the University, the country had just suffered the 9/11 attacks. To honor all military personnel, first responders and loved ones who lost their lives or risk their lives every day, Smelley helped her first class organize a University ritual to honor their sacrifice. She said rituals are “universal” because they have been an integral part of societies across the globe throughout history.

GET B U DHIGHER EDUCATION CUTS
Senators eye large-scale budget changes BY SAMUEL CARTER KARLIN @samkarlin Discussions on how to fully fund higher education forayed into overarching budget changes in a Senate committee Monday as another special session looms over the Legislature and the state remains roughly $600 million short for next year. Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne, a Republican who ran against Gov. John Bel Edwards in last year’s primary election, discussed savings to Medicaid and Edwards’ budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year, which cuts higher education by six percent. Colleges and universities were previously told to expect double that number after taking a $28 million mid-year cut from TOPS. “Why are we continuing to pick on higher education and

Candlebox to perform at Varsity Theatre Thursday
BY DILLON LOWE @d_lowe96
Seattle grunge band Candlebox, most known for its 1993 hits “Far Behind” and “You,” will be rocking the stage of Varsity Theatre on Thursday. The show will be one of the last stops on Candlebox’s tour, following the April 22 release of its sixth studio album “Disappearing in Airports,” a project intended to showcase the group’s signature raw, urgent sound
coupled with its heavy and introspective songwriting. Also performing are alternative rock group Lullwater and indie singer-songwriter PeteRG. Throughout the years, the band has performed alongside rock legends like Rush, Radiohead and Metallica, and the huge success of its multiplatinum 1993 self-titled debut album made it possible for the band to perform on the main stage at Woodstock ’94. “Our sound has definitely

grown over each record,” Candlebox bassist Adam Kury said. “But at the end of the day, you’re never going to lose that initial sound and initial style that the band has.” Candlebox recently acquired two new members, guitarists Mike Leslie and Brian Quinn. Their input was instrumental in the creative process of creating the new record, Kury said. “As soon as you bring in

a new personality, it changes the group,” Kury said. “We were very fortunate that when we all got into the studio we were actually able to work really quickly and really well together.” The personnel change came after the 2015 departure of founding members Scott Mercado and Peter Klett. The two left to focus on their indie rock project, Lotus Crush.
The lead single from Candlebox’s new record, titled “Vexatious,” is an analysis of the current state of our relationship with technology. On this track, lead singer and songwriter Kevin Martin argues people have become so absorbed in their online identities that they no longer truly experience the real world. “We’re just noticing that people are spending a lot of time online,” Kury said. “They’re sitting out there in this little bubble
that they’ve built for themselves. There’s a lot more to life than that.” The album’s title, “Disappearing in Airports,” was inspired by the cover art of the same name, painted by the late artist Scott Rivers Fisher. In addition to an assortment of classic tracks and new tunes, the bassist said Thursday’s audience can expect to see the same high-energy performance style that Candlebox has prided itself on for more than 20 years.

healthcare?” asked Sen. Bret Allain, R - Franklin. “Why can’t we spread it out a bit?” Higher education and healthcare have taken the brunt of cuts in recent years as the state ran into recurring shortfalls, though some tax increases in the recent special session helped mitigate cuts deemed “catastrophic” to colleges and universities. Edwards is expected to call another special session immediately following the current session to raise more revenue, and legislators have their eyes on TOPS — the ever-popular tuitionpaying program which is $180 million short for the next year. If no changes are made, roughly 34,500 students would lose the scholarship for next year as the ACT requirement would be raised to a score of 26, with students’ family incomes factored in. While the House budget chairman, Rep. Cameron Henry, RMetairie, has vowed to find the money for TOPS regardless of new revenue, on Monday senators said they want big-ticket changes. “[Edwards’ budget] doesn’t do anything about making LSU a true flagship institution,” Sen. Conrad Appel, R - Metairie, said. “It just keeps us alive.” Appel, who sits on the Senate Education Committee, said the Legislature should look at how higher education is structured and move away from the short-term budget fixes the state has used in the recent past. But higher education leaders have long said colleges and universities have become as efficient as possible in the wake of largescale budget cuts, and the budget for higher education is down to a proposed $705 million for the next fiscal year, with colleges already having cut 5,000 faculty and staff positions over the last few years. “We may need to add more dollars for [higher education and healthcare],” said Sen. Jim Fannin, R - Jonesboro. Dardenne fielded questions about where Edwards’ administration plans to find more money in another special session, but said the Legislature may have to take a shot in the dark at changing the tax code to become more in line with longterm changes, which are still undecided. When senators asked if the price of oil would lessen the state’s fiscal troubles, Dardenne said, “my inclination is to be very conservative.”
“It seems to bring people together as a community ... there’s this symbolic connection to the persons that have been lost,” Smelley said. Besides the Indian Mounds, other aspects of the ceremony held cultural significance as well. The LSU ROTC participated in both a presentation and exit of colors as a way to recognize men and women in the military. A reading of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem “Charge of the Light Brigade” and a guitar rendition of the Dixie Chicks’ song “Travelin’ Soldier” followed. Organizers illustrated the feeling of loss through the poem “Our Little Candle” and James Taylor song “Fire and Rain.” Next, attendees commemorated the lives of those they had lost
with a reading of Mary Elizabeth Frye’s “Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep,” followed by a performance of Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah.” To wrap up the ritual, a bagpiper played the “Scottish WalkAway,” a Scottish tradition in which the bagpiper continues playing melodies as he walks away from a funeral until he is out of sight. The bagpiper symbolizes the spirit of the deceased person, gone but not forgotten. Social work graduate student Alex Hazlaris said the class began working on the ceremony the first day of the semester. Through Smelley’s class, she said she has learned how to handle grief in a healthy way. “There’s no quick fix for loss,” Hazlaris said. “It’s just a part of life and something we have to

CATCH THE WAVE
Hoping to secure a No. 4 starter, Mainieri gives ball to Norman in sold-out road matchup against Tulane BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR
LSU sophomore pitcher Doug Norman (21) pitches during the Tigers’ 11-4 win against Southeastern on April 20 in Alex Box Stadium. EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille
In a league as stout as the Southeastern Conference, the buzz phrase for LSU coach Paul Mainieri is “margin for error.” That was clear in the No. 8 LSU baseball team’s series loss to No. 3 Mississippi State, where Mainieri felt the first two contests were “winnable,” but ultimately slipped through their fingertips when the Bulldogs took advantage of LSU’s blunders. “A little thing here and a little thing there can help determine the outcome of a game,” Mainieri said Monday. But after the Tigers salvaged a win in the series finale, they turn to another stiff nonconference test against No. 2 Tulane at 6 p.m. today at Turchin Stadium. Mainieri is giving the starting nod to sophomore righthander Doug Norman against the Green Wave. Prior to a twohour rain delay, Norman started and threw two clean innings in the Tigers’ 11-4 win against Southeastern Louisiana on April 20. While Mainieri is unsure of how long Norman will pitch today, he’s eyeing a permanent position for the second-year hurler, which the Tigers haven’t had all season. “[I’m] hoping that he can develop as a fourth starter for us [for] the rest of the year and the postseason,” Mainieri said.

Tigers eye 14th-straight in-state win against McNeese BY MARC STEVENS @MarcStevens_TDR Since April 9, 2014, the No. 14 LSU softball team has dominated its in-state rivals, winning 13 consecutive games and losing only one. This season, the Tigers (3613, 10-11 Southeastern Conference) are a perfect 6-0 against Louisiana universities and have outscored all opponents by 48 runs. However, McNeese State looks to put a blemish on the streak when the teams battle at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in Tiger Park. “They are not going to give us a win just because of who we are,” said senior infielder Sandra Simmons. “They are going to
come with their best game, so we need to come out with our best game as well. They’re fighters.” The Cowgirls (33-10, 18-3 Southland Conference) are arguably the toughest in-state foe LSU will face and were the last Louisiana university to defeat the Tigers after securing a 2-1 comeback victory on April 9, 2014. LSU enters Tuesday’s contest having won each of its last six games. In the 16 matchups prior to the six-game winning streak, the Tigers managed to plate 44 runs, and in their most recent streak they scored 40 runs. “I know their record. I know who they’ve beaten in the SEC and around the country,” said
LSU coach Beth Torina. “They have a kid who I believe leads the country in home runs.” McNeese State sophomore infielder Erika Piancastelli — the threat Torina mentioned — is second behind Coastal Carolina’s senior catcher and national home run leader Morgan Noad. In her rookie campaign, Piancastelli broke the Cowgirls’ single-season home run record with 18 homers in 55 games. In 2016, she already has 20 long shots through 43 games and is hitting a blistering .417 at the plate. Despite the sophomore’s abilities, the rest of the McNeese

LSU textiles, apparel and merchandising seniors prepare for LSU Fashion Association’s upcoming fashion show.
Zipping it up LSU Fashion Association plans 10th annual show
BY ALLIE COBB | @alliecobbler Come May 11, University students will be strutting their stuff on the runway. The LSU Fashion Association will be hosting its 10th annual student-run fashion show in the Student Union Royal Cotillion Ballroom. The show will feature original garments designed, made and styled by students. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show begins at 6 p.m. This year’s theme is decadence, which is a play on words with decade, since this is the 10th year. There are more than 30 designers showing, an increase from years past.
“Every year, we try to improve and open it up to more of the Baton Rouge community,” fashion show chair Grace Chetta said. “We think this’ll be our best year yet. It’s going to be a good show.” A wide variety of garments will be shown, including casual wear, evening, swim, men’s and lingerie. After the show, there will be an after-party, open to the public, at Mahony’s Irish Pub. The association is open to any University student, whether they are in the textiles, apparel design and merchandising program or not, but the club primarily works through this
program. The group is geared toward students who are interested in the fashion industry and sets out to benefit students while enhancing their fashion knowledge. “We are also involved in New Orleans Fashion Week,” Chetta said. “We try to keep students involved in local events and keep relations with LSU alumni through video chats and lectures.” Not only is Chetta the fashion show chair, she is also a designer and will show a collection. Most of the seniors will show six pieces and the juniors will show a line of about three looks.

REVIEW: Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ speaks volumes, includes flawless tracklist RANDALL RAMBLES KAYLA RANDALL @Kay_ran21
LEMONADE Beyoncé
He better call Becky with the good hair. As I, Rachel Roy and most of the world try to recover from that line, we are still in awe of the greatness that was Beyoncé’s HBO visual album “Lemonade,” which premiered April 23. We know that at this point, the queen is in a lane all her own when it comes to album releases. Completely doing away with traditional releases and planning to outdo herself with each album, Beyoncé has followed up her surprise self-titled album with a semi-surprise HBO album-movie.
There isn’t another artist on this planet right now who could pull off this kind of monumental release. Think about it, Beyoncé released an album in film form on HBO. To top this, her next release is going to have to be a full-length IMAX 3D feature. As for the film itself, if you haven’t seen it, please do. You must get into the most stunning visuals you’ll see in a long time. From Houston to New Orleans, Beyoncé shines in gorgeous outfits in fields, swamps, in cars and sometimes on horseback. “Lemonade” features breathtaking cinematography and art direction, and it flows together as a film seamlessly. What makes “Lemonade” even better is the fact that the album is fantastic. Beyoncé goes reggae, rock, trap and even country, sometimes blending the genres. Her dabbling in all of these sounds somehow works out, and each track is a vocal exercise only Bey could complete.
The highlights include: “Hold Up,” “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” “Sorry,” “Love Drought,” “6 Inch,” “Freedom,” “All Night,” and well, the whole album really. With the added visuals, this album perfectly shows an honest representation of the female experience. Dedicated to black womanhood, “Lemonade” is so much more than a pop album. A certain powerful scene in “Lemonade” features the mothers of slain unarmed black children like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin. This album means something. If forced to choose a Top 3, “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” “Freedom” and “All Night” are just about the best “Lemonade” has to offer, with an honorable mention for “Hold Up.” Of course, on an album full of genuinely good tracks, everyone will have different favorites. “Don’t Hurt Yourself” features Jack White, and it’s the feature I didn’t know I needed. Beyoncé’s distorted vocals
set against Jack White’s shrieking guitar are perfection, as she appears to give her man his “final warning.” “Freedom” features Kendrick Lamar, and it is probably the most inspiring song on “Lemonade.” I can already hear it being used in Nike ads, and to motivate people to run that extra mile on workout day. Beyoncé’s vocals are tremendous, and as usual, Lamar’s verse is flawless. As the album’s closer, “All Night” is a beautiful ending to the emotional roller coaster that is “Lemonade.” The scenes being shown during the song in the visual album are of happy couples, interracial, straight, lesbian and gay, and Beyoncé strolling through a picturesque field. Her dreamy vocals are everything, and we get to see baby Blue Ivy Carter, which is always a treat. As for the music’s content, this is quite possibly the Queen’s most

Contested convention takes away from democratic process MADE YOU THINK
CHARLIE BONACQUISTI
@Charlie_Bonac2
Unless something major happens, the Republican Party will hold a contested convention. We have to make sure party leaders don’t ignore the will of the people in the process. To be the Republican nominee, a candidate needs a majority, 1,237 delegates. If no candidate reaches that threshold, the nomination process becomes contested, and most delegates become unbound. They are free to vote for whichever candidate they choose and the voting process continues until one candidate has a delegate majority. The “Anyone but Trump” Americans look at a contested convention as a gift, providing them
with the opportunity to upset the current delegate count and muscle Trump out of the nomination. The delegates represent the votes of the people, and allowing the delegates to freely choose after the first round erases the voters’ say in the process. Although Trump may not have a clear majority of delegates, he will definitely have a sizable plurality. No other Republican candidate has a reasonable mathematical probability of reaching a majority, and there is no way to ask for the people’s second choice. Rather than disregarding people’s votes, party leaders need to listen to what their base wants. The saving grace of democracy might come in the form of the GOP’s “Rule 40,” updated in 2012. This rule states that a candidate is only eligible for consideration at the convention if he or she
previously won at least eight state primary contests. The votes of the people stand a chance if this rule is followed. Despite the positive aspects of Rule 40, rumors began to fly when the Republican National Committee rules committee decided to meet to discuss changing the rules for the 2016 GOP Convention. The discussion surrounding Rule 40 stemmed from the concern of many Republicans that only Cruz and Trump would be eligible to become the GOP nominee. During the RNC meeting last week, the rules committee rejected the changes. Solomon Yue, a committee member from Oregon, warned party leaders against attempting to control the coming Cleveland events because these efforts “would blow up the convention and cause us to lose in November the White House fight.” Living in a democratic
republic gives people a voice in government. But, if the people’s original vote doesn’t choose the leader of our country, the democratic process fails. If future primaries mirror the most recent ones, we’ll be left with Donald Trump. Party leaders might not like the outcome, but that’s who the people wanted, and their voices are the ones that matter. Yes, our presidential nomination process has serious flaws. But, changing the rules now could lead to rule changes that hurt voter power in future elections. I would rather stick with these candidates and have my vote continue to count in later elections than lose that power during this cycle simply because I don’t like the candidate my fellow Americans choose. If we give up our votes now, we set the precedent for future elections.

Cruz, Kasich can’t stop Trump ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley The 2016 election-turned-reality-show just took a new twist. Again. Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released a statement that they’re teaming up to throw the Republicans into a brokered convention and deny Donald Trump the nomination. Cruz will focus on Indiana, and Kasich will focus on Oregon and New Mexico. “I’m not campaigning in Indiana, and he’s not campaigning in these other states,” Kasich told reporters in Philadelphia. “That’s all. It’s not a big deal.” Organizing with your opponent to deny the frontrunner the nomination isn’t a big deal? OK. I guess “Lemonade” wasn’t a big deal either. The 2016 cycle on the Republican side is almost completely defined by Republican politicians coming out against Trump: Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, New Mexico’s governor and Massachusetts’ governor, to name a few. They all more or less say that they don’t want Trump as the
nominee because of his rhetoric against Mexicans, Muslims and women. They claim that he doesn’t represent the Republican Party’s values. I’m calling foul on that claim. Republicans have been using anti-immigration rhetoric for years now. They’ve restricted access to women’s healthcare across the country, and don’t get me started on the Islamophobic rhetoric they’ve been spewing for the past few years. Words are powerful, and ideas spread. When you imply that all Muslims are part of the Islamic State, people will believe you. When you say that all Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers, people will listen. They’ll take it to heart and, if you’re not careful, they might just run for president. Cruz and Kasich’s last-ditch attempt to keep a delusional reality star from the White House might be futile. If none of these other politicians could keep Trump from winning as many primaries as he already has, what makes them think they can?

Tuesday, April 26, 2016 LEMONADE, from page 4 vulnerable, personal body of work yet. She utterly ravages Jay Z and her father, Mathew Knowles. The first half of the album seems to be her airing out Jay Z’s dirty laundry. She sings of him being a liar and a cheater, and in the scene that features “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” she takes off her wedding ring and tosses it. On “Sorry,” she says the now iconic line, “He better call Becky with the good hair.” The “Becky” in question may be Roy, a fashion designer who is rumored to have hooked up with Jay Z. She is the former wife of Dame Dash, who started Roc-AFella Records with Jay Z before the two had a very public falling out. On the night of the infamous Solange vs. Jay Z Met Gala elevator incident, according to some, Solange apparently had a few unkind words for Roy, who was at the Met Gala hours before she laid the beatdown on Jay Z. Allegedly, Jay had been hanging with Roy and Solange caught wind of it, leading to her attacking him in the elevator. This all may have been the catalyst for “Lemonade.”
FASHION, from page 4 The seniors have a cohesive line with a source of inspiration, Chetta said. The juniors are still in the stages of learning their personal aesthetic, how to make patterns and how to get creative with different designs. “It’s just our beginning work,” junior show chair Lydia Bays said. “We’re showcasing what we’ve done throughout the year.” The fashion show will also feature a styling competition open to all members of the club. Participants will pick out an outfit from Time Warp Boutique, style it, and show it. The theme for the competition is retro reboot. Marsh on the Catwalk, a showcase of garments and accessories made from alligator skin, will also be featured. The Fashion Association was given an alligator grant, which allows students to focus on their leather techniques through alligator skin. Marsh on the Catwalk not only helps merge the show with the College of Agriculture but also connects the participants with their Louisiana roots. After last year’s show, model Maria Vidrine joined a Baton Rouge modeling agency. She’s been practicing her walk and participating in local shows and photoshoots to build her portfolio. “The process is very fast,” Vidrine said. “You go in, fit the clothes and that’s basically it until the day of the show.” A casting call was held, where designers explained how many garments they had and what size models they needed. Fifty-five models were obtained for this year’s show. Most of the designers began refining their collection this semester, Chetta said. Last semester, they found inspiration for their pieces.
Roy may have outed herself as “Becky” on social media by posting a pic on Instagram featuring a reference to her “good hair” in a caption, hours after the premiere of “Lemonade.” You can imagine what her mentions look like. Also Beyhive, let’s make sure we don’t continue to mistake poor Rachael Ray for Roy. Ray was just trying to show off her sandwich on Instagram, she’s definitely not the “Becky” in question. A star as big and bright as Beyoncé, not to mention black and a woman, will always be criticized whether fairly or unfairly. Some have critiqued the Queen for her life appearing too “perfect” and “manufactured.” Now, some of those very same people are criticizing her for oversharing and for not leaving Jay Z, as if they are actively involved in her life and know all the details. For some people, she just can’t win. One thing is for sure, “Lemonade” is the most revealing look into Bey’s life yet. We should be grateful for that instead of trying to find fault with everything. For her past few albums, it seems Beyoncé is experimenting musically. She isn’t trying to get a hit or smash the charts by going
the generic pop route; she’s making the music she wants to make and cementing her legendary status. It’s a breath of fresh air to see this megastar be so experimental with her music and show such vulnerability. And the music is damn good, too. With each album, we’ve seen more and more of Beyoncé, fearless in whatever message she intends to send or emotions she intends to make the listener feel. Never before has an artist made the release of new music such an event. When Beyoncé releases something, anything, you want to be a part of it. You want to put your two cents in on social media, you want to experience it with the rest of the world. Whether you love her or not, Beyoncé unites people in a special way. She unites us by giving us moments like these. We’re freaking out and dissecting everything she does and says in each song and video, while she sits back on her throne and watches herself make history, not to mention more money than we can count. If that’s not the definition of a queen, I don’t know what is. If you weren’t in formation before, you’d better get there.

page 7 MCNEESE, from page 3 State batting order shifts from game-to-game. But even without a consistent lineup, the Cowgirls are averaging .311 from the plate. The Lake Charles team comes to Baton Rouge with a 2-1 record against SEC opponents. They split a two-game set with Mississippi State at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Classic and defeated Ole Miss in the Troy Classic earlier this season.
TULANE, from page 3 The Green Wave will counter with sophomore right-hander J.P. France, who quieted the Tiger bats in a 7-1 win on March 29 in Baton Rouge. France surrendered four hits and kept LSU scoreless in his six-inning start. Though he said his team will look at film of what France did well in the last contest, Mainieri also said his team attempted to “purge” that loss from their memory. “I know [France] pitched well, so, obviously, he did have some good stuff going,” Mainieri said. “But he also had a lead early. He was able to be very aggressive. We just didn’t do much that night. It was a bad night for us overall.” Tulane’s early lead was partially based on shaky start from Tiger freshman righty Cole McKay, who walked four consecutive batters after recording the first two outs of the first inning. On top of four hits, two errors helped plate two of the Green Wave’s four runs in the second inning. LSU stood in a 5-0 hole before it could come to the plate for the second time. Similarly, a few self-inflicted miscues allowed for crucial Mississippi State runs in both of the Tigers’ losses to the Bulldogs.
The Cowgirls will be attempting to win their third game against the Tigers in Baton Rouge and notch their fourth win of alltime against LSU on Tuesday. “We’re approaching this [midweek game] a little different just because McNeese is so talented,” Torina said. “We’re going to prepare for them [Monday] and take our off day later in the week ... We’ve seen what they can do, so we’re going to make sure we are ready to give them our best game.” But Mainieri didn’t believe any of those mistakes in the series loss were due to a lack of focus. “Again, the game is hard to play, and sometimes you make plays and sometimes you don’t,” Mainieri said. “[Junior second baseman] Cole Freeman just felt awful after the game on Friday because he dropped a perfect double-play flip and could have turned a double play. He didn’t drop that because of a lack of focus or a lack of effort. It happens, once in awhile, and he felt awful about it. “I can say the same thing about everybody that made a mistake.” More so, Mainieri is proud of his team’s resiliency after dropping the first two games of the series. Like it did against Alabama to open SEC play, LSU entered Game 3 of a home series down 0-2 and battled back from a Sunday deficit to claim a victory. “Winning that last game against Alabama and winning the last game against Mississippi State were very critical for us to win,” Mainieri said. “You look at things so many different ways. A weekend ago, we went on the road and swept a series. That doesn’t happen very often in this league. In a sense that makes up for us maybe not winning a series at home, by sweeping a series on the road.”
