Depsite ankle injury, Fournette shines after weeks of recovery BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_
On a bum ankle, Leonard Fournette’s first game without Les Miles, the coach who gave him a scholarship, was unlike anything he’s done before. When Fournette made his return in LSU’s 38-21 win against Ole Miss, he made a statement: a single-game, program-high 284 rushing yards, eclipsing Alley Broussard’s 250 yards in 2004 against the Rebels. In his first game under LSU coach Ed Orgeron, Fournette was still recovering from a high and low ankle sprain and a bone bruise, he revealed Saturday night. After sitting out for three weeks, Fournette said he gained weight and would call for junior running back Darrel Williams to relieve him every other
play to catch his breath. “I was telling Darre ‘Come get in the game,’” Fournette said. To Orgeron, he still looked like college football’s best player. “I’ve never been a part of a player like Leonard, to be honest with you,” Orgeron said. “He’s dynamic. I believe he’s the best player in the country.” And to think, everyone wanted LSU’s junior tailback to sit out his junior season, he said. But he didn’t. Fournette loves football too much to follow the narrative of sitting out his junior season, engraving his spot as a top selection in 2017’s NFL Draft. “Man, when I tell you that was one of the hardest things of my life,” Fournette

As temperatures begin to drop, Baton Rouge area shelters see an influx of people coming to stay the night and a shortage of resources. The LSU School of Social Work is asking for blanket donations through the Help the Shelters blanket collection drive, which began Monday, Oct. 17 and will continue through Friday, Dec. 9. “With winter around the corner, it’s imperative that people in our community donate much-needed items to support homeless citizens,” School of Social Work director and professor Wesley Church said. There’s more than one way the public can donate. People can either buy a twin size blanket online and ship it to Church or drop off a blanket at one of several locations on campus. Collection locations include the third flood of the Huey P. Long Field House, the dean’s office of Peabody Hall and the lobbies of Patrick F. Taylor Hall, the Student Union and Middleton Library. Church said the blanket drive started last year and donated 200 blankets to three shelters, Youth Oasis, Capital Area Alliance for the Homeless and Society of St. Vincent de Paul. “People don’t really think

University alumna discusses career path, mental health
BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker
The University welcomed back one of its own on Friday to discuss her path from one field of science to another and her promotion of mental health as a spokeswoman in her community. Dr. Leanne Truehart, a University alumna, is a practicing psychiatrist and mental health advocate. However, it was the calculated, formulaic world of physics, not psychology, that
first captured her interest. Truehart began her lecture by describing how her fascination with space and existential curiosity was originally what led her to want to pursue a career in astronomy, which is why she majored in physics at the University. Later in her academic career she saw the appeal of medical school, and once she found psychiatry, she never looked back. “I did a rotation in psychiatry, and it just blew me
out the water. I loved it. It was unbelievable and very interesting,” Truehart said. After completing a subinternship in her final year of medical school, Truehart entered a residency through the National Resident Matching Program. Truehart said that many of the major mental illnesses present themselves during the college years, a lot of times in what professionals call a “two-hit hypothesis.” The hypothesis involves the
genetic determinants combined with environmental factors that put people at risk for mental illness. Starting college is an extraordinarily stressful endeavor, which can be accelerated if young people are abusing drugs and alcohol, Truehart said. “Even still to this day, there is a feeling that mental illness is something that happens to other people,” Truehart said. “Or that if you’re educated enough, or if you come from

FOURNETTE, from page 1 said. “It was hard for me, especially when everybody wanted me to sit out. I could have, but when you really love football, it’s not about sitting out. I love going out there with guys like Jamal Adams. When I was hurt on the sidelines watching practice, I said, ‘I got to get better.’” For three weeks, Fournette watched on the sideline as LSU’s offense posted records in the Tigers two blowout wins. First against Missouri, 42-7, and a second time against Southern Miss 45-10 — in which LSU piled on a combined 601 yards of rushing offense. LSU’s proficiency on the ground through the two games made matters tougher for Fournette, who knew his skills could be showcased in the victories. “It was very hard, especially by the offense putting up so many points and knowing what I can do to contribute to help the team out,” Fournette said. While Fournette couldn’t practice or play with his teammates, he spent his free time in the gym working out and rehabbing the ankle he injured in LSU’s fall camp and re-injured against Auburn Sept. 24, he said. Fournette then lended a hand to running back coach Jabbar
Juluke as a self-converted running backs coach, aiding sophomore running back Derrius Guice lock down pass protection schemes and help prepare him for his starts. Guice filled Fournette’s role rushing for 486 yards and six touchdowns in the three games he started in place of Fournette — meriting comparisons between the two shifty and strong, big-play, able-bodied tailbacks. And that made Fournette angry. “The only thing that made me mad was when people try to compare me and Guice,” Fournette said. “Guice is a great back. With any team he would be doing the same thing he’s doing now. That’s my little brother. I hated that, and I don’t want any competition between us or nobody on the team. I treat everybody equal and they treat me equal.” During it all, Fournette said he received a text message from his mother that told him to keep his faith and not worry about his injury. Next up for LSU is a bye week, which Fournette said should give him time to rest before LSU’s scheduled matchup against No.1 Alabama Nov. 5. “Our confidence is high,” Fournette said.

about giving out blankets in Louisiana because it’s usually warm and comfortable,” Church said. “People don’t realize how cold it can get during the winter months.” Church said he hopes the drive receives more donations than last year because it can increase the number of charity organizations the School of Social Work is able to donate to.
The School of Social Work aspires to be a leading graduate school of social work, a center of intellectual development, a leader in promoting and supporting diverse communities and an advocate for an integrated and inclusive model of social work. “I know that students don’t have a lot of money, but getting a blanket is an inexpensive way to give back to the community and to help the homeless,” Church said.

TIGERS and TIDE LSU, Alabama head into two-week prep for Nov. 5 duel BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ K.J. Malone is thinking about those guys again. “When do you start thinking about Alabama?” the Tiger lineman was asked during a postgame interview after LSU dashed for 311 rushing yards in its 38-21 win against Ole Miss. “Right now,” he answered. “Right after the game.” Malone and LSU will have two weeks of preparation under an undefeated interim head coach to face who’s next: No. 1 Alabama. “We’re going to be very excited to play a very good football team,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Saturday. “We’re going to be up for the challenge. It’s going to be a physical football game. They have very good athletes. They are very well‐coached, but so are we.” The Crimson Tide have won five in a row against the Tigers. LSU hasn’t toppled the Tide since its 9-6, field goalsonly overtime win on Nov. 5, 2011. LSU, Alabama’s series featured six games since the Tigers’ last win, including Alabama’s 21-0 skunk of the Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 9, 2012. Senior linebacker Duke Riley added that he wouldn’t start thinking about the Crimson Tide until after LSU’s second bye week this month.

LSU moves up in AP, Coaches Poll after win vs. Ole Miss Tigers ranked No. 19, Ole Miss out of top 25
BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ LSU jumped four spots in the Amway Coaches Poll Sunday — from No. 23 prior to the Tigers’ 38-21 win against Ole Miss to No. 19. The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) also moved up six spots in Sunday’s weekly AP Poll release to No. 19 after Leonard Fournette’s
single-game program record of 284 rushing yards versus Ole Miss (3-4, 1-3 SEC), who has fallen out of the top 25. LSU fell out of the AP Poll after its Sept. 24 loss at Auburn and returned last week at No. 25 after its 45-10 pummeling of Southern Miss on Oct. 15. LSU’s next opponent, Alabama, is first in both polls. The undefeated Crimson Tide are set to travel to Baton Rouge on Nov. 5 and have won the previous five meetings against the Tigers.

Catcalling has to stop, women need to be treated with respect MYIA-PINION MYIA HAMBRICK @MyiaChristine Oh, catcalling. How is it 2016 and we still have a society that thinks it is acceptable to yell obscenities at female passersby? I have news for all of you: despite what you have been taught or told, it is not OK. Recently, I was walking home after an exhausting day. It was still daylight, so I felt more than comfortable walking alone. Then, two boys hiding behind the half-opened windows of their car yelled at me “Hey, beautiful,” and, of course, I ignored it. I continued to walk. A few minutes later, I was met with the same boys in the same car hiding behind the same half-open windows and heard, “Oh, there she is, hey! Hey! You too rude to respond?” Then they sped off and I made it to my home. To those boys: no, I am not too rude to respond. Personally, I think I am a ray of sunshine once I get to know someone properly. While I can be friendly in the right situations, I am still a self-respecting woman who values herself more than saying “Hey” to some boys hiding behind their half-open windows, especially in an incident that borders on stalking. In America, we are used to a society built upon the fact that men are entitled to women — in some cases, women are even considered to be men’s

I don’t think this makes any sense in a country where we have so many freedoms or in a society that is tolerant, for the most part. But there are places where experiences like mine can turn into something worse. For women in other places where
honor killings or marriage auctions are still the norm, simple words can lead to rape or worse. If America is striving to be the front-runner in production, economics, social freedoms and justice, we should learn to treat our women not as objects, but as people. People who have thoughts and
feelings. People who will stop and say hello if you approach them like a human being instead of something you like in a shop window. For those of you who are interested in “making America great,” perhaps we should start with correcting our societal imbalances instead of condoning those who promote
treating women as things to have instead of people to know. For those of you who are “with her” during this presidential election, how about standing with the millions of women in America and the billions throughout the world by treating women with respect. I will not stop dressing in a way I think looks good. I dress for myself, and if I want to be comfortable in leggings, I shouldn’t be worried about people yelling at me on the street regarding the way I look in them. I will never change the amount of makeup I wear because I want to avoid the hoots and hollers from boys who have no self control. I want to be able to walk around without worrying about being approached by strangers in offensive tones. So to the boys in the car who cat called me: What does this accomplish for you? Perhaps these people wouldn’t have to resort to yelling cheap words out of car windows to get a woman’s attention if they would treat the ones they do know with respect. I hope we are entering a day and age where catcalling and inappropriate language toward women becomes less of the norm and more of the exception. As for me, I guess I will continue to be considered rude and standoffish for being able to respect myself enough to not flaunt my body for every boy who passes by and whistles.

Access to education can empower women, young girls around the world ALL’S NAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair Education has always been my ticket to freedom. It comes with respect, income and power. If you can’t be the smartest person in the room, you can always strive to be the most educated, and that, in itself, is a power no one can take from you. This idea is one that drives hard-working, underprivileged, forgotten minority populations around the world to do whatever it takes to achieve higher levels of literacy. The right to an education is under-appreciated by many in first-world countries because it is so easily accessible. Education is a freedom and a privilege, one that so many girls
around the globe do not and will never have access to. This type of gender discrimination is destructive and disabling, and it comes with a cost to communities. Sixty-two million girls across the globe are not in school, something Michelle Obama has focused on since she launched her “Let Girls Learn” initiative last year. It’s a program that not only aims to provide quality education, but also educates against gender-based violence and child, early and forced marriage. The programs are empowering and teach young women leadership skills to help uplift them and their families. Our fellow women in other countries cannot get an education without fearing for their safety on the way to and at school. It is not the kind of safe space guarded by the red tape
and bureaucratic regulations we are used to in America. Every woman is responsible for her own safety, and no one is congratulating them for their attendance. In fact, women are often abused for wanting to receive an education because their gender roles do not allow for anything besides marriage and children. If you ask American teenagers what they think about the role of education in their lives, they’d probably tell you they don’t like school and are forced to learn things they don’t care about. The politics of American education have blinded us to the real value of it. Education on the other side of the world doesn’t mean standardized test anxiety or waking up at the crack of dawn to learn useless math. It means opportunity and a chance to break the cycle of everyday
helplessness that surrounds a woman’s existence in some developing nations. In rural Morocco, only 14 percent of women attend high school. In Liberia, where most families must live on less than $2 a day, a girl named Raphina Feelee dreams of becoming a nurse. She wakes up each morning to cook for her family, care for her siblings and works at a nearby market before going to school. These kinds of obstacles, in addition to the imposed danger of long commutes to school and most families not being able to afford school, are what stop young girls in developing nations from reaching their full potential. So, what does life look like for these girls if they aren’t attending school? Usually, they’re forced into marriage early and then spend the rest of their
lives having kids and taking care of their families. Living in a country with so many options and life paths, it’s easy to forget that women around the world are still living in fear of being persecuted for even thinking about freedom. The only thing any of us truly have complete control over is our minds. No one can tell us what to think or how to feel. No one can take away what we know. That is why education is so important to me and to the 62 million women without it. When all else fails, when you’re constantly told what you can and cannot do, your knowledge is your power. Every girl in the world deserves that inalienable right. Anjana Nair is an 18-year-old international studies sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

College athletes deserve compensation for play, practice time LYNNE YOU A HAND
LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 Any home football game at the University brings tailgating, partying and hours of cheering for our Tigers. But while the fans have a great time, the team faces enormous pressure to win the game. A player can’t go out and party all day, and they can’t get drunk or fill up on chips and dip. College athletes, especially Division I athletes, deserve to be paid for the time and energy they put into serving their school. Many argue college athletes don’t need to be paid because many of them receive athletic scholarships. However, only about 2 percent of high school athletes get an NCAA scholarship when they play
in college. If a college athlete does receive a scholarship, his or her only chance at having a full ride is playing Division I for one of the six “head-count” sports: football, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s gymnastics, volleyball or tennis. If they play another sport or are not Division I, their scholarship will likely be in a small denomination. If an athlete does not have a scholarship, they don’t get any kind of compensation for the hours they put into the team. College athletes spend more time practicing and playing than most students spend doing any other job or work study. An NCAA survey showed Division I men’s sports practiced for about 32-43 hours a week, while Division I women’s sports practiced for about 33-38 hours a week. A standard full-time job clocks

in at 40 hours per week, which means some college athletes spend more time practicing than people work at a full-time job. Overpracticing can put both a physical and mental strain on even the toughest athlete. These numbers are put in an even worse light when the amount of money universities make from college sports is taken into consideration. Universities can make millions of dollars from college athletics, and the students who play the sports are unable to make any kind of profit of their own. They can’t even sell things like autographs or other merchandise. I understand allowing players to sell merchandise could promote unethical behavior, but if a player spends the majority of his or her time working for nearly nothing, they need some way to make money without taking up more of their already precious time. Division I athletes are held to a high standard and are expected to put in extensive effort while balancing their schoolwork. Though many athletes seem to enroll in easier courses to take some of the pressure off, they can only relieve so much of the work.
College athletes are students like everyone else. If they are not on the fast track to a professional career, the sport they play takes a lot of time away from planning for the future. Though a student athlete may not care at the time, when graduation rolls around, they may realize they got little out of their collegiate career other than the enjoyment of playing a game. I do not believe every student athlete should be paid a salary that covers for all or even most of their tuition. I think they should get an
amount of money comparable to a work study or other campus job. I got paid to write this article, and student athletes deserve to be paid for the job they do. Even if they only get a little bit of money, college athletes should be rewarded for the endless hours they spend trying to make a name for the school they represent.

2016 World Series to be historic contest between Cubs, Indians BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR The last time the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series, 1908, sliced bread had yet to be invented. The Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs have waited a long time to experience the intense joy a trip to Major League Baseball’s World Series provides. The Indians and the Cubs — the participants in this year’s Fall Classic — both have an opportunity to end their historic championship droughts. The Indians have not claimed a World Championship since 1948, while the Cubs have not won the last game of the season since 1908, the longest active championship drought in professional sports. Now, two cities whose reputations are built on disappointing sporting seasons are hoping to shower their fanbases with the confetti and champagne that follow a championship parade. “There’s a lot of pent up

two weeks of prep, have to watch to scout the Tigers? Three double-digit wins under a new head coach and offensive coordinator — Orgeron and Steve Ensminger — who have consistently added wrinkles into LSU’s “new” offense. For example, multiple times against the Rebels, Fournette — who shattered LSU’s school
record for single-game rushing yards (284) on his first eight carries Saturday — lined offset in the I-formation with LSU’s slippery sophomore tailback Derrius Guice behind him as the lead ball carrier. “We tried to put him and Guice in at the same time,” Orgeron said. “Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. We wanted
Championship Series. The Indians scored a mere 12 runs in the American League Championship Series, and in turn, their bullpen had to work. The Indians’ bullpen has accounted for 32 and a third of the team’s 71 postseason innings. ALCS MVP Andrew Miller leads the Indians bullpen at a spectacular 1.67 earned runs average. Miller joined the Indians right before the trade deadline on Aug. 1, and the team could not be happier about its acquisition, players said. “We were looking for someone who could come in and compete in a big spot,” Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway told Ohio.com. “That’s why we went and got him.” In terms of pitching, the Cubs rely on a starting rotation, featuring All-Star Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks and 2015 Cy Young Winner Jake Arrieta. The World Series is not a new stage for Lester, who was previously on the Boston Red Sox’s 2007 and 2013 championship teams.
“Lester’s been lights out all year,” Cubs shortstop Addison Russell told USA Today Saturday. “To see his stuff get better game by game, pitch by pitch, inning by inning — it’s just been a tremendous ride.” The World Series will also provide an exciting matchup between two of baseball’s iconic managers. The series pits the brainy Cubs skipper Joe Maddon against two-time champion Terry Francona. “Francona is going to do everything he can to win that night’s game,” said Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer. “Joe [Maddon] manages the same way. I love that.” The Cubs will enter the Fall Classic with the hype that one would expect from a franchise that has been so bad for so long. The Indians will enter the same way they entered the postseason: overlooked by experts and pundits as the underdog. The World Series begins with a 7 p.m. first pitch Tuesday at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
to try it.” The Tide corralled Fournette to 31 yards on 19 carries last season. This season, Alabama has just four games of film to watch on Fournette, all of which are 100-yard games. Fournette’s lingering ankle injury, which outed him for three of LSU’s seven games, is a high and low ankle sprain with a bone bruise, he revealed Saturday night. Additionally, LSU was without Fournette’s “flashlight” against the Rebels as fullback J.D. Moore did not return to the game with a stinger, according to the LSU Sports Radio Network on Saturday. Moore was also removed from LSU’s 14-point loss against the Tide last season with a torn ACL, thus ending Moore’s
sophomore season. LSU’s scoring drives against the Rebels don’t give the Tide much too see, either. The Tigers featured touchdown drives of three plays, seven plays, two plays, one play and 11 plays en route to 515 total yards of offense against the Rebels. Three of LSU’s five touchdowns in three or fewer plays? That was unexpected, senior tight end Colin Jeter said. LSU’s offense prefers the quick scores, Malone added. “Oh, no,” he said of LSU’s win versus Ole Miss. “It’s always nice to have explosive plays like that … Those plays made the difference in the game.” To beat Alabama, flawlessness is necessary, Riley said. “You know, we’ve got to be perfect,” he said.

STUDENT LIFE
Take Back the Night brings awareness to domestic, sexual violence BY NATALIE ANDERSON AND JADE BUTLER @natalie_mechellr | @jadeyybug7 The LSU Student Health Center, LSU Women’s Center, LSU Campus Life and Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response Center, or STAR, collaborated with various campus and community organizations to host the 30th annual Take Back the Night candlelight vigil and march Sunday at the University Memorial Tower. The event began lightheartedly with live music and time to enjoy refreshments and receive information from various tables about domestic and sexual violence prevention and assistance. Shifting to a more serious note, speakers began sharing information about preventative measures and solutions to reduce the rate of domestic and sexual violence. Speakers included representatives from STAR, the Student Health Center, BRPD and the “We’re Committed” campaign, as well as East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Kip Holden, Student Government president Zack Faircloth and Office of Diversity Vice Provost Dereck Rovaris Victims who were comfortable sharing their stories were invited to speak, and several did. They made it a priority to emphasize that while preventing violence is important, the aftermath and healing process may be more crucial. Victims spoke
about their personal experiences wherein their friends, peers and family members did not take their tragedies seriously. They also brought awareness to the fact that domestic and sexual violence is not just an issue among women — men can be victims, too. Both the victims and guest speakers encouraged everyone in the crowd to become active bystanders and take the initiative to speak out if they witness violence. Speakers went on to read a list of names of those who lost their lives to homicidal violence in Louisiana over the past year. Shortly after, the candlelight vigil began, with each candle representing an aspect of violence that continues to be an issue today. The vigil was followed by a mile-long march around campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. Ashton Vaughn, a computer science sophomore, attended the event after seeing a flier on Moodle. “I wanted to show my support because it is a topic looked over a lot, and people don’t take it as seriously as it needs to be,” Vaughn said. Child and family studies junior Kameryn Poullard attended the event because it raised awareness for an issue she holds dear to her heart. She is also an intern for STAR and volunteers for the Iris Domestic Violence Center.
“I’m a really strong advocate for women and children in crisis,” Poullard said. Me’Elle Reed attended the event and said she has a friend who is a victim of sexual violence. She said coming to Take Back the Night informed her about how to support her friend in her time of need. “It was very informative, especially if you don’t know anything about domestic violence and sexual abuse,” Reed said. “[It] gives you ways to help people if you know anybody that is going through it and to help advocate for it.” Domestic and sexual violence continue to be major public health problems across the United States. According to the
National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner on average in the United States. This is equivalent to more than 10 million men and women. One in five women and one in 71 men in the United States have been raped in their lifetime, and about 19.3 million women and 5.1 million men in the United States have been stalked in their lifetime. In 2010, Louisiana ranked No. 4 in the nation for femicide, the homicide of women. It is projected that over 5,000 adult women per year living in Louisiana will experience domestic violence. Violence on college campuses continues to be a rising concern. The NCADV reported that
women between the ages of 18 and 24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner. These studies suggest there is a relationship between intimate partner violence and depression and suicidal behavior, according to NCADV. Faircloth said while 90 percent of the University commumnity is aware of the “We’re Committed” campaign, it must continue to join the movement to fix the problem of domestic and sexual violence on campus.
