Students gather to watch hours of election coverage BY LAUREN HEFFKER and NATALIE ANDERSON @laurheffker | @natalie_mechell University students gathered in the Student Union Live Oak Lounge Tuesday to watch Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump pass the threshold of 270 required electoral college votes to be elected the United States’ 45th president on Nov. 8. Student Government, in conjunction with the Manship School of Mass Communication Reilly Center for Media and Public Affairs, co-sponsored the election night viewing party. Throughout round-the-clock CNN election coverage and hourly election calling by mass communication professor Joshua Darr, speakers at the event included Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College Dean Jonathan Earle, The Advocate’s Lanny Keller, mass communication professor Robert Mann and LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center professor Chris Tyson. The Society of Politics, Communication and Law, as well as LSU Votes, the LSU Honors College, and the department of political science also put on the event. Students who were sure of Clinton’s advantage two weeks ago were surprised to see how close the race had been throughout the night. “I voted Hillary...because I think that Donald Trump is a f**king moron,” computer science freshman Caroline Birch said. “While I may not agree with everything that Hillary has to

Students gathered to view the conclusion of the presidential race on Nov. 8, during the election night viewing party in the Live Oak Lounge of the LSU Student Union. say, a third-party vote would be throwing my vote away.” Birch said that within this election cycle especially, the country has become increasingly polarized with violent and aggressive rhetoric from both sides. Mechanical engineering freshman Elisabeth Andries said she voted for Trump because she supports the pro-life movement. “I was leaning more toward voting for [Hillary Clinton] because I’m a huge feminist, but the fact is that she lied about government secrets,” Andriessaid. “The fact that she got away with it like
it was no big deal or problem — that extremely upset me. Loyalty is such a big thing.” Andries said she expected Clinton to win but does not see much change in the country’s future due to the limited power the president has. She also said she was shocked at how close the race was. Psychology freshman Justin Virella said while he thought the results would be close, he expected Clinton to come out on top. “She [Clinton] has the potential to be a great president,” Virella said. “But Donald Trump, I have no hope for. I feel as if his platform
is inherently nativist. From history we learned that platform isn’t really good for any nation.” Animal science freshman Kristy Trahan said she voted for Trump because of his business experience, an attribute she said is most needed for the country right now. “It really affects our relationship with our allies,” she said.
said. “We knew that we would be low first and expected that.” Key areas that dipped include the Greater New Orleans area, specifically Orleans and Jefferson parishes, and East Baton Rouge Parish. Data shows East Baton Rouge application numbers have recovered, but New Orleans’s applicant numbers are still down, she said. Applications were down across all ethnic groups regardless of location, Tullos said. With numbers rebounding, the University has seen an increase in applications from African Americans and Hispanics, as well as “other” ethnic groups. As of Nov. 3, African-American applicants increased roughly 51 percent and Hispanic applications increased 19 percent from 2015, while “other” increased by 29 percent. The number of admitted students also increased in each category. The University also saw a jump in application numbers from certain states. As of Nov. 7, the University received 223 more Texas applicants compared to the same period in 2015, she said. The spike follows the
institution of the Texas Tigers scholarship, which offers a 20 percent non-resident fee exemption for qualified entering freshmen. Tullos said she believes the scholarship played an important role in the application increase, and the University’s three newly scholarships will likely result in a similar bump. On Oct. 21, the LSU Board of Supervisors approved three new scholarships — the Tiger Nation scholarship, Tiger Alumni Legacy scholarship and Louisiana Tiger Legacy scholarship — to attract both non-resident and resident students through either fee exemptions or stipends for qualifying students. Tullos said application numbers haven’t picked up significantly since the scholarships were announced because student awareness is low. The admissions team is actively working to promote the scholarships to students, she said. Admissions is also diversifying student outreach efforts with a new texting software that will allow the department to connect with current and applied students via messaging. Students

Application numbers rising after slow start University application numbers are rebounding after a slow start in the first months of the 2017 application season. Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management Charlotte Tullos said as of Nov. 8 the University has received 12,147 applications and admitted 6,797 students. Both numbers are up from November 2015, with an increase of approximately 498 and 47 students, respectively. Applications dipped from Aug. 1 through early October, when application trends began to shift in a positive direction, she said. The biggest application spike came over Halloween weekend, when the University received 2,100 applications during an application fee waiver promotion. Tullos said an application dip was anticipated due to TOPS cuts and the city’s tumultuous summer, but she’s pleased with the way the numbers have rebounded. “I was worried, I have to admit, but not that much,” Tullos

Theo Epstein has made quite a living off busting professional sports curses. In his front office career Epstein has taken the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs — two franchises plagued by a combined total of 194 years of losing — and led them to championship prominence. Twice, Epstein laughed in the faces of omens and curses and instead implemented commonsense, data-driven decision making. The old ways of managing a front office are over, and although Epstein is not the innovator of analytical baseball, he has perfected its use. The numbers don’t lie. Hired by the Red Sox in 2002, Epstein became the youngest general manager in major league history at the age of 28. At the time, Boston was suffering from an 82-year championship drought. This dry spell coincidentally ensued after the franchise sold Babe “The Bambino” Ruth to the New York Yankees, leading fans to dub their team’s misfortune the “Curse of the Bambino.” Lucky for Red Sox fans, Epstein’s statistics pay no heed to curses.

Six games remain and LSU’s search for first SEC home win continues BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR With only six games left in the regular season, LSU’s volleyball team finds itself in a league of its own. The Tigers (7-16, 2-10 Southeastern Conference) are the only team in the SEC without a home win, as LSU currently has a dreary 0-11 record in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. LSU’s volleyball program
is not accustomed to being this poor at home, and this season only represents the second time in six years that the Tigers will finish with a losing record in the PMAC. To confuse LSU’s coaching staff further, the Tigers perform better on the road and have a 7-5 record in courts away from Baton Rouge. “For whatever reason, we’re better on the road than we are at home, and teams are going to
try to take advantage of that,” LSU coach Fran Flory said. “We need to start elevating our level of play in order to turn our luck around.” LSU’s window to win a match on its home floor is rapidly shrinking, and the Tigers only have three home games remaining in the season. Two of those three home matches will take place this weekend—when the Tigers take on Georgia Nov. 11 and

LSU falls 11 spots in College Football Playoff ranking to No. 24 BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR LSU has plummeted 11 spots in the College Football Playoff’s newest rankings. Tuesday, in the CFP’s weekly release of new rankings, the Tigers (5-3, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) fell from No. 13 to No. 24 after their 10-0 loss to top-ranked Alabama on Saturday. The Tide remained at the top and LSU’s next opponent, Arkansas, slipped in the top 25 in the last spot — initiating a No. 24 versus No. 25 battle this weekend at 6 p.m. in Fayetteville, Arkansas’ Reynolds
Razorback Stadium on Saturday. The game will be televised on ESPN. LSU, Alabama and Arkansas are three of five SEC teams to make the second release of the rankings this season, including: No. 9 Auburn, which defeated LSU 13-18 on Sept. 24, and No. 8 Texas A&M. The Tigers will meet with the eighth-ranked Aggies on Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M was ranked fourth before its 35-28 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday, then dropped four spots to No. 8 after its loss.

page 4 EPSTEIN, from page 3 His analytical approach made him buck conventional wisdom and sign David Ortiz as a player and name Terry Francona as a manager. As a result, Ortiz and Francona went on to become centerpieces of Boston’s championship teams in 2004 and 2011. In 2011, Epstein decided to part ways with the franchise that made him a household name. He did not, however, leave the Red Sox for greener pastures. No, he left Boston to become the President of Baseball Operations for the most pathetic franchise in professional sports — the Chicago Cubs. Epstein took a Cubs franchise that finished with a record of
Wednesday, November 9, 2016 75-87 the year before he arrived and made them competitors. Through Epstein, Chicago has built its pitching staff around stars like Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks while adding offensive fire power from Anthony Rizzo, Dexter Fowler and Ben Zobrist. All played crucial roles in the Cubs’ recent World Series season, but perhaps Epstein’s greatest move was hiring Joe Maddon as manager. Maddon consistently showed promise at Tampa Bay, winning with Rays teams that had no business doing so. Maddon’s addition to the organization tied all of the pieces together, and it culminated in a 2016 World Series title. After breaking yet another infamous curse, baseball fans
across America are ready to name Epstein baseball’s greatest front office piece in the last 20 years. They wouldn’t be wrong. Epstein’s front office strategy turned the Red Sox into perennial contenders, and, based on the young talent and strong farm system Epstein has created in Chicago, the Cubs have a chance to win a few more titles in the coming years. However, Epstein’s checklist does not end with another World Series. He’s already made that look too easy. The next item on Epstein’s list is a destination in baseball’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. And after his most recent title, I’d say that box is as good as checked.

Athens on Oct. 9, and the Tigers are ready to show the rest of the SEC that their home-court woes are finished. “Right now, teams in the SEC want to play us at home,” Flory said. “Re-establishing our home court advantage this weekend is a necessity.” Players insist that win-
ning at home is not solely about proving a point to the conference, but also about giving back to the community. “We know how important success is at LSU,” said senior middle blocker Tiara Gibson. “We want to win for our families that continue to support us and for the dads and daughters that ask for autographs after the game.”

2016 Presidential election foreshadows America’s nationalist future ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley After almost two years of painful memes, uncomfortable millennial outreach and bitter despair, the 2016 election is finally over. We can finally go back to the real world where politics only exists on “House of Cards,” right? Wrong. I won’t go into the results of the election, nor will I go into the type of government to expect from this cycle. Instead, I’d like to focus on the factors that shaped the 2016 presidential election, which are still very much alive and well. Regardless of which candidate won, the racism, sexism, xenophobia, mistrust of government and sheer corruption in the political and economic systems still exist. We cannot ignore these issues just because we don’t have to worry about marking a ballot for another two years. (For those who don’t know, we have Congressional elections between Presidential elections. Surprise!) Regardless of what you might think, Donald Trump’s candidacy was not an anomaly. His brand of right-wing nationalism is rampant across almost all western nations right now. From Brexit to
Austria’s presidential election to Germany’s stance on forcing Greece into austerity, this fascist philosophy is sweeping the world. If we don’t do something to address this issue soon, Trumpian candidates will become the norm, and his mythical southern wall might become a reality sooner than we think. If we want to put an end to these nationalist candidates in the United States before they gain considerable traction, our politicians need to do better. It’s not an accident Trump defeated 16 other candidates in the Republican primary, despite the fact that he had virtually no initial public support from any established politician. People thought he was a joke. Voters feel disconnected from politicians these days. While they want progress, jobs and secure incomes, politicians keep bringing gridlock and corruption. What kind of message did Clinton even bring to the campaign? Choose me because I’m not Trump? That’s not a vision for our country, and it’s hardly a way to make voters enthusiastic. Democrats have to offer more than just the status quo in politics. They have to offer more than being the pragmatic choice. And they have to learn to speak to working-class voters. Obviously, social issues matter.
For some, social issues literally save lives. But we can’t continue to ignore the economic troubles of working class America. Incomes are stagnant, prices are increasing and even though we’re not in a recession anymore, people aren’t feeling economic stability. Part of that problem has to do with the fact that they vote against their interests, but it’s not their
fault Democrats are terrible at reaching out to them. The elitist attitude of the Democratic Party turns off any potential voter who doesn’t feel like their life depends on having a Democratic politician in office. I’m not excusing sexism and racism. We need to take steps to end that as quickly as possible, but Democrats also need to reach
out to people who feel like the economic and political system doesn’t work for them. Overall, we need more empathy. I hope all sides can come together to heal the nation before it’s too late. Cody Sibley is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from Opelousas, Louisiana.

Pledge of Allegiance does not reflect true meaning of America LYNNE YOU A HAND LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 A group of students stand together with their right arms extended, chanting words of devotion. It’s the early 1940s, and national pride is at an all-time high. Before the group lowers its arms, they say, “with liberty and justice for all.” Congress put an end to the Nazi-like salute in 1942, but most states across the country still require public schools to recite the Pledge every day. It’s supposed to be a symbol of patriotism, but in reality, it is unnecessary, overdone and downright creepy. Most children start
saying the Pledge of Allegiance at five years old, before they know the meanings of the words “pledge” or “allegiance.” That is the definition of indoctrination. Rather than allowing children to learn to love their country on their own, schools ingrain nationalism into their minds and teach them to blindly support America. While supporting your country isn’t inherently a bad thing, it isn’t something a free country should impose. There are many underlying issues with the Pledge, but a lot of irony surrounds it as well. Francis Bellamy, an author and minister, composed the Pledge of Allegiance as we know it today. However, Bellamy also supported something
many Americans would consider anti-American: socialism. If Bellamy was around in the 1950s, he would have been labeled anti-American and pro-Russia. In fact, if he brought up his pledge in that time period, you could consider him blacklisted with all the other Hollywood stars and folk singers. Though some Americans have come to support socialism in today’s political environment, it is not what you think of when you think about traditional American values. If you ask a hardcore proponent of the Pledge, they would most likely say our values are supposed to be capitalistic, conservative and, perhaps most importantly, Christian. Bellamy may have been
Christian, but more and more Americans today are not. In fact, nearly 23 percent of the population does not affiliate with any religion at all. In 1954, the government added the phrase “under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance. Despite the fact that the First Amendment called for a separation of church and state, the country added it to help counter communist beliefs. In 2014, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance does not discriminate against atheists. It said that the words “under God” represent a patriotic, not religious, exercise. This could not be further from the truth. Putting

In LSU’s “Competition Tuesday” practice, the Tigers returned an offensive lineman from suspension for the waterlogged afternoon practice. Freshman reserve offensive guard Donavaughn Campbell served a brief suspension after being arrested on two counts of battery at Georgia Tech’s Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity House in Atlanta roughly one week before returning to practice Tuesday. Campbell, whose suspension remained during LSU’s 10-0 loss to Alabama on Saturday, was released on $5,000 bond the night of the incident. Campbell’s status with the team is unclear, but he was able to practice on Tuesday.
Saturday. Malone did return for a handful of possessions later in the game against the Crimson Tide. The junior left tackle spoke with the media on Monday after Orgeron said he expects Malone to be “fine” going forward this week. “My neck kind of snapped to the side, awkwardly, and I hurt my shoulder,” Malone told reporters Monday. Malone said he was going to rest prior to Monday’s practice and was in full pads for Tuesday’s workout. Toliver and Moore, LSU’s No. 1 fullback, were both listed on the Tigers’ official participation report versus the Tide and the extent of their injuries is unclear.
MALONE, TOLIVER, MOORE UPDATE
Maea Teuhema played at both tackle positions against Alabama. Teuhema, who started at right tackle for Toby Weathersby, shifted to left tackle after Malone’s injury in the first quarter. The sophomore “swingman,” as fellow lineman Will Clapp calls Teuhema, was practicing with the first team offensive lineman Tuesday at right tackle. Teuhema’s started in six games for LSU this season and has played in all eight contests.
Offensive lineman K.J. Malone, cornerback Kevin Toliver and fullback J.D. Moore all had something in common Tuesday: yellow, non-contact practice jerseys. All three donned the non-contact jerseys — designated for those recovering from injury — during the soggy practice, yet all participated in team drills. Malone was said to have suffered an arm injury against Alabama, LSU Sports Network Radio reported
