LSU Museum of Art honors prolific painter with ‘Hunt Slonem: Antebellum Pop!’ BY LAUREN HEFFKER | @laurheffker photos by GRETA JINES / The Daily Reveille
E
ven the wackiest and quirkiest of art fans will not be expecting the LSU Museum of Art’s newest exhibit, “Hunt Slonem: Antebellum Pop!” The show is the first full-scale museum exhibition to display not only Slonem’s work, but a recreation of his home, which is characterized by bright colors and classic Antebellum style. Slonem’s expressionist work is displayed throughout the walls, curtains, upholstery and wallpaper of the galleries. The exhibition opens April 22 and will be on display until August 5.
The exhibition curator, Sarah Clunis, also curated the museum’s contemporary gallery in the recent reinstallation of “Art in Louisiana: Views into the Collection,” and the Haitian exhibit, “The Carnival, the City and the Sea.” “The idea was to recreate a home of his,” Clunis said. “Every inch of this exposition is really him — it’s not just the paintings on the walls, it’s the wallpaper and the upholstery.” Slonem’s style of painting is based largely off of his colorful imagination. Repetition is a common theme in his work, especially of
birds, butterflies and rabbits. Slonem has two estates in Louisiana. After the exhibit was planned last summer, Clunis spent the season with the prolific painter in order to better understand his state of mind when she was curating the exhibit. “That was really important for me, because I was able to get a real feel for his style,” she said. Clunis said acquiring the featured aspects of the exhibit was a collaboration from a number of different entities. Many of the pieces in the exhibit are loans from Louisiana
Students on Louisiana’s college campuses — historically some of the least engaged in the voting process — may soon be able to vote using student IDs if a bill that sailed through a House panel Wednesday becomes law. Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler, who supports the measure, said 85 percent of eligible voters are registered, but only around 60 percent of young adults are. “There’s a reason why candidates aren’t coming to campus,” LSU President F. King Alexander said in an interview. “Students don’t give money to campaigns. They can’t. They don’t have any money. And they don’t vote in large numbers. If we can change the latter we’ll get more attention from the candidates.” Alexander suggested the reason education funding is cut perennially in the state is due in part to students’ lack of engagement with the political process, and said he’s working on getting voting precincts in the Student Union before the elections this fall. The idea for the eligible ID

Military officers visit Law Center, discuss national security BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano Four military officers gathered in the Paul M. Hebert Law Center Wednesday to discuss national security issues with an audience of roughly twenty students, professors and members of the public. The officers are members of the U.S. Army War College’s Eisenhower Series College Program, an outreach program aimed at increasing public awareness of
the military and its role in national security. The program began in 1969 and is offered at no cost as an educational outreach program, according to information from the Law Center. For the past six years, the program has visited the University and area high schools to connect with the Louisiana public. Harry J. “Skip” Philips, an adjunct professor at the Law Center and Army War College graduate, said the program is a learning opportunity for both the officers and
the public. While the public gains insight into complex national security issues, the officers are able to assess public sentiment and incorporate their findings into their approaches to leadership, he said. “It’s important to understand that we’ve got people leading our military who are thinking about these things,” Philips said. “We’re training our military leaders to think very broadly and think very strategically.

All of the linens and antiques used in the display were extremely valuable. Clunis said everything was top drawer throughout the exhibition. Slonem will attend the opening of the exhibit and give a lecture at the museum on April 21 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Clunis said the project was on a grander scale than anything she had ever done. Each piece presented a challenge she worked through, especially adhering to the artist’s particular style so the exhibition would be as accurate as possible. “I had to really try to imagine what he would want and stay true to the museum’s best practices because there’s things we have to do according to museum standards,” she said. Though it turned out differently than she imagined, at the end of

the day Clunis said she is satisfied with the result. “He is a magician. He’s able to turn everything he touches into a beautiful, beautiful creation, and I would love that people could absorb that and feel a little bit like what it is to be him, because he’s not like the rest of us,” Clunis said. “I want them to have that kind of joy that I get and most people get when they look at his work.” Clunis said she loves Slonem’s work because it takes her out of her world, into an “Alice in Wonderland” playful fantasy world.
Thursday, April 22, 2016
Clunis wants museum goers to be surprised and happy with the boldness and whimsicality of the exhibition. She wants to bring out the inner child in everyone, as Slonem represents that to her. “I get liberated by his work, by his color choices, by his style. If we can leave this exhibition a little bit freer in the way we choose color, and the way we choose fabric and the way we look at the world,” the curator said. “We all have this kind of freedom inside of us to be able to create work that talks about our spirit, and he is very spiritual.”

Outside of national security issues, the officers also expressed a commitment to engaging the public. Lieutenant Colonel Antonio M. Paz, a 22-year service member serving in the Army’s psychological operations division, said a gap is developing between the civil population and military service members. “It’s crucial the public understand who we are, what we’re about, what we do on behalf of our society,” Paz said. “We have to continue the dialogue so that we can educate as many people as we can.” Air Force Colonel Lance D. Clark, a faculty adviser for the Eisenhower Series College Program, agreed with Paz. Since the

originated around a year ago at the University with Student Government Senator Jacques Petit and a student organization called Geaux Vote LSU. Schedler and Rep. Randal Gaines, D-Laplace, who is carrying the bill, threw their support behind it once it became legislation. The measure received nothing but approval from the House Education Committee. “Students already have IDs,” said Petit, an economics and political communication junior. “Let’s make it easier for them to use it.” Students from Geaux Vote LSU also testified in support of the bill. Currently, an ID must have a signature and photo to be an
military switched to volunteer service in the 1970s, less than 1 percent of Americans serve in the military, he said. Today, military service is largely a family business, in which children raised in military families, like himself, often join the service. Closing the growing gap between civilians and the military is important for the military and the nation’s future, Clark said. “As a military we are a cross section of society, we draw from society in order to allow the military to survive,” Clark said. “With less than 1 percent being in the military, we’re becoming increasingly polarized, and that’s something that can’t happen if we’re going to be successful as a military, or if we’re going to be successful as a nation.” Paz and Clark were joined by Colonel Nicholas F. Lancaster and Lieutenant Colonel Tom Asbery. After graduating from the Army War College in the coming months, the four men will assume leadership positions in various capacities in Washington D.C., California, Kuwait and Afghanistan, respectively. acceptable voting ID. Student IDs generally have a photo only. “We all have seen what’s happening across the country with a down slide in [voter] participation,” said Schedler, who has been eyeing apps, iPads and student IDs to get more people voting. Alexander estimated the cost of new LSU student IDs at around $34,000, which he said the University could find. Rep. Beryl Amedee, R-Houma, brought up potential confusion among students at private colleges, whose IDs would still not be eligible to act as voting identification. “You could just require any institution in the state that gets TOPS to do it,” Alexander responded.

RAIN CHECK
Kirby returns to LSU as assistant
BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR
JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
The LSU softball and baseball teams both got late starts last night after being plagued by heavy rain and lightning late in the evening. The softball game had already been pushed back after the Tigers’ opponents, Northwestern State, blew a tire on their way to Baton Rouge. Sophomore pitcher Allie Walljasper started strong from the mound, and both teams entered the weather delay scoreless. LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri started right-hander Doug Norman against the Southeastern Louisiana Lions. Officials halted the game around 7:45 p.m. and resumed play at 10 p.m. Check out the recaps and final scores for both games at

Former LSU associate head coach Robert Kirby will return to Baton Rouge for the 2016-17 season to assume the same position, LSU announced Wednesday afternoon. “I’m very happy to be back in Tigerland,” Kirby said on Wednesday in a press release. “I am looking forward to joining up again and continuing my relationship with [LSU] coach [Johnny] Jones and working with the staff at LSU to build on the tradition and legacy of the LSU basketball program.” Kirby, who was previously on Jones’ staff in 2012-13, will re-join the Tigers after a three-year stint (61-39 record) at Memphis as an assistant. The Tigers’ 2012-13 team — in Kirby’s only season — produced a 19-12 record, including an even 9-9 clip against Southeastern Conference opponents. Kirby will replace former LSU associate head coach and now-TCU assistant David Patrick. “We are thrilled to have Coach Kirby back as a part of our program,” Jones said. “He was a tremendous asset to our staff. On the recruiting front, he helped us sign a top-rated class (for 2013-14) and a part of that group would wind up playing a major role on the NCAA Tournament team in 2015 in Jarell Martin and Jordan Mickey.” Kirby, who has spent nearly 31 years as a coach in Division I collegiate basketball, is known as one of the nation’s “top recruiters,” according to Rivals.com.

Tigers, Lady Tigers begin battle for SEC Championship BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR
While the 14 flags of Southeastern Conference schools decorate the entrance of LSU’s Tennis Complex, the eighth-seeded Lady Tigers look ahead at their competitors as they are set to take on No. 9 Kentucky at 2 p.m. today in the second round of the SEC Championship. For LSU (17-10, 6-7 SEC), the matchup brings up positive memories from five weeks ago. The team battled to a 4-3 victory on the Wildcats’ (17-8, 6-7 SEC) home court. After the Lady Tigers lost
the doubles point and tied the score 3-3 through strong singles play, senior Skylar Kuykendall managed to overcome a 3-0 deficit in the third set to decide a tremendously tight match. Today’s matchup is different in all aspects. “We’ve played a lot more matches and are a lot more mature,” said LSU co-head coach Julia Sell. “We’ve changed our doubles around a little bit and are an improved team since. I know Kentucky has a different lineup in too, so it’s like playing a brand new match.” Still, the key remains the same: outcompete the player
across the net. Sell said it was different last time and will remain important in the SEC Championships’ upcoming matches. LSU will look to avoid an issue it has struggled with all season in tentative doubles play throughout the weekend. Slow starts have been harming the team frequently, as seven matches this season were decided by one point. Now, with the regular season’s pressure not playing a role, Kuykendall said the team feels more relaxed and will fight to

Jazz Fest the right way A survival guide — emphasizing sunscreen, shoes and stages — to make the most of your time at Jazz Fest BY ALLIE COBB | @alliecobbler
Walk this way There are 12 stages and tents, so you’ll be doing more than your fair share of walking around. Wear comfortable shoes. Sandals might look cute, but fail to offer protection. Lightweight boots or sneakers, like Converse, might be your best bet. Socks are a good idea because they not only absorb sweat, but also cushion the feet.
Paul Simon, Nick Jonas, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Snoop Dogg make up only a small part of the lineup for New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, one of the country’s most diverse music festivals. The 47th annual Jazz Fest, held on two consecutive weekends, kicks off April 22 and continues until May 1. Celebrating the indigenous music and culture of Louisiana, the festival includes blues, jazz, folk, rap, country and everything in between.
Five finger discount Follow the long-standing rule that if something doesn’t fit in your pocket, you don’t need it. While the festival is mainly positive, sticky fingers are always at work. Don’t tempt them.
Follow this survival guide to make the most of your time at Jazz Fest. Acting shady
Hello sunshine
It doesn’t matter if they’re aviators, Wayfarers, or Clubmasters. Sunglasses are a must. If you’ve got ‘em, wear ‘em.
Check the weather before heading out. Louisiana weather is unpredictable, and it’s always best to be prepared. Bring a windbreaker or poncho in case of rain. The unofficial Jazz Fest uniform is a loose fitting top and shorts. But the nicer the weather, the more festival-goers dress up. The most important thing, however, is to stay cool and comfortable.
Less waiting is more To avoid the dreaded lines, try going for food at a less popular time. Lines seem to be shorter between 2-4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to closing time. Tempting as it may be, stick to small servings. Use moderation everywhere except in hydration and sunscreen.
Meetup The average attendance for Jazz Fest is well over 400,000. Totems and flags serve as landmarks in the search to find your friends in the crowd.
Smaller surprises
SPF protection Don’t be that person who claims to never burn, but ends up looking like a lobster the next day. Bring along plenty of sunblock, at least SPF 15, and reapply throughout the day.

Hill Memorial Library display explores Jazz Fest’s past BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker
A little taste of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has come to the University. “Jazz Fest 101: A Showcase of Student Oral History Research,” is the newest exhibit at Hill Memorial Library. It features student interviews with the people that make the festival possible. The project began in 2011, when the University’s Department of Geography and Anthropology and the LSU Libraries’ T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History partnered with the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation Archive. Helen Regis, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University, and Jennifer Cramer, Director of the T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History, cotaught the course which required
students to do extensive oral history research. Anthropology 4909 is a service-learning course and undergraduate seminar. “It’s a really good hands-on experience, what it’s like to do research where your product is going to be part of a public record,” Regis said. “I think that’s really important — when you get to see how the parts you’re working on fit into a larger whole.” Regis collaborated with the Nicholls State University Department of Languages and Literature to come up with the student directed assignment. Each person interviewed comes from a different aspect of the festival, including stage constructors, artists, food and craft vendors, musicians and volunteers. The participants are usually behind the scenes contributors, people who have given their lifeblood to the festival, Cramer said.
Regis said that they wanted the students to focus on people who aren’t usually interviewed, drawing on the social relationships and work that bring the festival to life. “They wanted to capture the evolution of the festival from the people who were able to tell the stories,” Cramer said. “Students have been extremely instrumental in getting that content out and available.” The students learned about the roots of Jazz Fest from firsthand accounts, including its origin at Congo Square and its involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. The project is a collection of 37 interviews conducted by students over the past several years. This year is its first time being displayed for public use, coinciding with LSU Discover Day and Jazz Fest. The exhibition is presented in Hill Memorial Library’s lecture
hall, with a digital interactive platform for browsers to listen to each interview and see accompanying photos. The research took the entire semester for students. They chose their subject, and conducted one to two interviews around two hours each. They not only learned about their interviewee’s role in the festival, but their entire background and how that led them there. “The whole point was that this class was the center. We’re really trying to work with undergraduates to give them the experience to conduct qualitative research,” Cramer said. At the end of the project, the students in the class get to attend one day of Jazz Fest, as a part of the University’s relationship with the festival. “It’s really valuable for the LSU community to see the humanities at work,” Regis said.

Proposed student ID bill good for University’s future BEYER’S REMORSE
MICHAEL BEYER @michbeyer The state legislature is finally is doing something good for its students. Yesterday morning, a bill to expand students’ access to voting passed unanimously out of committee. Under this bill, college IDs would have to follow state voter ID requirements. Currently, you can’t use your student ID to vote because there is no signature on it. But, Rep. Gaines, D-LaPlace, and advocates from Geaux Vote LSU and Student Government are seeking to change that. “Students already have IDs,” Jacques Petit, an economics and mass communication junior previously told The Daily Reveille. “Let’s make it easier for them to use it.” Republican Secretary of State Tom Schedler also supports the idea because it could lead to an increase in turnout among younger voters. Schedler said 85 percent of eligible voters
are registered, but only about 60 percent of young voters are. This contributes to the abysmal election turnout among young people. According to an analysis by mass communication senior and Fulbright scholar Valencia Richardson using the secretary of state’s voting records, only around 18 percent of people aged 18 to 34 voted in the 2015 gubernatorial jungle primary. Richardson is the editor in chief of the Gumbo yearbook. Maybe low turnout is a result of politicians not properly engaging young people in the political process. Low turnout is also probably a result of the voting barriers students face. “Voting tends to be very time-consuming,” Richardson told Dig Baton Rouge. “It’s a lot of steps, especially if you are a college student, if you’re an outof-state or even if you are an out of region student. The extra steps that it takes to even register to vote, and then to go and vote, creates a lot of barriers.” If student IDs become an acceptable form of voter ID, maybe

more students will register and vote. When more students vote, they are able to hold our elected leaders accountable for gutting LSU over the past seven years. “There’s a reason why candidates aren’t coming to campus,” LSU System President F. King Alexander said in an interview with The Daily Reveille. “Students don’t give money to campaigns. They can’t. They don’t have any money. And they don’t vote in large numbers. If we can change the latter we’ll get more attention from the candidates.” Allowing students to use their IDs to vote could eliminate one of the barriers against participating in the electoral process, but we need to take more steps to simplify the voting process for students. We need to educate students on candidates’ positions on issues affecting them and provide transportation to and from their polling stations. The University represents the largest college voting bloc in the state, with 20,000 students eligible to vote on campus according to Richardson. If students voted in every election,

maybe legislators wouldn’t even consider cutting TOPS, maintaining low levels of need-based aid or slashing LSU’s budget. Students have a lot at stake, especially during this time of a seemingly never-ending budget crisis. Making it easier for students to use their voice in the political process could help bring an end to this era.
Congratulations to all of the students, faculty and administrators involved in this effort to make voting more accessible for students. Hopefully this bill sails through the House and Senate in the coming weeks. Michael Beyer is a 22-year-old political science senior from New Orleans, Louisiana.
