With the seemingly constant construction throughout campus this semester, Facility Services is striving to improve student accessibility and safety.

Nicholson Hall windows The windows in Nicholson Hall are being replaced and are scheduled for completion by October.

Nicholson Hall is the only building in the Quad to still have the original windows from its construction in 1937.

Allen Hall elevator The elevator in Allen Hall is being replaced to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations.

The white Visqueen plastic sheeting hanging throughout the building is used to minimize dust during construction.

The elevator’s projected completion is in November or December, allowing student access beginning in the spring.

Fieldhouse Drive traffic circle Workers recently finished extending and widening the sidewalk on the east side of the traffic circle. It is now connected around the perimeter of the parking lot, where there were previously gaps.

Landscape work is ongoing between the street and the sidewalk on the east side of the traffic circle and is projected to be finished in the next two weeks.

In the next phase of construction, the circle in the middle of the roundabout will be made smaller to make turns easier for trucks, and the bus stops will be extended. information from Roger Husser, director of Planning, Design and Construction for Facility Services, and Tammy Millican, assistant director of Facility Services politics

Gov. candidates talk higher ed solutions BY sam karlin @samkarlin Student moderators posed questions to three of the four Louisiana gubernatorial candidates Wednesday night, addressing issues related to education, infrastructure and the economy.

Republican Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, Republican Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards squared off at the historic Columbia Theatre in downtown Hammond.

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., did not participate.

Student moderator Alexis Quackenbush kicked off the forum

by asking what each candidate would do to solve the $20 million budget deficit the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students faces.

Edwards addressed the TOPS shortfall by saying the “doubledigit increases” in tuition are what run up the costs of TOPS. The program started as a $60 million program and ballooned to its current $280 million budget over years of tuition increases, he said.

Dardenne and Angelle both said TOPS would remain a priority if they became governor.

Bowling For Soup talk upcoming Baton Rouge show, future plans

BY ASHLYN ROLLINS @ash_r96 Grammy-nominated Bowling For Soup formed in 199, and now, 20 years later, the group is still active on the music scene, playing its current “Finally Legal!!” tour. The Daily Reveille sat down with lead singer Jaret Reddick to discuss its current projects and upcoming Sept. 6 show with Cody Canada & the Departed at Lava Cantina in Perkins Rowe.

The Daily Reveille: What have you been working on most recently?

Jaret Reddick: We recorded a couple of shows live about a year ago in England, so I’m finishing up a DVD and CD of an acoustic performance that we did and also a full band show. So we’ll hopefully have a couple of new DVDs out next year.

TDR: What’s your favorite part about coming to Baton Rouge?

JR: We’ve just always had a really good time, and I can’t say that we’ve really gotten to spend a lot of time in Baton Rouge, but we definitely love the people and the culture. I’m really looking forward to this show because we’ll get in the day of the first home game--and being a sports fan--I just love that vibe. I’m excited to be there and get to be a part of that.

TDR: You have a greatest hits album out now called “Songs People Actually Liked.”

What was the motivation behind compiling that album and re-recording the songs?

JR: We left everything pretty much intact and kept the integrity of the songs the same.

Some of those songs were originally written and recorded 20 years ago, so many things have changed technology wise and obviously our playing and singing is quite a bit better than it was. It was a really fun thing to go back and sort of hear those songs the way that they would sound now, and it made it a really nice, listenable album rather than it being a mixture of really old-sounding songs. It was fun to put them all together as a collection, and it came out really good.

TDR: You included one brand new song. Do you think you’ll write more songs, or make a completely new album in the future?

JR: It’s “20 Years (That’s A Lot of Beers),” and that song is sort of an updated version, but not really, of a song called “Friends O’ Mine” that I wrote for the band a few years back.

That one is a fan favorite and a band favorite, and I wrote it about our experiences up until that point. So this one was kind of an added piece to that, just summing up the whole 20 years of us being together and still at it.

JR: Probably “Girl All The Bad Guys Want.” That’s kind of our first really big hit, and it’s that one song that even if you don’t know if you know our band, when you hear us play that song, it’s like, “Oh it’s those guys!”

TDR: Most bands break up after a few years. How have you been able to stay together?

JR: Really, it’s about knowing your role in the band and knowing that the band is a sum of its parts, and without each of us,

it wouldn’t be possible to even do what we do. Everybody is equally important, even if some of us get more attention than the others. I think that’s super important to just understand that and knowing when to push each other’s buttons and when to give each other a hug. That’s how we operate, and it seems to still be working. We’re still best friends.

TDR: What’s the best touring memory you have?

JR: I think my favorite story still is when we went to England for the first time back in 2000.

We were just kind of rolling around and just being in London in the first place was like, “Holy crap I can’t believe we’re here.” You know, you take it all in thinking you’re never going to be here again and we walked into a Virgin Records megastore and we had our own endcap. It was this huge display of our album, and it was in the top 20 sellers in the place. We had no idea that was even a thing. I just remember our faces at the time and just sitting there. Us looking at that was like everybody else looking at Westminister Abbey. I think we stared at it for 15 minutes.

TDR: What’s a little known fact about the band?

JR: Probably what our musical tastes are. We pretty much listen to a lot of old country, rather than things within our own genre or even remotely influential as to what we do as a band. [They] are very much not in the vain of Bowling For Soup.

Do you support Planned Parenthood in Louisiana?

Federal judge John W. deGravelles held off yesterday on ruling whether Gov. Bobby Jindal could legally halt funding to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. Jindal announced in early August that Louisiana would terminate its Medicaid contract with the organization following the release of several controversial videos by an anti-abortion group. Planned Parenthood has two health centers in Louisiana — one in Baton Rouge and one in New Orleans. compiled by KEVIN MINER @KevinMinerTDR

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

Arlington Cottages and Townhomes leasing units to students

BY CAITIE BURKES @BurkesTDR After breaking ground in the spring, the Arlington Cottages and Townhomes are now leasing housing units for prospective fall 2016 residents.

The student housing complex made its leasing announcement in the wake of The Standard’s construction delays, which have displaced some students to hotel rooms for the first few weeks of classes until their rooms are ready.

However, Cody Bodin, director of leasing and marketing for

Arlington, said the complex is well underway with its construction and currently on schedule. Arlington is slated to open August 2016, he said.

Arlington Cottages consists of three-, four- and five-person cottages and townhomes on 550 Ben Hur Drive. A company affiliated with Capstone Collegiate Communities, the same group that developed the Cottages of Baton Rouge, bought the 20.5 acres of land for $7 million in May. Rumors circulated on Facebook during the first week of school that Arlington would seek out primarily members of LSU

Greek Life to fill its cottages.

Bodin dismissed the notion and said Arlington will cater to all students from LSU, Southern University and Baton Rouge Community College.

However, Bodin said Arlington finds its community is conducive to Greek Life because brothers and sisters who do not live in their chapter houses are able to live next door to one another.

“We’ve had great success at other universities around the country with allowing groups of Greek life ... to pick their row of houses and even name them,” Bodin said.

Each of the 179 units will be either two or three stories, Bodin said, and each of the 732 beds will have its own bathroom and walk-in closet.

Each unit will be equipped with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Cable channels, Internet access, washers and dryers are also provided.

“We feel as though this specific product is something that students will really enjoy because they will have the luxury of living in their own house with no neighbors above or below them,” Bodin said.

The student apartment complex will contain amenity packages, including a 24-hour clubhouse with a fully stocked game room. The clubhouse is made up of multiple study rooms, a fully equipped cardio and weight room, tanning beds, a grand hall for group study sessions and a spin room.

Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool with cabanas, a sand volleyball court, outdoor gathering areas and a pet-washing station.

“There will be a great balance of academics versus the social side,” Bodin said.

Junior forward Summer Clarke leads the soccer team in her third season

BY MARIO JEREZ | @mjerezIII_TDR It’s been a long road for LSU junior forward Summer Clarke.

Clarke grew up more than 2,700 miles away from Baton Rouge in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Entering her third season at LSU, SHE is one of the Tigers’ most decorated players and a key factor to the veteran team’s attempt to reach its first NCAA tournament since 2011.

She became fascinated by soccer at a young age, she said.

Her father, Clive, was very passionate about the game and always pushed Summer and her older brother, Caleb, to play as soon as they were old enough.

Clive coached both Caleb and Summer throughout their childhoods. Caleb now plays professionally for the

Saints fans, prepare yourselves. It’s going to be another long season.

With a defense that looks as porous as it was in 2014 and an aging Drew Brees being expected to do as much (or more) with fewer weapons, there’s not much hope for 2015.

The Saints defense was abysmal last season. Only the Atlanta Falcons gave up more yards (6,372) than the Saints (6,144), which might have led to the first time in recorded history Saints fans appreciated the Falcons for something.

The defense wasn’t exactly of the “bend but don’t break” variety either. The Saints allowed 26.5 points per game, which was 28th in the league.

Fast forward to Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the Houston Texans, and it appears the defense hasn’t progressed much at all.

Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer only played a few series, but he made them count. Hoyer picked apart the Saints’ secondary on a seven-play, 80-yard touchdown drive on the Texans’ first possession of the game.

Twice he targeted wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who was working against cornerback Keenan Lewis, resulting

FOOTBALL

Defensive linemen embracing NFL-caliber tradition

BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR

Most fans associate defense during the Les Miles’ era with the reign of “Defensive Back University,” highlighted by Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu and Morris Claiborne.

But a less glamorous position group has thrived during the past decade: the defensive line.

For the last 12 years, the Tigers have had a least one defensive lineman drafted, including first round picks Glenn Dorsey, Michael Brockers and Barkevious Mingo.

Despite the constant turnover, LSU’s defensive line remained consistent by

adjusting to new roles and taking advantage of every opportunity.

“It’s a blessing,” said junior defensive end Lewis Neal. “Everyone knows that when you come to LSU, it’s a possibility of you playing early because somebody is going to go the league. We already knew we needed to play big roles early, so when that happens we are ready.”

The roots of this mentality stem from the beginning of Miles’ tenure with the success of Dorsey from 2004 to 2007.

After rotating behind two All-American tackles during his sophomore year, Dorsey stepped into the spotlight recording 64 tackles, including

8.5 tackles for loss and three sacks in 2006.

Dorsey became the most decorated defensive player in program history when he brought the Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award, Nagurski Award and the Lott Trophy back to Baton Rouge in 2007.

Three years after Dorsey was drafted fifth overall, Brockers followed in Dorsey’s footsteps by becoming the second defensive lineman taken in the first round under Miles.

In 2011 and 2012, Mingo and Sam Montgomery emerged as one of the top defensive end duos in country for the Tigers.

The pair combined for 17

Sophomore Freund settled in at LSU, ready for next season

BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR Swedish sophomore tennis player Simon Freund spent his freshman year adjusting to American culture and college tennis, but he carries heavier expectations on his shoulders this season.

The International Tennis Federation ranked Freund as No. 110 in juniors before his collegiate career, after finishing with a singles record of 42-17 and a doubles record of 23-16.

At LSU, he competed in all but five competitions, finished with a singles record of 16-12 and showed important late-game qualities when he advanced to the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals.

“The biggest difference is the competitiveness and level of other players here in the U.S.,” Freund said. “We also practice much harder and more frequently than in Sweden. We would usually practice about 15 hours a week, while here at LSU, we practice for at least 20 hours a week and have open practice after every session.”

International student-athletes from northern Europe encounter more than a culture shock when coming to LSU — they face a humidity shock as well.

Swedish weather forced Freund to practice more on inside courts, while LSU mainly

“I would look like I took a bath 30 minutes into practice,” Freund said. “You just have to get used to it. In worst cases, it helps thinking about that my opponent is just as tired as I am, if not more.”

Coach Jeff Brown also

mentioned the influence climate had on Freund’s freshman year, but he assured it would not be as big of a transition for him this year because Freund knew what to expect.

With the start of his sophomore year, Freund said he is ready for the season and looks to improve his role on the team.

“I spent my freshman year

focused on learning from my teammates and getting used to college tennis, but I feel ready to take on some leadership and help new players both on and off the court, now,” Freund said. “I think some responsibility would definitely help my development both as a person and as a player, too.”

With three seniors and two

juniors on the team, Freund said he wants to gain as much knowledge from them as possible until it’s his time to follow in their veteran footsteps.

The coaching staff is on the same page, expecting continued growth and rewards for his hard work.

“Simon is very unique,” Brown said. “His physical skills come from different places. He has a gymnastic background, which gives him advantages in tennis when it comes to flexibility and athleticism. He also developed greatly throughout his freshman year and came up with some really big wins for us. I can see that he is settled in. Nothing is new to him anymore.”

The team’s goal is to be ranked 16th by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.

Freund said he believes they have the potential to be in the top 10, but he does not want to be too optimistic after last year’s disappointing season.

“I have big expectations,” Freund said. “We have a good team, and I feel in good shape. I am excited for the season.”

CROSS COUNTRY

Schuetz sets sights high on nationals for her senior year

BY HEATHER ALLEN @Hallen_TDR

As LSU senior runner Morgan Schuetz prepares for her final cross country season, it doesn’t seem like long ago when she was a fifth-grader trying to figure out what she was good at.

“We had a physical fitness test, and I stunk at everything else,” Schuetz said. “Then we had the mile, and I thought I’d be pretty good at it and ended up beating most of the boys.”

Schuetz quickly caught the eye of cross country coaches and began running competitively in sixth grade. She continued running throughout high school, earning three-straight 1,600 and 3,200-meter Class 3A state titles and two 800-meter 3A state titles.

As the top distance prospect in the state for the class of 2012, LSU always was the first choice for Schuetz.

“My family has always been huge LSU fans,” Schuetz said.

“I’ve always wanted to run for LSU, so I did all I could to be good enough for the team. I really wasn’t fast in high school, so I was just hoping to be good enough to run at LSU.”

As the only freshman runner on the cross country team in 2012, Schuetz proved she was more than good enough. She placed in the top 30 twice in her freshman season, placing as high as 24th at the LSU Invitational, where she clocked her season-best 6k at 24:01.4.

Schuetz improved even further her sophomore season, earning another top 30 finish and the honor of LSU Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Year. In 2014, Schuetz had four more top 30 finishes, including first place at the LSU Invitational.

Despite all of those accomplishments, Schuetz said her favorite moment from her career came during a home track meet last year.

“I was just really relaxed, which isn’t normal for me because I’m normally very, very nervous,” Schuetz said. “I was running against some really good girls and this awesome girl, who has become kind of my archrival. It was the only time I beat her, unfortunately. But I beat her, and that’s where my personal record for the 800 is.”

Between setting records and beating archrivals, Schuetz

said she hopes to be better this season than she ever has before.

In order to keep improving, Schuetz said she wants to have the right mentality, which requires believing in herself.

“I still don’t think I’m that fast,” Schuetz said. “I still forget that I’ve been to nationals.

Wrapping my head around the thought that I’m good, I’m one of the best, I have to start thinking that way in order to progress even further.”

With the first meet of the cross country season approaching on Sept. 4, Schuetz already has her sights set on qualifying at regionals, which will ultimately lead to nationals.

Schuetz said because LSU hasn’t had many cross country runners at nationals, she would love to be one of the few to be able to say they have done so.

“I’ve never really been to nationals for cross country,” Schuetz said. “My coach thinks I can do it. If he thinks I can do it, I think I can do it, too.”

Although this cross country season will be the final for Schuetz, she plans to return as a fifth-year senior and will be eligible for the 2017 track and field season.

NOTEBOOK

Clapp, Boutte to start at guards against McNeese

BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR Days away from the Tigers’ season opener, LSU football coach Les Miles announced the final two starters on the offensive line — redshirt freshman guard William Clapp and junior guard Josh Boutte.

“It looks like Will Clapp will start at one of them, and Josh Boutte at the other,” Miles said.

Although Clapp and Boutte will be making their first start as Tigers, they will join three veteran starters in junior left tackle Jerald Hawkins, junior center Ethan Pocic and senior right tackle Vadal Alexander, who have 73 starts combined.

When he steps onto the field Saturday, Clapp will be the second in his family to do so, joining his father, Tommy, who played defensive tackle for the Tigers from 1984-1987.

Boutte, on the other hand, played in all 13 games on special teams and made four appearances on the offensive line in 2014.

Along with Clapp and Boutte, Miles said highly-touted freshman offensive guard Maea Teuhema will see some action at guard against McNeese State.

“He’ll play in there at left guard certainly,’ Miles said.

“Just to keep everybody fresh.”

MILES EXCITED FOR FORMER LSU COMMIT BREAUX Eight years ago, Delvin Breaux was a top-20 cornerback recruit, who had committed to play for LSU until he suffered a season-ending neck injury during his senior year.

“We had him evaluated as the

top corner on our board,” Miles said. “He committed, and we were thrilled as we could be. He had a very unfortunate accident.

It didn’t make any difference to us. He was on scholarship the entire way.”

Breaux never played a down for the Tigers because doctors considered playing “a significant risk” to his neck, which Miles said disappointed the LSU coaching staff because “we so wanted him to play.”

After playing in the Canadian Football League for Hamilton Tiger-Cats for two seasons, Breaux signed with his hometown New Orleans Saints in January and will be competing for a starting job in the Saints secondary this season.

“I’m so glad for him,” Miles said. “I just want him to be everything he wants to be. He’s a very quality person. I’m so glad that he’s strong, healthy and capable.”

MILES ‘SOLD’ ON SCHOLARSHIP OFFER TO SON For Miles, one scholarship offer hit a little closer to home this season when LSU extended an offer to his son, Ben Miles.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” Les said. “I see a guy that is pleased as he could be and recognizes the great strength that LSU has. He went through the same process everybody else went through.

He’s very humbled by it.”

Les joked that he has a longstanding relationship with Ben, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound fullback out of Catholic High School.

“The dad is sold, I’ll tell you that,” Les joked. “I think there’s a coaching advantage.”

Summer began practicing with her brother’s metro-league team, an experience she said was critical in her development, even at such a young age.

against your team’s secondary, that’s not a good thing. Having your best cornerback beaten on a couple big plays raises red flags, even if it’s the preseason.

Oh, and NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Lewis will miss four to six weeks after undergoing hip surgery Tuesday.

The Saints defense managed to record only one sack against the Texans, although it was encouraging to see the defensive front eventually get some more

consistent pressure as the game went on. The defense definitely looks like a work in progress, but that progress needs to come much faster to aid the offense.

Brees hasn’t played much in the preseason, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where the Saints are offensively. But it’s also hard to be flat-out excited.

Saints coach Sean Payton is an offensive guru, and I have no doubt the Saints will pose problems for opposing defenses.

However, I don’t know if it’ll be

enough to mask the defensive inadequacies.

The Saints spent their offseason trading away Brees’ top targets, tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Kenny Stills. After the Stills trade, I started to wonder if Brees would be throwing to traffic cones this season.

Brees can still perform at a high level, and he can make mediocre players around him look better. But when your quarterback is a 36 years old, I would

competition is tougher, and the game is a lot faster.”

At 16, Summer was excelling in international play and garnering looks from recruiters, but they were not without doubts.

“It was crazy,” she said. “It was something I never thought I would do. They always told me I was too small. I was skilfull enough, but I wasn’t big or strong enough and couldn’t make it at that level.”

She proved the scouts wrong and immediately made a name for herself after she was invited to join the U-17 Canadian Women’s National Team. She led the team in scoring for the 2012 season and led them to the quarterfinals of the U-17 Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan.

Summer caught the eye of

LSU coach Brian Lee and his coaching staff with her performance on the Canadian team.

Although she had other offers in the U.S., Summer chose LSU because of how hard they recruited her. She said the turning point of her recruitment was when Lee and a few other members of the coaching staff paid her an unexpected visit and had dinner with her and her family.

“The coaches were a huge factor,” Summer said. “They would come to the camps and always stay in touch. No other [coaching staff] was that forward in my recruitment. I knew they must have had big goals for me, and I just felt really comfortable with them.”

She carried her momentum from the World Cup into

her freshman season at LSU, leading the Tigers in goals and receiving Southeastern Conference All-Freshman and second-team All-SEC honors. She followed with an efficient sophomore campaign, during which she scored seven goals, she also tied for the team lead in assists, with four.

Now in their second season together, Summer and fellow forward sophomore Jorian Baucom have formed one of the most feared forward combinations in the SEC. Last season, they combined for 15 goals and eight assists.

They already chipped in four goals and three assists just four games into the 2015 season, leading the unbeaten Tigers.

“She’s an incredible teammate,” Baucom said. “She’s

probably one of the best players I’ve had the pleasure of competing with. She’s one of the hardest working players on the field and a world-class player in my eyes. We’re very close off the field, and I think that helps a lot on the field, so it’s important that we keep that connection.”

Summer has done everything asked of her since she arrived at LSU. Lee said the sky’s the limit for her and believes she can help lead his team back into SEC and national contention as an experienced upperclassmen.

“She’s unbelievably talented, but her growth as a person and a player each year has been really rewarding,” Lee said.

“She’s everything we want in an LSU student-athlete, and we’re really proud of her.”

DEFENSE, from page 5 to the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.

In total, 17 defensive linemen have been drafted, and five defensive linesmen have been named first-team All-Americans during Miles’ decade at LSU. While following this legacy is daunting, the current linemen embrace the challenge and look to continue the tradition.

“It’s a lot to step up to the plate, but I’m looking forward to it,” said sophomore defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. “Guys like Glenn Dorsey, Michael Brockers, Bennie Logan, guys like that, it’s a tough challenge to try to fill those guys’ shoes but I can do it.”

Along with the talent on the field, coaching has played a vital role in keeping the defensive line on track despite the constant turnover.

Brick Haley served as the Tigers’ defensive line coach from 2009 to 2014 before taking the same position at the University of Texas. During his tenure, Haley mentored nine of the Tigers’ 17 defensive lineman drafted under Miles.

“We’ve had some good defensive line coaches,” said junior linebacker Lamar Louis.” Playing with new defensive lineman, it’s really not a struggle because they always seem to do their job.

Now we have a transition with [ LSU defensive line coach Ed] Orgeron, who’s a very capable coach.”

Another key to creating a seamless transition from one player to another lies in the Tigers’ practice method.

Unlike offensive players, who normally practice according to their spot on the depth chart, defensive players rotate through practice together allowing them to get to know each other’s game no matter their placement on the depth chart.

“We’re all getting an equal amount of reps, almost in different situations,” Louis said.

“Most of those guys we’ve already played with. If it’s a two guy or maybe even a guy with the [third string], we’re all rolling in and out. That’s going to be good to transition to the game because we’re going to need some of those guys to play in the game, too.”

MOA to host 19th century Parisian work

BY KAYLA RANDALL @Kay_Ran21

Relaxing nights with merlot and acrylics turned into a business when local artist Violet Tremblay opened Painting and Pinot in 2010.

Painting and Pinot, located at 7248 Perkins Road, offers unconventional painting classes where students can bring their own wine and food.

Tremblay’s interest in art started as an attempt at relaxation, when her husband and his three brothers gifted her an art set for Christmas.

“It helped me quit being such a crazy control freak,” Tremblay said.

After painting for some time, she said she got the idea to start the business as a second job to accompany her job at the Princeton Review.

Tremblay, who has a background in science, said starting

Original 19th century artwork doesn’t typically travel much, but this weekend, it’s making a trip for an extended stay at the LSU Museum of Art. The museum will open its “Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910” exhibit — a showcase full of famous painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and other artists’ Parisian art from 1880 to 1910.

The exhibit will feature the original works of ToulouseLautrec and a variety of memorabilia, including other original works from avant-garde artists of the time period, rare shadow puppets and programs from Parisian theaters and cabarets.

Associate director of development at LSU MOA Sarah Cortell Vandersypen said she expects Louisisana French culture to attract people to the exhibit.

“We’re recommitting ourselves as an institution to showing Louisiana art,” Vandersypen said, “and the influences on Louisiana art, and there’s a really strong French connection in Louisiana. So we can talk about those cultural influences, and this exhibit starts that conversation.”

Vandersypen said it’s also important that this exhibition is full of original 100-year-old art because most people, particularly in this region, will never have

Hip-hop’s fashion influence successful, deserves respect YEEZY TAUGHT ME

SARAH LEBOEUF Entertainment Writer August was a huge month for sneakerheads and hip-hop fans alike.

Kanye West’s Yeezy Boost 350 black, his second model of shoes developed with Adidas Originals, dropped Aug. 22. A week later, Tyler, the Creator’s third round of Golf Wang Vans hit select stores.

Both releases brought up the ongoing controversy between fashion lovers and hip-hop moguls on whether rappers should be welcomed to the fashion industry.

West is vocal about the criticism of his designs, citing over-exposure and racism for

his exclusion.

After criticism from New York Fashion Week’s creator Fern Mallis, West tweeted, “Fame is often looked down upon in the design world, so it’s actually been something I had to overcome.”

He once told Jimmy Kimmel, “Currently in fashion, there’s no black guy at the end of the runway.” Both statements are echoed in some of his notorious rants that usually happen in front of grand audiences at music festivals or award shows.

Despite what West believes is holding him back as a respectable designer, collaborations between hip-hop and fashion prove successful for both parties.

Publicity is key for designers to successfully brand themselves, and the fanbases these musicians

maintain could make or break that brand’s affect on people.

Just like rappers name drop Versace and Gucci to portray a high-status image, designers look for celebrities of the same magnitude in the front row of fashion shows for the same reason. It’s a give-and-take public relations affair.

Supporters of rap music are often committed to their favorite artists. “[Tyler’s fans] are down for him for life,” Rukus Board Shop owner and founder Ronnie Saurage said.

Once an artist creates a solid fanbase, nothing will drive them away — not even Tyler’s profane lyrics from Goblin or

‘Dead Petz’ unexpected, unfocused SAINTS AND SENNER GRAYSON SENNER Entertainment Writer Miley Cyrus’ fifth studio album, “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz,” proves she doesn’t need the backing of a major record label to make a successful album.

Cyrus, aside from her controversial role as a VMA host, did nothing to promote the album except yell at viewers before the credits rolled at the end of the show.

The surprise release is new for Cyrus, but not unexpected, as many artists such as Beyoncé and Drake have recently released surprise albums.

Teasing demos on social media months before release, Cyrus didn’t try to hide she was working on something new.

Her previous effort, 2013’s “Bangerz,” was produced with expensive equipment and a traditional marketing plan. “Bangerz” cost a couple million dollars to produce, while “Dead Petz” cost only a measly $50,000.

The lack of thick and expensive production was evident, as Cyrus swapped radio-ready choruses for stripped down cosmic musing.

The tracklist is overwhelming. There are 23 songs — some with titles like “Milky Milky Milk” and “Slab of Butter (Scorpion)” — and others that are too inappropriate to print.

The first track, “Dooo It,” is the epitome of Cyrus’ recent image — pot-smoking, peace-loving and headstrong. While the song is the closest on the album to being single-worthy, it tells listeners songs like “Wrecking Ball” are a thing of Cyrus’ past.

After such a high-energy lead track, Cyrus explores a darker theme with the second song, a dreary mid-tempo titled “Karen Don’t Be Sad.” The composition is strangely reminiscent of Cyrus’ 2010 cover of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and shows a more mature side of the artist both emotionally and sonically.

The next two tracks follow the lead of “Karen,” with depressing psychedelic production created by the Flaming Lips.

For the fifth track, “Space Boots,” Cyrus teamed up with Oren Yoel, producer of “Adore You,” one of the strongest offerings on 2013’s “Bangerz.” A depressing and chillingly honest psychedelic mid-tempo song, “Space Boots,” is a cry for help from Cyrus, who expresses her need for drugs and alcohol after her lover’s departure. The song displays the strongest lyrics on the album so far, proving Yoel and Cyrus to be a dynamic duo.

Yoel reappears on the album with the Flaming Lips in “BB Talk.” While the lyrics are cringe-worthy, the song presents the best production on the album, with a ’90s Robyn-esque beat

Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance was the only true form of promotion for her new album, ‘Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz,’ although she teased demos on social media months prior to the surprise release. layered over expected dirty talk from Cyrus.

After “BB Talk,” the album delves into a weird, sexual, drugged-out part of the album one could only expect from Cyrus.

“Bang Me Box,” a Mike WiLL Made It production about lesbian sex, brings Miley into the freesexual space that would make the Duggars blush.

While the Mike WiLL Made It productions on the album aren’t necessarily unlistenable, they sound too much like “Bangerz” on an otherwise rock influenced album and portray Cyrus’ music as a caricature rather than art.

Cyrus’ vulnerability turned out to be the biggest star of the album, shining brighter than any of her big-name producers.

“Pablow the Blowfish,” performed by Cyrus in May, seems to be an ode to her dead pet fish.

But after a few listens of the selfproduced track, the lyrics could be interpreted as a motif for a lost lover.

Cyrus’ outlandishly vulnerable lyrics continue until the album’s final song, with the self-

produced gem, “Twinkle Song.”

From an early point in her career, ballads have been Cyrus’ strong suit, and “Twinkle Song” is no exception. The piano ballad shows off Cyrus’ often under-appreciated pipes, with unexpected lyrics and beautiful composition.

“Twinkle Song” is a careerdefining song for Cyrus and is a refreshingly naked ending to a sometimes self-absorbed album with far too many songs.

Ultimately, the album is unexpected from Cyrus, who until recently, relied on radio hits and heavy promotion from a record label.

She gets it almost right with “Dead Petz,” offering more hits than misses.

Although the record is unfocused at times, it offers strong tracks that would make a more cohesive listening experience — if only the ridiculous and unfitting tracks were eliminated.

Thursday, September 3, 2015 PAINTING, from page 9 Painting and Pinot with no prior business experience was a learning curve. She hadn’t conducted any market research and said she’s thankful the business was successful.

Originally only a part-time job for the Tremblays, the couple said the business has grown every year since its inception. Tremblay recently decided to run Painting and Pinot full time, resigning from The Princeton Review.

She acknowledged that her business is alluring because of the alcohol mixed with the class environment. Tremblay said wine offers a different element to painting, loosening creative inhibitions.

“Usually the people who drink — it looks a little bit better,” Violet said.

Her husband Chris was flipping houses when Violet started the business and said when the business became a full-time operation, it was time to give back the support Violet had given him during the start of his career ventures.

Chris, who currently manages rental properties, still finds time to work at the Painting and Pinot.

He said he was able to have an outlet for social interaction through Painting and Pinot he was missing at his real estate job.

“I’m such a people person that I love going to the studio with people and interacting,” Chris said.

Violet and Chris both agreed while the working dynamic between them is fun, business

still gets conducted, with Chris managing accounting and scheduling and Violet teaching classes.

Violet said she’d call herself a perfectionist while she’d call her husband the exact opposite.

While their contrasting personalities make for a productive business partnership, it’s still necessary to separate work from their marriage.

“Sometimes we have to say we’re going to dinner, and we can not talk about work,” Violet said.

She said she calls the business her retirement, and when she resigned from her job at The Princeton Review, she threw a retirement party.

The fun dynamic of the business leaves her feeling happy, Violet said, and she enjoys being a part of people’s special moments.

Her lack of formal art training helps her relate to those who are struggling with their art. Seeing people look surprised with what they’ve accomplished is one of the most rewarding parts of the job,” Violet said.

Mass communication junior Leigh Anne Nugent said drinking while painting is something she does frequently and feels it helps her creative flow.

“Usually every time that I paint I have a glass of wine or a beer or something because it helps me loosen up,” Nugent said.

Violet said the thought of starting your own company can be daunting, but the best thing to do is relax and not stress.

“Just jump and know it’s going to be okay.”

“All of it is original from the time period, so when we talk about the Toulouse-Lautrec posters, it’s not like the poster sale on campus,” Vandersypen said.

“It’s the original prints and lithographs they were making for the cabarets at the time.”

LSU MOA also will present workshops, lectures and other events in conjunction with the exhibit. Vandersypen said the museum wanted not only to do the show but to have people delve into experiencing French culture. So in connection with the exhibit, there also will be a French culinary series featuring wine and food tasting.

This art in particular is only making about eight to 10 stops in the U.S. and Canada for exhibition, LSU MOA being one of them. The museum had to book its spot two years in advance.

“Every couple of years, we’ll do that big blockbuster exhibition and this is it,” Vandersypen said. “So you get to see really fantastic art that you won’t see in the rest of the state, or maybe even country since this is coming from private foreign museums and collections.”

Vandersypen said the LSU MOA staff who are surrounded by art every day were excited when they unpacked this art.

Huber said aside from the art being beautiful with its quality radiating through the museum, it’s also intriguing because though it’s now considered classic, it wasn’t accepted at the time of its creation.

“All of this art comes at a time of French experimentation. There had been a system of academic rules in teaching art that had become very rigid,” Huber said. “About the middle of the 19th century, this group of artists in Paris started rebelling against those rules and

the rigidity.”

Huber said she believes these 19th century artists changed a lot, not only within the French art community, but in modern art as well. She said the art is easy to take in, and some of it is filled with plenty of satire and caricature, which broke all the rules of the time period.

“Everything’s new, everything’s fresh and the energy goes from the artist onto the work,” Huber said.

“Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910” opens to the public at LSU MOA on Sept. 6 and closes Nov. 15.

New Orleans-based The Revivalists to play at Varsity Theatre

BY GRAYSON SENNER @graysonsenner For Zack Feinberg and the New Orleans-based band The Revivalists, the rise to success has been slow and steady.

The rock group formed in 2007 and is now touring to promote its new album, “Men Against Mountains.” One of the tour’s stops will be at the Varsity Theatre on Thursday at 8 p.m., where the band will be bringing its Big Easy sound to the Red Stick.

However, The Revivalists didn’t have an easy start in the city they call home. In August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the New Orleans area, many were forced to leave their homes. Feinberg said he and his current bandmates were no exception.

Feinburg said he had to immediately evacuate for Katrina after moving into his Tulane University dorm room.

“I didn’t even sleep in the room,” Feinberg said.

A stranger gave him a ride to Houston, and Feinberg moved to his temporary home.

Feinberg attended Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, until he could return to Tulane. He said it was there that he learned the craft of music, and he gained experience by taking a variety of classes and playing with fellow students.

Rock group The Revivalists value the college demographic at the Varsity Theatre and look forward to performing on Thursday.

After he returned to New Orleans for school, Feinberg said he met his drummer Andrew Campanelli at a music clinic at local bar Tipitina’s. The band formed from there by eventually adding David Shaw, Ed Williams, George Gekas, Rob Ingraham and Michael Girardot.

The band released an EP in 2008, and from there, The Revivalists received success and

critical acclaim that gradually pushed them into the entertainment spotlight.

“The success that we’ve seen has been slow, steady and incremental,” Feinberg said.

For the members, being musicians did not become a full-time job until 2012 when the band hired a professional booking agency.

Feinberg said he places great importance on the band’s live

shows, which serve as platforms to release new music and gauge audience reception.

“I think we’re having a really good time playing songs live and seeing people’s receptions now that the music’s out there and they’re more familiar with it,” Feinberg said.

To reach fans outside the concert setting, The Revivalists release live sessions of their

music via YouTube, with Feinberg mixing the uploads.

“It’s kind of like if we would have made our latest record on a much cheaper budget with much less time,” Feinberg said.

The band plans to release every song from its latest record, “Men Amongst Mountains,” on its YouTube channel. Feinberg said he sees YouTube as a learning tool since he’s learned to mix the videos himself.

Feinberg said the band’s new record is not a huge departure from its two previous albums. Its last album, “City of Sound,” was recorded in 2010, and Feinberg said the band members have matured as artists through three years of touring. He said the biggest difference is how much experience the members have gained through recording EPs and albums.

Today, The Revivalists tour around the world but still keep roots in southern Louisiana.

Feinberg said he is excited to play at the Baton Rouge venue, adding that the Varsity boasts a younger crowd than New Orleans, and its college demographic lends to a high-energy dynamic at the show.

The Revivalists have played at the Varsity before, and Feinberg said the memory is a fond one.

“The last shows at the Varsity I just recall being really great,” Feinberg said.

LSU students need to continue fighting higher education budget cuts THE CERULEAN CONCILIATOR JUSTIN DICHARIA Chief Columnist Just as the blazing heat and humidity are ripe breeding grounds for catastrophic hurricanes and tropical storms, the state’s revenue and spending structures are breeding a financial catastrophe capable of devastating Louisianians’ way of life — laissez les bon temps rouler.

With an already expected budget shortfall of $713 million for the next fiscal year, the beginning of August witnessed a $4.6 million cut to higher education due to last legislative session’s shortcomings, and next spring the numbers will once again jump tremendously.

The familiar scent of peril will fill the air, and LSU will need students’ voices to rise once more.

The Legislature, while funding higher education as students demanded last spring, failed to create long-term solutions to the state budget and higher education funding.

Whether this was a function of the uncooperative man residing in the Governor’s Mansion or a quickly applied bandage to stop the bleeding, the budget problems still loom, and higher education’s fate apprehensively stands on the edge of a crumbling cliff.

While legislators managed to close the $1.6 billion budget gap, the revenue created by reforming tax exemptions is only temporary. According to The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, legislators wrote most of the reforms to expire within the next few years.

The $103 million in revenue created by suspending the business utility tax exemption will disappear next fiscal year, as the law providing the revenue expires without renewal.

A bill cutting business income tax exemptions brings in money in the short run, but it will eventually phase out and the revenue will once again disappear. PAR also notes the controversial cap on the film tax credit is only temporary.

Big business and near-sighted politicians

are benefiting at your future’s expense.

This vicious cycle of budgetary peace, mayhem and perceived solutions will hinder Louisiana college students’ ability to compete with other millennials around the country.

This fall cannot afford to witness a decrease in the activism students showed during the last legislative session.

We blamed Gov. Bobby Jindal for our financial woes, but now he’s almost out the door. And a funding crisis is knocking.

The election of our next governor can ensure there is no need to shout, “No funds, no future” on the steps of the State Capitol.

Students need to pay attention to local legislators up for election, ensuring they support funding for our futures.

Remember at one time our voices rang across the state, and we brought awareness to our cause. Speak now about protecting our funding so as to not repeat history again and to avoid cementing financial troubles as a penance for our beloved state.

The drums of war are sounding. Your future is still at risk. Be the change you want to see in our state. Make the difference others are too scared to make.

Outdated bullfighting tradition inhumane, should be outlawed SIMPLY READ KAIN HINGLE Columnist As one of the most iconic traditions of Spain, bullfighting catches a lot of attention from the public.

During a bullfight, a valiant matador faces a raging bull.

The matador effortlessly dodges the bull’s attempts to maim and eventually lands the killing blow to finish the fight. This is no contest for the matador. The bull, following tradition, is severely weakened and injured before the fight. There is no chance for survival. The fight is a glorified public execution and falls into the realm of animal cruelty.

Bulls are generally passive animals. Knowing the slaughter of something so docile would not be as entertaining, the bulls are subjected to horrid prefight treatment. He is abused and starved two days prior. His hearing is distorted with ear plugs and vision limited with vaseline rubbed into his eyes.

The bull is mentally annihilated and is in no condition to fight. If the abuse is too strenuous, the bull may pass out before the fight starts.

This archaic form of entertainment has recently been banned in Coahuila, Mexico, due to its inhumane practices.

Many other countries have made movements to prohibit this abhorred sport, with assistance from the Humane Society International, which

identifies bullfighting as inhumane and attempts to prohibit its practice. The United Kingdom, Italy, Canada and Cuba are just a few countries who have banned the sport. Bullfighting remains only in Spain, France, Portugal, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador.

Every year, about 250,000 bulls are executed for audience entertainment. According to the Humane Society International’s website, “Many zoologists, veterinarians, and even ex-matadors agree that bulls are faced with an excessive amount of unnecessary discomfort in and out of the ring.”

Aficionados are reluctant to give up on bullfighting because of its cultural significance and their dedication to tradition.

This logic is flawed — there are many examples of traditions that are now illegal. Segregated water fountains, Prima Nocta and sacrificing people to the gods were once traditions.

Obviously ludicrous now, these traditions were banned due to their inhumane nature.

Bullfighting has various economic benefits keeping it alive.

Earning up to $100,000, matadors are treated like celebrities. People pay for bullfighting school, seamstresses are employed to make expensive costumes and the arenas employ about 400 men and women each.

Bullfighting is a fairly profitable business. However, slavery also was fairly profitable.

But slavery has been abolished.

Bullfighting should face a similar end.

This monstrosity of a sport is kept alive by naivety and inconsideration. Tourists visit to engulf themselves in the native culture and witness the spectacle that is the epitome of Spanish tradition. They do not realize what they have funded until the ticket is purchased and the first bull slaughtered.

Public education is the key to stopping this terrible tradition. If tourists stopped funding the bullfights, the tradition would eventually fizzle out and die. The death of this tradition will promote the life of many innocent animals.

Swift critics should focus on other aspects of new music video INFRANGIBLE ICON JOHN GAVIN HARP Columnist “If Taylor Swift’s video is set in Africa, why is she white?” asked basically everyone on the Internet this week.

Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” music video hasn’t even been out for a week, and it’s already inspired numerous think-pieces suggesting the sexy Safari romp co-starring Scott Eastwood glorifies colonialism and presents a white-washed Africa.

“We are shocked to think that in 2015, Taylor Swift, her record label and her video production group would think it was okay to film a video that presents a glamorous version of the white colonial fantasy of Africa,” NPR contributors Viviane Rutabingwa and James Kassafa Arinaitwe wrote in their clip commentary.

Daily Dot writer Nico Lang criticized the video, writing, “The video wants to have its oldschool Hollywood romance but ends up eating some old-school Hollywood racism, too.”

I rewatched the clip numerous times to ensure I wasn’t

missing anything. If being offended by something is #CoolForTheSummer, count me in.

The 4-minute-long clip’s plot revolves around Swift and her co-star filming a movie in an imperialistic Africa, featuring vivid CGI animals and Old Hollywood costumes. Swift throws a few tantrums about the male character being “so bad but he does it so well,” but then realizes she loves him, and it’s implied — because Swift’s brand is PG-13 — they have sex in a safari tent.

Other scenes involve a plane, a giant wind fan blowing Swift’s dress, sunsets, lions, giraffes and stereotypical African sights.

Suddenly, it’s revealed Swift and her co-star weren’t in Africa — they were actually filming on a set in California. Swift eventually realizes her lover is married and leaves the movie’s premiere in tears. It’s a by-the-books Swift music video.

After my 19th time watching it, I realized I was not offended by the music video. However, I found the part where Swift kicks up her leg next to the CGI lion to be sexually arousing — which concerns me, because I thought I had a pretty decent hold on my sexuality.

“But wait,” I thought, “I saw like three black people and the

liberal Jewish girl complain about this on Facebook. It’s obviously insensitive, and I’m just not getting it because I’m white or something.”

I watched the video again.

This time, I noticed Scott Eastwood is good looking even though he kind of looks like he’s constipated, and it made me really insecure. Regardless, I still don’t find the video offensive.

No, there aren’t any black people featured in the video’s African scenes at all — which is illogical because if Swift is in the middle of the Great Scramble for Africa, then where are all of the natives having their cultures stripped away and their villages raided?

This is a white-washed, romanticized version of Africa.

The video acknowledges that this Africa isn’t grounded in reality. It’s grounded in Swift’s character’s wildest dreams.

The gruesome truths of colonial Africa don’t exist in Swift’s character’s fantasy. Can anyone blame her? If I’m having an intense sexual daydream about Scott Eastwood that’s set in Africa, I’m not going to envision the starving people, diseases and oppression that were all there too. Talk about a turn-off.

To label Swift’s depiction

JORDAN STRAUSS / The Associated Press

Taylor Swift arrives at the MTV Video Music Awards Aug. 30 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. of Africa in the video as unrealistic is entirely appropriate.

To label it as propaganda for #WhitePrivilege is not. I hate to be the white guy that says, “Oh, this isn’t about race,” but it really isn’t. The critics saying it is need to shake it off. Regardless of whether Swift is offensive, she’s still winning. At the end of the clip, a message says all proceeds from the video will be donated to African wildlife

conservation efforts.

With each stream, money is donated to prevent another American dentist from hunting and killing a nation’s cherished lion. Where are the think-pieces on that?

Gun-free zones ineffective at stopping gun violence, harmful REAL SOLUTIONS FOR REAL ISSUES GARRETT MARCEL Columnist Gun control advocates are showing inconclusive results with their policies at best, and at worst, they are indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands.

Gun-free zones are only effective when every individual is screened before entering. Unless you are at the Super Bowl or a political convention, gun-free zones only invite criminal intent to commit mass murder.

In a large auditorium at LSU or the LSU Student Union, I can’t imagine how many people would die before a police response. The gun-free zones on campuses and in theaters take away the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves.

Look at history: The 1999 Columbine High School shooting only lasted one hour, but the police didn’t enter the school until two hours later. Fifteen students

died. The school was gun free.

In 2007, a man walked onto the gun-free campus of Virginia Tech and murdered 32 people.

Locking the doors to the engineering and sciences building, the perpetrator continued shooting until he killed himself 10 to 12 minutes after entering, right before police arrived.

There were 26 children and faculty members murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. The police did not enter the gun-free zone until 10 minutes after the shootings began.

To a criminal, gun-free zones are nothing more than a turkey shoot. We must rely on the citizens who can use firearms because the police will not respond in time.

College students should be given the option to conceal carry on campus. A psychological check on individuals and cooperation with campus police would ensure the safety of all students.

positions to guard the grounds.

They would need to pass a psychological evaluation, and it would provide jobs for these members of the community, offering real protection for the children.

If gun-free zones won’t save you, confiscating guns will, right? Confiscating guns in the U.S. would work like it did in Australia. You are more likely to get killed.

Advocates who praise Australia’s gun confiscation law, including our president, enjoy stating statistics like how the average firearm suicide rate after the bill declined by 57 percent and the average firearm homicide rate went down by 42 percent.

Of course, the rates went down. It’s not rocket science to figure out this one. If you look at those numbers, they clearly state the average firearm suicide rate or the firearm homicide rate.

How could these people kill themselves with guns or murder people with guns if the guns were destroyed? The tools of murder are not the issue.

What the advocates of gun

control fail to mention is the homicide rate in Australia was higher for five years after the buyback program was completed in 1997. The homicide rate in 2002 alone was 20 percent higher.

Any attempt to follow Australia’s policy in the U.S. would be impossible. Armed resistance would be encountered across the country, and it would end poorly for those implementing and supporting it.

This doesn’t stop gun control advocates from trying to restrict the transfer of firearms. According to the Brady Campaign in 2013, seven states with the strictest gun control laws also have the lowest gun death rate, but this is only a partial truth.

The FBI crime report for 2013 sheds light on the Brady Campaign’s statistics. Only two states with the strictest gun control laws were listed among states with the lowest murder rate. Two states with the fewest gun control laws also made that list.

Hawaii was the only state with

the strictest gun control laws to make it among states with the lowest violent crime rate. Ironically, four of the states with the lowest violent crime rate had the fewest gun control laws. If anything, the statistics show you are safer from violent crime in states with fewer gun control laws.

Gun registration is nonsense, but mandatory background checks should be instated given that they do not keep a record of any purchases. Anyone who has a history of psychological issues should be flagged on the database.

That is an idea gun control advocates cannot get through their thick skulls. If people want to kill one another or themselves, they don’t need guns. All it takes is a little jealousy and a rock.

It’s time gun control advocates face the facts: Gun violence isn’t the problem. All violence is.

SHOES, from page 9 ing” behavior from his arrest for “inciting a riot” in Austin, Texas, that got him banned from the U.K. and New Zealand or West’s obnoxious ego.

Of course, there’s always the over-the-top fans.

“I had a girl almost just buy [the Vans] just to have them [because she couldn’t fit in them],” Saurage said.

He also said a girl once cried in his store because they sold out of Tyler’s previous shoe collection.

That’s right, these collaborative design efforts sell out quickly, depending on the artist. You can easily find Pharrell’s Adidas Supershell Superstar shoes, released Aug. 7, but the new Yeezys sold out in less than an hour.

It’s easy money and publicity for brands to back collaborations.

Hunter Hulin, a textiles, apparel and merchandising junior who works at Rukus Board Shop and designed his own Nikes said he agrees.

“Anything [West] makes is going to be too hyped up. Anything that he puts his name on is going to sell out immediately. I like the shoe. I think it’s a cool, sleek, stylish design,” Hulin said.

Regarding the Golf Wang Vans, Saurage said, “They sell out. It’s like in one day you’ll sell almost 50 pairs of shoes. They only make so many, and it’s so limited.”

Hulin said he agrees.

“I’m a huge fan of Tyler, The Creator, so I pretty much have all of them from all three packs.

Whatever he comes out with, I’m probably going to buy. You know, it’s like you’re kind of a victim of the market,” he said.

But Tyler could care less about his sneaker or sales.

In an interview with Billboard, Tyler’s manager Christian Clancy said, “Tyler had grown up drawing doughnuts on his pants and dressing his own way. These guys are just making clothes for themselves, and then it’s a no-brainer for me as a manager to say, ‘OK, this is an obvious business.’”

Any Tyler fan knows Tyler essentially branded himself from day one. Almost every album cover, every photoshoot, every clothing or shoe design is from his notebook.

In true Tyler form, he said to Billboard, “I f---ing hate fashion and everything about it. I just like making stuff, and it happens to be in f---ing cotton and, like, materials. But that s--- [of the fashion world] is disgusting.”

Hulin said he thinks Tyler’s designs are more respectable.

“I like what Tyler is doing better because it’s obvious that he’s not doing it for anyone but himself,” Hulin said. “He’s not doing it for money, or for fame, or for more publicity — he’s strictly doing it for himself because he enjoys doing it, and he wants something to wear.”

However, West convinces people he is designing for the greater good of society. He told The New York Times, “I want to destroy [exclusivity]. The very thing that supposedly made me special — the jacket that no one could get, the direct communications with the designers — I want to give that to the world.”

Tyler’s careless style gains respect from his audience, but Yeezy fans approve of his passionate message, which is often hyperbolically compared to the civil rights movement.

While these audiences are a PR department’s dream, it’s important to also consider the art itself that hip-hop provides the fashion industry.

“It’s all art, music, fashion,” Hannah Gadbois, president of Fashion Association at LSU and textiles, apparel and merchandising senior said. “It all kind of coincides with each other, so I think rather than seeing it as a negative, you have to look at it like, ‘Hey, they’re doing what they love, and they’re adding onto it, so good for them.’”

Creative minds rarely operate in one medium. Like an athlete can excel in more than one sport, a hip-hop artist can translate their vision to fashion.

Not only that, but these rappers could influence aesthetics.

Tyler’s known for his bright, colorful style. While other brands are also known for their psychedelic style, at a Tyler concert, the entire crowd mimics his style.

His influence on color blocking is shown within his target audience.

West, known for his sleek, monochromatic style, has the same effect on the fashion industry. Perhaps it’s his influence on

the Kardashian and Jenner families, or his effect on designers in his clique such as Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, but his simplistic look is prominent in current trends.

West attempts to pioneer the hierarchy of fashion, too. While some of his previous collections were expensive, he told The New York Times he wants quality fashion with fine materials available to the masses at accessible prices.

And while he works with high fashion brands like Balmain, his Yeezy Boost collaboration with Adidas is at a comparable price point to other sneakers like Air Jordans.

Rappers who are multidimensional in their craft deserve respect.

Sold out racks and websites prove their audience approves and engages. Their influence on trends is obvious. Fashion designing gives the musicians another creative outlet that can drive innovation.

Though some fashion moguls condemn their attempts at fashion designing, the numerous brands and fans that support them, as well as the underlying logic, outweigh the negativity.

“It’s one step short of a vote of no confidence,” said Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope.

The ruling was entirely symbolic, according to an LSU news release.

The Faculty Senate voted to create an internal committee to search for concrete evidence of administrative foul play in the firing.

The AAUP released a supplementary report Wednesday morning unfavorable to LSU administrators. It focused on three issues: the administration’s impulse to suspend Buchanan, the investigation by the Office of Human Resource Management and basic First Amendment rights regarding freedom of speech.

media reports stating Buchanan was fired for “salty language” misinterpreted the facts of the case.

He said Buchanan sexually harassed students verbally.

“The number of student complaints about this faculty member’s abuse likely would have been even higher had there not been fear by students that reporting the faculty member would lead to retribution,” Alexander said.

Buchanan was fired in June after the LSU Board of Supervisors deemed her classroom behavior inappropriate.

According to the AAUP report, Buchanan was, by all accounts, a model scholar and professor. She studied “developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood education,” publishing a total of 24 articles in reputable journals and creating a new teacher education program spanning from kindergarten through third grade.

In spring 2013, Buchanan, then

an associate professor, applied for a full professorship that would go into effect at the start of the 20152016 academic year, the AAUP reported.

In December 2013, Buchanan received an email from Andrew with the subject line “Unacceptable Performance,” according to the report.

The concerns voiced in the email were related to an incident in which a school superintendent asked Buchanan to not return to several elementary schools in his district because of her derogatory manner, according to a written statement from LSU Media Relations director Ernie Ballard.

Andrew also made further accusations in the email of inappropriate statements Buchanan allegedly made in the classroom that made students feel uncomfortable.

Andrew immediately removed Buchanan from her teaching role for the spring 2014 semester.

HRM consequently launched an investigation into Buchanan’s alleged violations of LSU’s sexual harassment policy and the Americans with Disabilities Act. On June 19, Buchanan was effectively fired from LSU. LSU general counsel Thomas Skinner expressed his disapproval of the AAUP report.

“The reported facts are wrong, the statement ignores and misinterprets federal and state law, it fails to follow the AAUP’s own statement of principles, and in the report, the AAUP ignores the interests and well-being of students,” Skinner said in a letter to the AAUP. Alexander pointed out that a university that is deliberately indifferent toward sexual harassment may be subject to loss of federal funds and may be liable for money damages under Title IX or the Civil Rights Act. The censure resolution was brought up at the meeting at the

request of LSU professors Cecil Eubanks, James Garand, Robert Hogan and Pamela Monroe.

Fifteen faculty members cosponsored the proposal.

Supporters of Buchanan brought up the fact that the ADA allegations were dropped because they were found to be unsubstantiated. They also questioned if due process was actually granted because issues were never brought to Buchanan’s immediate supervisor.

Associate chair for instruction professor Charles Delzell was the and faculty senator who suggested forming a committee to review the administration’s protocol with the case.

“I think [Alexander] deserves no more due process than Buchanan got,” Delzell said.

The Faculty Senate is set to discuss the committee’s findings and decide whether to pass the faculty-drafted resolution at their next meeting in a month.

and Go Grant funding his No. 7 priority.”

The candidates pointed to college graduates as a resource for economic stability and job growth.

On job prospects for college graduates, Edwards said programs like dual enrollment and Fast Start are important to create and fill jobs, while Angelle and Dardenne highlighted government’s role in creating an atmosphere conducive to private industries.

Dardenne said coastal

development and natural gas have created “unprecedented opportunities” for Louisiana residents.

“Education is a priority, and our young people will have jobs right here in Louisiana,” Dardenne said.

Edwards said reductions in higher education funding “inhibit people from graduating.”

Student moderator Aaron Johnson said of the 200,000 college-aged residents of Louisiana, only 78,000 are registered to vote.

He asked the candidates what they

would do to engage young people in the political process.

“There’s so much apathy because for years, people have lost confidence in their elected leaders to effect change,” Edwards said, adding college students will vote for him because he will fund higher education.

Angelle said his family will factor into his policy, and he understands college-aged people because his children recently went to college.

Before their closing

statements, the candidates participated in a “lightning round,” where they responded to questions with a one-word answer.

Angelle broke the one-word rule when asked who he would vote for today in the 2016 presidential election.

“Undecided,” Angelle said.

“We don’t need another governor talking about presidential politics.”

Edwards answered “not Bobby Jindal,” while Dardenne said he was “undecided.”
