Sigma Chi suspension result of drugs, potential hazing

Sigma Chi’s interim suspension of activities is the result of an Oct. 17 incident involving the use of potential drugs in the chapter house and potential hazing activities, according to a Nov. 3 letter to the Sigma Chi chapter president from Director of Student Advocacy and Accountability Matthew Gregory. LSU Media Relations released the letter Thursday. An active fraternity member previously told The Daily Reveille that Sigma Chi Fraternity’s interim suspension was not a result of hazing and the incident spurring the suspension was isolated to a few members. LSU Media Relations confirmed Wednesday night the chapter was suspended pending an advocacy and accountability investigation, but did not reveal

Arkansas matchup key for Fournette to prove Heisman candidacy
BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR All eyes remain on sophomore running back Leonard Fournette and his status in the Heisman Trophy conversation heading into LSU’s final three games of the 2015 season. While fans anticipated Fournette’s typical performance to lift then-No. 2 LSU past then-No. 4 University of Alabama on Nov. 7, the question in people’s mind after the shocker in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, became whether the star tailback
will average more than 1.6 yards per carry in future games. When the Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) line up against the University of Arkansas (5-4, 3-2 SEC) at 6:15 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium, Fournette has his first shot at reversing his fortunes and jumping back to the top of the Heisman rankings. The Crimson Tide’s No. 2 ranked rushing defense allowed 75.8 yards a game so far and forced LSU’s previously praised offensive line to take the burden for Fournette’s 31 yards.
“It definitely did catch me off guard,” said freshman offensive guard William Clapp. “It was a different game for us and something we got to keep in the back of our minds. Now we have to make sure we’re working hard this week so it doesn’t happen again.” The road doesn’t get much easier. Arkansas’ rushing defense is ranked 27th in the nation and kept Alabama’s junior running back and Heisman frontrunner Derrick Henry to one touchdown and

STUDENT LIFE
Students assemble in support of University of Missouri protestors BY SAM KARLIN @ samkarlin_TDR More than 100 LSU students gathered for a prayer and moment of silence at the Memorial Tower at noon Thursday, wearing black and gold to show solidarity with a fellow SEC school struggling with protests and tense race relations. The University of Missouri community lashed out against administrators in recent weeks following allegations of racial slurs and threats from
students, leading to the football team boycotting the administration and the president and chancellor resigning. The LSU Black Leadership Council, composed of all minority group leaders at LSU, organized the event on Twitter. It lasted roughly 20 minutes and included a prayer, 45 seconds of silence and short speeches from LSU NAACP President Cimajie Best and two others encouraging the group to continue supporting Missouri students on Twitter. While the majority of
students attending the event were black, a handful of white students showed up to pray, including Student Government President Andrew Mahtook, holding a sign reading, “LSU supports Mizzou.” Some wore University of Missouri shirts and jackets, and others had shirts reading, “I love my blackness and yours,” and “We are Selma.” LSU NAACP instructed those on Twitter to wear black and gold. “I love my school, but LSU definitely has its problems,”
Best said. “As a minority student on campus, it’s very easy to feel alone, that you don’t have anybody to necessarily have your best interest at heart sometimes.” The event aimed to support Missouri students and spark other schools to do the same, Best said. Mass communication senior Jonathan Brown said he sees similar issues at LSU that sparked Missouri protests, and LSU students must speak up. “Not enough students are
represented,” Brown said. “Not enough students have their voices being heard. Not enough students are aware that minority students are being mistreated and neglected.” Protests and movements like Missouri’s are 50 years in the making, Brown said, as students are finally recognizing racial injustices and mistreatment on campus. Brown said LSU needs to be the “voice of reason” in Louisiana to support black students speaking on these issues.

Student Senate votes to provide chargers in the Student Union BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter The LSU Student Senate unanimously voted during its Wednesday meeting to allocate $515 for phone chargers to rent from the LSU Student Union.

WHO’S IT GONNA BE BY CAITIE BURKES • @caitie1221
Meet the four remaining candidates to become LSU’s next Executive Vice President and Provost.
JOHN MURRAY GIBSON QUALIFICATIONS: Professor of physics at Northeastern University (2010-present), Founding dean for the College of Science at Northeastern University (2010-15), Director of Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago (2001-10), Professor at University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign (1991-99) ACADEMIC VISION: Gibson said he wants to revitalize the classic relationship between teaching and scholarship, encouraging “cross-fertilization” among departments. STRATEGIC PLANNING/BUDGET: To increase revenue, Gibson said LSU should build on its advantages — such as its location and course offerings — and restrict the size to improve the quality of each incoming freshmen class. Increasing transfer student enrollment and improving student applicant selectivity are some of his other top priorities. ADVANCEMENT OF EXCELLENCE: Gibson said LSU should focus on innovative program opportunities such as big data, energy and health ventures. The university also needs to function as a place for debate to enhance scholarship, he said. QUOTE: “If you want to go in the direction of a stronger university with a strong economic impact on the state, you have no choice but to build some selectivity.”
RICHARD KOUBEK QUALIFICATIONS: LSU interim executive vice president and provost (2015-present), Dean of LSU College of Engineering (2009-15), Head of Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Pennsylvania State University (2001-09), Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies for the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Wright State University (1999-2001), Professor and Chair for the Department of Biomedical, Industrial and Human Factors Engineering at Wright State University (1997-2001) ACADEMIC VISION: Koubek said LSU needs to maintain its leadership role as the sole flagship university in the state by raising the bar for all other institutions in Louisiana. STRATEGIC PLANNING/BUDGET: Koubek said he wants to “re-engineer” LSU’s revenue portfolio by sustaining state funding, raising academic quality of life by creating new revenue streams and expanding “big ideas” through LSU’s philanthropic resources. ADVANCEMENT OF EXCELLENCE: Koubek said shared decision-making, a deep appreciation for diversity, patience and creativity are his qualities of excellence. Time is LSU’s most valuable asset, he said, and to achieve its goals, the university must take its time. QUOTE: “There’s 32 public institutions in the state, and there’s only one flagship ... we’re trying to prepare [students] to be the next CEOs.”
MICHELE WHEATLY QUALIFICATIONS: Professor of Biology at West Virginia University (2009-present), Provost at West Virginia University (200914), Dean of Science and Math at Wright State University (2002-09), Chair of Biology at Wright State University (1994-2002) ACADEMIC VISION: Wheatly said her vision includes “universal access to education,” particularly for women and people with disabilities in STEM fields. Her vision also focuses on solving the STEM-pipeline issue, which discourages students from entering STEM degree programs. STRATEGIC PLANNING/BUDGET: Wheatly said LSU needs to invest in the “completion agenda.” She said administration should utilize the different foundations more, and she discussed her desire to restructure LSU’s mindset from focusing on the “cost” of higher education to the “value” of it. ADVANCEMENT OF EXCELLENCE: She said technology should be “welcomed and not feared” and she encouraged the university to identify areas where interdisciplinary studies could mix. QUOTE: “Embedding ourselves in this idea of inclusive excellence ... a variety of people can actually succeed in higher education.”
JOHN VALERY WHITE QUALIFICATIONS: Professor of Law at University of Nevada, Las Vegas Boyd School of Law (2007-present), Strategic advisor to the President of UNLV (2015-present), Executive vice president and provost at UNLV (2012-15), Dean of the Boyd School of Law at UNLV (2007-12), J. Dawson Gasquet Memorial Professor of Law at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center (2003-07) ACADEMIC VISION: White said he will focus on student engagement by incorporating a “centralized approach with localized activity” respective to each department. STRATEGIC PLANNING/BUDGET: White said LSU needs to improve efforts in garnering alumni and donor support by transforming expectations from students and faculty. He also said LSU needs to buttress its ability to become a productive research university and enhance economic development. Enrollment management is essential, he said. Advancement of Excellence: While LSU’s name recognition allows it to be competitive, White said the university should build on its comprehensive nature. He said LSU should offer an “elite educational experience” by decreasing the student:faculty ratio and redirecting revenue streams. QUOTE: “I can bring calm leadership through crisis and change.” photos by OLIVIA RAMIREZ / The Daily Reveille and THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

PACKING Freshmen, returners ring in anticipated new year with season opener against McNeese State
BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR It’s not a novelty concept for LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones. If you happened to walk through Free Speech Plaza on Tuesday, Jones and his staff may have run you down with a schedule, persuading you to head to the PMAC this season. He’s been doing it since he returned to his alma mater for the 2012 season and is as active as any coach can get when it comes to marketing his team. The fourth-year coach knows as well as anybody — to get butts in the seats and recreate the magic that was “The Deaf Dome,” the product on the floor must be quality. But when the No. 21 Tigers officially tip off against McNeese State University at 8 p.m. tonight, a larger-thannormal crowd for a season opener may tell a different story. And a group of three freshmen, one of which being the Southeastern Conference Preseason Player of the Year and the fourth freshman in NCAA history to earn preseason FirstTeam All-America honors, will certainly help with that. “For me, I haven’t done anything until I make it,” said freshman forward Ben Simmons. “And making it for me is being the best player in the world.” Simmons, along with freshmen guards Antonio Blakeney and Brandon Sampson, joins a solid but incomplete list of veterans to start the season looking to improve on a second-round

Tigers used Arkansas loss to fuel 2007 BCS title run
BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR Sometimes a loss defines a season more than win. As oddly-quiet LSU fans filed out of Tiger Stadium after the topranked Tigers’ 50-48 triple-overtime loss to the University of Arkansas on Nov. 23, 2007, all national championship hopes seemed lost. After all, national champions are only allowed one flaw, not two, even if both losses came in triple overtime against Southeastern Conference opponents. “The loss just hurt because we had a lot going for us,” said thenfreshman defensive tackle Drake Nevis. “We still had everything available for us. At the end of the game, we just couldn’t believe it. We just knew at one point somebody was going to make the play ... At the end, losing was a shock.” For the second time in 2007, the Tigers lost by less than seven points as the nation’s No. 1-ranked team in a back-and-forth conference affair. But despite how the odds were against them, the Tigers pulled the ultimate “not so fast” in the words of ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso, clawing their way back into national title contention with a victory in the SEC Championship Game and a historic domino effect of losses across the country.

Senior Arias excels in singles, doubles for Tigers BY HEATHER ALLEN @Hallen_TDR LSU senior tennis player Boris Arias’ stats aren’t important to him as long as the LSU men’s tennis team picks up the victory. But as he prepares for the final preseason tournament of his collegiate career, Arias’ selflessness doesn’t diminish the name he’s made for himself on the collegiate scene since his freshman year. “My freshman year, I wasn’t playing that much singles, and the team wasn’t doing too good,” Arias said. “We went to play Texas A&M [University] at A&M, and they were No. 7 or No. 8 in the country. I was playing six and was the last match there, somehow I ended up winning the match. That was one of the best feelings I’ve had here so far.”
Arias’ victory against Texas A&M’s then-senior Niall Angus foreshadowed what was to come of Arias, who finished his freshman season with a 12-13 overall singles record and a 12-19 doubles record. The Bolivia native came back stronger in his sophomore season, earning a 19-17 singles record. Arias proved himself to be a dual threat, notching a 25-14 doubles record with LSU alumnus Chris Simpson. The duo started the season ranked No. 60 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association and moved as high as No. 20. He continued to improve throughout his junior season, again earning a winning record in both singles and doubles. In singles, he finished the season 25-10. He and junior Jordan Daigle paired up in

doubles, earning a 14-9 record. For Arias’ senior season, he and Daigle earned a preseason ITA ranking of No. 4 in the nation. But with so much emphasis on his doubles play, Arias’ singles play was overlooked in the ITA ranking — he didn’t make the top 125. While he feels like his success in doubles may overshadow his singles play, Arias said he just uses his success to build strength in other areas. “It just helps me with my confidence,” Arias said. “Of course, I’ve got to keep up in doubles. I’m trying to improve as much as I can in singles. I think I’m doing a good job now and hopefully I can do very good this year.” In singles play, Arias started the preseason with a win at the Cajun Classic. He added three wins at the LSU Invitational. LSU tennis coach Jeff Brown said even though Arias is more of a team player, he plays well in singles matches, and his hard work in practice will ultimately help him this season. “In singles at our tournament, it was good for him to end up where he was able to play several matches in a row,” Brown said. “He’s certainly much more of a team player than an individual player, but he also understood that he needed to play some matches to get himself feeling ready to go. That’s the place where he is now. “His level rises a lot when he’s playing for the team, but he also has himself playing at a good level and when the enthusiasm of the team match comes around he looks like he’ll be ready to go.” Along with wins in singles, Arias and Daigle notched highprofile doubles wins this preseason. At the Oracle ITA Masters, the duo defeated the No. 1 doubles team in the nation, the University of Georgia’s Austin Smith and Ben Wagland. Both Arias and Daigle faced injuries that prevented them from playing together much in the fall, but they realize the level they are capable of playing at, Brown said. Daigle said although he and Arias play well and succeed at
“It was a lot to play for,” Nevis said. “A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to play for the SEC championship. At that moment in time, the only thing that was important was winning that game. Once you focus on just one task, everything else is just out of your control.” Heading into the 2007 edition of LSU-Arkansas, the Tigers expected a battle worthy of the “Golden Boot,” and the Razorbacks gave them all they could handle. The high-powered LSU and Arkansas offenses exchanged scores, combining for 56 points through regulation alone. Arkansas then-junior running back duo Darren McFadden and Felix Jones gashed the Tigers defense for 291 total yards on the ground and three touchdowns, while then-senior running back Jacob Hester tallied a careerhigh 126 yards on 28 carries in his usual workman style. “I remember it being a back
MEN’S BASKETBALL, from page 5 exit in the NCAA Tournament last season. Gone are NBA draft picks Jarell Martin and Jordan Mickey, but the returners, led by junior guard Tim Quarterman, will attempt to replicate the leadership role senior guard Keith Hornsby brings on the floor as he recovers from an injury for the foreseeable future. For Quarterman, tonight gives him a chance to officially erase the “big headache” from the lastsecond loss to North Carolina State University in the NCAA Tournament, when LSU relinquished a 16-point lead in the second half. “When you lose, the tournament keeps going. We lost so early and then to see what [NC State] was able to accomplish by beating Villanova [University ] and going to the Sweet 16, having a chance against [University of] Louisville. You just picture yourself where you figure you could have been. The sickening feeling
NICHOLAS MARTINO / The Daily Reveille
Senior Boris Arias [above] and junior Jordan Daigle are ranked fourth in the nation in the preseason for college men’s doubles tennis. singles, they’re better as a team and he enjoys playing with Arias. “Boris is just so easy to play with, he’s always positive, always in a good mood,” Daigle said. “It makes it really easy to play with him.” Arias said he’s trying to improve in singles, but at the end of the day, playing and winning as a team is the most important thing for him. The senior wants the team to make the Sweet 16 at the NCAA Championships in his final year on the courts. He also wants to move up in the doubles ranking with Daigle and advance as far as their talent takes them. And because he’s one of the few Tigers lacking a singles ranking, Arias said he would like to become ranked. Brown said Arias has the potential to do well no matter what he plays or where they put him in the lineup. “He’s going to win a lot of matches, he’s just that kind of guy,” Brown said. “He could probably handle any place we put him, pretty much as high as we decide to play him. He’s certainly going to feel like, at worst, he’s even with his opponents. A lot of the times I think he brings a lot more to the table than most of his opponents.” eventually faded and all eyes are now on potential postseason run. To do that, the Tigers need to find a balance in the frontcourt, an evident weakness with the loss of Martin and Mickey, to match the depth in the backcourt. While the Tigers are hoping to get consistent production from sophomore Elbert Robinson III, a 7-foot-1 center who spent most of last season getting in shape, rebounding became a point of emphasis after LSU’s 98-72 exhibition win against Southwest Baptist University. “We have to get better,” Jones said. “We were a bigger, stronger and more athletic team. They outrebounded us, and that’s not something that we can allow to happen... For us to be a really good basketball team, we are going to have to rebound the ball well, and we are going to have to defend well. If we can do those two things, we will certainly have a great deal of success. That’s something our main focus has been on this week.”
Friday, November 13, 2015 and forth game, ” Hester said. “A game with a lot of offense. Darren McFadden and Felix Jones for Arkansas and myself had some pretty good rushing days ... It was one of those games where you know whoever made the first mistake would lose the game.” Despite their highlight reel against the Razorbacks, Hester and company’s uncharacteristic mistakes loom larger than the individual statistical success. In the fourth quarter, thensenior quarterback Matt Flynn connected with Hester for an easy 54-yard touchdown pass to put LSU ahead, 27-21. But an ineligible man downfield penalty cost the Tigers the score and the momentum. “Once that happened, you could feel the momentum swing back to Arkansas,” Hester said. In overtime, the Razorbacks and Tigers continued the slugfest until LSU’s mandatory two-point conversion attempt in the third overtime failed when Flynn was picked off in the end zone. Looking back on the loss,
veterans and rookies alike felt its devastation. “It was sickening because … that game put us out of the national championship race,” said then-redshirt freshman defensive tackle Lazarius Levingston. “[Going forward], we have pride. We wear that purple and gold … We wanted to finish and go out with a bang. We just suited up and just continued.” Just a week later, LSU bounced back with a 21-14 win against the then-No. 14 University of Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game. During the plane ride back to Baton Rouge, the Tigers’ dreams became reality as the No. 1 University of Missouri and No. 2 West Virginia lost in the final weekend of the season, culminating in an LSU and the Ohio State University national championship game. “When we found out that we were going, it was the craziest plane ride ever, “ Levingston said. “It was pure excitement. Everybody was jumping up and going crazy.”
SOCCER
Tigers to face University of Southern Alabama in NCAA Tournament BY C.J. RUCKER @Ruckmatic The LSU soccer team will take on the University of South Alabama in the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Tournament at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Mobile, Alabama. The Tigers (13-5-4, 5-4-2 Southeastern Conference) are coming off two victories in the SEC Tournament, which landed them an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. The Jaguars (17-2-2, 9-0-0 Sun Belt Conference) earned the Sun Belt Conference’s automatic bid after cruising through the conference tournament for the third year in a row. No. 7-seeded LSU defeated the No. 10-seeded University of Kentucky in the first round and No. 2-seeded University of Missouri in the second round, advancing to the SEC Semifinals for the sixth time in team history. LSU battled back to overcome a 1-0 deficit against Kentucky, scoring two goals in the second half to craft a comeback win the opening match of the conference tournament. Senior midfielder Natalia Gomez-Junco said the Tigers’ performance in the SEC Tournament gave the players muchneeded a morale boost before the start of the national tournament. “It helped a lot with confidence,” Gomez-Junco said. “We’ve just proven that we can beat anyone. We have a strong team that’s overcome adversity. We’re a team that will never give up and I love that about this team.” Senior defender Alex Arlitt and Gomez-Junco were both selected to the SEC

All-Tournament Team for their efforts during the Tigers’ three-game stint. LSU coach Brian Lee said South Alabama is one of the more challenging opponents his team faces because of the strength of its nonconference schedule. “Our first game against South Alabama is a monumental challenge, “ Lee said in a news release. “They’re a talented team, 16th in the RPI. The coach there, Graham [Winkworth], has done an unbelievable job there building their program.” The Jaguars performed admirably against SEC teams during the regular season, recording a 1-1 record. The Jaguars earned a win against Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, in their first game of the season on Aug. 21. On Sept. 13, South Alabama was on pace to defeat then-No. 9 Auburn University with a 1-0 lead, but the Jaguars
conceded two goals in the final 22 minutes of the game. The Jaguars are led by an explosive trio made up of sophomore forward Charde Hannah, sophomore forward Ashlynn Jones and sophomore midfielder Danielle Henley, who have scored 27 of the team’s 57 goals this season. Saturday’s match will be the 10th meeting all-time between LSU and South Alabama on the soccer pitch as the Tigers hold a narrow 5-4 edge dating back to the program’s inaugural season in 1995. The two sides last met five years ago at the LSU Soccer Stadium, but the Tigers said being on the road this time around won’t affect their mindset. “We’ve worked so hard as a team to get back here, and now we need to focus on our preparation to take this season as far as it can go from here,” Arlitt said in a news release.
SAT Opinion IRE

Jindal warns he could return to Louisiana for good if he loses the election ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY Columnist Gov. Bobby Jindal briefly came down to Louisiana to warn everyone that while he is still running for president, he’ll come home to Louisiana forever if he loses. “I might have relocated to Iowa for the time being, but you’ll never really get rid of me,” Jindal said. “My campaign could end any day, and when it inevitably does, I’m coming right back home.” Jindal said Louisiana residents better start supporting him so he could get in to the primetime debates, or else. He said he could make life much harder in Louisiana than it already is. “If my campaign ends before the next governor’s inauguration, and believe me, it will end well before that day, I’m coming for all of you,” Jindal said. “When I’m through with this sinkhole of a state, you’ll never be able to recover.” Jindal’s spokesperson said Jindal has been generous so far. If our governor had his way, LSU students would pay for 100
percent of the costs to run the school, and students should be grateful our overlord is allowing low-life serfs to have a government that subsidizes a portion of the school’s budget. “You think things like health care and education are expensive now?” Jindal said. “Just wait. I have big plans for this state once my longshot dream of living in the White House inevitably falls flat and crushes my spirits forever. Once I finally destroy my reputation on the national scale, I’m going to annihilate Louisiana. You better pray I get on at least one real debate.” To further prove his unquenchable wrath, he called on state lawmakers to deport everyone below the federal poverty line from Louisiana. However, his proposal could take months because Congress is now in gridlock on deportation. State Democrats think the only way to get rid of these pesky leeches is to make the government pay for the deportation as their last entitlement. “These uneducated, lazy drug addicts have been nothing but a burden on my campaign,” a local Democratic lawmaker said. “How am I supposed to get racist white people with an inflated sense of entitlement to vote for
me when all my followers are poor, abortion-loving black hippies? The only way to efficiently rid ourselves of this plague is by getting the government to pay for their deportation.” Republicans disagree, saying those welfare queens should pull themselves by their bootstraps and pay their own way out of this godforsaken land. “If we provide the transportation, temporary housing and pay them the value of all their possessions, how will they ever learn not to be poor leeches on society?” a local Republican lawmaker said. “This is just another way the Obama administration is trying to push socialism onto us.” John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, the Democratic candidate for governor, said Jindal’s fiscal irresponsibility is causing this gridlock. “If we just expanded Medicaid, we could have enough money in the budget to throw every poor person and minority out of Louisiana,” Edwards said. “By not expanding Medicaid, we have to pick which marginalized group we want to live with until Louisiana inevitably runs itself to the ground.” Sen. David Vitter, R-La., the opposing gubernatorial candidate, couldn’t be reached for a

governor again in 2019,” Jindal said. “Mess with me. I dare you.”

There aren’t enough men in today’s Louisiana politics BEYER’S REMORSE
MICHAEL BEYER Columnist Louisiana’s women are stealing political jobs from hard-working, honest men. According to The Center for Women in Politics, labeled a hate group by the men’s rights group “Mo’ Money Mo’ Men,” found 85.5 percent of the state legislature is held by ungodly harlots who don’t understand a woman’s place is in the kitchen. Everywhere you turn in Louisiana, statewide and local offices are filled with women, and it’s terrible. We need more sausage in this gumbo. Even though women make up a majority of the people voting in Louisiana’s elections, they shouldn’t need to feel represented by their legislators.
When it comes to “women’s issues” like equal pay and reproductive health care, men are doing a great job representing women. That’s why Louisiana has the lowest gender pay gap of any state in the country, according to Mo’ Money Mo’ Men, with women earning 100 cents for every dollar a man makes for the same work. Even better, a 2013 report from the House Republican Men’s Health and Welfare Committee gave Louisiana an “A” in reproductive health care. It’s clear Louisiana men do an excellent job of representing women. This kind of “take it or leave it” leadership gave us visionaries from U.S. Sen. David Vitter and U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise to U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy and Gov. Bobby Jindal. But men are tired of

having to govern all the time. It must be stressful having so many important decisions resting on their manly shoulders. Jindal explained this problem Wednesday from his Jindal for President Iowa bunker: “Putting Louisiana on cruise control has been pretty grueling for me. I mean, I have to think about Louisiana at least once a day when I’m running for president, and that’s exhausting.” He then tossed a new “BobBAE” button, presumably to appeal to millennials, into the trash. “It’s especially hard for men in Congress these days,” Vitter said, “Times are a changin’. Some of my colleagues told me of the good ol’ days when there were no women’s bathrooms in the Senate.” “I mean, many of us could have used that space for
marriage or legal counseling,” he said longingly. Lately, Vitter, a loyal Catholic, is seen running around the Hart Senate Office Building looking for free legal advice, shouting at any person who will listen, “Do you know if DNA evidence can be used in court?” Scalise lamented the loss of another Congressional mancave. “I just thought it was another neighborhood association meeting, I swear!” he said looking as white as a sheet as he abruptly ran away from me. This isn’t the leadership we deserve — it’s the leadership our state needs. When women lead, it has only led our state into disaster. “Whenever I would try and get more federal dollars for Louisiana to restore our coast from the BP oil spill to Katrina, I couldn’t find anyone to help,” lamented former woman U.S. Sen.

Whoa, I’m just hoping people like me in the Senate.” This is the leadership Louisiana’s men can provide. If we’re lucky, maybe this leadership style can inspire a new generation of leaders to solve our state’s problems. There is a lot at stake for Louisiana.

the grounds for the suspension because the investigation is ongoing. The chapter received notice of the suspension on Nov. 3, and a concurrent investigation by the national chapter is also taking place, LSU Media Relations confirmed. The active fraternity member told The Daily Reveille that Sigma Chi handled the situation internally before alumni advisers suggested the LSU chapter bring it to the national chapter’s attention. The national fraternity then handed down the cease and desist letter for chapter activity, which allowed members to continue to live and eat meals at the house, but banned meetings or events held without approval from the national fraternity, The Daily Reveille learned. “We are implementing a thorough investigation and accountability process regarding Sigma Chi,” said LSU Vice President for Student Life and Enrollment Kurt Keppler in an email. “We also appreciate the work being done by the national fraternity organization to ensure these types of incidents don’t occur and their quick
action taken if an issue arises.” The Sigma Chi Fraternity International Headquarters announced in a news release Thursday night the LSU chapter was on interim suspension after “receiving allegations that a minority of our membership at the LSU chapter had engaged in drug use.” In the release, LSU’s Sigma Chi chapter president Clayton Furr said, “we are working closely with Greek Life at LSU and our General Fraternity Headquarters to insure that our chapter presents a safe and drug free environment. We are embracing the challenges that college students face today in a manner that demonstrates the values of our Fraternity.” Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory, LSU’s Sigma Chi chapter president Clayton Furr and representatives from the Sigma Chi national office did not respond to repeated requests for comment. LSU Media Relations did not comment on whether the suspension is related to the death of LSU senior and Sigma Chi brother Sawyer Reed on Oct. 17. *Quint Forgey and Rose Velazquez contributed to this report

SIGMA CHI, from page 1
EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille
LSU Media Relations confirmed Wednesday Sigma Chi’s LSU fraternity chapter is on interim suspension.
The Daily Reveille ARKANSAS, from page 1 95 yards, allowing 129.4 yards per game this season. “It’s all about preparation,” Fournette said. “Everything we do as leaders has to be crisp. It all starts [Monday] when we try and make corrections by looking at film from the Alabama game then move on to Arkansas.” Last year, Fournette saw his career-low rushing performance against Arkansas in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, finishing the game with nine yards on five carries. But the New Orleansnative grew into an even stronger and more consistent player. Having rushed for 949 yards over a stretch of five games at Tiger Stadium, he said he looks forward to playing at home, calling it the best place in the world. The LSU star also said he doesn’t worry about his Heisman spot, but his chances aren’t eliminated. Henry leads Fournette by one touchdown but is 129 yards behind the Tiger tailback, while having played one more game due to LSU’s canceled season opener against McNeese State University. Clapp said watching film and correcting the mistakes made against Alabama will preapre them for Arkansas’ defensive linemen, but there is more than technique the players are working on. For junior center Ethan Pocic, the offensive line needs to come out firing from LSU’s first offensive possession to avoid reliance on the passing game in third-and-long situations. “I think as a unit, we got to start faster,” Pocic said. “Getting out to a good start is what we’ve been working toward. We worked too hard to come out and just lay
page 11 down for a team.” Aiming for perfection, Fournette said he is confident about bouncing back against Arkansas and focuses on keeping the team together. “We got to keep our heads high
and know we can finish the season with a championship,” Fournette said. “Everyone needs to know that we are going to come back. Everyone acts like it’s the end of the world, but we have three more games to play.”
