Visually impaired student Justin Champagne says college life without full sight is ‘nothing different’

BY KACI CAZENAVE @kacicaz Choosing a major and passing midterms are among some students’ greatest worries throughout college. But for physics sophomore Justin Champagne, there’s an added challenge to pulling all-nighters and daily decision-making: retinitis pigmentosa.

According to the National Eye Institute, retinitis pigmentosa is a rare visual impairment produced by a group of inherited disorders that cause a person’s retinal cells to break down and dissipate. Medical Encyclopedia: MedlinePlus says the disorder affects one in 4,000 people in the United States.

Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood extended Judge’s ruling comes amid funding battle

BY SAM KARLIN @samkarlin_TDR Planned Parenthood in Louisiana must continue to be funded by Medicaid dollars for the next 14 days, a U.S. District Judge ruled Sunday in a lawsuit against Gov. Bobby Jindal’s attempt to halt federal funding for the organization.

The suit followed the release of edited videos by the Center for Medical Progress in July, which purported Planned Parenthood profited illegally from selling fetal tissue samples.

U.S. District Judge John deGravelles made the ruling after hearings in September and October, and a new hearing date will be set during a conference

Hill Memorial displays history of LSU Press, Southern Review

BY CARRIE GRACE HENDERSON @carriegraceh

TODAY!

Eighty years of LSU history is out for display in Hill Memorial Library in a new exhibition, “Advancing Scholarship and Learning for 80 Years: LSU Press and The Southern Review.”

The exhibit details the storied history of the publishing company and literary journal and their long connection to LSU and the LSU Libraries Special Collections.

The two institutions were founded in 1935, and LSU Libraries has archived objects

representing all eight decades.

Some are simple, like original cover art and early editions of The Southern Review, but others — like correspondence between writers and editors — give a behind-the-scenes look at publication.

“It gives everybody a good idea of the day-to-day look at the everyday workings of those different institutions,” said exhibitions coordinator Leah Wood Jewett. “But also it’s giving more insight into the individuals involved.”

One case houses the original diary of Kate Stone, which details a firsthand

account of what life was like for young women during the Civil War. In another case are the letters between Stone’s daughter, Amy Holmes, and John Q. Anderson, who edited the diary in the 1955 into the classic “Brokenburn: The Journal of Kate Stone 1861 – 1868.” The QR code next to the display takes visitors to the e-book version of the journal.

“Our exhibit emphasizes the fact that both the LSU Press and The Southern Review are active, thriving institutions,”

The ‘Advancing Scholarship and Learning for 80 Years: LSU Press and The Southern Review’ exhibit is open to the public Oct. 19 through Jan. 30 at Hill Memorial Library.

LSU goalkeeper Rubiano earns SEC weekly defensive honors LSU’s senior goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano was named Southeaster n Conference CoDefensive Player of the Week after earning her fifth clean sheet of the year against the University RUBIANO of Arkansas on Thursday, the league office announced Monday.

Rubiano saved six shots to lead the Tigers (9-4-3, 3-4-1 Southeastern Conference) to a

1-0 win over the Razorbacks. Her performance catapulted LSU back into qualifying position for the SEC Tournament.

The New Orleans native saw limited action last season but earned a starting role during this offseason. She is tied for 17th in the nation with 61 saves to go along with a 76 percent save rate.

Her six saves against Arkansas were the third most saves she had in a game this season.

Rubiano’s 12 saves against No. 12 University of Florida were good enough for a career high.

Neal, Alexander named SEC Players of the Week after 35-28 Florida win After LSU’s thrilling, 35-28 win against Florida on Saturday evening, two Tiger performances stood out among the rest of the Southeastern Conference at their respective positions.

On Monday morning, the league announced junior defensive end Lewis Neal was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week and senior offensive tackle Vadal Alexander was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Neal notched career highs against the Gators with three

sacks, 3.5 tackles for losses and 10 total tackles. With his three sacks, the second most in school history, Neal now ranks second in the conference in sacks, only trailing Texas A&M sophomore defensive end Myles Garrett.

Garrett won SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week.

Alexander recorded 13 knockdowns without allowing a sack and helped open up the Tiger rushing attack that accumulated 221 yards, including sophomore tailback Leonard Fournette’s 180-yard effort.

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 HILL MEMORIAL, from page 1 Jewett said. “We’re not just looking back, we’re reminding people there’s still scholarship and creative output they are putting out there for us.”

The exhibit accentuates the connection between Special Collections and authors publishing through LSU Press.

The second floor focuses on LSU Press and the variety of topics its books cover, including the history of LSU, art, anthropology, music and poetry.

Many of the authors used primary sources from Hill Memorial to complete their works, Jewett said.

“We have books wherein the scholars came to Hill Memorial Library and used our collections that are not available anywhere else,” Jewett said.

“We’ve got some examples of the letters and diaries that they consulted.”

Jewett said the exhibitions

in Hill typically come from items already housed in Special Collections. The trick is giving the pieces context to engage students or community members or spark new ideas.

“We don’t want to be the final word on a topic — we’re trying to give a sample,” Jewett said. “Maybe it will inspire artwork or work in history or politics. People come in and see what we have, and we see what they can come up with.”

LSU Press Director MaryKatherine Callaway said it was exciting to see the history of the two organizations on display.

Callaway stressed the importance of scholarly communication and archiving material for future writers and readers.

“We’re constantly building on a lot of the research that has been done before,” Callaway said. “Books that we’re publishing now reference books that were published 30 or 40 years ago.”

CONSTRUCTION

Students frustrated by Greek and UREC parking, dust in lots

BY KEVIN MINER @KevinMiner_TDR LSU students are irritated with what seems to be a lack of available space in the UREC and Greek parking lots — not to mention looming brown clouds brought on by UREC construction.

Director of University Recreation Laurie Braden said dust in the area is a by-product of the limestone used to cover up potholes in the roads.

She said it is not harmful to vehicles.

“It will be [present] throughout construction.”

Braden said. “We do have the roads

and the parking lot to be addressed at the end of the project.”

The UREC added 363 additional parking spaces in phase II of construction, completed in August 2014, but the new spaces designated for UREC attendees are also being used by Greek students with UREC permission, Braden said. She said the parking areas in the front and the back of the UREC that are blocked off will open at the end of the project.

Because both UREC attendees and Greek students use the parking lot, it seems often seems crowded

Braden said.

Braden said addressing parking in the middle of construction is ideal but it causes problems in the construction process due to heavy traffic.

Textiles, apparel and merchandising junior Mattison Conditt, a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, parks in the Greek parking lot, zone two, weekly.

She said as a result of the construction she can’t keep her car clean and can not park as close to the sorority house as she would like to.

“The spots are already so limited and so hard to get to,” Conditt said. “I have to usually walk even further than I used

to, which is like half a mile, I kid you not.”

Conditt said the parking lot is a disaster and she worries her car may be damaged if she parks too close to the work site.

Braden said she hopes students remember the dust and lack of parking spots are temporary conditions of construction and the situation will get better.

Kinesiology junior and Facility Supervisor at the UREC Taylor Hill said UREC employees also experience the negative effects UREC construction has on parking.

“I got a car wash a couple

weeks ago and the very next day it was completely covered in dust,” Hill said, “It was kind of frustrating.”

However, Hill said a fleetingly dirty car is a sacrifice she is willing to make while the UREC project comes to fruition. She said she is most excited for the implementation of the new multi-functional courts.

“I park there everyday as well,” Braden said, “but the temporary nature of the dust in my experience outweighs the potholes.”

UREC construction is projected to be complete in the spring of 2016.

CHAMPAGNE, from page 1 Champagne said he was born with impaired vision, although he was not diagnosed with RP until he was about 5 or 6 years old after realizing his inability to see in a movie theater — even in lighted areas.

The diagnosis had little effect on his decision to attend LSU because he has tunnel vision. Champagne defined tunnel vision as a lack of peripheral vision.

“Other than the accommodations I get from Disability Services, there’s really nothing different,” Champagne said. “I don’t know if that’s because I have still vision or what, but I’m able to do most things that other people can do.”

Champagne’s daily challenges involve difficulty reading small print, such as on instruments in his physics lab. He also has trouble climbing stairs, which is why he navigates through campus using a cane.

These are small adjustments he’s adopted between his high school years at False River Academy in New Roads and now.

“There’s some stuff I can’t do, but there’s never a time when I’m not doing something — whether it’s whatever everyone else is doing, or some alternative,” Champagne said.

Champagne credits his professors, lab partner and LSU’s Disability Services for making his transition to college easier.

Some of Champagne’s accommodations include extended time on exams through Disability Services, student note takers and access to magnifying technology — such as a closed circuit television — that make his tests and handouts more readable.

“The most challenging part is how other people see me,” Champagne said. “I get this feeling when I’m walking, and people

Aymami said she has a passion for working with the blind and visually impaired because both of her parents are deaf, and her father is visually impaired.

She said there is a need for education about these disorders because so many students report them to Disability Services without knowing how to manage or live with the conditions.

“What they know is that they can’t see. They know nothing about all of the resources that are out there for them to use,” Aymami said, which is why teaching and serving disabled students is her primary goal.

Although Disability Services is not designed to service visually-impaired faculty members,

Aymami said the department shares resources with a blind LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center employee and a Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College worker.

Aymami said these resources include a braille machine and networking opportunities with Louisiana Rehabilitation Services representatives, whose jobs are to help employ people with disabilities.

“Our students with visual impairments or hearing loss, in my opinion, work harder than any other — they’re so dedicated,” Aymami said. “It’s just when they leave here, they are worried they won’t get a job, and they focus on what they can’t do rather than what they can.

So why not give them that opportunity? I know plenty of deaf doctors.”

They’ll hold the door and say, ‘I got it,’ and I thank them because they’re doing good things, but that’s the most difficult thing — just dealing with those feelings.”

Assistant Director of Accommodation, Advocacy and Guidance at Disability Services Natasha Aymami said Champagne — who she met in spring of 2014 — is not the only visually impaired student at LSU. Currently, Disability Services accommodates two blind dog guide travelers and many others who suffer from low vision.

Aymami, a nationally certified orientation and mobility instructor and a former sign language interpreter at LSU, also counsels students with hearing loss.

The LSU Student Senate passed an executive order to create a commission to represent students at the Louisiana State Legislature.

“The Student Advocacy Commission is going to be our permanent effort at the State Capitol to increase student presence,” Mahtook said. “This year we saw how much students at the capitol can do. We want to make sure that doesn’t fall by the wayside.

We wanted a set group every year that would be able to really enforce the student opinion.”

Myles Sonnier, the SG State Capitol adviser, said the commission is open to all students, not only SG members. There will be an application and interview process to sit on the commission.

The state’s two Planned Parenthood facilities in Baton Rouge and New Orleans do not perform abortions but serve around 5,200 patients, according to the judge’s order.

The order protects access to birth control, cancer screenings and other preventative health care while the case against Planned Parenthood continues, according to a Planned Parenthood news release.

The release claimed deGravelles’ order as a victory for the recipients of women’s health care through Medicaid.

“This case was never about Planned Parenthood — it’s about the women who rely on us for basic care every day,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in the release. “The anti-abortion extremists and politicians behind these attacks are pushing a dangerous agenda far outside the mainstream.

impaired in the state, Aymami said Louisiana is not progressive enough in its use of resources and education. LSU also needs a stronger method to integrate the visually impaired into university culture, she said.

“Sign language isn’t offered [at LSU] as a foreign language, like it is at many other renowned universities, and that sets up a barrier almost for students,” Aymami said. “I would like to see something like that happen for [LSU].”

However, Champagne said one part is still missing for students like himself — the lack of lighting, especially at night.

“I don’t know how other people with full vision can see at night, but I couldn’t even go out before having this,” Champagne said, referencing his cane. “At least I can make it to LSU games, though.” deGravelles was appointed by President Barack Obama, who is “100 percent in support of Planned Parenthood.”

Gonzales said Louisiana is attempting to stop Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood not because of the controversial videos but because of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Medicaid fraud in Texas.

“Of course the videos that were released were indeed horrible to watch, and it brought a lot of attention to the organization,” he said. “But on top of everything else, Medicaid fraud is the big issue, and Jindal himself came out after talking about the videos, that the reason why he was doing this was because of the Medicaid fraud.”

Louisiana boasts around 200 federally-funded women’s health care centers, Gonzales added, and Planned Parenthood stands in the way of those facilities receiving federal dollars.

He said declining Medicaid payments to the Louisiana Planned Parenthood centers would not “kill women’s health,” as not all patients receive Medicaid. DeGravelles’ order stated 75 percent of visits to the Baton Rouge center were by patients enrolled in Medicaid.

Junior middle blocker Tiara Gibson rediscovers love for volleyball after transfer

BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR Junior middle blocker Tiara Gibson didn’t miss a set in her two seasons at South Dakota State University, but she didn’t find happiness until she put on a Tiger uniform this spring.

SDSU was the clear choice for the Clear Lake, South Dakota, native coming out of high school.

Growing up on a farm, Gibson said she was scared of change and wanted to stay close to home when the recruiting process came to an end.

“I wasn’t a stand-out player in high school,” Gibson said. “I knew how good I could be, but I never had the chance to really show it, so I settled for mid-major Division I schools.”

She declined walk-on offers to be a priority, but her choice came with a cost.

South Dakota’s under-established volleyball circuit reflected SDSU’s record in Gibson’s two seasons. As a freshman, she led the team to an unsatisfying 5-22 record. The team’s record the following season was 6-27, which pulled the transferring-trigger during her sophomore year.

“It was really sad because I saw something I had dreamt of crumbling down on me,” Gibson said. “I have always been a South Dakota State fan, and I just thought we were going [to] kill it, be the team in the Dakotas and that one mid-major team big schools had to watch out for. That’s what I was told in high school, and when that

Senior Alex Linge sets lofty goals

LSU junior middle blocker Tiara Gibson (9) stands by the net during the Tigers’ 3-2 defeat against The University of Alabama on Sunday in the PMAC.

For LSU senior swimmer Alex Linge, last season ended on a disappointing note, but he’s preparing to make sure he isn’t disappointed after the end of this season.

“I feel like as a team, as a whole, we can do a lot better at [the Southeastern Conference Championships] and [NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships],” Linge said. “At NCAAs last year, we didn’t even score a point, which was really disappointing. We went in there wanting to compete and we didn’t step up and compete. For SECs, I feel like we started off really good, but didn’t go the whole way. I won’t let that happen this year.”

To ensure this season doesn’t end like the last one, Linge stepped up as a leader in hopes of bringing a national title to LSU. Junior swimmer Devin McCaffrey said Linge is a good teammate and he knows how to motivate the people around him.

“He’s been stepping up as a leader, he’s a captain this year and his work ethic has always been great,” McCaffrey said. “We call him ‘The Hammer’ because he always drops the hammer.

He’s stepping up and doing great things like he always does. What I see this year that’s different is he’s taking care of himself a lot

FOOTBALL

LSU not overlooking potent Western Kentucky team

BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR

One of the best offenses the No. 5 LSU football team will face this season calls Bowling Green home.

Bowling Green, Kentucky, is not one of the other 13 towns in the Southeastern Conference nor school in a Power Five conference.

Rather, the Tigers (6-0, 4-0 SEC) will be pitted against Western Kentucky University this Saturday, an opponent claiming the ninth-ranked total offense in the Football Bowl Subdivision and the second-best passer in the country.

The only other quarterback ahead of Hilltopper graduate student signal caller Brandon

Doughty is Bowling Green State University senior Matt Johnson — the other Bowling Green in Ohio.

Regardless of the league, the Hilltoppers (6-1, 4-0 Conference USA) play in or their national exposure, something is clear amongst LSU coach Les Miles and his players: Western Kentucky is no joke.

And it’s not just the “take every team seriously” coach speak often heard.

“I voted for them to be in the top 25, if anybody asks,” Miles said.

Certainly, defeating a top-25 team would boost the Tigers’ résumé at the end of the season. But the Hilltoppers’ offensive production alone has LSU’s attention, despite a bye

week looming before the Nov. 7 road trip to No. 8 University of Alabama.

Along with Western Kentucky’s sixth-ranked scoring offense, it also ranks No. 3 in turnover margin nationally. The Hilltoppers are +13 in the takeaway-giveaway category, which partially can credit the offense’s highest completion percentage in the nation.

Sophomore running back Leonard Fournette admitted the Tigers took the last nonconference opponent, Eastern Michigan University, for granted, so the attention to detail will be much different this week. Miles, though, said the lack of focus against the Eagles was in response to his team’s

perception of Eastern Michigan, something that won’t be the case against Western Kentucky — on both sides of the ball.

“Eastern Michigan was not 6-1 coming into the contest, did not have one of the nation’s No. 1 quarterbacks and [were] not a complete team,” Miles said.

“This is a complete team. This team will stop you on defense, will move the football and score on offense and will play very dangerous special teams. So we recognize it, and it’ll be easy for them to see.

“One thing about it, when you looked at Florida’s defense, you said, man, that defense can play. They will find and make like observations with this

Andrew Whitworth is the best LSU player in NFL INTO THE WOODS JACK WOODS Sports Columnist There are plenty of former LSU standouts wowing NFL fans across the country.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has enough spectacular one-handed catches to develop a highlight reel.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is always a threat to return a punt or kick, and at any moment, he’s capable of jumping a route and returning it all the way for a pick six. Jeremy Hill is off to a slow start this season, but the Cincinnati Bengals running back found the end zone so frequently in his rookie season that I always check Twitter on Sunday to see what touchdown dance he performed in celebration.

Those three guys are

1. Patrick Peterson 8. Ricky Jean Francois

accomplished NFL players, as are many other ex-Tigers. They make the headlines and the highlights.

But I think Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth is the best former LSU player who played under Les Miles on an active NFL roster.

Jack, are you out of your mind?

Have you ever seen Beckham haul in a long ball with a couple fingers while being dragged to the ground by a helpless defensive back? Have you seen Peterson approach Mach-5 speeds while he races to the endzone on a return?

Yes, I have. I’m aware of what Beckham, Peterson, Hill and a host of other former LSU stars accomplished in the NFL. Beckham’s 1,305 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 12 games are more than most receivers accomplish in a full year. Those are truly outlandish numbers, especially from a rookie.

Peterson is always a threat to break a game open, and Hill is

always one stiff arm away from hitting the whip in the end zone to celebrate his latest touchdown. I’m still convinced Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry’s hands are made of glue.

I could go on-and-on because the list of former LSU players in the NFL is a long one. You could make an argument for the guys listed above, for sure. I won’t fight you. There are several former LSU standouts with strong cases.

However, I’m convinced Whitworth is the right choice.

It’s hard to stand out as an offensive lineman. Often times, when linemen stand out, it’s not a good thing.

But Whitworth goes about his business quietly and almost always seems to do his job perfectly. He’s responsible for protecting Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton’s blindside, a job he’s done well for several years.

Dalton reaped the benefits. This

season, his production is so high, you could argue he’s the NFL’s best quarterback. He owes a lot of that success to his offensive line, particularly Whitworth.

Since 2009, Whitworth has only missed two starts. He’s played out of position because of injuries on the Bengals offensive line, and he’s excelled. You can’t say enough about an ever-present, versatile star.

Going into this season, Whitworth was highly rated by nearly everyone. Writers for Athlon Sports, Scout.com and Grantland had him as one of the highest ranked players at his position. Even Madden had him as the fifth-highest rated offensive lineman in the game.

Bengals value Whitworth and his leadership because as an almost 34-year-old, they just extended his contract through 2016.

Cincinnati did this after selecting two highly-rated tackles in the 2015 NFL draft, showing that Whitworth will not be easily replaced.

Whitworth’s high level of play, leadership and consistency over a 10-year career lead me to believe he’s the best former Tiger in the NFL.

Les Miles says Dillon Gordon expected to miss rest of season

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR The LSU football team completed half of its games in this season, and LSU coach Les Miles had a lot to say about his team on Monday.

In his weekly, “Lunch with Les” news conference luncheon presented by Subway, Miles said senior tight end Dillon Gordon is expected to miss the rest of the season due to re-injuring his achilles on his left ankle.

“Dillon Gordon looks like he’ll be out,” Miles said. “I hate to say for the rest of the season, but I can’t imagine him returning at this point.”

WESTERN KENTUCKY No. 5 LSU faces Western Kentucky University at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. Unlike

the performance against Eastern Michigan University, Miles said the Tigers (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) are not overlooking the rising Hilltoppers (6-1, 4-0 Conference USA).

“This is a complete team,” Miles said. “This team will stop you on defense, move the ball and score on offense and play special teams very dangerous.”

Western Kentucky, a spreadoffense heavy passing team, is led by the second-ranked quarterback in the Football Bowl Subdivision senior Brandon Doughty.

Doughty is second in the nation in passing yards at 2,709 on 197 completions through seven games this season. He’s thrown for 24 touchdowns and four interceptions on his 266 passing attempts.

“Their quarterback, Brandon Doughty, every bit an SEC

quarterback, big, talented, strong, smart quarterback,” Miles said.

“Big arm. Has already thrown for 2,700 yards and 24 touchdowns.

He’ll get your attention.”

The Hilltoppers are coming off of a 55-28 win against University of North Texas. Doughty completed 26-of-37 passes for 350 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.

Western Kentucky’s aggressive passing game worries Miles, because LSU’s secondary is one struggle for the Tigers’ defense thus far.

“I think Jalen Mills being back will help,” Miles said. “We had some breakdowns in secondary coverage and didn’t make some really simple adjustments. So that being said, there’s a lot of work to be done.”

PROTECTING FOURNETTE Miles sent SEC

officials

video of then-No. 8 Florida Gators defensive lineman slamming sophomore running back into the grass after plays had finished.

“I want to protect my players, and that’s kind of one of the things that we sent in,” Miles said. “You know, the driving back and fall on them, I think there’s a point in time where that’s called a personal foul.”

“The whistle needs to be blown and then when the whistle is blown. The defense is allowed to let go of them as opposed to continue to drive them 10 yards and throw them on the ground.

Those kind of things need not to happen.”

Miles wants to protect his star sophomore, who leads the nation in rushing yards at 1,202, rushing yards per game, 200.3, and rushing touchdowns, 14.

“A lot of his yards were after contact,” Miles said. “I thought the offensive line did a really good job and were tested. That Florida defensive line I thought was very good.”

INJURIES Gordon is not expected to return to action this season, Miles said. He was also uncertain on the return of Leonard Fournette’s “flashlight” sophomore fullback JD Moore.

Moore, who went down with a knee injury in the first quarter of the University of South Carolina game, hasn’t stepped onto the field since his injury.

“I don’t know,” Miles said about when Moore may return from injury. “I don’t know exactly there. I know that he’s getting better. I don’t know exactly to what extent, when he could possibly return.”

SOCCER

Tigers find late season success despite key player injuries

BY C.J. RUCKER @Ruckmatic

For most collegiate soccer teams, playing without key players can negatively affect the gameplan and season’s outcome, but the LSU soccer team is battling adversity to earn vital victories this season.

LSU coach Brian Lee said his team’s success without some of its starters is the direct result of his team’s preparation.

“It’s a team effort,” Lee said. “I think it’s indicative of the united effort of the group. Everybody’s on board by preparing themselves to be ready every game. All of the players are supporting each other really well on and off the field.”

LSU (9-4-3, 3-4-1 Southeastern Conference) is undefeated this season when playing without one of its starters. The Tigers proved capable of winning games without key players when they netted a goal minutes after sophomore striker Jorian Baucom left the game with an ankle injury against Marquette University on Sept. 20.

Before the game against the Golden Eagles, Baucom led the team and the SEC with eight goals. Her play up top made the

Tigers one of the most offensively dynamic teams in the country.

Baucom said seeing her team find success on offense without her on the field showed what the Tigers team was capable of achieving.

“It just comes down to heart,” Baucom said. “Being able to see them play with a player down for at least ten minutes was incredible, especially because they were able to hold off Marquette on defense.”

Junior forward Summer Clarke also suffered an ankle injury when the Tigers lost to the University of Florida on Oct. 11. LSU found a way to defeat the University of Arkansas 1-0 in the following match without Clarke.

Clarke and Baucom are one of the premier forward duos in the SEC, but Baucom still managed to lead the team to victory without her offensive counterpart, scoring a goal in the 17th minute against the Razorbacks.

Lee said playing without Clarke or Baucom made his team focus on attacking as a team rather than individually.

“I think at times with Jorian and Summer we’ve been as dynamic as anybody in the country,” Lee said. “Whenever we missed

one, we really had good quality across the board with team oriented attacks.”

On Sept. 13, the Tigers earned another victory against then-No.15 Duke University without one of their top defensive players, senior defender Alex Arlitt, who was suspended after receiving a red card in the previous game.

LSU rallied together to make up for what Baucom, Clarke and Arlitt bring to a team that’s

looking to wrap up SEC play on a positive note before heading into the postseason.

Playing without the team’s leading goal scorers and defensive leader forced his team to become more defensive-oriented as well, Lee said.

“I think it was really key to be able to win without Arlitt and have to flip the switch to win without Jorian or Summer on a couple occasions,” Lee said. “That

specifically has helped us become a better defensive team. We really focused on that side of the game.”

Clarke is still battling the ankle injury she suffered against the Gators, but Lee said he hopes to have her back to make his team more well-rounded late in the season.

“We’re anxiously awaiting Summer getting back so we can be firing on all cylinders going forward,” Lee said.

Hoping for a change in momentum and a chance to break through, Gibson waited to transfer until after the fall semester of her sophomore year. She said she wanted to leave knowing she did everything she could for the program, coaches and players, so there would never be a “what if” to look back on. In the middle of her sophomore year, she knew it was time to move on.

“There would be times where I would not want to go back in the game,” Gibson said. “I would rotate out and feel so hopeless about the situation that I don’t want to go back in. I’ve never had that feeling before, and it scared me.

Volleyball is what I love, and I didn’t want to do it anymore. I was ready to become a normal student because I was just so done with it.”

The team was anything but shocked when Gibson’s name hit the rumor mill. Her .205 hitting percentage, 96 blocks and teamleading 236 kills her sophomore season received the attention of many Division I schools. In the end, it came down to LSU and the University of California, Long Beach.

Knowing she gave up the dream of being a top athlete and going big while staying in-state, she flew into New Orleans for her official visit.

LSU coach Fran Flory said the team was looking for athletic middle blockers with an opportunity to grow, and Gibson fit.

“The fact that Fran and [assistant coach] Jill [Lytle Wilson] both

LINGE, from page 5 more. He’s doing everything he can to perform at the best of his abilities.”

The SEC Championships did hold high points for Linge, who helped break two school records during the event. He was an integral part of the relay teams that broke the LSU record for the 800yard freestyle relay and the 400yard medley relay.

Linge said he wants to set more school records in his final year at LSU, which motivated him to train harder during the offseason.

“I think we stepped up with weights and power stuff this year,” Linge said. “It takes time to get adjusted to that, but I feel like I’m evolving and getting better.”

The training seems to have paid off for Linge, who recently won the 100-and 200-yard freestyle races at the Purple and Gold Intrasquad meet.

Linge said he sees improvement in where he’s at now compared to his performance in last year’s intrasquad meet.

“I’m way more motivated after what I saw from my results of the intrasquad, because last year I was almost a second slower on the 100 free, for example,” Linge said.

“I think that’s because I swam a lot during the summer; I didn’t take a break at all. I actually think it’s going to go way better this season. I’m excited.”

Along with training, Linge credits his experience in international swimming for helping him throughout his career.

Linge, a native of Sweden,

came an hour away to pick me up from the airport at 3 a.m. said a lot about how interested they were in me,” Gibson said. “I had so much fun, the campus was beautiful and the program is quite storied.

Everybody had nothing but good things to say about the coaches and players here.”

By that time, she knew the ins and outs of recruiting. To see the players’ true personality, she played a round of deep court with senior outside hitter Cati Leak, freshman middle blocker Toni Rodriguez and former senior defensive specialist Laura Whalen.

“I didn’t feel happy at SDSU, so that was everything I ultimately wanted to be,” Gibson said. “I didn’t care if I played. I just wanted to be happy and have some good friends. Volleyball is supposed to be a sisterhood and a family, and I just genuinely felt that here.”

She committed to LSU on Aug. 7, a week before school started.

Thrown into spring practice, sand volleyball and difficult classes, the farm girl didn’t have time to feel homesick, she said. She quickly adapted to the southern accents and culture and kept growing.

Gibson said she was pleased with everything in her new environment from the first day. She would come to the weight room in the morning, excited and ready to go just because of the opportunity that was lying in her hands.

She said she didn’t want to waste a single second.

“I told my parents, I am willing to never step on the floor again in order to be a part of a winning team and be happy,” she said. “I swam in the European Championships before coming to LSU and competed in the Swedish Junior Championships, where he earned gold medals in the 100yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly, and the Swedish Senior Championships.

“International meets give me a lot of different experience to handle different situations I normally wouldn’t be use to,” Linge said. “So of course it was different to me my freshman year, but I’ve still been to big meets, I was well prepared for that. Being an international swimmer gave me experience to swim here.”

As he prepares for his final season, Linge said he wants to make it back to the SEC Championships and NCAA Championships and improve on last year’s results.

In fact, he’s already set goals for both championships, personal goals swimming coach Dave Geyer said are important to keep on the path to the NCAA Championships.

“I want to medal at SECs, get top three or four in the 100 free and 100[-yard] fly,” Linge said.

“For 100[-yard] fly, I want to be top eight at NCAAs.” Last season, he was just one turn away from reaching that goal.

Geyer said Linge’s performances early this season are indicators he is in the right place to reach his goals this time around.

“Last year, Alex did everything we asked him to do training-wise,” Geyer said. “When it came down to the racing aspect,

was so unhappy being the star of a team that wasn’t winning that I had to realize what my priorities are. People say winning isn’t everything, but it’s got to be something.”

As a Tiger, Gibson grew used to playing in key situations after rarely receiving a breather at SDSU. “[Tiara] is a strong, physical force on the court,” said senior middle blocker Emily Ehrle. “She has really stepped up with coming in the middle of games and being effective. To have somebody come off the bench and be as effective as she has been is crucial for a team.

She has definitely been a very positive addition and is a great person on the court and an even better person off the court.”

The team’s tough start of the season worried Gibson. Coming from a team with constant losing records, she questioned if LSU was the right choice after all, but the Arkansas game was the turning point of the shaken

up expectations.

“Playing Arkansas and almost beating them in five with a great crowd made it my favorite game so far,” Gibson said. “Tensions were high. Their coach was yelling at their girls. Fran was trying to calm us down. The refs were making calls that were whatever they wanted, and the crowd was getting into it. I love the rivalries.”

Her braided hair shaped Gibson’s season at LSU and became her main pre-game ritual. She said if her hair looks strong, she feels strong, but the team’s pregame dance party remains her favorite.

“The dance party is another reason I knew LSU was my place because at my old school, I was the DJ. I was the one trying to get the dance party going, but no one was really on the same page with me,” Gibson said. “When I came here, saw the videos of the dance party, I was like, ‘That is exactly what I’ve been trying to do.’ We’ve been hitting the Quan a lot lately.”

Western Kentucky team.”

Coming back down to earth after an emotional win against the Gators isn’t lost on LSU players, especially two of the heroes of the Saturday’s game, junior kicker Trent Domingue and senior holder Brad Kragthorpe.

While Kragthorpe and Domingue’s fake field goal resulted in the go-ahead touchdown, keeping the Tigers undefeated, the team is ready. Kragthorpe saw Doughty enough times to know LSU needs to be ready.

“I’ve watched him for a couple of years,” Kragthorpe said.

“He’s good. Obviously, playing quarterback, you like to watch other quarterbacks around the country. … In my mind, he’s got to be one of the top quarterbacks in the country right now.”

Staying alert during the practice week for Doughty and the mid-major foe isn’t something difficult for the Tigers, said junior tight end Colin Jeter.

“We do a great job of approaching every team the same each week,” Jeter said. “That’s where our focus is going to be again. Obviously, we have a lot room to improve — in all three aspects. We’re going to continue to focus on that and focus on what Western Kentucky does and how we can gameplan against them.”

he was just a small little detail short of doing what we needed to do to make NCAAs. That’s swimming and racing, you need to have

that perfect race to qualify for NCAAs. He started off this year at the level he finished off last year, so there’s no building into

the season because he’s been on a high level every day with everything that we’ve asked him to do.

He’s there.”

THE FALL

UNIFORM

BY BRITTANY HAGOORT

| @Brittanyhagoort

With the weather cooling down, students are pulling out their “uniforms” for the fall season. Here’s your cheat sheet to the classic styles you’ll see all over campus in the upcoming weeks.

1

1. TOPS: As the cold weather comes blowing in, you might not be able to wear just a T-shirt anymore. The mornings are cold, and the afternoons are sunny. Sweaters and flannels are the best way to layer. When the weather starts to heat up, you can tie them around your waist as an accessory.

2. PANTS: Jeans are a classic most people already have in their closets. They’re also versatile for everyday use. For a casual look, you can wear jeans with holes in them. For a dressed-up look, you can wear a dark wash or change up the color. If you’d rather be casual and have a long shirt to cover down to your upper thighs, leggings work as a more relaxed alternative.

2

3. SHOES: Boots are adaptable to any outfit. There are so many types and colors, and they can be your focal point or simply blend in to match your look. Adding fun, patterned socks can also add an element of layering and warmth to your style.

4. ACCESSORIES: Simple outfits are go-to’s for a rushed school morning, but adding a couple of accessories can make you look effortlessly casual. A scarf is a multifaceted piece that can dress up an outfit or add warmth. It may not be cold enough to wear beanies yet, but there are other hats to wear like baseball caps and floppy hats. These can be great extra pieces that can also hide that bed hair.

Louisiana Art and Science Museum showcases the sun

BY KAYLA RANDALL @kay_ran21 Louisianians know a thing or two about the sun’s heat.

Now at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum, there is more to learn.

In honor of the International Year of Light, the museum opened its “Sun Light/Star Light: Contemplations on the Solar Orb” exhibit, an intimate look at the sun and all its glory.

The exhibition brings together a selection of international artists and features paintings, light sculptures and digital works to make people think about the relationship they have with the star.

“Each individual piece in the exhibition is a little

contemplation on that artist’s thought about the sun,” Curator Elizabeth Weinstein said. “Together, of course, they make the whole.”

Weinstein said she put together “Sun Light/Star Light: Contemplations on the Solar Orb” because she enjoys creating exhibits based on subjects people are familiar with but can look at differently.

She said people sometimes forget the sun is a star, and how big it is in comparison to Earth.

The exhibit is here to remind everyone.

“The sun is universal. It’s something we all as human beings appreciate,” Weinstein said. “Woven through the exhibit, you have the beautiful aesthetics, imaginary works,

things that are more scientific, and you have a layer of spirituality too.”

One of the most striking aspects of “Sun Light/Star Light” is the giant “Solar Flare” sun fixture made of more than 100 acrylic tubes and weighing about 400 pounds. A sensor bulb in the fixture causes it to twinkle and project shimmering light patterns on the gallery walls.

Weinstein said the “Solar Flare” is a favorite amongst museum visitors, and she’s seen children dancing underneath.

To add a bit of family fun to the exhibit, “Sun Light/ Star Light: Contemplations on the Solar Orb” provides an

The Daily Reveille STAFF REPORTS | @TDR_entertain

With so many albums released this fall, The Daily Reveille is here to keep you updated with the most anticipated albums that shouldn’t be missed.

Carrie Underwood fans are anxiously biting their nails for the release of “Storyteller,” Underwood’s fifth studio album. It has been almost three-and-a-half years since her release of “Blown Away” in 2012. The featured single of the album will be “Smoke Break.”

“Storyteller” To be released Oct. 23

Though we don’t have an official name for Justin Bieber’s new album, Beliebers are looking forward to his new music.

On Oct. 2, Bieber posted pictures on Instagram hinting that “Purpose” will be the album name.

Ellie Goulding sweeps listeners away with her love songs, and her new album won’t be any different. “Delirium” will feature Disclosure, Swedish-songwriter Laleh, Max Martin and Ryan Tedder. It includes 16 tracks on the standard album and a bonus six tracks on the deluxe version.

Album title TBA To be released Nov. 13

“Delirium” To be released Nov. 6 Despite Tim McGraw’s release of “Sundown Heaven Town” a little over a year ago, he is up and running with “Damn Country Music.”

According to The Boot, McGraw says, “Music is always a progression,” and that’s what he aims to do with his new album. Fans will decide for themselves if the progression is a step in the right direction.

CeeLo Green put aside the controversy to focus on his new album “Heart Blanche.”

Following up his last album, “The Lady Killer” in 2010 could have been difficult. According to his manager, Larry Mestel, “Heart Blanche” is “arguably the best piece of work he’s ever done.”

Directioners be prepared.

“Made In The A.M.” will be One Direction’s first album without Zayn Malik. The only other thing that could drag you down is its release is the same day as Justin Bieber’s album. Fear not, Liam Payne of One Direction is so confident of “Made In The A.M.” he encouraged people to “burn it, smash it, poo on it” if they didn’t like it.

‘Big Pimpin’ lawsuit demonstrates shortfalls of copyright law YEEZY TAUGHT ME SARAH LEBOEUF Entertainment Writer It’s not a new, chart-topping hit or a worldwide tour that’s causing Shawn “Jay Z” Carter and Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley to appear in headlines this week but rather a song the duo released more than a decade ago.

The heirs of Baligh Hamdi, an Egyptian composer who created “Khosara Khosara,” are suing Jay Z and Timbaland for sampling Hamdi’s song without permission in “Big Pimpin,’” which Jay Z and Timbaland deny, according to NBC News.

Since the first form of copyright enforced by the government, The Statute of Anne, was enacted in the 1700s, governments worldwide tried to regulate and protect the intellectual property of content creators, Brett Gaylor’s documentary “RiP: A Remix Manifesto” explained.

Regulating copyright laws within and across national borders can be difficult, but based on Jay Z’s and Timbaland’s testimonies last week, the duo racks 99 problems, but a lawsuit ain’t one.

After realizing they sampled something from Hamdi, Jay Z and Timbaland paid his record label $100,000 for the license to sample, according to the BBC’s website. Both artists allege they thought they were clear of copyright infringement.

Timbaland’s lawyer argued the lawsuit is an “effort to get an undeserved income” because the money potentially earned from the lawsuit wouldn’t go to the original creator of “Khosara Khosara” but his heirs, according to the BBC’s website.

Money is central to this debate, and it leads to one of the fallacies of copyright lawsuits: The money won in these cases hardly ever goes to the creator of the content but rather the record label or the creator’s family.

This is seen in this case as well the lawsuit filed by Marvin Gaye’s family last year, when they won $7.4 million in a lawsuit Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for copyright infringement for artistic similarities between “Blurred Lines” and one of Gaye’s songs.

The purpose of copyright law is to protect the intellectual property of content creators, not bankroll their offspring.

It’s important to note that hardly any music today is absent of a sample. Almost anything new is inspired by some previous creation.

The controversy of music sampling essentially surrounds how much is sampled and how much is paid for the sample, not sampling itself.

A music expert testified Jay Z and Timbaland used only four notes of Hamdi’s song, according to NBC News.

Those four notes are a grey area in this specific case as well as copyright laws.

Around the time of the production of the 1999 hit “Big

Pimpin,’” there was “de minimis,” which is the idea that if a sample is short enough, it isn’t liable for infringement, which could explain why neither Jay Z nor Timbaland believed they were infringing on Hamdi’s copyright when they created the song.

In another famous lawsuit in the early 2000s, Newton v Diamond, the Beastie Boys didn’t get full permission for a 6-second jazz sample from James Newton, according to Brian Fitzgerald and Damien O’Brien’s journal for Media Arts and Law Review “Digital Sampling and Culture Jamming in a Remix World: What Does the Law Allow?” The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined it was de minimis, and the digital sample was legal.

For this case, I predict the jury may consider the short length of the sample as well as how it differs from the original work when deciding the verdict, and that could be in Jay Z and Timbaland’s favor.

But if this case follows the paradigm of similar lawsuits, like Thicke and Williams’ “Blurred Lines” lawsuit, then it looks like Jay Z and Timbaland will be “spendin’ cheese” on some hefty lawyer fees.

But they’re probably not worried about it. The musicians seem to have fun in the courtroom.

Huffington Post reported when discussing how the song came to fruition, Jay Z said, “[Timbaland] tells me his beats are better than my raps. I tell him my raps are better than his

Jay Z also joked about Kanye West when answering questions from his attorney on the stand.

“Some people may have heard of him,” Jay Z’s attorney said of West.

“One or two,” Jay Z responded. “He’s running for president.”

Timbaland even beatboxed in the courtroom, Stereogum reported.

When all the world’s a stage, the courtroom is no exception.

What do these multi millionaire musicians really have to worry about? Any money they could potentially lose in the case would be nothing compared to the magnitude of what their empires yield.

However, this isn’t the case

for all copyright lawsuits.

What about the musicians who haven’t reached the peak of their financial success? New and independent artists are often left out of the consideration of copyright laws and how they affect digital music sampling. Many times, these musicians don’t have the means to purchase the rights to sample a song or pay for the pricey lawsuits often associated with sampling music.

The attention Jay Z and Timbaland’s lawsuit garners also highlights the inadequacies in copyright law.

Museum guide Mina Major said when children come into the gallery space, they are instantly wowed.

“They walk in here, and it’s like bright eyes, bushy tails,” Major said. “I love the faces of the children.”

Taking a “selfie with the sun” is a big hit, especially with

young people. The museum normally does not allow pictures, so when it does for an exhibit like this, visitors go crazy over it, Major said.

One museumgoer decided the sun would be her entertainment platform while taking a selfie.

“We had a little girl talking about how she wanted to do

Though “Sun Light/Star Light” focuses on its star, the sun isn’t the only part of the solar system included. Weinstein thought it would only be right to conclude the exhibit with

the moon.

“We wouldn’t have moonlight if it wasn’t for the sun,” Weinstein said. “Moonlight is the reflection of the sun on the moon, and it gives us light to see by at night. It comes full circle.”

TOPS-Y TURVY CANDIDATES Students should understand where gubernatorial candidates stand on higher education funding ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY Columnist

Louisiana’s gubernatorial election is Saturday, and it’s time you children start paying attention because our next governor can change higher education and financial aid.

TOPS, Louisiana’s meritbased aid, will cost Louisiana almost $300 million by the 2018-19 school year if nothing changes.

Because Gov. Bobby Jindal’s quest for the White House overshadowed his obligation to govern, the challenge of sustaining TOPS and higher education will go to the next governor.

The most popular candidates have something to say about TOPS, but none are offering the reforms needed to sustain one of the best college aid programs in the country.

Still, some plans aren’t as bad as others, so let’s delve into options.

Jay Dardenne and John Bel Edwards want to make the same changes to TOPS — to cap the award so it won’t increase with tuition.

As long as tuition doesn’t increase, this plan shouldn’t be a problem. However, given the state’s — and nation’s — trend of increasing tuition every year, students shouldn’t trust these candidates on their words alone.

Louisiana’s lawmakers showed they’re willing to cap TOPS when they overwhelmingly

voted to do so this spring. Had it not been for Jindal’s veto, we would’ve all seen less financial aid this year. I have yet to see a majority of lawmakers willing to increase higher education funding. Our next governor shouldn’t leave students at the mercy of politics.

Dardenne and Edwards also want to increase state higher education funding. Students currently fund about 75 percent of higher education, while the state funds about 25 percent. Both candidates want to increase state funding to about 50 percent. Edwards wants to increase this funding by 2016, while Dardenne wants to do this at a slower pace.

Scott Angelle is taking Jindal’s approach. He wouldn’t cap TOPS, but he also hasn’t indicated he’ll restore higher education’s funding. He instead wants to cap tax rebates and credits.

Specifically, he wants to cap the movie tax credit.

We can’t refuse to change TOPS. It’s irresponsible governance. Sure, we might have funding for this program, but what’s Angelle going to do about TOPS’ runaway money problem?

Louisiana Budget Project found about 13 percent of students lose their TOPS award each year because of poor grades or dropping below full-time status. Millions of dollars go down the drain each year, meaning Louisiana loses its return on investment.

David Vitter’s plan for sustaining TOPS is vague at best.

His campaign website suggests he’s open to reforms for our

program, but he doesn’t get more specific.

Regardless, he’s no champion for students. He has a record of voting to decrease federal aid for students and schools in the Senate. It’s hard to trust a man with a record of hurting students.

Interestingly, none of our candidates seem to care about low-income students because they’ve all been nearly silent on Go Grants, Louisiana’s needbased financial aid. Go Grants fill the gap between a student’s financial aid and cost of attendance. At most, the candidates mention Go Grants offhandedly instead of making it a focal issue.

Students get a maximum of $3,000 a year for Go Grants regardless of a school’s cost of attendance, meaning students receiving this need-based grant can still be underfunded for school.

Our next governor needs to use Go Grants to completely close the cost of attendance gap and reform TOPS to still fund education while also making students more accountable for their education.

I won’t tell you who to vote for, but I will tell you to research the candidates and vote for someone. Your financial aid is on the line. Voting is Saturday, Oct. 24.

If you’re not registered to vote, you can still register for the inevitable runoff election.

Wildfires often overshadowed in La., need better precautions BURNT TO A CRISP GARRET HINES Columnist Spanish moss droops over aged cypress bark and steam rises from the black muck of storied bayous, creating a picture perfect scene — that is until a hurricane storm surge washes away the crevices for crawfish. After the torrents subside, the morning dew cleanses the banks of the Mississippi River to prepare for a new day.

Any Louisianian knows this scene all too well. At least, that’s what fiction writers, Discovery Channel and any “true Louisiana expert” will tell you. What they

leave out are the natural disasters that mold the land we call home.

While hurricanes are the most infamous, there are other disasters outside of oil spills, levee breaks and Gov. Bobby Jindal’s decisions that threaten to ruin the state’s welfare.

In the past two weeks, a fire in northwest Louisiana consumed 5000 acres of woodland. Bienville Parish Ward 4&5 Fire Protection Chief Bobby Conly, along with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal, said the fire “is believed to have been sparked by lightning.”

Wildfire threats across the state are serious, and Smokey the Bear put Louisiana on high alert.

Another fire sparked in Natchitoches Parish, at its peak it was 250 acres and incinerated another 1,500 acres of Louisiana’s hardwood resources. An inferno in Sabine Parish prompted evacuations. Had it not been for air-assisted fire retardation, six to eight homes could have been destroyed, said South Sabine Fire District Jason Holcomb.

Most of the damage from the fires affected deer stands and empty cabins because the fires occurred in rural areas, and firefighters worked quickly and bravely, risking their lives. Their work is commendable, as these rural areas drive the forestry industry, which is “the second largest manufacturing employer in Louisiana,” according to the Louisiana Forestry Association.

Wildfires threaten the livelihoods and well-being of countless Louisianians.

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry issued a burn ban citing “extreme dry conditions, abnormal emergency response and adverse future weather predictions.” This means no tossing cigarette butts outside window, halting annual leaf burnings in backyards and not leaving fire pits unattended where embers could spark unmitigated disasters.

Everyone has a part to play in ensuring the safety of our precious natural resources and respecting the officials charged with maintaining this order.

Many express contempt for law official officers, especially Louisiana Department of Wildlife

and Fisheries bean counters who count the number of deer killed in a hunt or are picky about the exact date the first duck is shot.

No one enjoys having their personal freedom curtailed by people seen as paper pushers who collect government checks and live off the dime of “hard working taxpayers.” These officers, however, are important, and their words on matters concerning fires are invaluable.

It’s paramount to protect the natural resources, beauty and character of this state by refraining from adding fuel to potential fires.

Early voting shows difficult path to victory for John Bel Edwards

The latest early voting numbers could spell trouble for Democrats.

Early voting ended last week and is often an indicator of voter enthusiasm. Whoever shows up to vote two weeks before an election can predict who will show up to vote on Election Day in the weeks.

With this year’s election falling on an LSU gameday, voter turnout is expected to be even lower than usual. This makes early voting data crucial in showing which side is most excited to vote for their respective candidate.

Early voting stats tell us the race, sex, political party and parish where the voter is from. But early voting statistics can’t tell the age or actual vote cast. We have to wait until election day to find out.

The Democratic path to victory is often dubbed the “30-30 rule:” 30 percent African-American voters plus 30 percent of the white vote.

The last election where voters elected a statewide

of U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s, R-La., 41 percent. This lead is still within the margin of error though.

And Edwards was polling at 32 percent support among white voters, but this year’s low African-American early voting turnout illustrates how crucial the white vote will be in the gubernatorial election.

Edwards needs to energize more black voters or hold his percentage of white voters in the runoff if he wants to be the next governor. Twenty-six to 28 percent black turnout isn’t enough to cross the finish line victorious, as the white vote is likely to peel off once he is tied to President Obama, a figure deeply unpopular with white voters in Louisiana.

Edwards may have the white votes he needs for now, but his Republican opponents have largely laid off bashing him — probably because Vitter views him as his easiest opponent. Edwards has a tightrope to walk in order to piece together the coalition to be Louisiana’s next governor because the numbers sure as hell aren’t there yet.

numbers out of 2,893,292 registered voters

MICHAEL BEYER Columnist

Democrat was 2008, when Mary Landrieu was re-elected to the Senate.

According to 2008 exit polls, Landrieu won 33 percent of white voters and won re-election. In last year’s midterm election, Landrieu struggled to capture the white vote, only winning with 18 percent of white voters.

The white vote doomed Landrieu’s re-election chances last year, and it should worry Democrats this year, too.

Early voting already skewed more white and Republicans than in past years. In 2008, there were 292,213 early votes.

Thirty-five percent of those who early voted were AfricanAmerican, and 57.7 percent were Democrats.

The contrast could not be starker to this year, where 222,164 people early voted: 26.7 percent were African-American, and 50.3 percent were Democrats.

But Democrats have a reason to hope for this gubernatorial race: State Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, may capture the percentage of the white vote he needs to win.

In a hypothetical, and most likely runoff, scenario, an Advocate-WWLTV poll had Edwards at 45 percent, four points ahead

Obama’s plan to keep troops in Afghanistan contradicts platform NOT MARIAH CAREY MARIAH MANUEL Columnist “As you are well aware, I do not support the idea of endless war,” President Obama said on Thursday. What he should have said was, “I do not support endless war, but this war will never end, at least not under my authority.”

Obama announced he would no longer withdraw nearly all troops by the end of next year, but will instead leave 5,500 troops in Afghanistan to oversee gains from 14 years of war.

Although U.S. troops will not perform a combat role, they will still assist through counterterrorism measures and training of Afghan soldiers in Kabul.

This new plan runs contrary to Obama’s prior promise to have all troops, excluding a small embassy base, withdrawn by 2016. The president relegated

the fierce conflict to his successor, catapulting war to the hot button issue of the week for the presidential debate.

Our president touts great success in Afghanistan, but this notion is dubious as we near the end of our 14th year at war. The U.S. has lost 4,425 troops at the expense of another nation, with 32,223 soldiers wounded in action.

At the democratic presidential debate on Wednesday, candidate Martin O’Malley quoted John Quincy Adams, “America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” We fought our neighbors’ battles for too long, and we have lost too many lives, not to mention the nearly $15 billion cost per year.

The president’s decision to propel a “modest but meaningful extension of our presence” into Afghanistan will cost $5 billion — $5 billion that could be spent solving U.S. citizens’ problems.

On the 2012 campaign trail, Obama said, “You know I say what I mean and mean what I

say. I said I’d end the war in Iraq.

I ended the war in Iraq.”

But the war is not over.

Obama will pass the conflicts to the next president, allowing him to get off scot-free and clear of any blame. Former President George W. Bush began the war on false premises, but Obama is extending the war into a fifth presidency.

Despite the tragic loss of thousands of U.S. lives, the war had a devastating effect on our economy, facilitating one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression in 1929.

Withdrawing troops isn’t as simple as it seems, but the magnitude of this decision can’t be ignored. Americans already lack trust in government and Obama’s broken promise only furthers the deceitful and divisive nature of politics.

The greater issue is whether the U.S. can’t leave or simply won’t. It is not the United States’ job to nurse the wounds of wartorn countries. Our founders

fought for our freedom and independence from other nations, yet we continuously chain ourselves to others on the premises of power and military obligation.

Obama is leaving office with a tarnished reputation, a desolate political institution and a 14year war looming for at least two more years. The most important concern is self-defense, which could be handled by increasing counterterrorism mechanisms at home.
