story by ANDREA GALLO · Senior Reporter

Chris Broussard was a goofball. W ith his bright, memorable smile, he wouldn’t have fit in at his funeral Monday at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. The crowd of more than 200 or so sobbed, whimpered and embraced one another throughout the Mass as they remembered their son, brother, cousin, friend and fellow LSU Tiger. “Sometimes, it felt like he didn’t have a serious bone in his body,” his friend Brett Conrad said. “That’s what made him special.” On his way home from Bogie’s Bar early last week, Broussard wrecked his truck and was killed. His parents filed a missing persons report last Tuesday afternoon. Broussard’s truck and body were found off Highway 30 in Bayou Manchac near St. Gabriel later that night. It hasn’t been determined yet if alcohol was a factor in the death. “It really could’ve been any of us,” said his cousin Jessica Drago, 22. Broussard had texted his mom, Lisa, minutes before he left Bogie’s. He told her he was on his way home. “I will leave the light on for you,” she responded. God left the light on for him too, said the Rev. Michael Collins during the Mass. Collins said he understands that people question why God didn’t turn Broussard’s wheel or step on his brake before the wreck. The priest acknowledged asking those

questions himself. But he said the answer will come when Broussard’s loved ones reach heaven and God shows them the bigger picture. “If they’ve touched you, if they’re inside of you, then they’re still yours,” Collins said during the homily. “The only thing you have are the ones you hold in your heart.” Broussard’s casket, covered in a creamcolored cloth woven with gold and silver squares, sat at the front of the church. Many of those gathered — ranging from children to college students to older friends and family — grasped the casket as they received Holy Communion. The Paschal Candle blazed next to it. Broussard was a sociology senior and a die-hard Tiger fan. The rarely-seen more serious side of him was revealed as part of his career aspirations. Broussard hoped to join the CIA or FBI and do investigative work. His aunt, Cindy Drago, said his longtime love of “Scooby-Doo” BROUSSARD, see page 15

CONSTRUCTION

UREC continues expansion, redesign Elizabeth Thomas Contributing Writer

With Phase II of the University Recreation Complex’s redesign plans set to begin today, students can expect more parking spots and tennis courts as soon as next semester. The 120-day project costs approximately $3.1 million and is part of the UREC’s expansion initiative that totals approximately $84.75 million, according to Laurie Braden, director of University Recreation. Phase II will introduce 363 new two-hour parking spaces for UREC use and nine tennis courts. “When the student planning committee was involved in the decision making for what they wanted in this project, parking was one of the first two items students wanted,” Braden said. The new parking spaces and tennis courts will be built on the UREC fields, which are typically used for intramural sports. Braden said that while the construction of Phase II will affect the UREC’s field sports for the fall and part of the spring semester, the UREC’s sport program has made modifications for this academic year UREC, see page 15

DINING

Chick-N-Grill moves to Union Desiree Robertson Contributing Writer

As the semester begins and campus eateries are ﬂooded in search of lunch options, returning students might notice a few changes. LSU Dining has moved Chick-N-Grill to the old Salsarita’s location, while Bayou Burgers, a University creation, will take Chick-N-Grill’s old spot near Patrick F. Taylor. Salsarita’s faced replacement because it did not have a campus program that created student-friendly prices, according to Don Koshis, LSU Dining Director of Operations. The average ticket cost was about $9.68, Koshis said.

Since Chick-N-Grill and Bayou Burgers are University creations, the restaurants can create their own prices and products that better ﬁt the needs of students. Chick-N-Grill has a wider menu that includes some of the same options as Salsarita’s, and the menu is still growing, Koshis said. Dean Samuels, marketing director of LSU Dining, said the changes aim to keep dining options fresh and interesting, but some students are not as excited about the changes. “I’m really upset that Salsarita’s is closed just because it was one of our favorite places to get lunch,” said Hayley Delira, Spanish junior. “I’m surprised that it closed because

whenever I walked by it always had one of the longest lines,” Bayou Burgers offers a menu with a Cajun twist. Some of the options include crab cake sliders, catﬁsh sandwiches and bayou shrimp balls. Samuels said the Bayou Burgers location has a new staff and better customer service. The building received a fresh coat of paint and a new layout that helps enhance the swamp-like look of the resturant. The design of the building allows students to feel as if they are away from campus, Samuels said. Bayou Burgers will soon be CHICK-N-GRILL, see page 4

INTERNATIONAL Lava lamps: still groovy as fiftieth birthday is celebrated LONDON (AP) — Call them ‘60s relics or hippy home accessories, lava lamps have been casting their dim but groovy light on interiors for half a century, having hit British shelves 50 years ago on Tuesday. A British company began marketing their original creation as an “exotic conversation piece” in 1963. Since then, millions of models of the much-copied invention have been sold worldwide. The design was created by British inventor Edward CravenWalker, who was inspired by an odd-looking liquid-filled egg timer he saw in a pub in southwest Britain. With eye on Iran, Israelis seek US action in Syria sooner over later JERUSALEM (AP) — Behind an official wall of silence, Israel is signaling it wants the U.S. to strike Syria sooner rather than later, fearing that continued inaction could hurt American credibility in the region. Yet at the same time, Israel appears to have little desire to see Syrian President Bashar Assad toppled, on the theory that a familiar foe is preferable to some of those who might replace him, especially the Islamist extremists who are increasingly powerful in the rebellion.

US-Brazil tensions rise after new National Security Agency spy report

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Brazilian government condemned a US spy program that reportedly targeted the nation’s leader, labeled it an “unacceptable invasion” of sovereignty and called Monday for international regulations to protect citizens and governments alike from cyber espionage. In a sign that fallout over the spy program is spreading, the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported that President Dilma Rousseff is considering canceling her October trip to the US. The president’s office declined to comment.

US endurance swimmer first to swim to Florida from Cuba without cage

Xavier University rebounds after devastation from Hurricane Katrina

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Looking dazed and sunburned, US endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked ashore Monday, becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the help of a shark cage. The 64-year-old Nyad swam up to the beach just before 2 p.m. EDT, about 53 hours after starting her journey from Havana on Saturday. As she approached, spectators waded into waist-high water and surrounded her, taking pictures and cheering her on. ‘Heat days’ become more common for schools when weather is hot

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Eight years ago, Xavier University took a heavy blow from Hurricane Katrina and its floodwaters. But while the public University of New Orleans and Southern University at New Orleans have struggled to rebound, this private, Catholic institution has made a dramatic turnaround, increasing its enrollment and expanding its campus since the storm. Founded in 1825 by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the small liberal arts college has built a reputation as the place to go for blacks seeking medical careers.

CHICAGO (AP) — When city students arrived for the first day of school under the blazing temperatures of a Midwest heat wave, staff greeted them with some unusual school supplies: water bottles, fans and wet towels to drape around their necks. What they couldn’t always offer was air conditioning. “It’s kind of hard to focus because everyone was sweating,” said Deniyah Jones, a 12-year-old 7th-grader at Nash Elementary School on Chicago’s West Side, which has just a few window units for the entire fortress-like brick and stone building.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Times-Picayune reports the joint project with the New Orleans Public Library will house the largest cookbook collection in the South. Officials say the new SoFAB Culinary Library, located at 1609 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., will be non-circulating. “It’s fabulous. This is soon to happen. My dream is that in a year, the building is way too small, and we have so many books we can’t fit them in,” said Liz Williams, SoFAB’s president.

Two other people — an 11-year-old girl who is Gayles’ cousin and an unidentified 38-yearold man — also were wounded in the shooting. Police said their injuries weren’t considered life-threatening.

Rally to improve birth draws crowd on Labor Day Public informed of safer birth practices Chase Lindsey Staff Writer

While the 2013 Rally to Improve Birth was a worldwide event Monday, raising awareness to help prevent unnatural birthing methods hits home for many Baton Rouge residents. Terrie Thomas, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Associates in Women’s Health, said Louisiana statistics are worse than national averages in regard to unhealthy prenatal outcomes. Louisiana’s cesarean section rate is 39 percent, which is signiﬁcantly higher than the 15 percent suggested by the World Health Organization. “We have a higher pre-term birthrate. We have a higher cesarean section rate and so our goal is

to help improve those statistics,” Thomas said. Last year when the rally ﬁrst began, Baton Rouge was the only location in Louisiana to sponsor the event, but this year, the involved cities include Houma, Shreveport, and New Orleans, according to local rally coordinator Hannah Birchman. The increase in rally locations represents a growing interest to raise awareness for the issue of unnatural birthing methods, Birchman said. ImprovingBirth.org warns mothers and families of the dangers of induced labors and C-sections outside of necessary circumstances and brings light to birthing practices, rights and evidence-based maternity care that affects nine out of 10 women. Birchman said the goal is to inform mothers, families and healthcare providers about the risks of unnecessary

birth practices and encourage them to use evidence-based procedures that are backed by science and research instead. “Continual electronic monitoring increases a mother’s risk of having a Cesarean section, which is a surgical birth,” Birchman said. “After Cesarean section, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists actually recommends a vaginal birth, but most doctors often do not allow women to have a vaginal birth.” Baton Rouge residents are similarly concerned about the harms of C-sections and artiﬁcial inductions of labor. “We want evidenced-based birth care so that we can reduce the rate of C-sections and unnecessary inductions, which complicates labor for the mommy and baby,” said Jamie Collins, a Baton Rouge resident and Rally to Improve Birth volunteer. From a medical perspective, Thomas said doctors are inﬂuenced by their patients’ desires during birth. “People want to be induced, but sometimes that patient’s discomfort is at odds with what is best medically, which is to go into natural labor,” Thomas said. Thomas said her practice has made some adjustments because of evidence-based maternity care. She said four months ago the Associates in Women’s Health decided to not do elective inductions and opt for medically indicated inductions only. Since then, Thomas said,

the primary C-section rate has gone down. “It’s funny that I’m out here questioning induction because I was medically induced based off of medical necessity,” said Allison Smith, a mother and rally attendee. “There are times when artiﬁcial induction is medically

necessary versus ‘It’s an LSU football game, so I want to have my baby sooner.’

Rabalais said the executive committee demonstrates an advance in communication between security agencies and the SEC, which will lead to future changes. Rabalais hopes that policies will be in place beginning next football season, but he is most excited for the communication between law enforcement, emergency managers and the SEC. Rabalais also said that the most effective changes would come from the SEC, not the various university police departments. He also hopes that the NCAA will notice these best practices and implement them in other conferences as well.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama worked Monday to persuade skeptical lawmakers to endorse a U.S. military intervention in civil war-wracked Syria, winning conditional support from two leading Senate foreign policy hawks even as he encountered resistance from members of his own party after two days of a determined push to sell the plan. Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Obama still needs to make a strong case for attacking the regime of President Bashar Assad, but they toned down past criticism that the president’s plan was too weak to change the course of the ﬁghting in Syria in favor of the opposition.“We have to make it clear that a vote against this would be catastrophic in its consequences,” now and in future international crises, McCain told reporters outside the White House following an hour-long private meeting that he and Graham had with Obama. But the outcome of any vote remained in doubt amid continued skepticism in a war-weary Congress. Several Democrats in a conference call with administration

officials pushed back against military action, questioning both the intelligence about a chemical attack last month outside Damascus and the value of an intervention to United States interests, according to aides on the call. Others demanded narrower authorization than that requested by the administration. “The White House has put forward a proposed bill authorizing the use of force that, as drafted, is far too broad and open ended, and could be used to justify everything from a limited cruise missile strike to a no-fly zone and the introduction of American ground troops,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House intelligence committee. In a post on his website, Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan of Minnesota reflected a view shared by others: “I want you to know that I am vehemently opposed to a military strike that would clearly be an act of war against Syria, especially under such tragic yet confusing circumstances as to who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons.”

It should’ve been a night of celebration. The LSU football team defeated TCU in the Cowboys Classic by a score of 37-27. The passing game was as good as it’s looked at any point in the Les Miles era as the Tigers produced a pair of 100-yard receivers for the first time since the 2001 season — all in a nationally televised game. But Miles and the team think differently. “It was a sloppy opener at times for us,” Miles said. “Things we could do to improve certainly have made a very, very significant difference in this game.” Although the general consensus seems to be that the offense took several steps forward with the installation of Cam Cameron’s new system, the Tigers chose to focus on improving rather than celebrating Saturday night. “We didn’t click on all cylinders like we wanted to, but we’ve got to start somewhere and for us it was a great start,” said junior wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. “Like coach always says, ‘We haven’t arrived, we haven’t shown up or anything — we’re on our way there.’ Each and every day we have to keep FIRE, see page 11

No. 25 LSU falls to No. 8 BYU, 4-2 Defense surrenders four goals in loss Marcus Rodrigue Sports Contributor

The No. 25 LSU soccer team gave “Labor Day” a different meaning Monday night as it struggled to contain the offensive onslaught of No. 8 BYU in a 4-2 loss. Spurred on by four different scorers, the Cougars (3-0) tormented the Tigers (2-1-1) with 28 shots, 10 of which were on goal. “It’s certainly a step up in class with BYU, and I thought that when they pressured on our end, we unraveled a little bit,” LSU coach Brian Lee said. “When they came out and pressed us, it wasn’t as easy for our backs to get the ball into the attack.” BYU relentlessly harassed the Tigers’ back line for the first 15 minutes of the match, but LSU drew first blood in the 20th minute when sophomore midfielder Fernanda Piña scored her third goal of the season on a cross from junior midfielder Alex Arlitt. The Cougars responded in the waning seconds of the 23rd when senior midfielder Colette Jepson Smith scored on a deflected save by LSU SOCCER, see page 11

FOOTBALL

Tigers’ defensive rotations prove effective in win Youngsters were key contributors Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer

One could describe the LSU defense as lively Saturday night against TCU. Throughout the course of the game, members of the Tigers’ defensive line and defensive backfield switched between the two roles, and it proved to be effective in a 37-27 LSU victory. “They looked like an LSU defense to me,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “They flew around. Those guys … were issues for the [TCU] running and passing game.” The Tigers’ defense is littered with a mix of talented freshmen and seasoned veterans. Tigers’ defensive coordinator John Chavis devised a

game plan to incorporate all of the team’s skill sets into the defensive scheme. Though TCU had only one drive in the first quarter, LSU showed early on that it wanted the defensive rotations to play a primary factor in the squad’s success. Junior defensive end Justin Maclin, sophomore defensive end Danielle Hunter and freshman linebacker Kendell Beckwith all saw snaps on the Tigers’ first defensive drive of the season, holding the Horned Frogs to a field goal. But in the second quarter, Chavis began to turn the substitutions up a notch. Sophomore safety Micah Eugene came into the contest to play as the nickel cornerback, while the likes of Hunter and Beckwith became regular subs on the defensive line as junior starters Ego Ferguson and Anthony Johnson got early rest. During the Horned Frogs’ two

offensive possessions in the second quarter, LSU used four total substitutions, contributing to two TCU punts. The second half brought more of the same from LSU’s defensive scheme. When Ferguson needed a break in the third quarter, both sophomore defensive tackle Quentin Thomas and freshman defensive tackle Christian LaCouture saw time in the trenches. In two third quarter drives, LSU used three defensive substitutions. Hunter and Thomas both found themselves on the field in the fourth quarter, but it was the starters’ turns to make an impact and close the victory out for LSU. In total, LSU used more than 13 defensive substitutions on TCU drives that lasted four plays or more. “Obviously, you saw a lot of DEFENSE, see page 11

LACROSSE

New coach brings See and Be Seen. geaux Get Hired! offensive style LOCATION: PMAC Tommy Romanach Sports Contributor

A new LSU lacrosse coach plans to expand the recent success of the lacrosse club with his leadership style. Despite having met only a few players so far, first-year coach Jeff Echols already is making a name for himself. Senior player Jordan Ramirez said the one thing that jumps out to him is the way Echols presents himself. “We don’t need friends. We need coaches. And that’s who Echols is, that’s who he says he is,” Ramirez said. “That’s what I think is going to make the difference, him being our leader.” The Tigers reached new heights last season when they made the Lone Star Alliance conference playoffs for the second consecutive season, a first in the club’s history. After losing only two players from last season’s team, the Tigers now aim to host a LSA playoff game and winning the conference championship to advance to the national finals. Echols brings a wealth of experience not seen before in the team’s history, most recently coaching at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge. Experience became a key decision in Echols’ hiring of new assistant coach Brett Smith, a former coach at Tulane in the 1980s. “In Baton Rouge, we’re not gonna have an inventory of lacrosse experience coaches here,” Echols said. “This type of experience is definitely something that this team has never seen. It’s something we can build on.” Echols emphasized discipline as one of his strongest characteristics as a coach. He said he counts on this discipline to lead to more productive practices and a more focused mindset among players. Senior player Saban Sellerssaid practices in the past lacked initiative and was a large reason for recent season struggles. “It was upsetting last year with

some people not taking things seriously. The coaches, great guys, just weren’t very structured,” Sellers said. “Coach Echols is very organized … he’ll have a set structure to get us ready to go.” The Tigers will experience a change in style this season as Echols plans to institute a 1-4-1 offense. When executed, the offense spreads the defense out, thus allowing players on the inside to make cuts toward the goal, Echols said. Echols and players displayed optimism that the team will grasp the new offense quickly. “We ran the offense last year in practice to prepare for a team playing against us, and that was one of the best offensive practices we had,” Ramirez said. The team’s practices start on Sept. 9 for returning players and opens up to any freshmen or newcomers the next week.

ROB KITCHEN

Entertainment Writer 19, mass communication sophomore “Hostages,” CBS. Sept. 23 I am a complete sucker for the faux presidential genre — “The West Wing” is one of my alltime favorites — so naturally I’m anticipating the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Hostages.” Starring Toni Collette of “The Sixth Sense” and Dylan McDermott of “American Horror Story,” a presidential doctor whose family has been kidnapped is told to assassinate the president in order to get her family back. The show should be equal parts suspense and political drama, making for some great Monday night television.

SARAH NICKEL

Entertainment Writer 21, mass communication junior “The Goldbergs,” ABC, Sept. 24 As a “Wonder Years” fan, the idea behind “The Goldbergs” gets me pumped up, maybe even a little too much. I’m ready for a comeback of the good ol’ ’80s funny-family sitcom. It should be a refreshing break from fall dramas and reality shows that can make being an American semi-embarrassing at times.

“American Horror Story: Coven,” FX, Oct. 9 As a horror fan who has grown increasingly tired of box office scary movies, I’m eagerly awaiting the return of “American Horror Story.” Although its second season was rather lackluster, I have confidence in the upcoming installment. Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates starring together as a trinity of witches/renowned historical figures — yes, please! Plus, the majority of the show will have some familiar sights, considering it was filmed in the spooky city of New Orleans.

“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” ABC, Sept. 24 Expanding its cinematic universe, Marvel releases its ﬁrst TV show with “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in September.

“Dracula,” NBC, Oct. 25 Stoker’s vampire king has been dragged out by sci-ﬁ writers time and again, and he has risen once again in the year’s fall TV line-up in NBC’s “Dracula.” This series is going to be a short-lived hot mess. But I can’t wait to see poor, gorgeous Jonathan Rhys Meyers hiss his way through this incarnation. It promises to be the most unintentionally hilarious sci-ﬁ melodrama of the season.

“Scandal,” ABC, Oct. 3 SPOILER ALERT: Other than the “Game of Thrones” episode “The Red Wedding,” no other show had a moment as jaw-dropping as “Scandal.” It was revealed that Olivia Pope’s father is Rowan, the mysterious man involved with the black ops. It should be interesting to see how our lead “gladiator” interacts with a member of her family, especially one who has been secretly making her life extremely difﬁcult.

I’m as much a fan of the Holmes stories as I am of shaking up the norm, so it felt pretty satisfying to watch the even the saltiest critics eat their words by the end of the spectacular ﬁrst season. And now the show is upping its badass lady quota by introducing the fabulous Natalie Dormer as Irene Adler? “Elementary” has snuck its way to the top of my radar.

Network TV is out Our generation’s TV has become of touch with viewers the ultimate guilty pleasure THAT’S WHAT’S COOKIN’ Rob Kitchen Entertainment Writer Weekly television shows have been part of American tradition since the 1950s and continue to be to this day. However, the televisionwatching experience has changed along with advances in technology. While there were only a few channels in the beginning, there are now close to 1,000. Over the years, the content on television has become more varied, and the audience has grown to want something different. New ideas are a plus in today’s society, but the major networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX shy away from anything risky, putting the companies out of touch with the public. Currently, many of the most watched and anticipated shows are on cable. On AMC alone, viewers hold their breaths for each new episode of the final season of “Breaking Bad” as well as the return of “The Walking Dead.” The same cannot be said of network television. While some shows like “The Office” and “30 Rock” have had large followings, both series have ended and are being replaced with a generic family sitcom, each with its own star and slightly different spin. While NBC has a better track record with comedies, its two returning cult classics, “Parks and Recreation” and “Community,” are moving forward with uncertainty. “Parks and Recreation” is losing two of its stars, Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe, according to Entertainment Weekly. And while things are looking better for “Community” with the return of Dan Harmon , it does not have a premiere date beyond winter 2014. Other network channels seem to be following the money. CBS, for example, is rehashing old ideas into new shows because the original series were so popular. Both “CSI” and “NCIS” have spawned other series with the same idea but based in different cities. The

unwillingness to let go of big shows extends to “Two and a Half Men,” which continues to move forward after losing Charlie Sheen and Angus T. Jones. While any other show would be dead in the water, “Two and a Half Men” trudges into its 11th season. Network channels’ reluctance at new ideas shows the companies don’t want to take any risks whatsoever. While some might watch a generic family sitcom with Robin Williams or Michael J. Fox, is there any chance of it being something other than a casual weeknight filler? It would appear shows that garner large cult followings are gone. Even though those shows didn’t have massive ratings, nothing groundbreaking has replaced them. Network television is out of touch with the general public and what it wants from their shows. While networks continue to repeat the same formula and milk every last penny from dying shows, cable television is doing the opposite. Original shows are emerging and gaining a following, and channels are willing to take a new idea and give it a chance. AMC is more than willing to take risks with shows like “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men” and “The Walking Dead” and make them into successful TV shows. While these are in their later seasons — and in some cases their last — they are prime examples of shows that network channels would not take chances on. In addition to AMC, FX, Comedy Central, HBO, Starz and Showtime have all shown they are more than willing to put out shows that push the edges of what can be seen on television. Unfortunately, network TV channels don’t have what it takes to give a chance to something edgy or groundbreaking.

MY FIVE CENTS Sarah Nickel Entertainment Writer

Reality television is a love we just can’t deny. Even those who label themselves Kardashian-haters can’t resist getting a good laugh at someone else’s expense from time to time. After all, the Kardashians signed up for it and are making millions just for having their lives nationally broadcasted. Let’s flash back to the days when “Survivor” and “The Real World” were fresh ideas. The majority of America tuned in to watch what was then shocking television. Today, you can pick what you want to outrage you. Is it “Sister Wives” or “Long Island Medium” that gets you all worked up? Or maybe, nothing surprises us at all anymore — except for “My Strange Addiction” because those people are out of their minds. You’re addicted to chalk? Really? As part of the reality television generation, I consider myself both privileged and shamed. I’ve done my duty in helping a few hoarders reach their carpets, but national television probably wasn’t the ideal method. Not only have we encouraged the enormous increase in such shows, but we’ve fused ourselves onto the screen. I take pride in sharing a state with the “Duck Dynasty” fellas. As for the “Swamp People” cast, not so much. As a teenager, “Sixteen and

Pregnant” was a nightmare come true that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. Now, when MTV has its all-day mom-athons, it’s a sad sight. Luckily, I find the humor in it pretty easily. Known for its ultra-dramatic reality shows, TLC (that stands for The Learning Channel, right?) has gradually shifted from an informative channel with shows like “Medical Detectives” to “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” “America’s Worst Tattoos,” and my personal favorite, “My Teen is Pregnant and So Am I,” which explains its appeal right in the title like it’s a Lifetime original — always appreciated. I may be a fan, but I’m not proud of it. Talent is no longer required to be a celebrity. You just have to be a little outrageous. Instead of watching gifted actors and actresses, we now prefer to watch frantic stage moms

go for the ultimate grand supreme. People may complain about reality stars, but the truth is we love it. No matter how wrong you think your life is going, don’t worry, Clinton Kelly showed up at someone else’s office today to let them know how horribly they dress. You aren’t the one who flew cross-country to find out your online love was nothing like you expected. Go you! While reality television can’t always be supported morally or ethically, it gets its job done. It entertains, and on so many levels.

THRILLER

While ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars” is a guilty pleasure, “American Horror Story” offers much more suspense (and a plotline that actually makes sense). “AHS” provides integral back stories of each character while “PLL” makes many characters impossible to follow. The first season of “AHS” is wrapped up in 12 episodes, so it doesn’t drag on for years like “PLL.”

For those who like small town-centered comedy, “Parks and Recreation” is a more entertaining pick than The CW’s “Hart of Dixie,” and the constantly perky Leslie Knope is a more relatable character than Zoe Hart ever was.

If you want a dose of better lady-centric TV, look away from “2 Broke Girls” and toward Netflix original “Orange is the New Black” instead. In a world of one-dimensional female TV characters, “Orange is the New Black” delves deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is life in an all-female prison.

Web series leads charge to TV ‘Drunk History’ gains popularity Katie Daigrepont Entertainment Writer

The return of fall TV always brings with it a fresh look at the face of entertainment. In today’s world of online streaming, the transition from television to the Internet appears inevitable. Who wants to pay a cable bill when there’s more than enough entertainment available online? But while many TV networks are moving their content online, Funny or Die’s web series “Drunk History,” created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner in 2007, made the jump from the web to Comedy Central in July. The show works like this: in each episode, an intoxicated narrator recounts an event from American history, while actors and celebrity guest stars, such as executive producer Will Ferrell, act out the narrator’s story and lip sync any drunken slurs that come along with it. Each episode is ﬁlmed in a different historical city and opens with the disclaimer, “All of the stories depicted in the following program are based on real events. It should be noted, however, that

every storyteller you are about to see is completely drunk.” This unorthodox show works in a similar way to Kate Beaton’s web comic “Hark! A Vagrant.” These new forms of web-based content allow people to have fun with history by putting a spin on stories in a way history documentaries often cannot. “Drunk History” takes seemingly dull events and adds a comical twist through the narrators’ intoxication, drunken distractions and casual storytelling. The inebriated storytellers’ giggles, mispronunciations and memory loss are what make the show so funny and the stories so memorable. But how educational can a show involving alcohol poisoning, blackouts and binge drinking be? While hilarious, the history lessons from the show don’t really resemble a lecture you’d hear in the basement of Lockett. University history professor Maribel Dietz said the show proves the study of history, at its core, is the study of relatable people and their circumstances. “I see the show as a positive thing in that they are talking about history, and even with the silly reenactments,” Dietz said. “It can help to show that people in the past were real people and not simply some names in a textbook.”

Although she said she does not think professors should be drinking while lecturing, Dietz said that professors should always look for new ways to better connect with students. History senior Elizabeth Ritchey said “Drunk History” ignites curiosity in younger people and helps generate a real interest towards the subject. “History doesn’t have to be dull or dense or incredibly difﬁcult to understand,” Ritchey said, “and I think Drunk History does a great job of emphasizing that.” But while the show has less reverent storytelling than what students encounter in the classroom, Ritchey said, it can be a great resource for students having a difﬁcult time relating to the subject. “These new forms of content allow people to take history off of the dusty pedestal upon which many historians like to place it and really have fun with the subject.” With “Drunk History” catching on with history fans and casual viewers alike, it may pave the way for more web series to make the leap to television soon.

senior goalkeeper Megan Kinneman. Freshman forward Summer Clarke reclaimed the lead for the Tigers in the 32nd by maneuvering around the BYU back line and finishing with a left-footed strike that found the inside of the right post. But BYU freshman forward Ashley Hatch provided the equalizer less than two minutes later on a fairly easy run to the goal. “We got scored on twice in the next five minutes right after we scored,” Kinneman said. “I think it’s a mentality thing we need to work on.” BYU continued to apply the pressure after the break and eventually broke through the LSU defense in the 67th minute. Senior midfielder Rachel Manning banked a shot off the left post after a touch from

freshman midfielder Elena Medeiros put the ball into the penalty box. LSU gave up its fourth goal of the night on a BYU counterattack that ended with a score by sophomore defender Paige Hunt with seven minutes to go.

with our progression and get better on offense.” Beckham was pleased with his 118 yards in Arlington, but said he could’ve done more and needs to do more as the season progresses. The New Orleans native said he owes Mettenberger “two” for dropping a pair of deep balls during the game, including a 55-yard bomb that slipped through his fingertips. “No matter what it is, these are the plays we expect to make this year,” Beckham said. “We’re going to come out and get better everyday.” It didn’t even take Beckham a full game to make reparations for some of his mistakes when he returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 75 yards after uncharacteristically letting a punt bounce to the 1-yard line earlier in the quarter. “After that punt return where I let it roll to the 1-yard line, I felt like I needed to take it upon myself, and I told [wide recievers coach Adam] Henry, I said I need to make a play for this team because I felt as if I

page 11 messed up,” Beckham said. Mettenberger joined in on the harsh self-assessment as well, acknowledging the need to be more accurate and limit his mistakes during the game. The senior quarterback had one of the best performances of his LSU career Saturday, but much of his efficiency tapered off once reaching the red zone where the Tigers settled for only a field goal on three of their six appearances within the 20-yard line. Mettenberger completed only one pass in his nine attempts in the red zone against TCU, but the sole completion was a 20-yard touchdown pass to junior wide reciever Jarvis Landry late in the game. After the game, TCU coach Gary Patterson said he predicted what was about to happen prior to LSU’s lone passing touchdown — a slant route to Landry — but the Horned Frogs simply weren’t able to make the coverage. “Oh, we knew it was a slant. They beat us with the slant before I called press coverage,” Patterson said. “Everybody on our sideline

knew they were going to throw it to 80. They were going to throw the slant and we didn’t stop it. Simple as that.” Miles said the offense needs to be able to rely on the run game more in the future after the tailbacks struggled to gain traction in the red zone earlier in the night, despite running for 32 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the Big 12 conference’s best run defense. “[TCU] made some significant changes in their front and the way they played it,” Miles said. “We have to be better there. We have to be able to run the football when we’re in striking distance, at times.” Mettenberger had a response to the offense’s red zone production as well, promising improvement in the unit. “We’ll get better. I can promise that we’ll get better,” Mettenberger said.

tackles, including 1.5 tackles for a loss and 0.5 of a sack. The number of reps accumulated by the younger Tigers should continue in the next few weeks when the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Kent State travel to Baton Rouge. LSU will likely work a number of options to prepare for the squad’s first Southeastern Conference game against Auburn on Sept. 21. But for now, senior safety Craig

Loston liked what he saw from his younger teammates. “For this to be their first game, I think they did great,” Loston said. “There were a couple of mistakes and things like that, but overall I think they came in and did a good job.”

Hospital birth practices cause more harm than good GATES TO REASON Mariel Gates Columnist Yesterday was Baton Rouge’s second annual Rally To Improve Birth. The rally is put on by a worldwide organization called Improve Birth with the goal to inform women of their options surrounding their birthing experience and to advocate evidence-based maternity care. This type of maternity care is based on the idea that the care a mother receives is most beneficial for her, her baby and is specific to the individual and the situation. For those people who don’t know about modern hospital birth practices, it seems to fit the bill. It doesn’t. In a world that’s constantly growing, people strive to achieve productive change. With the hospital birth process becoming increasingly

medicalized and interventions being a common occurrence, these attempts at progress are digressing. With Louisiana having the highest cesarean section rate in the country, falling around 40 percent, it was refreshing to see women standing on the side of the busy road holding brightly colored signs stating “Improve Birth,” “Know Your Options,” and “Honk if birth matters!” There were even children holding signs saying “I came when I was ready!” The current state of the nursing and medical education system focuses on all the things that can go wrong during a delivery rather than how to simply treat a normal, low-risk vaginal birth. The missing link is that birth should be seen as an empowering and spiritual experience for women. The only way movies and TV portray birth is as a horrific, excruciating and completely unenjoyable experience. With this awful representation, few women seek out information about the process and spend their

whole lives dreading the day their first child is born. This is where Improve Birth comes in. They strongly believe women need to be educated about their own bodies in order to make the best possible decisions regarding their delivery. They also aim to hold physicians accountable for the choices they make during the delivery process to ensure they’re really in the best interest of the mother and baby. On its website is a chart illustrating what common hospital labor and delivery practices have relevant evidence to back up their usage. Amongst these are artificial acceleration of birth with Pitocin, artificial breaking of the water, the mother not being allowed to eat or drink, not allowed out of bed and not allowed to give birth in any position other than laying down. Of all of these, none of them hold evidence that shows they benefit the mother or the baby. Which begs the question — why are doctors doing this? And why is it the mainstream? The answer is simple — time,

control and money. Physicians need to start giving low-risk women alternative options that aren’t limited to a hospital. Midwives, doulas, home birth and birthing centers are all safe options that have great, if a better, results than hospital births. Women have the power to reclaim the delivery room and to transform the taboo ideas surrounding birth. It’s possible to have an enjoyable hospital birth — one needs only educate themself about their choices and ask questions. With knowledge comes power. In this case, women are able to transform a special day of your life from something painful to something beautiful. Mariel Gates is a 19-year-old mass communication sophomore from Baton Rouge.

Dining halls stifle student culinary growth ’Dam, Girl Morgan Searles Columnist In places like Louisiana where food is a religion, I sorely regret my personal shortcomings in the culinary arts. But living among international students who know how to brown beef, simmer sauces and roast vegetables has made me realize my early years at LSU didn’t give me much reason to learn. Underclassmen in residence halls are required to buy meal plans that only offer prepared food, and University convenience stores don’t have the tools or fresh ingredients to support student creativity or even competence in the kitchen. Since my first evenings on campus in The Pentagon to my latest adventures in Uilenstede 6 (my residence in Amsterdam), my dinners at home can be described as simple, childish and occasionally inedible. But I’ve never been so ashamed of my peanut butter sandwiches, scrambled eggs and boxed cereals as I have in these past weeks living in Amsterdam. Walking into the shared kitchen on any given night, I’m rewarded with the smells of freshly crushed garlic, chopped onions and sizzling olive oil. Baked potatoes, meatballs,

Though my burned grilled cheeses and soggy ramen noodles have been the subject of much selfdeprecating humor, I didn’t actually feel self-conscious of my culinary incompetence when my peers were displaying similarly mediocre results.

Italian exchange students were often the only chefs in the Kirby-Smith kitchen during my second year on campus. Is it the shared atmosphere that intimidates the University’s young, would-be cooks from utilizing kitchens in residence halls? Could it be the way that many students find solace in studying when they should be sautéing? Is it the inconvenience of toting armloads of ingredients, pans, spoons and seasonings from one place to another? While these hassles don’t help, there are other factors contributing to the disparity in the culinary culture of students living on the University

campus and the international students I live with in Amsterdam. With the required meal swipes and Paw Points in pocket, why should first- and second-year students living in University residence halls spend extra money on groceries and extra time on food preparation? The luxury of having food ready-made can lead to a lack of cooking experience and confidence after a student moves off campus. I realized this when I moved to an apartment with a kitchen I shared with one other person. I didn’t use it. I continued to “cook” and eat as I had in the two years past. I can make bacon in a toaster and cookies in a microwave, but I haven’t developed any skills. I replaced dining hall meals with restaurant food, a bad habit and an expensive alternative for a struggling college student like me who picks the mold off bread and makes instant pudding when the milk spoils. University dining halls should offer more cook-it-yourself options. While the waffle-maker and salad bar are almost a good start, let’s give students some real tools to fend for themselves and develop creativity in the kitchen. Take 5 and Outtakes should offer more fresh groceries for Paw Point spenders. We’ve all gone starry-eyed at the stacks of pizza Lunchables and the endless potato chip options, but students need better access to real food and real

This sounds like nothing until you hear that my nearest grocery store is 0.3 miles away. The walkable distance makes a difference after dark or for a lastminute ingredient.

Should free speech be allowed everywhere on campus? Yes. Free speech is a right that shouldn’t be limited. THE CHARD TRUTH

JUSTIN BLANCHARD Columnist

It sounds silly saying Free Speech Plaza limits free speech, but take a minute to ponder it. Up until recently, students at LSU had a mere alley in which they were allowed to speak freely. But after a recent lawsuit filed against the University, LSU clarified its policy, saying that students always had the right to pass out literature or voice their opinions anywhere on campus. A superb idea, I tell you. This allows LSU’s campus to become a much-needed forum where students can freely share ideas, something America lacks as a whole. So what if an irate student or some random dude, perhaps Brother Jed, is yelling as spit sprays the crowd that “You will all rot in hell, Sodomites!” and hurts your delicate feelings? Get your keister up and walk away. We share this campus and we take the risk of being told something or seeing something that could hurt our feelings as soon as we step out our doors. We attend a public university supported by state tax payers. And we have the right to freedom of speech as long as it doesn’t violate the limitations set by the Supreme Court. Neither Spectrum nor Brother Jed should be stopped from voicing their opinion whether students agree with it or not. If you need a quiet place to get away from the yelling and opinions, return to your private residence. As we all learned in that miserable 8th grade civics class, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution grants us, American citizens, the freedom of religion, press and, most importantly, speech. What we may not have learned is that the Supreme Court much like LSU, has indeed limited our freedom of speech. If you would like to say something that contains obscenity, fighting words, libel or slander, creates a clear and present danger or interferes with legitimate social or government interests dependent of the time, place and manner, you would be breaking the law. It is upsetting that our fundamental right to freedom of speech, which promotes peaceful protests, change and progression, is so intensely limited. The Supreme Court should reread the First Amendment and, like LSU, begin to reduce the limitations set on the freedom of speech. The positive possible outcomes of free speech are limitless. Thanks to free speech and a few brave students, LSU abolished women’s clothing regulations in 1969,

obligatory ROTC training and revised tuition increases in 1989 from $95 to $48. Free Speech is a great and powerful right that we cannot start to take for granted. FIRE, (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) a collective list that ranks universities that hold the First Amendment above political correctness, was topped by Southern universities. LSU did not even rank on the list and received a red rating meaning that the University clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech. Josh Bacon, director of the Ofﬁce of Judicial Affairs and Restorative Justice at James Madison University, which listed ﬁrst on FIRE said, “Freedom of speech is essential to advanced learning, research, change, and ultimately the search for truth,” in a statement to FoxNews.com. LSU needs to realize the importance of this statement and should strive to be on the top of the FIRE list. We should be thankful to obtain the right to free speech and even more thankful that we have an administration that is going to allow us to have a Free Speech Campus rather than just a plaza.

No. This creates a dangerous learning environment. THE BOX DOES NOT EXIST JANA KING Columnist

It’s 11:20 a.m. You make your way across the quad, heading into the Himes Hall testing lab for a physics exam. You were up all night studying, and you plan on heading home to take a nap as soon as you’re done. But for now, you recite Newton’s laws to yourself. An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force, an object— “ALL BABIES WANT TO GET BORNED!” There’s your external force: a member of the general public exercising his or her newfound right to free speech anywhere on LSU’s campus. That’s right kids: It’s a free speech campus. In October 2012, the Alliance Defending Freedom group ﬁled a lawsuit against LSU. The University was found guilty of prohibiting students from passing out materials outside of the 1,000-foot area of campus known as Free Speech Plaza. ADF legal counsel stated “by limiting the distribution of material and free speech to less than one percent of the campus, Louisiana State University is violating the constitutionally protected freedoms of students who should be free to express themselves on the sidewalks and open spaces at the university.”

This is the type of argument that causes me to incoherently rage into my pillow. Most people think of freedom of speech as a constitutionally given right that allows them to say whatever they want, whenever they want, at whatever volume they want, without fear of any consequence because “Ahem, First Amendment.” In the Bill of Rights, amendment one states that Congress “shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” So, how did this get applied to a student on LSU’s campus? In the time of the construction of the Constitution, James Madison proposed the Freedom of Speech Clause, which would protect the citizens of the country from their government trying to limit political speech and opinions. That’s right — they wanted to make sure the citizens had the ability to protest their government, and had their opinions heard. What they did not intend to protect was that student’s right to yell at you about a fetus that you may or may not have growing inside of you. This is, of course, open to interpretation. In fact, this amendment has been interpreted several times throughout history to not cover certain types of speech. This includes defamation, threatening statements, obscenity and profanity. I feel like the Founding Fathers would side with me if I were to tell them about my experience last fall, when a member of the Baton Rouge community came on campus and began harassing me and a friend for being feminists. She went so far as to angrily shake a ﬁnger at us and call us “baby murderers.” While my friend knew that I had never murdered a baby in my life, the other 29,999 members of LSU’s community that could have heard that slander did not, and that’s defamation. Gerald Ducote, a communication disorders sophomore, said, “Free Speech Alley was deﬁned to an alley in my mind, because it was a sacred place for free speech.” He had several opinions on the matter, and I must say I agree. “People are assholes about opinions, no matter how much they don’t want to be. With a school of 30,000 people, all able to speak openly about their opinions anywhere on campus, things could get ugly,” he said. Well, uglier.

page 15 BROUSSARD, from page 1 and the gang’s mystery solving may have inspired that. His childhood room was “Scooby-Doo” themed. Drago would buy him something to add to his collection for each holiday and birthday. The two of them would imitate the characters together, trying to get their voices just right. Many friends joked about Broussard’s scrawniness, but Drago said he gave the best hugs. He’d charm her all the time, telling her how lovely she was. “I’d say, ‘Christopher, you keep talking like that, you’re gonna have a hundred girlfriends,’” she laughed. Light streamed into the stained glass rectangular windows of the church as four of Broussard’s pallbearers spoke to the congregation before the burial Mass began. They remembered him as a shy person with a great sense of humor. Broussard could spot a photo being taken from hundreds of feet

to allow for a full sport schedule. More parking is a much-needed addition to the UREC, Braden said. Phase II follows the opening of the new Challenge Course across from the UREC, which is the first completed segment in the redesign and expansion plans. Although Phase II is beginning, Phase I is still underway to renovate the UREC’s multi-purpose fields at River Road. These fields will host eight multi-purpose fields and four softball fields built with a wagon wheel configuration when the project is complete.

away, said his friend Brennan Stutes. He would always make it just in time to jump into it, ready to claim his title as “master of the photobomb.” Many of Broussard’s Theta Chi fraternity brothers wore red to represent their brotherhood, and some even wore red carnations, the fraternity’s official flower. Broussard had been planning to go to Arlington, Texas with his fraternity brothers to watch the LSUTCU football game this past weekend. His friends said he loved LSU sports and always rooted for the Tigers. Even at his funeral, there was a nod to his loyalty. The spray of flowers on his casket was purple and yellow. Conrad summed up their relationship simply with his final words to his friend. “I love you, buddy,” he said. Contact Andrea Gallo at agallo@lsureveille.com Phase III, the final phase of the project, will include more additions to the UREC like a 38-foot climbing wall, an outdoor pool area including an LSU logo-shaped lazy river, an eight lane lap pool and five multipurpose courts. This phase will also expand the weight room space by 13,000 square feet, making it a total of 40,000 square feet. The anticipated completion date for the project is set for the summer of 2016.
