Clinton rallies in Baton Rouge

Caitlin, Get Your Gun LSU student to compete in Olympic trials for shooting
around the world for competitions, from Egypt to Italy and Australia to Azerbaijan. Its contents tell the story of her accomplishments in women’s shooting, a decade-old passion of Connor’s.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton championed middle-class economics, affordable health care and racial justice at a campaign stop at the Louisiana Leadership Institute in Baton Rouge on Monday. The speech was part of an event to organize and recruit volunteers in Louisiana for Clinton’s presidential campaign, drawing a crowd of more than 1,200 people, said Hyma Moore, communication director for New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Clinton advertised her tenure as Secretary of State for the Obama administration in 2009, following a disastrous recession she said was caused by Republican leadership. “I don’t think President Obama gets the credit he deserves for pulling us out,” Clinton said. She dropped Obama’s name several times to a warm reception from the Baton Rouge crowd and characterized her husband’s presidential tenure as financially successful. She said former president Bill Clinton brought the country a balanced

TECHNOLOGY
Geaux Ride app aims to bring carpooling to university BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter With new technology promoting ride-sharing, LSU students have more options for environmentally-friendly travel. Geaux Ride, a new mobile app designed by the Capital Region Planning Commission to connect carpoolers, launched Sept. 16 with a celebration in downtown Baton Rouge. The app uses software to match users based off their commutes and personal preferences. “We have already been promoting it to students and staff via social media,” said Campus Sustainability Manager Sarah Temple. “One of our major goals is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all university operations and activities, and an obvious source is vehicles from students and employees
commuting.” The app has several environmental benefits, according to the Geaux Ride website, and the commission’s website said the program will help solve the traffic issues that plague Baton Rouge. Geaux Ride allows users to create a profile including information like their home address, workplace and route. Then, the software matches users with others in their area who may work or live in similar locations. Geaux Ride adds to a number of services already available to LSU students. Uber, the personal driver app, came to Baton Rouge in 2014. Uber’s basic service runs a base rate of $1.75 with a rate of $0.25 per minute and $1.35 per mile. Louis Gremillion, Student Government transportation director, updated the SG Senate on the transloc rider app and bus routes at a meeting earlier
this month. The LSU bus systems’s transloc rider app for the bus system allows riders to see where buses are currently located, as well as any announcements that may affect their commute. Gremillion said LSU Parking and Transportation Services has worked to update the app. “There’s a new feature now,” Gremillion said at the meeting. “It’s called passenger count. It gives you the percentage for how full that bus is.” Zipcar, a car sharing mobile service, should also be coming to LSU soon, Gremillion said. After buying a membership, members can reserve vehicles and use them for $8-10 per hour. The program should especially cater to out-of-state or international students who might not have cars on campus, Gremillion said. In addition, Campus Sustainability will continue to look
at ways students can travel in a greener way while saving money, Temple said. “Our Campus Committee on Sustainability, which will be meeting for the first time this fall, will have a dedicated transportation subcommittee to specifically strategize on alternative transportation possibilities for the university,” Temple said. “Incentives for ridesharing programs will certainly be explored. In addition to all of the environmental benefits of ridesharing, users can save money, see less wear and tear on their vehicles and even possibly make a few new friends.” Other changes to student transportation have been made over recent months, including the addition of a bus stop at the LSU Student Union. There were complaints from students living near Ben Hur Road of overcrowded buses,
Gremillion said. Transit pulled a bus from the reserve fleet to handle some of the extra passengers. Since the spare bus transported roughly 1,700 riders, the bus will continue along that route until demand decreases. With the purple bus route now going by the Union, several students were confused about the bus no longer stopping at the West Campus Apartments, Gremillion said, though Parking is looking into a way to keep those stops. Last year, several students expressed a desire for a bus route that extended down Brightside Drive, Gremillion said, and that route might be in the works. In the spring semester, Tiger Trails will be getting a facelift, with new buses replacing the current fleet, Gremillion said. The buses will include USB ports for phone chargers and will be customized for LSU.

Edwards’ funeral to be held Wednesday Afternoon services will be conducted at North Monroe BY QUINT FORGEY news@lsureveille.com Tyler Matthew Edwards, a 26-year-old student and former LSU tight end who passed away unexpectedly Saturday night, was as committed to his faith and family as he was football. “Rest in EDWARDS peace my friend,” “heaven gained a good one,” and “ouachita and lsu will miss you” were just some of the Twitter posts from Edwards’ loved ones who took to social media following his death. A graduate of Ouachita Parish High School, Edwards was a member of the LSU football team from 2008 through the 2012 season, after redshirting for his true freshman season. He played in a total of 39 games during his collegiate career. Edwards returned to the university this fall to complete his degree, The Daily Reveille previously reported. Prior to fall 2015, Edwards was last enrolled at LSU in fall 2013. Edwards is survived by his father, mother, stepmother, stepfather, brothers, sisters, siblings-in-law, grandmothers, nieces and nephews. Funeral services for Edwards will take place at North Monroe Baptist Church in Monroe, Louisiana, at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Visitation will last from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Mulhearn Funeral Home in Monroe, Louisiana. Additional viewing before the funeral will take place Wednesday from 1 p.m. until the start of the service at North Monroe Baptist Church. Those who wish to contribute to Edwards’ memory may make a memorial to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
Edwards is survived by his father, mother, stepmother, stepfather, brothers, sisters, siblings-in-law, grandmothers, nieces and nephews.

CONNOR, from page 1 “I like how competitive it is and how it usually comes down to one target, keeping ourselves and everyone else on the edge of their seats until it’s over,” Connor said. Now, the 24-year-old LSU transfer student said she hopes to backpack her way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 2016 Summer Olympics. She will compete for the last vacant spot on the U.S. women’s team when Olympic trials commence in Tucson, Arizona, in October. Connor, who claimed the title of women’s skeet shooting national champion in June, ranks No. 2 worldwide in the sport and holds the record for best 100-straight. “It still hasn’t sunk in yet,” Connor said. “It’s been by far my best year in shooting.” Her world championship final round was a nail-biter, she said. Connor was up against her teammate from the national team, fighting for one of the two remaining spots on the women’s Olympic team. Her teammate won the shootout and took the global title, reserving one Olympic slot for herself. However, Connor’s No. 2 rank may come in handy during Olympic trials because the No. 1 skeet shooter is already on the team. Connor said she feels confident about filling the last vacancy. “I’m not really that nervous right now — I guess because I’ve been shooting against a lot of really good women shooters in the U.S.,” she said. “I shot against a 5-time Olympic medalist ... and beat her.” She said trials are split into two sessions — in October and May. Between the two sessions, competitors shoot 500 targets. Whoever has the highest combined score will take the Olympic spot, Connor said. Though her parents, three brothers and sister all practiced shooting recreationally in

Young, who was in the middle of his second term as Parish Councilman-at-large, ran and won with 80 percent of the vote. “Literally 10 days after I got elected, I was sworn in as Parish President and had to go about not only running the second largest parish in the state, but also ... rebuilding the public’s confidence and trust in the parish government,” Young said. He said he regained constituent trust by creating the Office of Inspector General, the first of its kind in parish history. He made the office independent of the parish president’s office and the parish council, so it would have its own budget source. Young said he was able to create the office without imposing any new taxes. He also garnered public support by calling two executive orders: cancelling all

She moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2009 for Olympic training in shooting while also taking community college courses. Four years later, Connor returned to her northern Louisiana roots and enrolled at LSU-Eunice. Before she thinks about making it to Rio, she said, she needs to focus on school. Connor joined the LSU main campus community in August for the fall semester. “Shooting takes up most all of my time, so I’ve been trying to slowly tackle college,” she said. Connor said she chose the flagship university’s Eunice location because it offered the most online classes, which worked best with her hectic traveling schedule, averaging three national competitions, four world cups and one world championship per year. Outside training and the classroom, Connor said she government-issued credit cards — including his own — and putting every parish contract online after inviting the Louisiana Bureau of Governmental Research to conduct a study on Jefferson Parish’s contracting process. After these executive orders, Young said Jefferson Parish became one of the most transparent and accountable models for parish governments in Louisiana. He said his unique skill set, acquired from his legal career as an assistant district attorney and prosecutor, works to his advantage when dealing with the negative influence of crime on tourism. “[Crime] has a negative impact in both the growth of the tourism industry and the ability for us to attract retirees to our state, which is also a function of the lieutenant governor’s office,” Young said. Young said he would like to see the lieutenant governor’s office better funded and see Louisiana establish itself as a retirement destination and see Hollywood

Tigers undefeated in Sunday matchups LSU outscores opponents 11-1
BY C.J. RUCKER @Ruckmatic
second game. Auburn junior quarterback Jeremy Johnson was able to have some success in the second half as he recorded all three of his touchdowns in the final two periods. But that also was the half when the LSU defensive front was most impressive in attacking Johnson in the backfield, notching four of the five sacks. “That quarterback can move his feet,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “There’s some talent to that guy, and we’re in the backfield. I like the fact we can get in that opponent’s backfield and get to that quarterback.”
For most people, Sunday is the dreaded day before the start of a new week, but for the LSU soccer team, it’s the most successful. LSU is 4-0 at home on Sunday afternoons through its first 10 games this season. Last year, the Tigers only won five games all year — none of which came on Sunday — but this year is different. LSU (7-12, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) has only given up one goal in its four Sunday matches, and the Tigers have outscored opponents 11-1, in 360 minutes of play. The Tigers’ success on Sunday stems from the play of their dynamic duo up front. Junior forward Summer Clarke and sophomore forward Jorian Baucom have scored in every Sunday afternoon match this season, and the two have scored all but one of the team’s goals and combined for three assists. Baucom said her chemistry with Clarke gives the team an advantage. “[Chemistry] improves with each game,” Baucom said. “We’re constantly working on it at practice. This preseason is ultimately the main reason why we have such strong chemistry. I think we’ve come to the point where we know each other’s strengths and

LSU defensive front finds needed pass rushing element in first two games BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR Maybe it’s LSU defensive line coach Ed Orgeron’s intensity and coaching techniques. Maybe it’s defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s scheme. Maybe it’s just a more mature defense finally fixing an area it desperately needed last season. Whatever it is, the sack is back for the LSU defense. After 2014, during which they finished 13th in the Southeastern Conference in total sacks with just 19, the Tigers already have nearly half that amount after just two games in 2015. A top-three conference ranking in
that category has been accomplished in one less game than LSU’s counterparts. With five sacks against Auburn, LSU is up to eight on the year to match another eight quarterback hurries. Conversely, the LSU offensive line has allowed sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris to be sacked once and hurried only once, providing a completely clean sheet Saturday afternoon. While the offensive line was critical to a 2-0 start, bolstering a 411-yard rushing effort against Auburn, the defense, especially the pass rush, limited an All-SEC quarterback in the first game and made life miserable for a young quarterback in the

Linebacker Jones reflects on targeting penalty, ejection White, Adams look forward to Syracuse BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR After becoming the first Tiger to be ejected from a game for targeting Saturday, senior linebacker Deion Jones has accepted his mistake as a learning experience and will spend his halfgame suspension against Syracuse University cheering on the rotation that will take his place. When he raced toward Auburn junior quarterback Jeremy Johnson with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter
of LSU’s 45-21 victory against Auburn, Jones said he wasn’t trying to injure him, but he understood why the referee made the targeting call that led to his ejection. “I don’t intentionally plan on hurting anybody,” Jones said. “I was just trying to make a play on the ball. My hat got a little high, and the referee made a great call. … I can’t be mad at anybody for doing their job.” Since the ejection was added to the 15-yard penalty in 2013, Jones said LSU coach Les Miles has placed a premium on teaching his defensive players to tackle correctly and avoid the targeting calls by sending close plays
to the NCAA head of officiating for analysis. Jones jokingly said he will be added to the “teach tape.” After leading the Tigers with 20 tackles through their first two games, Jones said he can’t wait to get on the field for the second half against Syracuse. And he will put himself to use during the first half by cheering on his teammates. While Jones looks on from the sidelines, fierce competition for his starting spot leaves the lineup uncertain. “It’s going to be good,” said junior linebacker Duke Riley.

Miles addresses Syracuse, Leonard Fournette at luncheon BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR In his weekly Subway Fresh Take luncheon, LSU coach Les Miles addressed the upcoming game against Syracuse, Leonard Fournette Heisman Trophy talk and team-wide injury updates. LSU VS. SYRACUSE The Tigers will depart for New York on Friday for their morning kickoff against Syracuse (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) on Saturday in the Carrier Dome. “This will be a great opportunity for our guys to go east,” Miles said. “We will face a variety quality opponent. They are a talented, well-coached team. They have a very strong program.” A victory against Syracuse would solidify a 50-game win streak against nonconfer-
ence opponents for LSU. Under Miles, the Tigers are 39-0 against non-SEC teams. This Saturday will be Syracuse’s fourth straight game in the Carrier Dome, which is well-known for the circus it produces during Syracuse’s basketball season. Miles fears the same rowdy crowd will be there on Saturday morning. “We expect the crowd to be the biggest, loudest and most aggressive away stadium that benefits the home team,” Miles said. “It’s going to make us fight to play well.” FOURNETTE FOR HEISMAN? Sophomore running back Fournette, the SEC Player of the Week and Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, ran for a career-best 228 yards on 19 carries for three touchdowns against Auburn on Sept. 19.
‘He’s a leader. He wants to achieve great things for his team, and his teammates enjoy him.’ LES MILES football coach “The thing that makes him special is that he is a very humbled man,” Miles said. “He’s a great teammate. He’s a leader. He wants to achieve great things for his team, and his teammates enjoy him.” Fournette jumped the rest of the candidacy field after his performance against Auburn, leading the pack of Heisman candidates with odds at 11 to 2, according to the Bovada in Las Vegas. “I’m for national awards to our players,” Miles said. “Leonard is a good person and somebody who could easily be
considered for a number of national awards.” Fournette closed in on the LSU school-record of yards rushed in one game (250), but after getting nicked when diving into the endzone for his third touchdown, Miles pulled Fournette out of the game for fear of further injury. Miles said Fournette wasn’t hurt in Saturday’s game, which is strange to Miles. “As hard as he runs, if he doesn’t get bruised then something is wrong,” he said. DEION JONES — TARGETING UPDATE Senior linebacker Deion Jones was ejected from Saturday’s contest against Auburn after targeting an opposing player’s helmet. As the NCAA mandates, Jones was removed from the game and must miss the first half of the next contest. “It’s a pain to have a
quality player standing on the sideline,“ Miles said. “But, it’s a quality rule, and I want that rule enforced as it was.” Jones will be replaced by both junior linebacker Duke Riley and senior linebacker Lamar Louis, Miles said. ON THE DEATH OF FORMER TIGHT END TYLER EDWARDS Tyler Edwards, 26, died on Saturday, most likely due to a self-inflicted gunshot, said Monroe Police Department Detective Reggie Brown. Miles, who was clearly distraught when asked about the death of one of his former players, was at a loss for words. “It’s just so sad,” Miles said. “I don’t know exactly what to say. He was a fine young man who busted his tail for us. He did everything we asked him to do. I don’t know the specifics, but all I know is he is no more.”
Colin Jeter emerges as weapon in versatile tight end group BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR The play wasn’t preceded by 12 consecutive rushing attempts this time, but the end result was the same — a tight end in the back end zone with the ball in his hands. In fact, sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris’ play-action rollout and one-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Colin Jeter on Saturday against Auburn was almost identical to the game-winning touchdown pass from then-sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings to former Tiger tight end Logan Stokes in LSU’s 10-7 win against Ole Miss last season. Well, to everyone but Stokes. “[Stokes] is actually here, and we’ve been talking a little trash back and forth about it,” Jeter said jokingly at the indoor practice facility on Monday. “He claims his was two yards deeper. He’s been giving me crap about it.” Stokes’ reception, the only of his LSU career, was actually two yards longer, but Jeter’s role in the 2015 offense may be larger than that of one of his predecessors. Alongside junior tight end DeSean Smith, Jeter emerged as a reliable pass catcher and serviceable run blocker through the first two games of the season. In LSU’s run-heavy offense, LSU coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron have been known to use tight ends, especially senior tight end Dillon Gordon, as extra offensive linemen. But Smith and Jeter proved they are capable of

LSU junior tight end Colin Jeter (81) catches the ball for a touchdown during the Tigers’ 45-21 victory against Auburn on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. stretching the field, making the LSU offense more deceptive than it once was. “That’s the advantage of running [the] ball so much and having these big ol’ tight ends in,” said redshirt freshman guard William Clapp. “Safeties, corners and linebackers forget that they are a threat in the passing game. Slip somebody out, thinking they are going to block, and then they run whatever type of
route. All of sudden, they are wide open.” Talk of an increased role for tight ends in the passing game was the buzz in the offseason, but it really started last season with Smith hauling in four receptions for 66 yards in the Tigers’ 31-28 loss to Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl. Neither Smith nor Jeter have particularly gaudy numbers thus far, as the two have
combined for just four receptions. At least one reception from each, though, proved to be crucial in the early portion of the first two games. On a third-and-11 in a scoreless first quarter against Mississippi State, Harris hit Smith on a 23-yard strike, putting LSU in position to punch in a one-yard touchdown dive from sophomore running back Leonard Fournette later
in the drive. Then, Jeter’s touchdown this weekend was the first and only touchdown reception by a Tiger thus far. Even with a limited number of passing attempts for Harris, Jeter joked the tight ends may have room for a little playful trash talking to receivers. Even more important, though, is Harris’ ability to spread the ball around, Jeter said. “He’s not afraid to throw it to any guy,” Jeter said. “As long as you have his confidence and his respect, he’s going to trust you with the ball.” While Jeter did take a blow to the ribs on a pass he nearly came down with later against Auburn, he returned and helped produce a 411-yard outing from Fournette, Harris and the LSU rushing attack. The offensive line, including Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week Vadal Alexander, will receive much of the praise for paving the way for ball carriers. But when Gordon went down with an achilles injury early in the game, Jeter, Smith and freshman tight end Foster Moreau provided the extra bodies Fournette and others needed to get to the second level. “To tell you the truth, [the tight ends] are like a miniature one of us,” said junior offensive tackle Jerald Hawkins. “They take pride in blocking and everything they do, especially when it deals with us convoying together. They love it. From Jeter to DeSean and especially Dillon, they all love it.”

Saints fans don’t have much to be excited for this season Brees not solely to blame for offense’s struggles INTO THE WOODS JACK WOODS Sports Columnist I’ve seen some bad New Orleans Saints teams over the years. This year’s team is down there with the worst of them, and that’s before taking into consideration that Drew Brees may be slated to miss a few games. It’s hard to find anything Saints fans can be excited about in 2015. I don’t think many people were high on the Saints’ defense entering the season, and through two games, it’s easy to understand the lack of optimism. The Saints have allowed 760 yards through week two. That’s 380 yards per game, which is not ideal. Not only is the Saints’ defense giving up yards, it’s giving up points. The Saints have allowed 57 points (28.5 points per game) in their two games — that’s 27th in the league. If those numbers stay the same throughout the season, it’ll be hard for New Orleans to win any of its games. If there’s a bright spot for the defense, it’s the fact that it has

Yesterday, the two turnovers the Saints forced were timely and gave the offense a chance to put them right back in the game. However, the offense squandered a short field with a missed field goal on one of the possessions, highlighting a more alarming problem for New
Orleans: The offense just isn’t producing enough. Last season, the Saints had more offensive yards than any team in the NFL, but they’ve dropped to ninth this season. In 2014, the Saints’ offense averaged more than 25 points per game, but in 2015, it’s only averaging 19 points per game.
Brees once looked completely unstoppable. He looks far from that in 2015. He has 610 yards and a completion percentage of 62.8 percent, 6.4 percent worse than last year. Brees also has thrown as many interceptions as touchdowns — two. To blame Brees for the offensive struggles would be
unjust, though. The Saints traded away his top two targets during the offseason, so he no longer has the proper weapons to produce at the same level he has in the past. The Saints have relied on a dynamic offense in recent seasons, and the offense isn’t there anymore. An offense declining in production and a porous defense are a bad combination. Now, ESPN’s Ed Werder reported Brees experienced pain and weakness in his passing shoulder during the Saints’ loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday, and he is likely to miss several games. If Brees misses an extended period of time, the only thing the Saints will be in contention for is the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. The upcoming schedule makes the Saints’ near future even gloomier. The next five games feature trips to Carolina, Philadelphia and Indianapolis, while two home games are against Dallas and Atlanta.

The LSU soccer team huddles before the Tigers’ 5-1 victory against Marquette on Sunday at the LSU Soccer Stadium.
SUNDAY, from page 5 how to utilize them on the field. I know Summer needs through balls because she has speed and can make it there.” LSU played stiff competition in its four Sundays — Duke, Marquette, Indiana and Minnesota. The Tigers were tested against all four teams, but they gutted out a victory each time. LSU coach Brian Lee said he wanted the games to mimic the team’s unforgiving SEC schedule, and it was a success. “The nonconference schedule we put together was designed to play like an SEC season,” Lee said. “Indiana, Minnesota, Duke and Marquette are all good programs that might be in the NCAA tournament come yearend. I think we’re prepped for SEC play.” The Tigers already beat Marquette and Duke, both who beat them in Sunday matches last season. LSU played from behind for the majority of both games they played against Marquette and Duke last year but were not able to stage a comeback.
JONES, from page 5 “I don’t know if it will be me for sure. It could be me. It could be [sophomore Donnie Alexander], [senior Lamar Louis]. It could be anyone of us. Whoever it is will continue to go out there and play with great effort.” Secondary veterans excited to play Syracuse No matter what the situation, there is always excitement surrounding something new. Junior cornerback Tre’Davious White and sophomore safety Jamal Adams have seen it all from humid Saturday nights in the Swamp to the Aggie Yells at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. But both will face a new challenge against Syracuse in the Carrier Dome on Saturday: an indoor stadium. “It’s going to be our first time playing in an indoor stadium,”
This time, the Tigers were faced with a 1-0 deficit early in the first half against Marquette but countered with five unanswered goals to win the game. LSU managed to net its first goal of the Sunday afternoon game when it was down a starter after Baucom sprained her ankle early in the game. Baucom said seeing her team fight to come back from an early deficit on a scorching afternoon motivated her to re-enter the game and net two goals of her own. “It just comes down to heart,” Baucom said. “I knew my team needed me, and I just had to buckle down and play through that injury. Being able to see them play with a player down for at least 10 minutes was incredible.” Lee said his team’s conditioning level had a direct effect on its success on Sunday. “For one, we’re fit, so we can focus more [on Sundays],” Lee said after the team’s win against Marquette on Sunday. “Today was the hottest Sunday of the year, so it was the biggest test. We competed hard the entire 90 minutes.” White said. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s a different type of opponent [a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference]. We’re going to up there and perform well.” Although the trip to New York will be a first for White, Adams is looking forward to the trip for an entirely different reason — reconnecting with family. Adams is expecting to have the rare opportunity to play in front of his extended family, who are based in New York, if they can get off work. “If so, then you’ll see a lot of them there,” Adams said. “I definitely want them to come, but you know how work is. Sometimes, it’s kind of busy, especially in New York. They don’t get to come down and see me. I haven’t seen them in a couple years. For them to come to my game, that would be awesome.”
Johnson is known as more of a pocket passer compared to his predecessor, Nick Marshall, who torched the LSU defense for 119 rushing yards in the 2014 contest on The Plains. However, the firstyear starter’s first touchdown came on a 65-yard touchdown run up the middle on the opening drive of the third quarter. Still, LSU was mostly able to keep Johnson from breaking loose from the pocket as he netted just 41 total yards on the ground. “[Orgeron told us] just keep him off the edges,” said junior defensive end Tashawn Bower. “You don’t want to let him lose contain and all that. You want to keep him in the pocket, keep him uncomfortable, and it will come. We have great ‘DBs’ and great linebackers, who can cover. They’re going to give us plenty of time to get there.” Another bright spot for the Tigers was the play of sophomore defensive tackle Frank
Herron, who hit the trifecta with a forced fumble and recovery on a sack of Johnson late in the third quarter. More than just his play was Herron and sophomore defensive tackle Greg Gilmore’s ability to spell the starters, sophomore defensive tackle Davon Godchaux and junior defensive tackle Christian LaCouture, and still be effective on a humid afternoon in Tiger Stadium. Last season, Gilmore and Herron hardly played. This season, they’re integral members of the defensive line rotation. “Frank is a great three-technique with myself,” Godchaux, who now has three sacks on the season, said. “Frank is going to be a pretty good player. Him and Greg have so much confidence in their game from last year. Coach ‘O’ just brought them so much confidence. It never was that we couldn’t do it. It was just a want to do it. ... Them backing me up, I don’t not trust them one bit. I know they’re going to go out and get the job done.”

Assistant professor for experimental music and digital media Jesse Allison sets up his faculty performance titled ‘Digital Divide.’
LSU program allows students to create experimental music STAFF REPORTS • @TDR_entertain With 92 speakers and an ultra-high definition projector in the Digital Media Center Theatre at its disposal, LSU’s Experimental Music and Digital Media program pushes the boundaries of sound design and music creation. LSU’s Experimental Music and Digital Media program provides educational paths that allow students to create experimental music and other digital media without compromise. EMDM resides half in the School of Music and half in the Center for Computation and Technology to give students access to resources from both locations to create “sonic art.” EMDM will showcast what students practice during its Digital Divide event on Sept. 24 in the Digital Media Cen-
ter Theatre. The event will help explain what the program does. EMDM assistant professor Jesse Allison said the department’s home spans the entire campus. “We develop instruments on the south side of campus and then we take the new instruments to the north side of campus to compose new works for these instruments,” Allison said. Five years ago, Allison said he was brought to LSU to develop the EMDM program to upgrade the already successful computer music program that came before it. EMDM does not only cover music, but any types of digital media a student or faculty member wants to develop. Allison said the program is constantly shifting as new

Nutrition and food science senior Kristen Salles combined her love of food with her passion for nutrition when she started Kristen’s Catering, a personalized meal delivery service for individuals and small groups. Kristen’s Catering is a parttime business run by Salles and delivers fresh and nutritious meals to customers who have limited time to cook for themselves. The business was created nearly six months ago after this past spring break when Salles said an LSU student was too busy to cook her own meals. Salles said the student enjoyed her meal, and she decided she had a potential business model. She then began to cook for friends and family friends. A Baton Rouge native, Salles said she enjoys cooking nutritious, homestyle meals. She’s even created an Instagram to show off her dishes such as zucchini noodles, crawfish etouffee and sweet potato pie. Salles said her favorite dish to cook for customers is a full baked chicken with vegetable stewed rice. Besides Instagram photos, Salles said her business relies on word of mouth and referrals. Salles said her knowledge of nutrition from her university classes aides her in her

Local online jewelry store owner creates wearable art BY KAYLA RANDALL @kay_ran21 Being the elephant in the room is typically negative, but wearing the elephant in the room is an entirely different story. Jewelry designer Lurtisha Simon lives by this, as she creates what she calls “wearable art” for her online store Doll Face Jewelry. However, designing jewelry isn’t a full-time job for Simon. She mentors low-income and first generation college students with the Upward Bound program at Baton Rouge Community College. Simon said it was her love of
fashion and need to spread her creative wings that led her to jewelry making during her free time. “After I finished my master’s [degree], I just started making jewelry,” Simon said. “I got tired of going to the store and buying the cookie-cutter trendy stuff.” At first, Simon said she wasn’t looking to sell her creations. Then after people saw her wearing the items, they advised her to sell them. She made an official website and sold her pieces online, and now making jewelry is more than a hobby. Simon’s jewelry is mostly made of wood and baking clay, which she uses to cut and mold
the items. She describes her creations as bold, colorful and cutesy, full of tribal prints and bright neon. Simon said she credits her mother for influencing her creativity. She said her mom was less about fitting in and more about standing out. “In elementary school is where it started,” Simon said. “My mom used to sew clothes, and we would cry and say we want uniforms to fit in, and she’d teach us fashion.” Simon said her mother would make her school uniform fashionable by making chain belts and suspenders for her to wear.

knowledge of how food groups apply to the human body, and cooking helps her solidify her knowledge. “It is an incorporation of a passion and a business,” Salles said. She said she was inspired to learn how to cook from her grandmother and her parents and was able to turn that culinary passion into Kristen’s Catering. She attributes her southern hospitality to her love for cooking. Currently a senior at LSU, Salles said she enjoys teaching others about nutrition and how to cook. She also loves a live audience when she’s creating dishes and said letting customers watch her cook the food serves as a teaching tool. “It’s really neat that I have the ability to teach them ways to become healthier,” Salles said. One distinct component of Kristen’s Catering is people can request specific meals for Salles to cook for them. Salles said she primarily cooks food on Sunday and delivers the cooked food on Monday. While the business is part-time, she said she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of eventually expanding the business. “If demand increases, I would love to have others working with me,” Salles said. In the future, she said she hopes to extend Kristen’s Catering to young athletes.
While attending Southern University, Simon said she finally embraced all her mother taught her about being original and bold. Simon’s sister Enika Wade said she provides the encouragement Simon needs to continue being bold. “I am really her supportive team,” Wade said. “I go to all of her events, and she’ll send me pictures of her work and ask what I think.” Wade said she is the person Simon goes through to make final decisions and make sure she’s on the right track.

For Hurricane Katrina’s anniversary last month, LSU poet and studio coordinator for Communication Across the Curriculum Vincent Cellucci asked to add a new layer to his poem “Causeway” to add a new layer to the experience, Allison said. Allison said for the reading, assistant professor at the school of art and the center for computation and technology Derick Ostrenko and Allison worked with Cellucci to create program which required the power of a supercomputer, allowing audience to interact with the poem on their phones as Cellucci read the poem. As the audience would tap the words on their device, different sounds would play in different locations in the theatre while the words would pop up on the projection. The poem will be performed again at Digital Divide on Thursday. “It becomes more than just the poem, but a performance where everyone takes part,” Allison said. “It’s kind of a sensory overload, but it works well with

Assistant professor for experimental music and digital media Jesse Allison tests his equipment for his faculty performance ‘Digital Divide’ scheduled Sept. 24 in the Digital Media Center Theatre. the poem.” The times when the program excels are when EMDM collaborates with others to create new and interesting experiences, Allison said. The program is available for nearly anyone who wants to be a part of it, both undergraduates and graduate students alike. And no matter what the goal, EMDM can help get them there. Most graduate students who join the program have a goal for what they want to accomplish, and EMDM helps them reach the goal, Allison said.
“If a student comes in as a composer, we show him or her the more technical computer science and performance aspects to help them build on their work, and vice versa,” Allison said. The undergraduate program in EMDM gives students an education base of music and technology, allowing them to move into whatever music or sound design field they want. It is a four-year Bachelor of Music degree involving different parts of sound design. One of the semesters lets students their own sound processors, composing original works
for them and presenting them at a concert. “Usually, students will come into the program to learn the base material and then specialize in what they really love,” Allison said. After learning the base material, the students will go into various specializations that focus on behind the scenes programming, such as movie or video game sound design; composing original works or the performance side of sonic art. EMDM offers a three-year doctorate program for students
who want to do research, make algorithms or create installations and offers the Digital Media minor for students with space for a minor if they are interested in an engineering track or arts track. Along with the program, the university offers a place for students to practice their craft. Allison said the digital media Center Theatre was created with the experimental music program in mind to allow students and faculty to create original pieces without compromise. The digital Media Center building was the result of 10 years of planning, and opened two years ago, he said. The theatre’s 92 speakers and an ultra-high definition 4K projection display gives the program the tools to make exactly what it wants, Allison said. Many projects created in EMDM are designed with the theatre in mind to take advantage of all of the space’s resources. “The theatre allows us to have, not only a high quality display at our disposal, but we can choose exactly where we want sound to go instead of faking where the sound is coming from,” Allison said. Thursday’s event will open with a laptop orchestra using eyetracking software named Vision Sight. Rather than singing themselves, the eye-tracking software will find where the performers look on their screens and produce vocals. There will also be pieces performed using iPad instruments created at LSU. Digital Divide starts at 7:30 p.m. and is free to the public.

cartoon by KIRÉ THOMAS / The Daily Reveille
‘I literally choose the worst time to start watching a show. Normally, it’s right before midterms or finals week, and I end up neglecting my school work in favor of an emotional roller coaster of a series.’
“I don’t own a TV, it’s all so basic,” said every yuppie at their first cocktail party post-1987. This phrase used to make a person the most sophisticated one in the room and let everyone know how much those years at college rubbed off. However, the coolest hipster-bro on the block now is the biggest couch potato. Nothing shoots a person to the top of the social ladder like being able to bashfully admit having access to Hulu, Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime, WatchESPN and any other streaming service with popular programs. Firing up the TV and letting countless hours pass with “Adventure Time,” “Game of Thrones,” “Scandal,”“House of Cards,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Louie” and other lesser-known shows can make previously made plans go up in smoke. Binge-watching is a form of escapism, as Netflix found “76% of TV streamers said watching several episodes at a time as a welcome refuge from the busy world we live in,” according to CinemaBlend. This escapism is so alluring because the stories, cinematography and actors that now light up the “small-screen” are stunning, deep and enrapturing. In days full of beeps, buzzes, rings and dings, it can be quite enjoyable to focus just on one screen and tune out the rest of the world.
Bingeing can be bittersweet bliss. The standard definition of binge-watching is sitting down and watching two or more episodes of a show in a row. According to a study completed at the University of Pittsburgh, “every hour spent sitting can increase the risk of developing the metabolic disorder [diabetes] by 3.4%.” If someone is a trooper and decides they have to get through a season in one day, in a regular 10-episode season, a person could increase the chance of developing diabetes by 30 percent. Sitting for hours on end watching TV can also influence other habits. Compulsive eating during TV time is related to significant weight gain. According to the National Weight Loss Control Registry, “most people who are able to both lose weight and keep it off watch less than 10 hours [of TV] per week.” There is even a link between bingewatching and depression. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin found those who admit to bingewatching are more likely to be depressed, experience loneliness at higher levels and have little to no impulse control. This makes sense to a degree, as a person staying home and avoiding life even before binge watching was a thing, would be at higher risk for depression and loneliness. Streaming services, hoping to keep people’s attention, employ auto-play features which require a person to physically stop watching a show. So, it’s important to note who is a true mindless binge-watcher and who just has the TV on. A new Golden Age of TV is upon us, and a new way of enjoying this Golden Age has become the norm. Moderation is a general rule of thumb, but moderation must also be taken in moderation. So, go enjoy your shows, Carpe Ludicrum (Seize the Show).

Winning election more important to Ben Carson than his roots MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS Columnist If you were looking for another reason to not support Ben Carson, the 2016 Republican presidential candidate, look no further. Unfortunately, he has jumped on the same immigration train as his competitor, Donald Trump. Carson is ready to put the border on lockdown, “I’m suggesting we do what we need to do to secure the border, whatever that is.” He said this not long after Trump announced his presidency, ensuring the American people that he would build a “great, great” wall along the southern border. Trump is polling first in the GOP presidential race, and it’s
arguably attributable to his extremely blunt immigrant related stances. Carson is beginning to make it well-known that generally speaking, he aligns with Trump regarding immigration reform. This is unsettling for numerous reasons. The more candidates aligning with Donald Trump on immigration creates more of a chance of having someone with outrageous immigration views elected as president. Trump and Carson’s stance on immigration, itself, is disturbing. Both candidates are in favor of a policy supporting mass deportation. Trump’s official campaign website says, “a nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.” Carson favors using drones to turn the southern border into a war zone, “There
are caves that they utilize. Those caves can be eliminated.” America is supposed to be a melting pot, the country where everyone is welcomed. In past centuries, millions of immigrants traveled through Ellis Island with the hope of living the American dream. As immigrants approached New York City, the plaque attached to the Statue of Liberty read “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” The plaque should still hold the same inviting message as it did before. It’s already hard to accept Trump’s immigration views, but it’s even more disturbing to see Carson take this stance over any
other candidates. The 14th Amendment was ratified in the 1800s and grants citizenship to all persons born in the United States — it was designed to grant citizenship to the freed slaves. After the Civil War ended, the 14th Amendment was the first step to ensuring equality in America. It was put in place to guarantee African-Americans civil rights. To this day, the 14th Amendment remains essential to securing voting rights for all people. Never should something like an election cause Carson to go against something rooted so deeply in his history. Carson is too busy trying to keep up in the polls, so he may not realize how puzzling and unsettling his statements are. You can’t trust a candidate who crosses such lines in an attempt to
be victorious. According to a Gallup poll, only two percent of black people identify as Republican. Maybe because he thinks he is more likely to gain support than lose it he could take such a stance. He doesn’t appear to understand it’s hard to respect a man that doesn’t stand true to their history, regardless of political affiliation. He is taking a big gamble. He may, like Trump, gain some supporters because of his stance or he could very well lose some when people realize how insane he is for holding such odd views. It’s time for Carson to take a logical stance, instead of hopping on the bandwagon of his fellow GOP candidates. Clarke Perkins is a 19-year-old political science sophomore from New Orleans.

Ryan Adams’ ‘1989’ cover album legitimizes Swift’s success INFRANGIBLE ICON john gavin harp Columnist I never thought listening to a Taylor Swift song would make me want to do a line of cocaine and tease my hair like an ’80s rock star, yet that’s how I feel after listening to songs on Ryan Adams’ “1989” cover album. When indie Internet chatter lit up with whispers in early August that Alt-Country songwriter Ryan Adams may release a tribute LP to Taylor Swift’s “1989,” Swift herself tweeted Adams to get confirmation. “Is this true??????? I WILL PASS OUT,” Swift tweeted at Adams on Aug. 6. While the indie music community was reluctant, Swift’s fan base, myself included, wondered, “Who the hell is Ryan Adams and why is he covering bae’s masterpiece?” A thorough Google search revealed Adams is a former member of Alt-Country band Whiskeytown with an acclaimed solo career. Adams is also a poet, a painter and suffers from Meniere’s disease, so he’s basically the king of hipsters. In mainstream pop culture, Adams’ biggest takeaway is his recent divorce to Mandy Moore. Given his hipster credentials, it’s baffling Adams would want to
cover Swift’s “1989.” He says it’s because he’s a fan of her songwriting and “badass tunes.” As a fan, I concur with Adams’ opinion. Swift was, and still is, a rock critic’s darling. Rolling Stone recently ranked her at 97 on its “100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time” list, the youngest person on the list. At 20-years-old, she became the youngest winner of the coveted “Album of the Year” at the 2010 Grammys for her album “Fearless,” which was written and recorded when Swift was just 17 and 18 years old. Even though Swift’s music has the support of critics, her well-documented personal life often overshadows her songwriting for a lot of general listeners outside her fan base. The typical alpha male equating Swift to a psycho ex-girlfriend is a commonplace comparison, thanks to Swift’s long list of ex-lovers. When Swift releases a new album, a guessing game of who each song is about comes with it. Swift practically encourages this by hiding secret messages within the album’s lyrics for fans to decode. Swift, whether she cares to admit it, turned her personal life into a multi-million-dollar business and a national pastime. This is unfortunate because underneath it all, she truly is a skilled songwriter. How many songwriters thought to describe being a

twentysomething as “happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time?” “It’s miserable and magical,” Swift sang on her 2013 hit “22.” Swift’s celebrity is why many don’t take her and her music seriously. Which sucks, because she has an uncanny ability to describe feelings everyone feels yet don’t know how to express. Adams is removing all tabloid baggage that accompanies a Swift record by removing Swift. No one wonders if Adams’ version of “Style” is about Harry Styles. Adams replaces many of Swift’s soaring, anthemic choruses with intimate, guitarridden affairs. For example, Swift’s version of “Blank Space” was a snarky way of addressing her tabloid persona and accusations of her being boy crazy. Adams’ version is a bittersweet, melancholic tale of longing. Adams lets Swift’s songwriting shine through in a new light by scaling back on the pop production throughout the album. This is perfectly showcased on Adams’ take of “Out of the Woods.” While Swift’s version paired with ’80s synths and urgentsounding production, Adams’ version peels back the layers and puts the lyrics first. “Remember when we couldn’t take the heat? I walked out and said I was setting you free,” he croons over guitar

As a whole, Adams’ “1989” brings forth an array of emotions which contrast to how Swift’s original versions made me feel. “Out of the Woods” makes me want to cry. “Style” makes me want to tease my bangs and headbang along. “I Know Places” makes me want to have an affair with a sexy spy. I thought I loved Swift’s “1989,” but after listening to Adams’ version, I love his more. And that’s OK. Thanks to Adams, an entirely new audience will be able to appreciate the songwriting of one of my favorite artists. Taking Swift out of “1989” opens a

superb record to listeners who refuse to acknowledge Swift’s talents. Just because Swift isn’t the person singing the songs doesn’t mean it’s difficult to discern they are her songs. The line “You’re still all over me like a wine stained shirt I can’t wear anymore,” from closing track “Clean” pretty much sums it up. A Swift-less Swift album is the best thing to happen to her career. John Gavin Harp is a 20-yearold mass communication Junior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.

CLINTON, from page 1 budget with a surplus of funding and millions of new jobs. “When we just look at the facts, things work better when there’s a Democrat in the White House,” Clinton said. She also attacked the expansive GOP field of presidential candidates, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who has been kept out of prime-time debates so far because of his low-ranking poll numbers. “Your governor turned away federal dollars that would have paid to expand Medicaid,” Clinton said. “He put ideology ahead of the well-being of people and families in this state.” Clinton criticized the recent three-hour GOP debate featuring leading Republican candidates. She said none of them discussed important issues, such as college affordability, equal pay for equal work and childcare. She returned to the issue of health care throughout her speech, reiterating her support for the Affordable Care Act and berating Republican presidential candidates who aim to repeal it. “I’m not gonna let them tear up that law,” she said. “Not on my watch.” She said Jindal’s refusal to expand Medicaid cost Louisiana thousands of jobs and contributed to racial inequality, as half of the people who are unable to get health insurance are ethnic minorities. Clinton received applause from the largely African-American crowd when she touched on racial injustice. “We need to say, loudly and clearly, black lives matter,” Clinton said. She said race plays a significant role in determining who gets ahead in the United States and pointed to systematic problems in the criminal justice system. She added Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the country and said criminal justice reform would be a priority of her presidency. Clinton reflected on her lowincome background, growing up with a mother who worked as a maid. She said her mother sometimes received her only meal of the day from a generous firstgrade teacher who would share with her. Clinton said her mission in the White House would be to pull middle and low-income families up and increase stagnant wage growth. “I believe in America,” Clinton said. “If you work hard and do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead.” She said wages are staying low, but the costs of college and living expenses are rising — factors caused by republican leadership. Teachers are struggling to educate students who are too hungry to learn, she said. “In this election we have to remember what works, and be ready to call out those who want to go back to failed economic policy,” Clinton said.
