University to recognize military alumni Hall of Honor inductees to be saluted Nov. 5 BY ALLISON BRUHL @albruhl__
Southeastern Conference). “It’s a good momentum builder,” said junior quarterback Danny Etling about LSU’s 42-7 win versus Missouri. “We’re trying not to say that this season is lost on us.” The reset for LSU began with the firing of former coach Les Miles. Enter interim coach Ed Orgeron, whose high-energy and refreshed practice schedule has brought new life to LSU’s
On Nov. 5, 10 distinguished alumni will be inducted into LSU’s military Hall of Honor sponsored by the University and Cadets of the Ole War Skule. By resolution of the LSU Board of Supervisors in March of 1998, LSU Salutes was established as an official University observance — represented on a Saturday home football gameday nearest to Veterans Day. The LSU Salutes annual tradition recognizes all veterans, POWs, MIAs, and Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, in particular those who attended LSU and served in ROTC. Selection of the Hall of Honor inductees is based on their involvement with the University as well as military and community service. Activities planned during LSU Salutes include tours of campus and military memorials.

ONE and O Tigers’ newfound energy sets tone for rest of season
BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU’s football season started over on Saturday, players said. Hoisting the College Football Playoff trophy at the end of the season was in the Tigers’ sights, but two losses in September by a combined seven points knocked a dent into those dreams. The win against Missouri is just the start of a new beginning for LSU (3-2, 2-1
RESEARCH
Doctoral student studies trees to improve restoration efforts Tree ring dating used to gauge hurricane effects BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker
Louisiana’s rich culture has always been deeply tied to its landscape, which could be in jeopardy if it continues to disappear at an alarming rate. While the University is directly affected by the problems erosion presents, it could offer a solution. Geography and anthropology Ph. D. student Clay Tucker is entering his fourth year researching the effects of hurricanes on Louisiana’s gulf coast. Tucker is “a seventhgeneration Baton Rougian” and also received his undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University. Tucker’s research involves
using dendrochronology, the study of tree ring dating, to investigate the impact of hurricanes on coastal environments. After a hurricane, trees suppress their growth. Through the mapping of tree rings, researchers can assess how resilient they are in times of stress, and, ultimately, how this affects coastal restoration, Tucker said. “A big scientific discovery in all of this work is that we found trees in a place where we haven’t been able to study ecosystem-climate relationships in the past, and we found that area right along the coastal zone,” Tucker said. Hurricanes rip the leaves and branches off of trees and bring in lare amounts of salt water, which harms tree growth. The flooding stress is difficult for a tree to overcome, as it wants air just as much
as it wants water. The trees aren’t adapted to salt and need substantial amounts of precipitation before they can grow normally again. The landscape changes occur because of the effects of climate change and sea level rise. Louisiana loses 16 square miles of wetlands each year, which is equivalent to a football field every hour. Tucker said the best way to combat coastal erosion is to implent a series of small acts across vast locations over a long period of time. Sea level rise is a natural process that is exacerbated by human effects, he said. “It’s a dynamic landscape where we have to live dynamically if we’re going to live in it,” Tucker said. “I don’t think it’s a hard-set landscape, and we

With us scoring 42 points, the most all year, it is a statement. It’s an eye-opener. A lot of people will respect us, and it’s well-deserved respect. MALACHI DUPRE junior wide receiver
ENERGY, from page 1 football operations building and given the team a different, affirming perspective. For the team, playing for Orgeron wasn’t unfamiliar. Orgeron was brought in by Miles to be LSU’s defensive line coach two seasons ago. “It’s not like we were playing for ... [someone] we didn’t know,” said junior wide receiver D.J. Chark. “We know Coach O. We didn’t want to let [him] down.” Orgeron isn’t letting LSU give up on this season. The change in practice schedule provided LSU with better preparation for Missouri. “There was a huge difference this week in practice,” said senior tight end Colin Jeter. “We showed that tonight. If he can change the whole team’s demeanor and get everyone ready, you can accomplish a lot in the game.” Orgeron’s method implements a new theme for each practice. “Monday’s about telling the truth, Tuesday is ‘Competition Tuesday,’” Orgeron said. “Wednesday is ‘Turnover Wednesday.’ Thursday is ‘No Repeat Thursday’ and Friday is ‘Focus Friday.’” The players have bought into Orgeron’s mentality and wiped away the seasonopening loss to Wisconsin and last-second defeat by Auburn.
What’s been more encouraging for the players is Orgeron’s sense of team togetherness. “One team, one heartbeat,” the coach says. To junior fullback J.D. Moore, the 55-year-old coach practices what he preaches. “The fact that he’s saying and emphasizing unity, but then the way that he acts in his persona is very unifying,” Moore said. “I knew he was a loud, passionate, vociferous kind of guy. He had command in the room and really set the tone for the rest of the week.” Orgeron’s new regime provided positive results six days after Miles was fired. The Tigers’ new “scheme” and “offense” posted 634 yards, which was a record for total offense in an SEC game. The 35-point romping of Missouri was to put the rest of the SEC on notice, to show the Tigers aren’t done yet. “With us scoring 42 points, the most all year, it is a statement,” said junior wide receiver Malachi Dupre. “It’s an eye-opener. A lot of people will respect us, and it’s well-deserved respect.” Orgeron, a Louisiana native, is relishing in the opportunity to call himself the head coach of LSU. “We’re going to enjoy it,” Orgeron said about LSU’s win. “It’s a tremendous honor to be the head coach at LSU.”
SALUTE, from page 1 The Commandant’s Luncheon will feature Lt. Col. Lawrence House, LSU’s new Commandant of Cadets. The induction ceremony will take place 9 a.m. at the LSU War Memorial on the Parade Ground. The event will be free and open to the public. The day prior to the
ceremony, Gov. John Bel Edwards, a West Point and LSU Law School graduate, will speak at the President’s Reception dinner. The honorees will be recognized in Tiger Stadium during pre-game activities at the LSU versus Alabama football game. The Tiger Band will also present a “Patriotic Salute” during the half-time show.

Godchaux surprised to return quickly; Gage, Ferguson used as featured receivers Saturday

Davon Godchaux didn’t think he was going to play Saturday. He was suspended indefinitely on Monday after being arrested on charges of misdemeanor domestic abuse/child endangerment and false imprisonment, but East Baton Rouge’s district attorney dropped the charges against him on Tuesday. “I feel like it was a misunderstanding,” he said after LSU’s 42-7 win versus Missouri on Saturday. “I’m just glad to be back with my teammates.” Godchaux returned to practice Wednesday after confirming with interim head coach Ed Orgeron that he could return to the team. “Once I got the news that coach Orgeron was going to let me play — actually I didn’t know,” Godchaux said. “He didn’t come to me and say ‘Davon, you’re going to play this week.’” ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille
LSU remains out of the AP Poll. After a last-second, fivepoint loss at Auburn last week, LSU dropped out of the Associated Press’ Top 25 weekly poll and did not return after its 42-7 win against Missouri Saturday. In the USA Today Coaches Poll released Sunday morning, LSU remained outside the top 25, but received the most votes for an unranked team. The Tigers (3-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) ranked as high as fifth in the AP Poll before their season-opening loss to Wisconsin on Sept. 3. LSU began the season fifth, moved to No. 21 then No. 20 and up as high as No. 18 before losing to Auburn and being knocked out of the top 25 for the second-consecutive week. The Tigers travel to meet No. 18 Florida at 11 a.m. in Gainesville on Saturday. CURRENT RANK

Theatre lab season kicks off with ‘The Secretaries’ BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ What do you get when you mix murder, lumberjacks and a man in drag with a bunch of laughs? The University’s lab season production of “The Secretaries.” The Five Lesbian Brothers’ play “The Secretaries” was the first show to open the College of Music and Dramatic Arts’ lab season this semester. The show, which ran from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2, was directed by Ph.D. student Colleen King. The Five Lesbian Brothers is a theatre company composed of Maureen Angelos, Babs Davy, Dominique Dibbell, Peg Healey and Lisa Kron. According to its website, the company “[creates] provocative lesbian theatre for the masses through the fine feminist art of collaboration.” As a company, the group has been awarded the Village Voice Obie Award, a New York Dance and Performance Award and a New York Press Award as Best Performance Group. This comedic horror play tells the story of five secretaries in the ’90s who work at a lumber mill in the fictional town of Big Bone, Oregon. One catch about the secretaries — they’re a cult.
And once a month, during their menstrual cycle, the secretaries murder a lumberjack. “The script is amazing for the show, which was why I was originally drawn to it,” King said. “I’m always looking for ensemble pieces with good roles for women. The piece deals with a lot of issues that were very potent in the 1990s that actually continue today.” Some of the issues the show tackles include the way women internalize sexism and create conflict among themselves, as well as dealing with body and eating issues, King said. While tough topics to cover, the issues are hyperbolized and handled in a satirical manner. One of King’s choices for this all-female show was to cast a male as a part of the ensemble. Skye Bocage, in drag, plays the role of Ashley Elizabeth Fratangelo, one of the secretaries. “When you are casting an ensemble, you have to find the right pieces to fit together to establish the group dynamic,” King said. “I went into the auditions expecting to cast all women, as it is written that way … [but] when Skye had his audition, it was so good, and it was so on theme with what ‘The

The entire production had a little over a month to rehearse and put together the almost two-hour play.
The rehearsal process, while consolidated, consisted of scene work, improvisation, meditation and ensemble-building activities, working toward a goal of building the energy of the ensemble and creating a sense of listening to the others in the ensemble
before scene work was ever started, King said. “I think that the comedy comes from all of that listening to the moment,” King said. “I think all of that lends to a certain upbeat kind of energy that makes the comedy work.”

RAISING HELL
Aggressive preaching on campus inappropriate, ineffective
photos by JORDAN MARCELL / The Daily Reveille
JORDANSWERS JORDAN MARCELL @JordanCMarcell Members of the Consuming Fire Fellowship of Gloster, Mississippi stopped by Free Speech Plaza last week to preach their own interpretation of religious texts using petty insults to gain the attention of passers-by. They preached their 100 percent, totally correct version of everything from gender studies to biological evolution, as well as more unshakable scientific theories — like the idea that everyone is stupid except themselves. Since the late ’80s, one of the fellowship’s founders, Pastor Britt Williams, has been documented preaching his own word at LSU. These kind people have been sentencing others to eternal damnation since before most of today’s student body was born, so maybe that consuming fire within their souls
is something so immensely powerful and true. Think about it: this practice has survived the unfathomable amount of time that spans 28 years, so who are we to question its grand historical influence? Let us also not forget this is a large-scale movement, since the church was founded by seven people in 1995. Last week, I knew this returning group of radicals was on campus as I saw angels in the sky nodding in agreement to loud interjections and a general rebuttal of unsettled murmurs. A quick stroll to the scene revealed these people were once again antagonizing our fellow students, insulting our “so-called institute of higher education” and attempting to undermine every other religious and philosophical standpoint that has ever been held on this planet. Thankfully, we are a resilient group of “dishonest snakes,” and we don’t give in to their childish games. For that, I thank us.

Sadly, however, we waste far too much time attempting to reason with these people. These people, like ourselves, are equally unshakable. They believe that their rhetoric is proof of the validity of their beliefs, but we know that it is proof of the validity of their crude arrogance and inability to listen to others. We both hold positions we believe are worthy of defending. Their position, however, involves the lowest forms of engagement, the most illogical forms of reasoning and the most barbaric conclusions I have ever heard. This fellowship believes they are telling us the truth straight from the Bible. That, however, is as far as their reasoning takes them. I asked two young male members to name the monsters from the Book of Revelation, and they knew none. I asked if they would treat people the same way Old Testament tribes ordered — including the
killing of children — and they responded that they would take pride in doing so. I doubt their conviction to that claim, and they merely agreed to stand by their cause. This, however, does nothing more than prove their claims are not necessarily based on true belief, but rather the hope to believe. They hope they are right. They hope everyone else is wrong. They think if they scream into a world devoid of objective meaning long enough, the universe will hear them over everybody else and take it as truth. They scream just like any other animal screams: when they are afraid. They fear the world for what it may truly be — not because they fear the good or evil in it, but rather because they know they wouldn’t understand it. Albert Camus once touched on the matter that a world explained with bad reasons is still more comfortable than a world left unexplained. They

fear that which they don’t know, so they construct their cruel, insult-filled reality. Many peaceful religions are far too often perverted by radicals like the Consuming Fire Fellowship. These people pick the cruelest and most illogical parts of their ancient text to justify their actions — parts that most other members who use the same document disagree with. Nevertheless, these people will come back. They will attack us. They will be unreasonable, and they will be inconvenient. Just like last time, let’s hold our heads up, ask a few questions, laugh a little and go get lunch at the Student Union. They attack because they fear the world.

Monday, October 3, 2016 NOTES, from page 3 During Godchaux’s two-day suspension, Frank Herron replaced the junior defensive end on LSU’s first team defense. Even after his suspension had been lifted, Godchaux let Herron run with the starters. But Orgeron did not approve. “He was like ‘Godchaux get in there!’” Godchaux said. “That gave me a positive sign that I was going to play this week. Just staying humble and keep working and trusting the man above. I can’t control things that happen.” “I could tell he was looking for me and he said ‘Where’s Godchaux?’ and I got back to my technique and got used to the things I was doing and I had to get ready for Missouri.” Gage, Ferguson become featured players in ‘new’ offense Junior wide receiver Russell Gage didn’t find out his first career start would come on Saturday until moments before the game. His face expressed excitement and joy, junior wide receiver Malachi Dupre said. “We were all excited for him,” Dupre said. “I was like ‘Russell, you know you’re starting right?’ and he was like ‘I know!’ Obviously all week in practice, and we didn’t know who it would be. I felt like he went out there, and we didn’t miss a beat and did everything he was
to supposed to do.” Opposite Gage was another unfamiliar wide receiver: sophomore Jazz Ferguson. Ferguson’s first career catch came in LSU’s first half against Missouri. “Jazz had his first catches and we were excited for him too,” Dupre said. Orgeron’s celebrate successful day of football LSU’s players handed Orgeron Saturday’s game ball shortly after drenching the 55-year-old coach in a Gatorade bath. “He was fired up,” junior tight end Colin Jeter said of Orgeron after LSU’s 35-point win Saturday. Soaked in Gatorade, Orgeron smiled with two fists in the air toward the LSU student section as he walked back to the tunnel to celebrate with his team. Orgeron became LSU’s fourthstraight coach to win in his debut game as head coach. In the midst of coaching his first game as the Tigers’ head coach, Orgeron’s son, Parker, caught an 8-yard touchdown in McNeese State’s 38-13 win against Nicholls State. “I heard about it,” Orgeron said. “I got a little message there [in the] second quarter … It’s great. It was a great night. We’re happy. We’re a very competitive family. Football’s our life.”

Pros & Cons BY LARYSSA BONACQUISTI @Bonacquisti2
Following the first presidential debate, divides between political parties seem more apparent than ever. In this election, one of the most divisive in recent history, millennials’ interest have grown, according to the Pew Research Center. University students on both sides of the aisle had a lot to say after last week’s debate.

“It was more entertainment than information, which is the big problem that I was worried would happen. Neither of them talked about the people, and that’s really where we should be having this argument. I think that our current situation is people are changing their minds to fit their party.”
Jennifer Nguyen political science freshman
“I feel like this year’s election is not really being taken as seriously. I feel like the candidates are more focused on each other rather than the actual issues.”
“Hillary is talking about stuff that relates to all races, and Donald Trump is bashing all races, which is wrong.”

“I thought the debate should have been more about each candidate’s individual policies in regards to fixing the problems our country has. As far as the election goes, I don’t think either candidate is a slam dunk, but I believe that Trump is more capable and trustworthy than Hillary.”

“I hate politics. I hate both the people running, and I think they’re just on a power trip, and they’re liars. I used to keep up with the elections and the debates and everything, but this year, I just really don’t like either of the people running.”

‘“I thought the first debate was quite entertaining. Trump did really well in the beginning keeping his composure, and Hillary really prospered towards the end of the debate. Both candidates portrayed themselves the way I thought they would have, and I can’t wait for the other debates.”
“As far as the debate is concerned, it was a little ridiculous with Trump being “Trump” and Hillary pushing his buttons to make him say the stuff that really she wanted to. I don’t necessarily know who I’m voting for yet. I’m still waiting for the debates to happen, and I want to learn more about all of the nominees of all parties, not just Republican and Democratic.”
“I feel like it was more competition-wise, like battling, so you really couldn’t hear a valid point. They both were interrupting each other.” Kayla Patterson history/geography senior
OPINION
Students should strive to be informed, exercise right to vote MYIA-PINION MYIA HAMBRICK @MyiaChristine The 2016 presidential election is coming. I don’t think anyone is blind to that fact or to its importance. The candidates have been campaigning for years at this point, but there are still people who are unsure of who to vote for — or if they even want to vote at all. I think it is vital to vote, especially as a college student. I am 21, so this is my first time being able to partake in a presidential election, and it is a right I and many other students took for granted for a long time. Whether you think Trump is
an idiot or Hillary is a liar doesn’t matter — you should exercise the right to vote that you have been given. There are many local and state offices and laws on the ballot for you to decide on, too. As an American citizen who will be affected by the policies the newly elected officials will enact, you should be concerned. If you want to incite change, you have to get noticed. In order for politicians to take notice of students and our generation, we have to speak up. In an interview with LSU President F. King Alexander, he expressed his concern with the amount of student voters. “We would like to see more students voting locally because it will help get the politicians’ attention. They pay attention to
who is voting in large numbers,” Alexander said. But what if you aren’t from Louisiana? Alexander has an answer for that, as well. “This is why we have added the signatures to the student ID cards. You can register with your local address and vote here. The closest options are U High and McKinley High School on Nov. 8,” he added. Absentee ballots are difficult to get and even more difficult to receive on time. I am from Georgia, and part of the reason I wasn’t going to vote was that I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through all the paperwork involved with absentee ballots. Now there is a solution provided and sponsored by the University, and I can’t think of a good
reason not to take advantage of it. The only question that remains is: Who should be getting your vote? While I won’t push my opinions on you, I will say that if you’re an “I don’t want to pick the lesser of two evils” person, get educated on all of the candidates. Who knows — you might agree with the points of a candidate or even realize your perception of someone was all wrong. Even if you really can’t bring yourself to agree with anyone, you should still vote. There are many different acts, laws and other offices on the ballot. You can go to the Secretary of State for Louisiana’s website, sos.la.gov, for more information on who is on the ballot. I think our generation has
a skewed point of view when it comes to presidential elections, and we forget about a little thing called checks and balances. While some people stand by the assumption that the president has all the power in government, he or she technically has only one-third of federal power. If you vote for the other people running for various offices, you’ll be able to have your opinion in all three branches of government, and that is pretty cool. I want to live in an America that I helped create. I want to be in control of my future as much as possible, and I’d hope you do too. Catch me at the polls Nov. 8.
