Fall 2016 Civil War Book Review released
the final
STRETCH
BY SCOTT GRISWOLD @Griswold_ii
Hostile month prefaces LSU, Florida’s relocated game at Tiger Stadium
Florida’s foe, are now scheduled to play each other instead. “We made this decision to play the game in Baton Rouge,” Florida’s then-athletic director Jeremy Foley said. “The conference office asked us to find a solution in working with LSU, yet LSU was never a true partner in our discussions. The Southeastern Conference offered some other solutions, and the LSU administration made it clear that they were unwilling to consider other reasonable options.” Remember when SEC commissioner Greg Sankey suggested the disgruntled schools were like a dysfunctional family?
The Fall 2016 issue of Civil War Book Review has been made available on online. CWBR is a quarterly journal of record for new or newly reprinted books about the antebellum, Civil War and Reconstruction eras, published by the LSU Libraries’ Special Collections Division. The journal is published in February, May, August, and November. The Civil War Book Review also welcomes its new editor, Tom Barber, according to a news release. “It is a great honor for me to be able to formally introduce myself to our readers,” Barber said in the release. “I have been lucky to take over the Civil War Book Review with the support of the staff at LSU Special Collections, and with the journal having been handed off to me in such excellent shape by our previous editor, Zach Isenhower. I look forward to continuing the journal’s commitment to providing thoughtful reviews for the latest scholarship on the

ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille
BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ After a wild month since their original match’s postponement, LSU and Florida are rescheduled to play a football game this weekend. LSU has six wins and three losses and is well outside of a shot to contend for a national championship. But the Tigers still have much to play for this season. LSU has a self-controlled chance to earn a bid to a highly esteemed bowl, and the job security of its 4-1 interim head coach Ed Orgeron remains in limbo. Orgeron tightly contested No. 1 team, Alabama, in a 10-0 loss, then whipped
a former employer, Arkansas, by 18 points Saturday. Beginning Saturday, Orgeron competes in his first of LSU’s remaining regular-season games until his “audition” to become LSU’s next official head coach is complete. So, what’s next? First: a cross-division, smack-talk-loaded battle between LSU and Florida at noon in Tiger Stadium Saturday, after the game was previously delayed by Hurricane Matthew in a less than friendly manner between the schools. Both teams had to cancel and buyout their scheduled Nov. 19 opponents. South Alabama, LSU’s scheduled opponent, and Presbyterian,

Three constitutional amendments passed by La. voters BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker
During the historic Nov. 8 election, voters in Louisiana not only voted on their candidates for President and U.S. Senate, but they also voted on ratifying six proposed state constitutional amendments. The Daily Reveille breaks down each amendment along with the voting results. STATEWIDE UNOFFICIAL TURNOUT FROM SECRETARY OF STATE WEBSITE

The proposed change would have transferred tuition authority to the state’s higher education management boards, which could have had the power to raise college tuition and fees without legislative approval. Currently, twothirds of the Legislature has to agree to change tuition and fees.
NOT 56% NO 44% YES DID PASS Louisiana allows corporations deductions on their state income tax based on their federal income taxes. The proposed amendment sought to change the corporate tax to a flat rate of 6.5 percent, but income tax deductions would no longer apply.
There were close splits in East Baton Rouge Parish, East Carroll Parish, LaSalle Parish, Orleans Parish, Tensas Parish. Lincoln Parish was the only parish where the majority (55 percent) voted yes to Amendment No. 2.
See the rest of the amendments and voting results page 2
73% YES PASSED 27% NO Registrars are in charge of voter registration in their respective parishes. While the state did not have any preexisting work or education requirements for applicants to qualify for the position, the passing of Amendment No. 1 puts new standards in place for registrar candidates, including: a combination of a bachelor’s or associate’s degree with at least two to four years of professional work experience, seven years of full-time experience without a college degree or five years of employment in a Louisiana registrar’s office. Most parishes had a 70/30 margin for yes/no.

FLORIDA, from page 1 “This conference often describes itself as a family. A family has points of tension,” Sankey said. “I certainly understand the angst and frustration. I have my own level of angst, but we need to come together to play a football game and find the best way to do that.” LSU’s players agreed with Sankey: play the game. “LSU VS UF needs to be reschedule. I don’t care if we play in somebody back yard,” sophomore defensive end Arden Key tweeted on Oct 8 during LSU’s then-impromptu bye week. “To have this happen my senior year!” senior cornerback Tre’Davious White tweeted at the time. “To get a game taken away

from us is definitely disappointing. We only get 12 of [them].” Florida coach Jim McElwain refuted the theories. “Dodging the game? Wow,” the coach said. To make this one riper since its rescheduling, there are postseason implications on the line for both teams. Florida has a chance to clinch the SEC East, further solidifying a spot in the league’s championship with a win against LSU to play topranked Alabama, which torched Mississippi State by 48 points Saturday. If LSU doesn’t add another loss, it has a chance to claim the SEC’s seat in New Orleans’ Sugar Bowl since Georgia defeated then-No. 8 Auburn on Saturday.

The passing of Amendment No. 4 gives the surviving spouses of people who died while on active duty in the U.S. military or Louisiana National Guard or while performing duties as fire protection officers and law enforcement personnel a full property tax exemption on their homes.

With the passing of Amendment No. 5, a Revenue Stabilization Trust Fund will be created from corporate and mineral tax revenue to pay state retirement debt, fund infrastructure and transportation projects and stabilize future revenue. In all parishes, the margin was extremely close, with many parishes voting for and against the amendment. In most parishes, just a few percentage points made the difference, and a few areas were split 50 percent down the middle.

Tigers sweep Bulldogs for second home court win this season
BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR LSU’s weekend momentum strengthened with a sweep against Mississippi State on Sunday. Roughly four hours before the arena crew would have to flip the PMAC’s volleyball court to a basketball court for a game later Sunday evening, LSU (9-16, 4-10 Southeastern Conference) cruised past Mississippi State at scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20.
LSU coach Fran Flory said the team “got the monkey off our back,” and finally reached the potential the coaching staff knew the team had. LSU’s win Sunday is its second home win in three days and second win in the PMAC all season. “The way that they managed the match today was the most impressive thing to me,” Flory said. “We grew, our confidence grew and we didn’t try to do too much.” Mississippi State gained an
early lead in the first set but LSU tied at seven, and then again at eight. Eventually, the Tigers pulled ahead to keep the lead and grab their first win of the match, 25-21. LSU was able to capitalize on Mississippi State’s seven errors in the set while junior outside hitter Gina Tillis spearheaded the Tigers in kills and digs with four and three, respectively. LSU came with heat for RYAN MCCARBLE / The Daily Reveille

Entertainment played vital role in election BLACK BY POPULAR DEMAND JAKEYLA CHAVIS @theeyoungqueen The 2016 presidential election is finally behind us, and it was one of the most nerve-wracking, life-changing and entertaining elections in U.S. history. Through fashion, music, social media and comedy, this race to the White House was one for the history books. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has always been known for her signature pantsuits, but during this election, her wardrobe took on a new meaning for American women. Historically, the woman’s pantsuit expresses the aspiration to defy gender norms and represents a strong woman whose place is beside a man, not behind him. Searches for women’s pantsuits have risen 460 percent since the beginning of the year, according to lyst.com. Clinton’s die-hard supporters showed up to the polls in pantsuits to demonstrate respect for their preferred candidate. Even BeyoncĂŠ and her backup dancers rocked the outfit during the singer’s performance at Clinton’s “Get Out the Voteâ€? concert in Cleveland, Ohio. Aside from BeyoncÊ’s amazing – and censored – performance of her hit song “Formationâ€? at the concert, various other celebrities, especially musicians, publicly expressed
their support or opposition of the candidates. Rappers Jay Z, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper and Big Sean also performed for one of Clinton’s rallies, as did Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry. Perry and Lady Gaga have been two of the most vocal Clinton supporters throughout the campaign. Though Clinton had most of Hollywood in her corner, Trump had his fair share of celebrity endorsements, including Kid Rock, Azealia Banks and Ted Nugent, who performed at one of Trump’s rallies. Rappers YG and Nipsey Hussle expressed their disdain for Trump in their 2016 song, “FDT (F*** Donald Trump).� Social media played possibly one of the most significant roles in the election, allowing countless citizens to weigh in on the candidates and electoral college results. From Oct. 13 to Nov. 12, three trending Twitter hashtags made it into the top 10 of the global Top 30 Hashtags list, according to hashtagify.me. #ElectionDay was No. 10, with #ElectionNight at No. 7 and #Trump at No. 5. Pictures of citizens wearing “I Voted� stickers also flooded social media last week, with more than 500,000 public Instagram posts and 100,000 Facebook posts featuring the “I Voted� hashtag. For the past 18 months, comedians have had a field day with the election. Late night comedy show hosts probably benefitted the most. Comedians
like Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah took on the topic in multiple episodes of their respective shows. The day after the election, Noah started off “The Daily Show� with: “If this morning you finally woke up from a coma, well, you might want to go back.� “It’s pretty clear who ruined America: white people. I guess ruining Brooklyn was just a dry run,� Bee said on her show “Full Frontal.� Endless election memes combined social media and comedy. Memes of Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama skyrocketed in popularity, becoming one of the top Twitter moments of the day. There were even memes connecting Clinton’s pantsuits with pandering to the black community. One meme, picturing Clinton in her white, black and red pantsuits next to pictures of former Death Row Records rappers Tupac, Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight in similar pantsuits, read, “We gone sit here and act like Hillary Clinton ain’t been representing Death Row Records at all three debates?� Though the election is over and some of us are either celebrating making America great again or preparing for its impending destruction, we can all come together in enjoying the entertainment the election — and likely, Trump’s presidency — will bring.

U.S. must find way to move forward following 2016 election RYLED UP RYAN THAXTON @ryanthax It’s been almost a full week since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, and across the country, hundreds of thousands of disillusioned Americans are marching in protest of the President-elect, while hate crimes occur at a greater rate than they did in the time following 9/11. Strong convictions of separatism — brought to a boil by certain politicians — in the wake of numerous other events have left the entire nation wondering where to go from here. The moderate Republican masses that Clinton was unable to win from Trump have already alleviated most of their guilt after Trump largely reeled back his promises to forcibly remove 11 million undocumented immigrants, build a wall on the U.S.Mexico border and ban Muslims from entering the country. Many believe Trump exaggerated in one of the most
extreme instances of pandering to obtain the presidency. Regardless of his authenticity, the problem remains that the masses now feel entitled to what Trump promised and feel justified in their racism, homophobia and misogyny. Insanul Ahmed, the senior editor of music website Genius, collected dozens of examples in a Twitter moment titled “Day 1 in Trump’s America.” The tweets vary from pictures of racist comments written on cars to videos of schoolchildren chanting “build that wall” to screencaps of Facebook posts recounting assaults against Muslim women wearing hijabs. People who now preach working with the President-elect, despite speaking against him previously, do so because they can afford to. They won’t be affected the way millions of women, LGBTQ community members, people of color, and disabled individuals will be. Don’t worry, this is not why I’m writing. I have no idea where we go from here. Students and activists are protesting. Established Democrats promise to fight for gridlock
in the Senate, Republicans and business elites are already ensuring Trump is looking out for their best interests and the white working class is celebrating what it views as a win. In a fascinating Huffington Post article, Tobias Stone wrote in July that Trump is another leg in the build up of our world’s tendencies toward self-destruction. Stone points to history to prove that humanity is
self-destructive, and it happens in cyclical patterns we often do not identify until it is too late. Each time, humans are left with one choice: to survive. The most resilient remain, whether by their own inhibition or some mix of biology and luck. Whether this is the beginning of a period as dark as a world war or just another surprise from Trump in which he actually does a good job as president
remains to be seen. Yet calls for unity and peace from those sitting in the middle are futile. When both sides are this openly venomous to each other, more than a feel-good message is needed to mend the divide between millions who all fear for their future well-being. Ryan Thaxton is a 20-year-old mass communication sophomore from Monroe, Louisiana.

Less mainstream mental illnesses still overlooked, stigmatized LYNNE YOU A HAND LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 It seems as though depression and anxiety are now part of the mainstream. Though a stigma surrounds all mental illnesses, these two disorders have become more accepted in our society when compared with others. However, while depression and anxiety now get more attention and care, many disorders are as ignored as ever. Disorders that are considered ugly or that cannot be romanticized are left out of the narrative of experiences with mental illness. In reality, no disorder is pretty, but it is harder to glamorize mental illnesses that negatively affect someone’s behavior or appearance. Personality disorders and impulse control disorders are two types
of mental illnesses that are understated, ignored and “ugly.” Personality disorders are made up of three different groups or “clusters.” Cluster A is defined as odd and eccentric, cluster B is defined as dramatic and erratic and cluster C is defined as anxious and fearful. One illness that falls under cluster A is schizotypal personality disorder. People with schizotypal PD often fear social interaction, view other people as harmful and think in ways similar to those with schizophrenia. Cluster B includes borderline personality disorder. People with BPD commonly lack a strong sense of self, which makes them experience feelings of emptiness and fears of abandonment. Dependent personality disorder falls under cluster C. People with dependent PD lack selfconfidence and feel an excessive need to be looked after, causing them to go to great lengths to
keep their relationships intact. It is harder for those with personality disorders to have stable and healthy relationships because their mental illness can make them uncomfortable to be around. The stigma surrounding those with these kinds of disorders makes it harder for them to have a positive view of themselves or obtain what they often crave most: friendship and love. Personality disorders may make a person’s behavior “ugly,” but some impulse control disorders affect people’s bodies. People with body-focused repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs, compulsively damage their physical appearance. Some of the most common BFRBs are hair pulling, known as trichotillomania, and skin picking, known as excoriation disorder. These disorders do not mean the occasional tug of the hair or pop of a pimple, but rather time-consuming
behaviors that can leave a person bald or scarred. Trichotillomania sufferers pull hair from their scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes or other places on their bodies. Pulling hair from the scalp or face is the most common, and having little to no hair in those places can make the person look different from others. Excoriation disorder sufferers pick skin from their face, arms, legs or any other part of their bodies. Picking a certain area of skin can make it look abnormal in comparison to the skin around it, and the picked skin makes the person look different from others just like trichotillomania. Trichotillomania and excoriation disorder ruin extremely commoditized parts of a person’s body. Having the illness often lowers the person’s selfesteem and other aspects of their mental health. Though people don’t usually think about the

relationship between mental illness and a person’s outward appearance, the two are closely linked for those with BFRBs. It might be easy to make an aesthetically pleasing post on Tumblr about mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, but it is hard to turn more stigmatized disorders into something that people consider to be beautiful. We need to do a better job of educating people about lesser known disorders so people living with them do not have to feel like they are suffering alone. Personality disorders and impulse control disorders are only two types of mental illnesses that people do not talk about enough. More than 42 million American adults suffer from some kind of mental illness, and it is time we talk about it on a broader, more inclusive platform.

Two home game wins, that and not having any home game wins, it feels good. GINA TILLIS junior outside hitter
HOME WIN, from page 3 the second set, but so did the Bulldogs. The second set saw eight lead changes and 12 tied scores. Though the Tigers kept most of the lead throughout the second set, Mississippi State was able to catch up to the Tigers at 23-24 before Tillis scored LSU’s final point with a hardhitting kill to win the second set for LSU. The Tigers were determined to win the third set, players said. LSU started strong, winning the first two points of the third set. The team was able to keep the lead throughout the set, refusing to allow Mississippi State to tie the game. The Tigers won the third set, 25-20, to sweep the Bulldogs and
win their second home match of the season. LSU had 41 kills and six errors in 103 swings for a total hitting percentage of .340 for the match. Tillis said after a pep talk about leaving the past behind prior to this weekend, the team decided to play like it had nothing to lose. “Two home game wins, that and not having any home game wins, it feels good, especially sweeping Mississippi State because they got us last year and getting them back at home feels even better,” Tillis said. The Tigers will travel this week to compete against Kentucky at 6 p.m. on Friday in the Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, Kentucky.
