Two women killed in Cottages shooting, residents fear for safety of popular gated community
Petition to be delivered to Alexander, Governor BY ROSE VELAZQUEZ @Rosee_Vee
BY CAITIE BURKES | @caitie1221 Sunday’s killings of two Southern University students brought a wave of shock to residents of The Cottages of Baton Rouge, an off-campus community considered out of harm’s way by many. Despite its gated entrance and virtually nonexistent history of violence, yesterday morning’s police cars and ambulances cast doubt on the safety of LSU students who call the residential area home. “You live in a gated community to feel safe, and you don’t feel safe when something like this happens,” said
Cottages resident and construction management junior Logan Vaughn. Non-student resident Jordan Levine said he and his roommates assumed The Cottages was one of the safer areas to live. “You never really hear about that kind of stuff happening here,” Levine said. Mass communication freshman Peyton Short was on her way back from formal when she first heard news of the incident. Though she does not live in The Cottages, Short said she spends
a significant amount of time there. “I just want to know more information about it,” she said. “It’s so random and crazy that I want to know why it happened and what was going on.” Communication disorders sophomore Alex Jackson said the addition of a basketball court in The Cottages complex increased the prevalence of crime in the area. The court has “caused a lot of problems,” including nonresidents coming through the gates on a normal basis, she said. Construction management junior

On Monday at 9 a.m., supporters of Tiger Band director Roy King, who was recently placed on administrative leave, plan to march from the Lod Cook Alumni Center to LSU President F. King Alexander’s office to deliver a change.org petition titled “Support Roy King #istandwithroy #bandwithroy,” which has more than 1,300 signatures. Former Tiger Band drum major Mary Bahlinger, who graduated in May 2015, has organized the event in hopes that it will help King keep his job because his supporters feel that he and the band have been “wronged.” Though Bahlinger acknowledged she does not have all of the specifics surrounding the administrative action, she said King has been open about the fact that the LSU School of Music has been after the money the band receives from LSU Athletics for “a long time.” “Everybody’s going to have a different take on Roy King, but my personal experience is that he will do whatever it takes to support all and any of his students in whatever they need to help them do their job,” Bahlinger said. “He

Former Tiger Kaufman finishes 29th in the Masters BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR
Fourteen months ago, former LSU star Smylie Kaufman had recently returned from Panama City, Panama, after competing in Web.com Tour’s annual Panama Claro Championship, only to hop on a plane headed toward Los Angeles. The City of Angels embodied hope for Kaufman, as did many other qualifying tournaments to seal himself a spot on the PGA Tour. Kaufman, unblinded by the professional tour’s bright spotlight, opened at 2-under par at the
Farmers Insurance Open as he continued looking for more upcoming PGA Tour-credentialed tournaments. “I know that I just have to keep getting better, developing my game and the results will keep coming,” Kaufman told The Daily Reveille on Feb. 11, 2015. Sunday night, Kaufman found himself playing alongside 2015 Masters Champion Jordan Spieth in golf’s most prestigious 18 holes at Augusta National Golf Club. “I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing,” Kaufman said after round 3 on Saturday afternoon. “Today was a good day.” After a 3-under par, 69,
show-stealing round on 54 holes, Kaufman was one stroke behind Spieth, but slipped on Sunday — 9-over par through 18 holes — in one of the more amicably-received stumbles Baton Rouge-bred golf has ever seen. Given his age and experience, the slip from the top wasn’t careerthreatening for the 24-year-old Masters rookie. “My dream was just to play here,” Kaufman said after the third round. “Now that I’ve won Vegas and got in, now it’s the real thing. Let’s see what happens.” What happened was Kaufman,

would be the ones affected the most by it.” At 10 a.m., the group will meet a second time on the steps of the state Capitol to deliver the same petition to Gov. John Bel Edwards. So far, the “Roy King Rally” Facebook event shows 99 people are interested and 35 plan on attending. But with the “TIGER BAND FANS FOR ROY” Facebook group having garnered almost 2,500 members, Bahlinger said it is difficult to gauge how many alumni, students, band members and fans may actually show up. When Bahlinger joined that Facebook group around 5 p.m. on Wednesday, shortly after the news was announced, she said it had around 100 members. By 9 p.m., she said there were more than 1,500 people in it. On Thursday, several group members posted email address for higher-ups both at the University and in the state government. Bahlinger said so many people sent emails encouraging those officials to protect King’s job that they “crashed the servers.” She described the overall support for King from the University and alumni community as “incredible.” “Anyone who meets Roy King knows that he loves the band. That’s what he does. That’s not just his job, that’s who he his. That type of energy and that type of love just feeds to other people,” Bahlinger said. “I think everybody — not just alumni but other people, businesses, other Tigerband alumni — when they do meet him, they know it without ever having to say it.”

LSU sees mixed reviews in Green Wave Invitational

baseball at this school,” Mainieri said Saturday night. “Every so often, it gets under our skin a little bit when everybody starts [to] take for granted our level of success. It’s like we have to constantly be proving ourselves.” But even he knows what a series win against No. 6 Vanderbilt could do for the credibility of this year’s youthful squad. In his mind, though, Saturday’s 3-2, series-clinching win wasn’t a statement victory. It was affirmation of what he already believed to be true.
The No. 12-ranked LSU beach volleyball team’s presence at the Green Wave Invitational at the White Sands Volleyball Courts this weekend was marked by two startlingly different performances on April 8 and 9. LSU defeated Houston Baptist and No. 18 Tulane on the first day of the competition and advanced to an 11-4 record. “It was a bit of a crazy day,” said LSU coach Russell Brock in a press release Friday. “We didn’t play our best throughout, but we played well enough to get these two wins. We need to make sure we win matches and sets that are tight. To win against Tulane at their place is always going to be tough.” LSU dominated matches against Houston Baptist with all pairs winning in straight sets. Carly Morris and Cheyenne Wood won with scores of 21-15 and 21-19. With scores of 2114 and 21-18, duo Callan Molle and Riley Young beat Houston Baptist. The Lady Tigers didn’t stop there.

BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri is often aware of public perception of his teams, especially in a year when his No. 15 Tigers haven’t breezed through their schedule. In fact, he’ll acknowledge that talk of the team taking a step back after a sub-.500 mark to start conference play can be vexing. “We’ve got a pretty rich history and tradition in

LSU conquers rankings in Battle of the Bayou meet
BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR
The LSU track and field teams conquered the top 10 national rankings when five athletes made the list after competing at the Battle of the Bayou at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium on Saturday. The Tigers and Lady Tigers earned 19 personal-best scores and four event wins, spearheading the SEC against teams in Saturday’s competition in Baton Rouge. “It’s always fun to be a part of a meet like this where you have a smaller field with five or six teams like we had here today and score it out conference against conference,” said coach Dennis Shaver in a news release on Saturday. LSU senior Chanice Chase, junior Morgan Schuetz, junior
Jada Martin, junior Tinashe Mutanga and sophomore Kymber Payne headlined the invitational. In her season opener, Schuetz competed in both the 1,500-meter and 800-meter races. She clocked in the NCAA’s top five in the 800 meters with a time of 2:04.33 to finish third overall after winning her heat. Before her performance in the 800-meter race, Schuetz finished the 1,500 meter race in 4:24.14. Martin posted a time of 23.06 seconds for a second-place finish in the 200-meter dash, which levels her in the national rankings. Chase, an All-American, accomplished two of the fastest hurdle times in the nation in 13.04 seconds in the women’s 100-meter hurdles and finished in second place. The Canada native moved
into the third spot, when she accomplished a season-best time of 56.66 seconds to win the women’s 400 hurdles event. Payne, too, cracked the top 10 in the 400-meter hurdles when she ran a career-best of 57.33 seconds to tie for the No. 6 spot in the NCAA’s rankings on the event. Other Lady Tigers to leave the invitational with personalbests were freshman Rachel Misher (23.17), junior Rushell Harvey (23.21), junior Kiersten Duncan (23.28) and sophomore Mikiah Brisco (23,52)—all in the 200-meter dash. Harvey also achieved a personal-best in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.33 seconds. The Lady Tiger 4x100-meter relay team of freshman

“It showed that we’re capable of beating good teams,” Mainieri said. “Vanderbilt is a good team, but we think we’re a good team. I’ve got all the respect in the world for them. But we’re not afraid of them — we’re not afraid of any team. We’re LSU.” Despite Vanderbilt eluding the sweep with a late run surge Sunday, the first series win against the Commodores since 2005 was achieved with two vastly different results: a 13-4 blowout on Thursday and a 3-2 pitcher’s duel on Friday. On Thursday, the Tigers were opportunistic with less than two outs from the jump, scratching two runs across on junior center fielder Jake Fraley’s RBI fielder’s choice in the first inning and sophomore catcher Michael Papierski’s RBI sacrifice fly in the second. The Tiger bats erupted in third, sending 11 batters to the plate in the course of tacking on seven runs on six hits. Sophomore first baseman Greg Deichmann hammered a double off the center-field wall and sophomore left fielder Beau Jordan launched a two-run home run three at-bats later. Junior second baseman Cole Freeman tallied the final extra base hit in the frame with a runscoring triple into the left-field corner. The Tigers’ 15-hit night highlighted one of three double-digit hit performances, combining for 36 total hits and 23 runs against a pitching staff with the second best ERA in the Southeastern Conference. “Offensively, I thought it was a great weekend in terms of us being able to handle above-average pitching,” said hitting coach Andy Cannizaro Sunday evening.
“Us being able to handle real velocity for three straight days.” That offensive burst was more than enough for junior lefty Jared Poche’, as he cruised through seven innings of scoreless baseball with eight strikeouts. Poche’ allowed just four hits — only one after the third inning — and allowed only one leadoff hitter to reach the basepaths. Unlike Poche’, sophomore right-hander Alex Lange found himself in trouble from the opening at-bat, conceding a solo home run off the bat of Vanderbilt leadoff hitter Ro Coleman. Lange was then forced to pitch around two walks to escape the frame, but he settled in the second inning. After the two-out walk in the first, Lange retired 14 of the next 15 batters, notching five of his nine strikeouts during that period, before another solo home run in the sixth. Still, Lange struck out the final two batters of that inning and left the game with one out in the seventh, holding on to a 3-2 lead. That’s when junior reliever Hunter Newman stepped in and was equally effective, if not more so, than Lange. Newman punched out six of 10 batters he faced over the final 2.2 innings of the game, contributing to a five-hit performance with Lange. With the series win already in the Tigers’ back pocket Saturday, Lange echoed his coach’s sentiment about LSU affirming its capabilities. “It’s a big morale booster,” Lange said Saturday night. “It’s a big confidence booster. It’s showing all these young guys that we can do it, and it’s not just a bunch of talk. … This team is capable of going far and doing some damage in this thing. It’s pretty fun that they’re buying into it and figuring it out.”

Proposed tailgating changes are detrimental to study body’s voice HARP ON IT JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin Let’s talk about tailgating. The policies the University may enforce should concern anyone who has participated in and enjoyed football festivities in the fall, y’all. Last week, I made fun of various reactions from people within the LSU community toward the proposed tailgating rules. Funny thing is, some of the jokes I made have a bit of truth to them. If you don’t care about tailgating or football, that’s OK. I know a lot of cool cats who don’t, but I know a lot more equally cool cats who do. LSU played its first football game on November 25, 1893. Nearly 123 years later, the culture of football has become infused with the University’s DNA. Whether or not we care to admit it, we are a football university, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Tailgating on campus is a historic tradition many students’ parents and
THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES
Proposed University tailgating policies could limit furniture use and access to alcohol on gamedays. grandparents have participated in. It’s a tradition many students themselves participate in every single year. These proposed rules opt to change how alcohol is consumed by students on game days. If enforced, home football games will likely never be the same. I’m not saying getting blackout wasted is essential to enjoy a Saturday night in Death Valley. However, it does make it slightly more enjoyable for those of us who are legally able to do so. It also helps me because I literally know nothing about football aside from the cheers and chants I’m supposed to do. Whether these rules are practical and can feasibly be enforced is another discussion. What’s
apparent is the immediate effect they have on students from every social circle. The thing is, as concerning as I find the proposals, I’m more disappointed by the divisive reactions from students. Some students are turning this into a Greeks vs. non-Greeks situation. Word on Twitter is a lot of students in Greek life have the opinion these proposed rules unfairly target Greek organizations. Considering there’s a rule regarding furniture on the parade grounds — aka those questionably stained couches at fraternity tailgates we’ve all sat on once or twice — I think they have a valid point. There’s a word for when a law or rule is using language
to directly or indirectly target a particular group of people: discrimination. I know we millennials love to preach about discrimination, and rightfully so. We tell it like it is and stick up for the underdogs when they’re picked on. But why is it that a lot of nonGreek students are having difficulty saying that these rules obviously target Greek students? No one seems to have any trouble pointing out recently passed legislation in Mississippi and North Carolina targeting the LGBT community under the guise of “religious liberty.” The words for this are: double standard. I get there’s a huge argument against tailgating because it
allegedly excludes minorities, and to that I say, “Hogwash.” Though something does need to be done about those horrible, purple and gold confederate flags. A tailgate is a lot like a house party. Do you expect to be invited to a party if you’ve never bothered talking to the host? It’s not frowned upon to be friends with Republicans, y’all. Intermingling is fun. Try it sometime. Instead of starting petty fights on Twitter over whether Greek students are oppressed, we should be working together as a student body to voice our concerns. These rules suck for all students and questionably target Greek students. As a non-Greek who has had the pleasure of attending many diverse tailgating functions, I hope the student body can address the blatant targeting of these proposals. Here’s a radical idea for you millennials: maybe after we work together to solve this issue, we can do something about this darn budget deficit.

Streamlining Louisiana’s bureaucracy is a step toward the people’s will THE CERULEAN CONCILIATOR JUSTIN DICHARIA @JDiCharia Louisiana has 485 government boards and commissions. It’s the Amazon rainforest of bureaucracy, and for a state so red that it took a prostitution scandal to put a Democrat in state office, an inconsistent reality to a Republican ideology. For the past eight years, Democrats have lost major statewide elections in a referendum on big government, yet hundreds of commissions and boards remain. Following a contentious legislative special session in February, where government spending underwent microscopic investigations in an attempt to stop votes on tax increases, Rep. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, has taken a baby step toward
reducing the state’s bureaucratic conglomerate. Broadwater’s bill, HB842, looks to close four higher education boards — the Executive Board of Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium for Research and Education (LUMCON), the MediFund Board, the LA Tuition Trust Authority (LATTA) and the Louisiana Student Financial Assistance Commission — placing them under the purview of the Board of Regents. The consolidation does not save the state any money, however. The U.S. Department of Education provides federal dollars for the programs Broadwater hopes to throw under the Board of Regents, but the DOE has to approve these administrative changes to continue providing those funds. Without federal approval, The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance, or LOSFA, would then subsequently lose funding, and the state would

have to dish out $4.1 million from the state general fund to fill the gap. It’s doubtful the bill would even make it out of the House Education Committee if the DOE rejects Broadwater’s proposal, but the precedent of streamlining Louisiana’s bureaucracy is paramount. Gov. John Bel Edwards and legislators eye the 2017 general session as they prepare structural changes to Louisiana’s tax code, including income taxes, sales taxes, tax credits, incentives and exemptions. Streamlining the tax system and possibly raising income taxes on the wealthy won’t survive a Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee without reducing the 485 state boards and commissions, and diminishing a tangled web of bureaucratic chaos isn’t a bad thing. The state may not save money through Broadwater’s bill, but

Monday, April 11, 2016 noticed a difference.” Though BRPD arrested Ernest Bernard Felton, 22, on Sunday night in relation to the shooting, circumstances surrounding the “previous altercation,” which a BRPD news release stated initiated the exchange of gunfire, remain unclear. A pre-med junior, who wished to remain anonymous, said he saw a party of about 200 Southern University students across the street from his apartment. After walking around the area, he said he heard two people talking about the shooting. He said he heard a “car full of girls” tried to leave the party, but another car was not allowing them to leave. “Some dude was like, ‘Oh, I’ll show you who’s boss,’ and pulled out an assault rifle and started shooting people,” he said.
COTTAGES, from page 1 Riley Rea agreed, saying “a lot of aggressive basketball and fights” happen in the area, and he does not feel as safe as he did before. However, three-year resident and mass communication senior Jazmine Foxworth, a previous employee of The Daily Reveille, said she has not noticed any major changes in The Cottages community since the basketball court’s arrival. “Nothing like that has happened here. I shouldn’t expect for that to happen in this kind of community,” said Foxworth, a former Cottages employee. “I haven’t really noticed anything, but I guess things have changed.

The Daily Reveille KAUFMAN, from page 1 a Vestavia Hills, Alabama, native, finished 7-over par for the tournament to finish tied for 29th — a $71,000 payday. He told the Baton Rouge Advocate he had his “worst putting day ever.” The 29th-place finish, though, marks Kaufman’s best finish in a major championship after missing the cut in the 2014 U.S. Open following his senior season at LSU. Kaufman, to many Tiger fans’ delight, repped his specialty purple polo to remind the Louisiana folks of his college days, along with swinging his Cleveland clubs with a purple and gold “#7 for Heisman” stamped on the club’s face. “Get that jacket,” LSU running back Leonard Fournette tweeted to Kaufman on Saturday night. “And now my day is officially made,” Kaufman replied. Although Kaufman jokes that LSU football can be the “toughest thing in the world to watch,” he told the The Daily Reveille last fall that he gives LSU immense credit for his success to his experiences

page 7 as a Tiger. “I learned things from LSU that I would not of learned anywhere else,” Kaufman said. Kaufman said the uplifting challenges posed at LSU, against and beside his teammates, positioned him for his recent success and a competitive showing
at Augusta. “That’s something we all took pride in,” Kaufman said before Sunday’s round. “We wanted to have the best golf team that we could in college. The guys that I was surrounded by in college made me tougher and want to be better.”

The women’s 4x400 relay team, with junior Travia Jones, Martin, Misher and Chase, won in 3:33.84. “It was a great meet today,” Shaver said.
