with 10 points, his highest total since notching 14 at Ole Miss on Jan. 17.

“Coach always wants me to be aggressive, especially going toward the rim,” Temple said. “I haven’t been scoring. My wrist hurts, so my outside jump shot isn’t as comfortable, so I tried to get to the rim a little bit and put up some more points for

VICTORY, from page 5 Jackson won the bar title with a season-high 9.925. ClareKearney posted a 9.900 to tie for second in the event. Five Tigers posted season-highs in the event.

The Tigers held a 98.57598.150 lead against the Gators through the first rotation, and refused to give it up, as they posted another season high with a 49.300 on the beam.

Johnson posted a seasonhigh 9.800 on the apparatus, her second season high of the night.

“I don’t want to diminish ... how well she performed, but that’s the tip of the iceberg,” Breaux said. “She’s so talented, so I was very pleased to see her break through tonight.”

Engle also posted a season high of 9.85 on the beam. ClareKearney tied her season high of 9.875.

The team then scored a 48.925 on the floor to finish up the victory.

Clare-Kearney posted a season-high 9.975 to finish up the night and win the event. Junior Kayla Rogers posted a seasonhigh 9.90 to tie for second.

The Tigers head to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Friday to face the No. 9 Crimson Tide (3-2, 2-2). The Tide are coming off a seasonhigh 197.025 in their victory Friday night against Denver.

“I’m pleased with the pattern of our workouts and ... the progress we are making, but we need to continue to make small strides and small improvements as we go into our meet next week with Alabama,” Breaux said.

the team.”

Alabama gave away the lead and the game over a dismal fiveminute stretch in the first half. The Crimson Tide missed six shots from the field and shot 0-for-3 from the free throw line from the eight-minute mark to the three-minute mark of the first half.

“There were times when we were able to get the ball where we wanted to get it around the basket,” said Alabama interim coach Philip Pearson. “We just couldn’t convert the shots, and I think a lot of that had to do with the defensive pressure.”

Alabama sophomore guard Senario Hillman, who buried LSU with 24 points in the teams’ first meeting, finished with 11 points while shooting 28 percent from the field.

LSU’s bench saw some of its most extensive play of the conference season. Freshman guard Chris Bass finished with five points, his first scoring output in conference play. Senior forward Quintin Thornton has been battling injuries for much of the past three weeks but managed four points in 12 minutes.

“Chris Bass in the first half was real, real good,” Johnson said.

“Down the stretch in the second half, near the 10-minute mark, we were able to rest a lot of guys and get some guys some meaningful minutes against good players.”

BULLDOGS, from page 5

Dunning helped LSU push the deficit to 18-9 with a free throw and a layup.

But Mississippi State junior forward Chanel Mokango answered by starting a 7-0 run capped by a fadeaway 18-footer by junior guard Alexis Rack to push the Lady Bulldogs’ lead to 25-9 with six minutes left in the first half.

Rack led the Lady Bulldogs with 22 points, while Mokango scored 15 points and had four blocks.

Chancellor got his first technical foul since becoming LSU’s coach on the following possession.

An LSU player was unable to draw a foul while driving to the lane and Chancellor picked up a technical for arguing with officials.

Chancellor said the physicality of Sunday’s game was something he had not seen since his return to the college game.

“I’m amazed we didn’t have a fight in the game, and we almost did,” he said. “This was one of the most physical games I’ve been involved in.”

The Lady Tigers were unable to receive an offensive jolt from their coach’s emotion and missed 20 of their 26 shots in the opening half.

The Lady Bulldogs were equally anemic offensively the final six minutes of the half and were held scoreless by LSU. But the Lady Tigers were only able to trim

four points off the lead in that span to go into halftime trailing 27-13.

The Lady Bulldogs’ defense continued to stifle the LSU offense in the second half, keeping LSU without a field goal for the opening three minutes of the half while stretching their lead to 22 points.

‘Kelly was outstanding. That’s the best she’s played all year.’

Van Chancellor LSU coach

Following a scuffle during a jump-ball that saw Donnisha Tate receive a technical foul, LSU responded with a 10-0 run to cut the lead to 12 with 12 minutes to play.

Junior guard Andrea Kelly caught fire in the second half and scored a career-high 23 points —

all in the second half — to cut into the lead.

“Kelly was outstanding,” Chancellor said. “That’s the best she’s played all year.”

As a whole, LSU’s offense played better in the final half and shot 44 percent from the field, but the Lady Tigers were unable to create enough defensive stops to cut further into Mississippi State’s lead.

LSU, Mississippi State and Georgia are now tied at 5-4 for fifth place in the SEC. But things will not get easier for LSU as two of their final five games will come against ranked competition.

“We’ve got to get some wins,” Chancellor said. “We’ve got to play.”

MY OPINION

Actors, musicians try new genres

Lil Wayne is still enjoying the success of last year’s “Tha Carter III.” The record went on to sell more than a million copies its first week. It was the best selling album of 2008 and won Album of the Year at the 51st Grammy Awards.

So what’s next for the “best rapper alive?”

How can he possibly top the success of “Tha Carter III?” By releasJOSHUA CHENIER Entertainment ing a rock album.

Writer Lil Wayne announced Jan. 23 on MTV that his next album due out April 7 will not be a re-release of “Tha Carter III,” but a new rock album titled “Rebirth.”

Lil Wayne making a rock album? Seems a bit odd, but on Jan. 27 the first track from the album “Prom Queen” appeared on Lil Wayne’s MySpace page.

I have to be honest when I say I didn’t really care for Lil Wayne’s new material. After listening to “Prom Queen” and “Hot Revolver,” a track leaked from the new album, I was skeptical this album would prove to be successful.

I really wasn’t a big fan of “A Milli” when it came out either, but after repeated listens I fell in love with the track. I’m hoping the same thing happens with his new material.

MUSIC

Open-mic nights gives beginners a chance to perform Several local venues host new musicians

By Jack LeBlanc Entertainment writer

Baton Rouge isn’t known for its music scene the way Austin, Texas, or Nashville, Tenn., are. But several local musicians are doing their best to change that and give emerging musicians a chance.

David Borne, University alumnus and local musician, hosts open-mic night every Monday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Roux House downtown.

It is a laid-back environment, with no sign-up and sets that last 30-40 minutes.

For many aspiring musicians, openmic nights like the one at the Roux House offer the time and place to practice.

“It’s cool to watch people get so much better,” Borne said. “A lot of people who started here have their own gigs now.”

One such musician is singer and songwriter Daniel Patterson.

Patterson said he has been writing songs for five years but was reluctant to perform in front of strangers.

“I was nervous as all hell the first time I played at the Roux House,” Patterson said. “But as I got more experience, I got a lot more comfortable. I just had to take that first step.”

Since his first performance, Patterson has gotten paid gigs through networking with the hosts and regulars

at the various open-mic nights around town.

He also won an open-mic contest at the Roux House, giving him the opportunity to open for the band Soul Haven.

“I like open mic because it’s typically a pretty casual attitude,” Patterson said. “The crowd is a little more forgiving, and everyone is just there to have a good time.”

Patterson liked performing openmic night so much he decided to start his own open mic at BrewHaha coffee shop on Jefferson Highway on Sunday evenings.

“I’d say it’s the best open mic for performers in Baton Rouge,” Patterson said. “The mood is very low key, the audience is attentive and enjoys the OPEN MIC, see page 13

AWARDS

Krauss, Lil Wayne win big at annual Grammy awards

Coldplay takes home Song of the Year

By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ unorthodox musical partnership yielded rich rewards on Grammy night, as the pair won a leading four Grammys, including record of the year for the haunting

REBIRTH, from page 11 be an album I’ll enjoy, I am glad Lil Wayne chose to do this.

It sends a message that regardless of what’s popular in the music scene today, some artists can be successful while taking a new direction in their musical careers.

Kanye West was put under the radar late last year when he released “808’s and Heartbreak.” The album was filled with auto-tuned lyrics over tribal drum beats, a different direction from tuned up soul samples.

The album received mixed reviews but maintained a strong position the Billboard charts, reaching No. 1 on Dec. 13. The album proved to be a success for West, calling it his best album to date in Vibe magazine.

It goes to show some musicians can be successful even when they branch out from the sound that

“Please Read The Letter.”

At the same moment that the show was going on, teen heartthrob and double Grammy nominee Chris Brown was talking with detectives about an alleged felony assault on an unidentified woman the night before.

Police records showed he was being held on $50,000 bail.

Brown and longtime girlfriend Rihanna, also nominated, were both slated to perform in different slots

of the show, but separately dropped out at the last minute. The victim of Brown’s alleged assault wasn’t identified, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether Rihanna’s absence was related to Brown’s.

Jennifer Hudson was there, however, and provided the night’s most emotional moments onstage. The Oscar winner took her first Grammy award — for best R&B album — for her self-titled debut.

The Grammy telecast was filled with eye-popping and eyebrow-raising performances, from Radiohead’s collaboration with a college marching band to a televised black-and-white throwback performance from Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Wayne, Kanye West and a very pregnant M.I.A. Coldplay and Lil Wayne each won three Grammys apiece — Coldplay’s win included song of the year for “Viva La Vida.”

Lil Wayne was the nominations leader with eight, and won best rap solo performance for “A Milli,” rap song for “Lollipop” and rap/sung collaboration for “Swagga Like Us.”

made them famous.

Some musicians pursue other goals besides music and take their chances with acting.

After the success of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé went solo and found immediate success. She was cast in an MTV made-for-television movie “Carmen: A Hip Hopera.” The musical film was directed by Robert Townsend and starred Mos Def, Wyclef Jean and Mekhi Phifer.

Beyoncé also had other success in acting, like starring in the movies “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” “The Fighting Temptations” and “The Pink Panther.”

Other celebrities have even tried their luck in music.

After recording minor hit songs “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and “Summertime” as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Will Smith landed his own show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Smith began a dual career, re-

leasing “Big Willie Style” in 1997 while also starring in “Independence Day” and “Men in Black.”

Smith is now one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, commanding at least $20 million per film.

While these actors and musicians found success in either television or music, other celebrities don’t receive the same warm response.

After playing John McClane in the “Die Hard” film series, Bruce Willis released a pop blues album entitled “The Return of Bruno” which was received with mixed reviews, not scoring higher than 14th on the billboard chart.

Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael even started their own band called The Bacon Brothers.

They have released four albums since 1997.

And while The Bacon Brothers aren’t one of the artists on my iTunes, it still proves actors and

musicians can pursue other goals in different fields and find more fame and success.

The latest addition to this gang is Joaquin Phoenix. The actor who has starred and written music for “Walk the Line” while also appearing in “Gladiator,” “Ladder 49” and “We Own the Night.”

Phoenix announced his retirement from acting in October to focus on a music career.

He performed his first rap show earlier this month and is said to be working on an album with the Charlatan’s front man, Tim Burgess.

Whether Phoenix will succeed as a rapper is to be determined, but he definitely has the ability to have

some kind of successful music career.

He is another example of a celebrity with the ability to conquer more than one genre in his career.

So until the release of “Rebirth” on April 7, I’ll just keep an open ear out for some new songs from Lil Wayne and hope they grow on me. And if not, it won’t be too much longer before “Tha Carter 4” comes out.

Patterson said he thinks Baton Rouge as a music scene has taken off in the last few years, but still has a way to go to catch up with Austin, Athens, Ga., or Nashville.

“It seems as if original music has found a foothold recently and continues to expand, and I think we need to do everything we can to keep that going,” Patterson said. “There’s no reason we can’t be the next Athens or Austin. We’ve got 30,000 college kids here along with the rest of the general population and New Orleans right down the road. We’ve got to be able to make something happen.”

Borne said he has had a good amount of success playing in Baton Rouge and has been able

to work only as a musician since graduating in 2006.

“It’s a cool town. You could actually make more money playing music in Baton Rouge than in a big music town like Austin and Nashville,” Borne said. “There’s always someone playing acoustic guitar somewhere.”

Another option for acoustic performers is French Quarter Daiquiris. Benjamin Moore has been hosting the Thursday open-mic night off and on for five years.

There are typically five or six performers who play a mixture of covers and original music.

“It’s a smaller open-mic night, so it’s where a lot of guys start,” Moore said. “Performers get a chance to get up there and perform for people without the pressures of a three hour gig.”

Moore said once performers play a few open-mics, they are usually ready to start looking for their own gigs.

the world.

“It’s difficult to make any kind of generalization about the meaning of the superhero,” said Brannon Costello, English assistant professor. “An appealing element of the superhero is that it is densely packed with meaning and significance.”

For years, this symbol was something people would find only in a comic book, movie or television show, but recently hundreds of people have begun to take it to the streets.

In just the past few years a grassroots movement has formed called the Real Life Superhero Community.

Men and women across the country make their own costumes and head out into their communities to serve and protect.

Their Web site, Reallifesuperheroes.org, has a full roster of male and female superheroes across the country.

Some heroes, such as Master Legend of Orlando, Fla., go out and patrol their neighborhood streets in search of crime; others seek to change the world by ac-

tively showing life can be different through hard work.

Warner took his character and developed it into a real superhero the kids of New Orleans could follow.

Starting out with a digital camera and a laptop, Warner set out to create the first episodes of The Black Ghost television series to air on a public access channel.

Since those first days in 2005, The Black Ghost has grown into a full production with the help of 30 volunteers.

Warner constantly works side by side with the New Orleans Police Department to raise public safety awareness.

Through his social work with kids and teenagers, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin named The Black Ghost the official New Orleans superhero and an Ambassador of Hope for the city.

Warner stays busy, as he and his non-profit production company continue to shoot The Black Ghost and planning a workshop that allows high school seniors to earn college credit by working on The Black Ghost set.

“I’ll know that my work has meant something when I can see

But not all performers do well their first time.

“There are definitely people who come in and you cut them short,” Moore said.

Borne said when performers are struggling on stage, he uses his skills as a host to politely let them know they only have time for one more song.

“I just smile and clap and hope nobody leaves,” Borne said.

“Most people that are bad the first time get a lot better when they come back.”

An unpaid internship coaching football took him to the University of Virginia, though he had no prior experience with the sport. Continuing circumstances kept him moving from job to job, and by the time he was working at a Home Depot in Atlanta, Seddiqui said he had had enough.

the doorstep of a new adventure in American employment — 50 jobs in 50 states in 50 weeks.

“At first I kept getting rejected, but I was use to that,” Seddiqui said.

By Sept. 1, he was in Salt Lake City working in the humanitarian services business for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where he put together hygiene kits for the victims of Hurricane Ike. Just a week later, he was in Denver working as a hydrologist.

“That was kind of over my head during the first day,” Seddiqui said. “I’ve worked six science jobs since, and I always manage to catch on.”

From week to week, it was never the same. He was sometimes forced to sleep in the back of his Jeep Grand Cherokee as he roamed the country when he couldn’t find a place to stay.

For Seddiqui, this adventure has been more than just about finding work. Because he tries to work in careers that relate to the state he is in, he said he’s showcasing what

each state has to offer both culturally and economically.

“I use to drive through farm fields without caring, but now I can completely understand their function,” Seddiqui said. “I care more about this country now than I ever have before. I’m living the life of someone in each state.”

As his travels became popularized through his Web site and local and national media, Seddiqui was offered numerous book and movie deals.

“I want to write about my firsthand experiences with these careers because so many people get out of college into a career and don’t know what they’re getting themselves into,” Seddiqui said.

Seddiqui arrived in Louisiana last Monday after spending a week as a petroleum engineer in Houston. On his way to New Orleans to work a stint on Bourbon Street as a bartender, he passed through Baton Rouge and visited the University.

On his Web site, Seddiqui said it was the nicest campus he had seen.

On Tuesday, Seddiqui was be-

hind the bar of the Funky Pirate on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Though he doesn’t drink alcohol, he said he enjoyed the music and culture of the city.

“I wonder why people would go to Europe when they could just go to New Orleans,” Seddiqui said.

Working outside his comfort zone is something Seddiqui is accustomed to, but he said working in a New Orleans bar made time go by fast.

“He’s willing to test and try things, and that is what it takes in life,” said Pam Fortner, co-owner of the Funky Pirate. “He just has an initiative about him, who knows how he didn’t get a job in California.”

Fortner said Seddiqui is a people person and worked well in the bar room. However, she said she’s sure he would never settle down into a career on Bourbon Street.

“I think he would be more geared to a conventional job,” Fortner said. “I feel he could do the job, but I think he wants to get closer to using his degree.”

Fortner housed Seddiqui in an apartment she owns on Bourbon Street while he was in town. Because he had never been to New Orleans before, Fortner gave him time off from the bar and took him on a tour of the city.

Fortner and Seddiqui drove to the Lower and Upper 9th Ward, Lakeview and St. Charles neighborhoods to tour some of the parts of the city still blighted by Hurricane Katrina.

“People still talk about Katrina like it happened last week,” Seddiqui said. “It’s really hard to comprehend.”

On Sunday morning, after an eight-hour shift behind the bar, Seddiqui packed up and headed for Mississippi, where he will work as a nutritionist. With 29 weeks left, there is still work to be done.

“I like animals,” he said. “It’s really exciting. There’s a lot of interesting things. I’m impressed and excited.”

Students found participation in the event rewarding and timeconsuming.

“It’s great to see all the people and how interested they are,” said

Grace Burns, second-year vet student. “There’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that people don’t realize.”

Most of the funding for the event came from corporate sponsorships like pharmaceutical and pet food companies.

Ginger Guttner, Vet School public relations coordinator, said the open house was a way to show the community what veterinarians do.

“This is a way for us to show

that vets do more than just dog and cat medicine,” she said.

Taboada agreed, adding that the open house showed people veterinarians have a big impact on human health, as well.

“Vets are very much involved in the health of people through public health and through food safety,” he said. He added that their research “has a focus on animals. But the animal serves as a model for human health.”

Guttner could not provide at-

tendance estimates by press time.

She noted, however, the school was pleased with the turnout, as people showed up before the event started at 9 a.m.

“It has definitely been a steady stream of people,” she said.

Trent Johnson’s on-court success killing students I never had anything personal against John Brady.

Sure, his bland “paint peeling off the wall” offensive strategy was a bit excruciating to endure.

And maybe his patented “Brady Ball” style didn’t exactly generate the level of excitement and enthusiasm from students and fans we would’ve liked.

Say what you will about the former headman’s comportment.

At least his offensive strategy wasn’t systematically endangering our health.

Trent Johnson, on the other hand, has evidently made it his priority to destroy our student body.

Literally.

During the past few years, the Raising Cane’s Challenge has become a staple of LSU basketball.

The rules are simple: If LSU exceeds the pre-ordained mark — whether it be a point total like 75 points or a shooting mark like seven total threes — LSU students can win free food from Raising Cane’s.

During Brady’s tenure, these challenges were rarely met because of the more anemic offensive stratagem of the previous coaching staff.

But this season has been a completely different story.

During LSU’s current seven game SEC winning streak, the team has averaged more than 81 points per game.

Meanwhile, the Tigers’ defense has only given up 65 points per game.

But it’s not the defensive side of the ball that has me concerned.

LSU’s offense has been far too dynamic lately. As a result, student health is officially on high alert.

Raising Cane’s fat-drenched, grease-enhanced fast food deliberately kills healthy bodies.

A single Raising Cane’s chicken finger accounts for about 127 calories.

A standard Box combo at Canes – minus a drink – carries a hefty toll of more than 1,200 calories. The daily amount recommended for stable health, according to Human Health, is only about 2,000 calories.

Louisiana adults weigh in at the third-most obese in the nation, according to the Center for Disease Control.

More 30 percent of our residents over age 21 suffer from obesity, which often begins dur-

ing college years when students are more prone to develop unhealthy eating habits.

But it’s not just Johnson that’s in on this whole scheme.

Starting last spring, Raising Cane’s introduced LSU football coach Les Miles as one of their leading spokesmen.

His patented voice has since become a trademark for greaseScott Burns guzzling gurus Columnist and calorieclobbering aficionados, alike.

Because of their interactive role in LSU activities, Raising Cane’s has become one of the most popular food destinations for students.

But if we want to protect student health and vitality, there is still time to counteract this growing trend by raising awareness and taking action.

There’s many ways you can contribute to the cause by taking part in such efforts as “Call A Skinny Girl Fat Day” and “Make a Guy Insecure About His Weight Week.”

But, more than anything, we

need to ensure Coach Johnson and the Tigers don’t keep scoring at unprecedented rates. The more the Tigers reach the Cane’s challenge, the more likely we’ll herd back to Raising Cane’s.

As college students, money is rarely an accessible commodity. So whenever there’s a chance to stuff some free meat in our mouths, we’re bound to take advantage of it.

No one cares if the food is destined to give us cardiovascular dysfunction and flapping love handles.

But that doesn’t ameliorate the fact Raising Cane’s chicken fingers are as threatening to student health as Islamic extremists are to domestic security.

Cane’s chicken fingers are addictively delicious and inevitably hazardous. It’s like a drug.

And according to Mr. Mackey from South Park, “Drugs are bad.”

So, for the love of God, Tigers: Stop feeding the ball underneath to Tasmin Mitchell.

Stop setting up open threes for Bo Spencer.

Stop throwing the ball up to Chris Johnson.

And, for Allah’s sake, keep

the ball as far away from Marcus Thorton as humanly possible.

The more points our team puts on the board, the more girth we add to our waistline. And the last thing this campus needs is more fat sorority girls.

There’s something much more important at stake than winning a few games and maybe even an SEC title: The health of our students.

Unfortunately, it looks as though there’s no way we can possibly alter this trend. Success, it seems, is inevitable. And the point barrage will only continue.

But you can’t keep the wool pulled over our eyes any longer, Trent. This isn’t Stanford. We aren’t stupid.

So maybe it’s time we brought back sloppy Brady Ball.

There’s plenty of ways you can do this, coach.

You can start by taking a hike on the Oregon Trail.

I’m pretty sure Ben Voogd is still available.

WALK HARD

Socialist policies of Bush, Obama stifle progress If there was ever any doubt the federal government is wasteful and inefficient, there can be no more debate.

President Barack Obama was able to charm people with his grace and eloquence.

His pedestrian proposals were secondary to the elation many felt about electing a president who could speak in complete sentences.

But recent events have shown his true colors — and that color is red.

When former President George W. Bush gave his treasury secretary Henry Paulson free rein to intimidate and coerce banks into signing on to his ill-advised attempt at averting economic disaster, he opened the door for Obama to impose his socialistlike will on corporate America.

During his last days in office, Bush gave an interview to CNN where he claimed, “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.”

Part of this abandonment of the free market included railroading through Congress a $700 billion march towards collectivism.

In October 2008, the Bush administration announced plans to “inject capital” into the coun-

try’s faltering financial institutions by purchasing equity in some of the largest banks.

Once the government began investing in stocks to help bolster the ailing economy, the country was set on a course from which we may not be able to recover.

“Whatever you want to call it, if we are strengthening them [the banks], then the American people should get some of the upside of that strengthening.

“Some people call that nationalization,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told ABC News earlier this year.

Some people don’t just call this nationalization — it is nationalization.

The government owns a portion of the institutions in which it has invested.

By purchasing ownership in private companies, the government has put itself in an untenable position.

Paulson began acting like a financial adviser for the American people — taking the money gained by fiat through taxation and unilaterally putting it into institutions unable to raise capital on their own.

These institutions were in trouble because private inves-

tors were scared to put their own money into them.

But Paulson felt it was his duty to override the public’s better judgment.

By investing taxpayers’ money without any consideration to the downside, Paulson also took it upon himself to pick winners and losers.

The government began controlling Drew Walker economic outColumnist put by propping up businesses that should have been allowed to fail.

Once the government begins supporting some businesses, others who don’t get help suffer.

Then they too have to grovel at the feet of the almighty.

The actions carried out by the Paulson-Bush bailouts have increased the dependence of the American people on the federal government to the detriment of us all.

Now the torch of self-assuredness has found its home in the person of Obama.

This past Wednesday, Obama unveiled his plan to cap executive

compensation at $500,000.

This is the first step in the culmination of what began with the Bush administration.

Now that the government has partial ownership in private industries, it can mandate how those industries are run.

Increasingly, the federal government will require private industry to conform to how the president thinks businesses should operate.

Instead of being given the freedom to innovate and succeed on its own, businesses will face increased stagnation because of federal policies.

Old industries will continue on past their usefulness, and new technologies will be held up in the name of the “common good.”

Businesses must be allowed to fail, regardless of how far reaching their influence.

Without the failure of the old ideas, the new can’t move forward.

The old Alex Box was near and dear to the hearts of every LSU baseball fan. It was the Rosentblatt of the South.

But now a new era is dawning in the storied history of the baseball program.

There’s a new stadium that

should be ready for opening day that is poised to help carry on the tradition of the old stadium while adding new memories of its own.

The Box will not be the same, but it will be the home of the Tigers as they swing their way into a new century of excellence.

This is how business should be conducted.

Never forget the past, but don’t get stuck in it.

Instead of strengthening America, the collectivist policies of both the past and new administration will eventually set America back.

Innovation, advancement and success will be severely hampered if the government doesn’t stop trying to “fix” the economy.

Capping salaries and directing how the industry should operate isn’t going to do anything but bog business down in the mud of old, rehashed socialist ideals.

The economy will fix itself if the process of purgation is allowed to be carried out.
