Annual Law Center football game raises money to honor late professor, dean Cheney Joseph BY TIA BANERJEE | @tiabanerjee_TDR Students from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center swapped out their briefcases and suits on Saturday for helmets, football jerseys and cheerleading uniforms. Barristers Bowl XII was held at Memorial Stadium. In the past, proceeds from the annual event have gone to charities such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year, the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society in honor of late dean and professor Cheney Joseph and his legacy. Before kickoff, Joseph’s wife, Mary Terrell Joseph, was honored on the field.

The Paul M. Herbert Law Center hosts an annual charity event, Barristers Bowl XII, to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

For student organizations looking for help with funding their activities, Student Government can be a valuable resource. The Programming, Support and Initiative Fund committee, one of three SG committees responsible for distributing funds, assists campus organizations with funding events and supports new student organizations financially through the use of student fees. PSIF is a committee made up of eight students, four from SG and four from the general student body. The committee allots money from student fees to student clubs and associations. The five accounts that make up PSIF fund campus events like the Homecoming concert in the fall, Groovin’ in the spring and various University occasions. To qualify for PSIF funding, the student organization must be registered with Campus Life or the UREC. If the organization requests funding for a certain event, it must be on campus or less than 10 miles away. SG director of finance Wesley Davis said PSIF is a useful tool that student organizations sometimes do not utilize. Depending on

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

Student enters politics with bid for Metro Council seat BY CAITIE BURKES @caitie1221

At 18, not only can marketing freshman Malcolm Dunn register to vote, he can also run for local political office — and he plans to do just that. Dunn hopes to run for the vacant District 12 seat on the Baton Rouge Metro Council. The Luling, Louisiana native said his platform involves everything from the halting of price inflation to the legalization of marijuana. While working at a grocery store during the summer, Dunn said he was shocked to learn how

many people in his community were on food stamps. “I just feel like [the] government doesn’t help people enough,” he said. “I feel like they need more programs to help out people like that.” Dunn said one of his ideas is the Reaux Plan, an initiative that would promote compromise within the bipartisan Council. The art of compromise has been lost over time, he said. Through the Reaux Plan, Dunn said he would implement measures to solve “the inflation problem” plaguing the state. He said the Council needs to work together to cure the economic ills

causing prices to rise constantly. “Once something’s too big, it pops,” Dunn said. Other than inflation, the Metro Council hopeful places another priority at the top of his agenda: the legalization and taxation of marijuana. Citing the usual price drop that comes with marijuana legalization, Dunn said he would create a 25 percent sales tax on the product. He said he does not think customers would mind the sizable tax because it balances out with what its original price would have been. Dunn said he thinks providing governmental access to the

drug would “calm the world out a lot.” While he conceded recreational marijuana use might make citizens lazier, he said he believes it would significantly decrease the crime rate. He said he hopes to defy the stereotype of marijuana as a “gateway drug.” “You could say the same thing about alcohol being a gateway drug,” Dunn said. “Any drug is a gateway drug.” Since he first heard news of Dunn’s interest in membership, District 11 Council member Ryan Heck said he thinks it is

Professor researches long range communication BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano If mathematics professor Robert Lipton has his way, selfies could be sent to Saturn. Lipton is a member of a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative grant team composed of professors from the University of New Mexico, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Irvine and Ohio State University. The team is using the five year, $7.5 million grant to research the amplification of microwaves to improve long range communications. The team’s goal is to amplify high fidelity waves while maintaining the shape, allowing for sophisticated messages to be clearly communicated over longer distances. Typically, power and wave shape are mutually exclusive characteristics, making this research especially difficult, Lipton said. He said the team’s basic design concept is similar to the functioning of a reed in a clarinet. An electron beam will be fired through a tube, where the beam will connect with interaction

PSIF, from page 1 the account, Davis said available funding can vary from $17,000 to over $300,000. “The Organization Initiatives and Conference Support account had like, $325,000 [last semester] and we only used about $10,000 of it or so,” Davis said. Last semester, PSIF gave out

structures consisting of various geometric shapes. As the desired electromagnetic wave passes through the device, the interaction structures will slow the wave to the speed of the electron beam. Once the wave is slowed, it will interact with the electrons from the beam and steal some of the electrons’ kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will be converted to electromagnetic energy and amplify the wave to increase the distance over which it can travel, Lipton said. Another challenge the team faces is the materials available for use. Working under the constraints of high temperatures and high magnetic fields, the team must construct the device and interaction structures entirely of metamaterials — synthetic materials with properties not found in nature — instead of natural materials. The problem’s difficulty requires the involvement of multiple disciplines, including mathematics, engineering and physics. “The reason a math department would be called in, like our department, is we have expertise

in electromagnetics, but we also practice a scientifically agnostic discipline, which is applied math or mathematics,” Lipton said. Lipton, with the assistance of graduate student Lokendra Thakur and postdoctoral researcher Anthony Polizzi, is assessing which designs will produce the greatest amplification. They simulate the designs through computational models and assess each design’s viability to help the team decide which designs to execute. “For example, like how the shape of a drum head influences the tone of the drum, we’re doing the same thing, only with electromagnetic waves,” Lipton said. “We’re assessing how the shape of the interaction structure influences the amplification of the wave form.” Now entering the grant’s fourth year, the team is preparing to build prototypes of their best designs. The team intends to apply for another grant to continue expanding upon their discoveries, Lipton said. The research will have numerous uses if successful, mainly in the fields of communications and

pulse power applications. It will also be useful to further improve particle accelerator technologies, which are used in radiotherapy for tumors, he said. Thakur, who studies applied mathematics, said working on this project has let him contribute positively to society while expanding his knowledge of mathematics. “At the end of the day this is going to be very practical,” Thakur said. “It’s not like something done in a theory and then left and forgotten.”

about $44,000 in funding for student organizations. Black Student Union president Destinee Medina said PSIF provided funding for the organization’s fall gala during Homecoming Week. “I think PSIF is a great resource, especially for organizations that are smaller or don’t have much funding,” Medina said. “There are organizations that

have great ideas that just don’t have the money to fund them.” For organizations that have been established for less than two academic years, PSIF provides $1,500 in start-up support to help launch the organization’s initiatives. Davis said PSIF funds the core operations for other clubs as well. The group also provided

around $10,000 in funding for the Musical Theatre Club’s production of “Legally Blonde,” which ran Feb. 12-14. MTC board chair Curran Latas said without the funding, the club would not have been able to finance the show and offer free admission for every performance. “PSIF is helping us to give back to the LSU and Baton Rouge community in ways we never thought would be possible,” said Latas. Davis said SG will be reaching out to student clubs and other on-campus organizations to make sure they are aware of the resources available to them. His goal is to spread the word about PSIF to as many organizations as possible. “There’s a lot of money that I would like to see more people made aware of,” said Davis. “Hopefully by the time I’m done with this position more people will know about it.”

SWEEPING

THE BOX Progressing offense, productive starting pitching produces sweep of Cincinnati BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR A rally, a shutout and a blowout highlighted the No. 5 LSU baseball team’s three-game set with Cincinnati to open the 2016 season at Alex Box Stadium. Despite the inconsistent results for a new-look team, the overall outcome was familiar to 10-year Tiger coach Paul Mainieri — his sixth season-opening sweep of a single opponent, capitalized by Sunday’s 12-4 trouncing of the Bearcats (0-3). “We got a long way to go,” Mainieri said. “We need to make a lot of improvement in a lot areas. But you can’t be terribly unhappy winning three games, especially with the bats coming to life today.” With Sunday’s victory, Mainieri has swept all but one season-opening series since arriving in Baton Rouge, excluding

two opening weekends where the Tigers (3-0) played more than one team. When starting the season, Mainieri’s philosophy has always been the same and isn’t uncommon: give as many players as possible a chance to play when the opportunity presents itself. LSU’s opening games are usually winnable, making playing time for multiple young or new players a high probability at some point during the first series. It was no different this weekend, as every available position player and all but two available pitchers appeared against the Bearcats. “I always like to get guys into the games the first weekend because they’ve been playing every day in intrasquad games, just like the starting players,” Mainieri said. “[The backup players’] timing is good. They’re confident because they’ve been playing, and you like

to let them get their first taste of Division I college baseball that first weekend. Several of them took advantage of their first opportunity.” The first or — in some cases — second appearances by backup players’ on Sunday produced the most dominant offensive showing of the series. Entering Game 3 with a .192 batting average, Sunday’s win featured 10 hits and four home runs, including a grand slam by JUCO transfer and designated hitter Bryce Adams. Fellow JUCO transfer Jordan Romero, star of Friday night’s 6-5, 12-inning victory, made his first collegiate start behind the plate count, as starting sophomore catcher Michael Papierski had the day off. Following his game-tying and game-winning singles in Game 1,

Offense shines in Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic BY MARC STEVENS @ Marc_TDR After a disappointing 3-0 loss to No. 9 Arizona to start to the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic on Friday, the No. 4 LSU softball team responded with fourstraight wins to close out the tournament. The Tigers’ (8-2) offense led the way as the squad plated 37 runs in the four-game stretch after being stifled by the Wildcats (8-3). “They can manufacture runs,” said LSU coach Beth Torina. “They have the capability of winning in a lot of different ways … We saw that from them this weekend.” LSU’s personnel allows Torina to match up lineups with the different looks the Tigers’ opponents give them, the fifth-year coach said. She was complimentary of the hot start the freshmen had this weekend. Arguably, the tournament’s most outstanding rookie was outfielder Amber Serrett. Torina has been consistently complimentary of Serrett calling her “special.” The Spring, Texas native went 5-for-7 at the plate with three RBIs in her three starts. The Tigers got the offense going against Bethune-Cookman, thrashing the Gauchos, 16-2. Saturday’s slate was more competitive, but LSU still swept University of California-Santa Barbara, 5-2, and No. 15 Central Florida, 6-5. LSU capped off the weekend with a dominant 10-5 win against No. 8 UCLA on Sunday.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Lady Tigers upset No. 24 Tennessee on two game-winning free throws BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR The Lady Tigers celebrated junior forward Alexis Hyder’s game-winning free throws on the court after their upset of No. 24 Tennessee, 57-56, in the PMAC on Sunday. As Hyder walked to the free throw line, all she could think was “first one ties, second one wins it.” Sophomore guard Jenna Deemer whispered

“Redeem yourself 20” to the junior forward. Just a few minutes earlier, Hyder gave Tennessee the opportunity to take the lead by a point with just under three minutes remaining in the game with an inopportune foul. “I owe my team that,” Hyder said. “They really kept me in it. I really thought I lost it for them, and I would be sick had we lost this game. I’m really glad that they were there for me because

I was in ‘La-La’ land for a second and they didn’t allow me to go.” The Lady Tigers (9-18, 3-11 Southeastern Conference) not only broke their six-game losing streak but also ended a fourgame skid against Tennessee (1611, 7-7 SEC) in the PMAC. LSU’s last win against the Lady Vols at home came on Feb. 26, 2009, which also marked the last time an unranked LSU team beat a ranked Tennessee squad. Throughout the 2016 season,

the Lady Tigers struggled defensively and offensively while battling injuries. “I really think the best part of this win is that this has been a season where their character has been tested,” said LSU coach Nikki Fargas. “When adversity hits, who are we? We have been tough and you can’t just check LSU off. You have to have a game plan and you have to execute it.” LSU fought through a backand-forth affair, which featured

five lead changes and five ties, to earn its first win against a ranked opponent this season. LSU grabbed the lead against Tennessee in the first quarter, 12-10. The lead helped the Lady Tigers secure a stronger second quarter as senior forward Akilah Bethel led with 12 rebounds, a new career-high for the Maryland native. Bethel also contributed nine

students, but I didn’t realize how much they loved him. I can’t say how much that outpouring of love and respect meant to me and to him and the rest of the family.” The decision to donate to the

American Cancer Society was unanimous, Law Center cheer captain Brittany Root said. The school was already considering donating to charity because many students have loved ones affected by cancer. When Joseph

Monday, February 22, 2016 passed away in December, the decision was solidified, Root said. The game, made up of four 12-minute quarters, kicked off shortly before 1 p.m. The students were split into two teams, Purple and Gold. A draft was held in the beginning of January to decide the teams. “Negotiating with law students is pretty impractical and nearly impossible,” said student event commissioner and Gold team captain Taylor Hunter. “We keep it as level as can be, but it’s still pretty competitive.” To prepare for the event, the teams practiced for a month and a half at an indoor facility, Hunter said. The teams practiced Monday through Friday for two hours, getting in shape for the game. “None of us are Cam Newtons out here, so we’re all trying to get back into it,” Purple team captain Colin Hotard said. The players ranged from having high school or college experience in sports to having none at all. The commentators helped set the lighthearted mood for the afternoon by poking fun at the players and at the idea of law students playing football. A cheerleading squad, made up of Law Center students, performed before the game and at halftime. The squad practiced four to five times a week for a month and a half before the bowl, cheer captain Kimberly

Ulasiewicz said. The routines were choreographed by the cheer captains, with help from former LSU cheerleader Heidi Thompson, who is now a professor at the Law Center. Despite being law students, Ulasiewicz said, they still find time to practice for the event. “You have to make time for what you want to make time for, and this is one of the most fun events of the year, so people tend to make time for it because it’s a really good memory to have,” Ulasiewicz said. “Plus you keep the uniform for life.” Preparation for the event, which was sponsored by Campus Federal, started about six months in advance, Hunter said. To host the event, a field had to be secured, along with field insurance, officials, an on-site EMS and a sports physician. Pads and helmets were donated by local high schools, and jerseys were purchased from Red Stick Sports. Following the game, an auction was held at Bogie’s Bar from 8-10 p.m. Auction items, such as a four-person dinner at Tsunami, were donated by professors and students. Proceeds from the auction, as well as half the door proceeds, went to charity. The Gold team won 16-8. Between auction and game revenue, the Bowl raised more than $8,000 for the American Cancer Society.

DUNN, from page 1 excellent the University student is running for office. Though unusual in this day and age, Heck said it is not unprecedented for young citizens to act upon political aspirations. Heck said he believes voter apathy causes a lack of participation from the millennial demographic. After serving a long term as the youngest Council member, he said he anticipates a youthful energy having “a seat at the table.” Though Dunn plans to run on an independent platform, Heck said the Metro Council does not harp on party affiliations. Rather, they work to “get stuff done,” he said. “I think a lot of that

partisanship doesn’t really exist,” he said. “I can tell you, behind closed doors, it doesn’t, at least on the local level.” In regard to Dunn’s stance on marijuana, Heck said he comes from the “very libertarian” sector of the Republican Party, which is neither for or against marijuana. If Dunn fills the District 12 vacancy on election day, he said he will remain in college to finish his marketing degree so he can continue learning how to promote himself. His next step would involve running for mayor. Dunn said he believes he has a chance at success. “If I surround myself with people who can help me, we could make anything happen,” he said.

Jeb Bush’s failures prove Citizens United isn’t a major deal Smash the Hate

Jack Richards @jayellrichy If there was ever a “frat bro” candidate, former Florida Gov. and now former presidential candidate Jeb “Jeb!” Bush had the title locked down. He boasted about his fantasy football team’s record in a televised debate and sold shirts in his campaign store reading about how his dad is “the greatest man I’ve ever known and if you don’t think so we can step outside.” What put him squarely in the kegger club, though, was his ability to tap his wealthy acquaintances for vast sums of money. Bush had an ungodly amount of money at his fingertips and wasn’t afraid to spend it to get what few votes he received. According to a report

from the Campaign Finance Institute, Bush’s SuperPACs raised a total of $118 million dollars through the end of 2015. This January, the Bushsupporting SuperPAC Right to Rise USA spent $34.5 million and $22 million in February, outstripping nearly every other PAC in the race. Despite all that money, Bush placed 6th in Iowa, 4th in New Hampshire and 4th in South Carolina. The “poor” guy didn’t have a chance in a race where outsiders dominate. His candidacy should be a lesson to reactionary liberals and conservatives alike who decry the results of the Citizens United and Speechnow Supreme Court decisions. Just because people can finally exercise their freedom of speech to the fullest extent does not mean democracy is gone. Much of the rhetoric in support of overturning Citizens United comes from

Democrats, amplified by presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. He consistently rails against the current structure of campaign finance in the United States. If Sanders was right in his doomsday proclamations about the corrupting effects of big money in politics, Bush would’ve placed higher in every state. He spent the most money per vote of any candidate when considering outside money and still bombed. It’s because, although there is a lot more money in play, many campaigns do not get a good return on their investment. These SuperPACs don’t hire bad consultants, either. The laws surrounding the Citizens United and Speechnow decisions make it difficult for political campaigns to run a tight ship. Campaign finance in the Citizens United era is extremely inefficient from a management standpoint.

Campaigns are legally prohibited from controlling how outside money supporting their candidate is spent, making a coordinated strategy next to impossible. Imagine if Wal-Mart got a large part of its money from outside sources, but couldn’t make decisions about where that money would go. Both Wal-Mart and the outside financiers would waste loads of cash duplicating efforts and missing things altogether. As an example, the “Jeb!” campaign has little warning on which television stations and at what times Right to Rise USA will show attack ads. So, commercial from the “Jeb!” campaign and one from a SuperPAC might both air during the latest episode of “How to Get Away with Murder.” I’m not saying money doesn’t corrupt, but if the Federal Election Commission enforces the campaign finance

Obama’s absence at Scalia’s funeral inexcusable, disappointing The Cerulean Conciliator Justin DiCharia @JDiCharia Vice President Joe Biden is the man you send to pick up your kids from kindergarten, not fill in for you at a Supreme Court justice’s funeral. Granted, I am a Joe Biden fan. However, my point is President Barack Obama should have attended U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral mass on Saturday. Press Secretary in the White House Office of Communications Josh Earnest offered a lackluster excuse for the president’s absence during a press conference Thursday, stating Obama’s security detail would be disruptive to the service. Obama’s security detail did not stop him from attending Ted Kennedy’s, Walter Cronkite’s and Nelson Mandela’s funeral services, among others. Now Obama is not the first president to be absent from the funeral

tool for peace. If Obama had legitimate reasons, which have yet to be seen, then I completely understand his absence, but sending Biden as his emissary for such a respected national icon creates the perception that the president cannot put

political differences aside. While I disagreed with many of Scalia’s political views and judicial rulings, I respected the man immensely for his ability to understand and consider opposing views and then put those differences aside outside the courtroom. One of his best friends was Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal lioness disagreeing with Scalia on almost every SCOTUS ruling. Whether Obama meant to snuff Scalia and conservatives doesn’t even matter because in the political arena perception is reality, and the reality Obama formed is one where he could not find the time of day to pay respects to an American who dedicated his life to civil service. By no means would I consider Scalia a moderate conservative, and moderation is what this country needs, but doesn’t seem to understand. Extremists like Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump surge in the polls by playing on the heartstrings of angry voters.

Although Scalia’s views were pretty far right, they were based on his strict adherence to the original meaning of the Constitution, and he was able to amicably discuss his views with liberal justices on the court. He didn’t shut down the government like Cruz, blame billionaires for the world’s problems like Sanders or trash minorities like Trump. Obama’s presence at Scalia’s funeral mass would have shown the world that despite political differences, the president respected the justice’s civil service, love for country and calm in the face of opposition. No matter where one’s beliefs fall on the political spectrum, the nation should emulate Scalia’s respect for his political adversaries. Obama had the chance to further Scalia’s legacy as a peaceful dissenter, but he dropped the ball and sent Biden in his stead.

UPSET, from page 3

Romero blasted the first pitch he saw over the left-center field wall in the bottom of the fifth inning, the second of LSU’s back-to-back home runs in the frame. After a humbling set of practices in the fall, Romero, who was 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs on the weekend, came back in the spring with a new perspective, he said. “The way my fall went wasn’t how I expected,” Romero said. “My whole life, I’ve been a good hitter. I’ve never had any problems with that. This fall, I hit a little rough patch. In any aspect in life, I think going through things like that is good because mentally you become stronger and you learn from what you were doing wrong. If you have that determination to keep churning forward, good things will happen.” Despite the offensive surge arriving late, productive starting pitching proved to be the one constant among LSU’s three victories against the Bearcats. The three starting Tiger hurlers combined to strikeout 21 batters, underlined by right-handed sophomore Alex Lange’s one-hit, nine-strikeout performance on Saturday. Although junior lefty Jared Poche’ didn’t record the win, leaving in the top of the seventh of Game 1 with a 3-1 deficit, he recorded five strikeouts despite little run support in his season debut. In his first start in an LSU uniform, left-handed senior John Valek III settled in nicely after a two-run first inning, retiring 13 of the next 15 Cincinnati hitters he faced. Not regarded as a punch-out pitcher, the senior Akron transfer struck out seven and didn’t allow a walk. Valek did surrender two solo homers in the top of the sixth. However, the pair of dingers didn’t matter, as the Tiger offense plowed forward, padding their lead to 12-4 by the end of the bottom of the sixth. “I was trying to calm myself down [before the game], but you obviously don’t know how you’re going to feel until you’re actually out there on the mound,” Valek said. “That first inning, I was going a little too fast. But once I got in here and settled down in the dugout and took a breather, then the rest of the game I felt fine.”

points alongside Deemer. While junior guard Rina Hill added another eight points. Hyder led the Lady Tigers with 17 points. Hyder made nine of her 11 free throws, the last two resulting in the victory with just three seconds left. LSU held a 28-18 halftime lead after a 12-0 run by the Lady Tigers late in the second quarter. The third quarter was a backand-forth tournament as LSU and the Lady Vols exchanged the lead twice and knotted two ties. Deemer pulled two back-to-back three-point shots with an assist and steal from Hill, to take back the Lady Tigers’ lead, 39-35. The fourth quarter was

OFFENSE, from page 3 The Tigers secured an early lead with nine of its 10 runs coming in the second, third and fourth innings. After the fourth, the squad had built a 9-2 lead the Bruins (7-3) wouldn’t be able to rally from. UCLA was able to earn back two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth back, but the deficit proved too much for the team from Los Angeles. Torina’s squad had three players notch multiple hits and RBIs, while five more recorded a hit. Senior infielder Sandra Simmons, junior infielder Constance Quinn and Serrett each tallied two hits and two RBIs to lead the LSU offense. Even though the offense averaged 9.25 runs through the four wins, defensive struggles allowed the Tigers’ opposition to score, something the team will look at in practice, according to Torina. “We made some mistakes we need to clean up there on the defensive side,” Torina said.

highly contested until Hyder’s free throws sealed the deal. LSU held a 14-9 free throw advantage over Tennessee. The win served as a treat for the Lady Tigers as they have faced many hardships this season, one being a loss of players due to injury. “We were excited,” Bethel said. “After you go through what we’ve gone through I don’t think this could’ve played out any crazier, this whole season in general, with some people not coming back, injuries, and everything. ... It just feels good that all the work that you’ve put in, regardless of our obstacles, that we pulled out the ‘W.’” In the words of Bethel, the team was “turnt.” “[The Big League Dream Complex] is definitely a tough place to play defense, but it’s something that we’ve got to keep working on.” Sophomore pitcher Carley Hoover did enough to earn her fourth win of 2016, before being replaced by sophomore Allie Walljasper in the sixth inning. Hoover allowed a season-high 12 hits and five earned runs. She struck out seven of the 29 batters she faced. Walljasper came in after Hoover allowed UCLA to cut the Tiger lead to just four. The sophomore allowed just one hit in relief while striking out two batters. “Walljasper was fantastic,” Torina said. “In really big spots, she was able to shut the door [on opponents]. I thought she was just phenomenal.” After notching a 4-1 mark on the weekend, Torina and her squad will return to the friendly confines of Tiger Park to face South Alabama at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
