LSU adds seven home games
RUSH HOUR
BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ LSU will open the 2016-17 basketball season on Nov. 12 when the Tigers host the Southern Conference’s Wofford at the PMAC. Including Wofford, LSU added seven home games in November and December as the Tigers’ non-conference schedule was released on Tuesday. LSU will compete in three home games against Wofford, and Southern Miss on Nov. 15 and North Florida three days later before the squad departs for the Bahamas’ “Battle 4 Atlantis” tournament Nov. 23-25, beginning with a meeting against Wichita State at 11 a.m. in Imperial Arena. Last season, the Tigers squashed North Florida’s second-half surge (19 3-pointers) with 71 second-half points to win the thriller, 119-108 behind a 43-point outing from former LSU forward Ben Simmons on Dec. 2. LSU’s 119 points were its most since its 127104 victory against George Mason on Dec. 3, 1994. The Tigers will finish against Houston in November as the backend of a home-and-home series on Nov. 29, the week prior to LSU’s mandated release for final exams. Houston defeated LSU in the Tigers’ second overtime game last season, 105-98. Like Houston, LSU was also defeated by Wake Forest, 71-77, last December, and the College of Charleston, 58-70, on Nov. 30, 2015. LSU’s only remaining non-conference game is versus Texas Tech on Jan. 28 as part of the SEC/Big 12 challenge. The Tigers’ SEC schedule is expected to be released toward the end of August.

Greek Life recruitment activities to take place at night amid first week of classes BY NATALIE ANDERSON | @natalie_mechell
This year, incoming University students who hope to join a fraternity or sorority will have to participate in evening recruitment activities during times they might have reserved for getting acquainted with a new campus or relaxing following their first days of college classes. Potential new members of LSU Greek Life will be viewing houses at night, and many current members will be working on rush week activities until the early hours of the morning. LSU Greek Life postponed fall rush from Sunday, Aug. 14 for the National Panhellenic Council to Wednesday, Aug. 24 and from Wednesday, Aug. 17 to Thursday, Aug. 25 for the Interfraternity Council due to the historic flooding that struck Louisiana. Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory said this decision was made because of the concern as to whether the University could fully operate. Sororities’ original recruitment week schedule stretched from Aug. 13 through Aug. 20 — two days before the start of classes. Fraternities’ recruitment ran from Aug. 17 until Aug. 21. Guillory said Greek Life worked with the Emergency Operations Center to make
the call to postpone recruitment. There was a concern with school starting due to the limited function of the university after much of Baton Rouge and South Louisiana was hit by floods. “I think that the sentiment was we have to worry about Baton Rouge and so many of our students and our university,” Guillory said. She said that this was the first time she had experienced recruitment taking place during academic time. The Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council eventually voted to postpone recruitment. Guillory said she feels that while the decision was not ideal, it was the best option discussed. Another option was to divide the recruitment into two weekends, but Labor Day weekend plans posed a challenge for many students. The PHC new member convocation was held on Sunday, Aug. 21, at 1 p.m. and the IFC convocation was held that same day at 4 p.m. Guillory said the time change did not affect the overall turnout and that no one withdrew from the process. Guillory said members who were affected by the flood still wanted to come
back and participate. “I think it says a lot [that you have] something to come back for,” Guillory said. “You’ve got a support system.” Group leaders provided information on the decision and its explanation to new members and their parents via email, text and verbal communication. Advisors, house moms and dads, chapter presidents and new member educators worked together to emphasize the importance of putting school first and that students’ schedules could be worked around. “Academics always come first,” Guillory said. “We’re never going to work against the university to say recruitment is a priority. It’s more than just recruitment. It’s a way to find your place and your home at LSU. And for so many people, they really need that.” The Daily Reveille reached out to several sorority members, but they did not respond to requests for comment. Sorority members are on an abridged silence currently, meaning they cannot post anything on social media related to recruitment. A complete social media silence begins Wednesday.

Key and defensive lineman adjusting and enjoying new roles BY JOSH THORNTON The LSU record for most sacks in a season is 12. LSU sophomore defensive end Arden Key wants to demolish that statistic. “I want 20 sacks,” he said firmly. After watching film from last season, the lanky 6-foot-6, 238-pound defensive lineman saw the many missed opportunities from his freshman season and sees his lofty goal as achievable because of his new role on defense. LSU defensive coordinator Dave

@JoshuaThornton_
Aranda has made the playbook “easier” for his defensive squad, Key said. The Atlanta, Georgia native is the starting “Buck” linebacker in Aranda’s new defense. The “Buck” linebacker requires Key to stand up, instead of putting his hand on the ground and using the three-point stance technique. Key won’t only be chasing after quarterbacks this season. Sometimes he’ll drop back in pass coverage to flank a
tight end or cover a running back. “It’s going to keep [the offense] guessing all the time,” Key said. “You can’t game plan off it. We can come [any type] of way. We can blitz and we can’t blitz.” Not only is Aranda teaching Key a new position, but he’s picking up tips from a rookie. Freshman defensive end Sci Martin, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound McDonogh High

Sports always find a way to surprise their viewers, and no sport is more captivating than soccer. In the British Premier League last season, Leicester City shocked the football world by overcoming tremendous odds - 5000 to 1, to be exact - to claim the 2016 title. But two matches into a new season, another club is already astounding me: Hull City A.F.C. Before the season, most experts had written off the Tigers, including myself. Hull City was freshly promoted into the BPL under the guidance of former manager Steve Bruce. But Bruce left the team three weeks before the season leaving Hull City without a fulltime manager, and assistant manager Mike Phelan was handed an interim role. The Tigers were the hot

Tigers compete in US Amateur Championship BY CHRIS CALDARERA @caldarera11
The U.S. Amateur Championship has featured Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, as well as senior Brandon Pierce and sophomores Sam Burns and Luis Gagne. The tournament began on Aug. 15, and all three Tigers competed for the 116th edition of this tournament in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. However, playing in the Amateur Championship is a bit different from donning the purple and gold. “Instead of playing for
a team, you are playing for yourself,” Gagne said. Gagne, who was not a member of the original field selected for the tournament, entered with an open mindset, he said. He contended with the field’s best young players, and advanced to quarterfinal play before Southern Cal’s Jonah Texeira defeated Gagne with a 3-and-2 victory after Texiera bested Gagne with a birdie the hole No. 16 and advanced to the semifinal round on Aug. 20. Although Burns and Gagne did not compete in team play like they do at LSU, they were pooled in the same group for the beginning of the tournament.
“Playing with a teammate gives you a sense of familiarity and comfort in tournaments like this,” Burns said. Burns was defeated in the Round of 32, while Pierce fell in the second round. Burns has competed in this tournament three times, and 2016 marked Pierce’s debut in the U.S. Amateur tournament. In all, the Tigers said they were pleased with their trip and received exposure to quality competition and courses they will see throughout this upcoming season, which begins Sept. 9 at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic in Georgia.

KEY, from page 3 product who racked up 28 sacks his senior year of high school, delivered small pointers to Key on better hand placement and the use of his long arms. Junior defensive lineman Davon Godchaux played defensive tackle in his first two seasons with the Tigers and originally No. 1 out as the team’s starting nose tackle in the spring and into fall camp in early August. That has since changed. And
now Godchaux is lining up at defensive end, and he was more than amendable with the change. “I’m very happy to be on the end dominating and doing what I do best,” Godchaux said about being a defensive end. Junior defensive lineman Greg Gilmore and sophomore Travonte Valentine will now man the middle of the defense, Godchaux’s former position. Valentine, who returned to LSU on Aug. 8 after being kicked
off the team in 2014, makes Godchaux’s job easier on the edge, with he and Gilmore demanding double teams. “He takes up double teams like I’ve never seen before,” Gilmore said. Senior defensive lineman Tashawn Bower has probably become the Tigers most versatile lineman. Bower said one day he practices in the “F” linebacker position and the next he can play in the “Buck” position.
The shuffling of positions is all to create “mismatches,” and the different linebacker roles are interchangeable. “It helps our team show disguises and all these other things that can confuse offense,” Bower said. Because of senior linebacker Corey Thompson’s leg injury, a duo of freshmen linebacker Ray Thornton and Michael Divinity — assumed the role as backup to Bower since Thompson will miss

pick for one of the three relegation slots with bettings odds at 10 to 11. How did the squad respond? Hull City beat the defending champs Leicester City, 2-1, on August 13th and followed the performance with a 2-0 win against Swansea City a week later. What makes the Tigers start more impressive is their depth, or lack thereof. When Phelan took over, he was left with only 13 first-team players to work with due to injuries. But Phelan is optimistic that the results will bring in new transfers. “The results over the two games will hopefully, make football players want to come to this football club,” Phelan said in an interview with the Hull Daily Mail. “We do need signings. We are looking to enhance the squad and, hopefully, they now have a different look about it when it comes to playing for this club.” Hull City will likely draw in players, and if they add a few transfers, they may be quite
dangerous. Not only will they avoid relegation, but they will be title contenders. If they get the additions, the Tigers will become the predators instead of the prey they were perceived to be. In the match against Leicester, possession was 50-50, and the Foxes had more shots, but the Tigers forced bad shots from the defending champs. It came down to Hull’s style of play sit back, defend and wait for chances. The extra defenders frustrate teams used to attacking, and Leicester was just the first to fall victim. Leicester committed 17 fouls and its players were visibly frustrated by the lack of quality chances. They will give up possession for quality defense, and if your opponents can’t score, you can’t lose. It’ll keep working. It’s early, but you shouldn’t be surprised if, come May, the Tigers are sitting near the top of the table, or even lifting hardware. I know I won’t be.
Not only will they easily avoid relegation, but they will be title contenders.

the start of the season. Ultimately, the goal of Aranda’s new scheme is simple: confuse the offense. But despite the different looks they will present on defense, none of the Tigers are too confused to grasp the nifty defensive presentation. “It’s fairly easy to comprehend,” Neal said about the new 3-4 defense. “Just got to study the playbook like a class. That’s what makes us play fast.”

Current political debate lacks finesse found in fencing JORDANSWERS JORDAN MARCELL @JordanCMarcell
It was almost impossible for the 2016 Rio Olympics, which closed in pomp and circumstance Sunday, to go unnoticed. The pitiful state of the American political scene should be equally prominent in the country’s consciousness. The Olympic event that surprised me in drawing my full philosophical attention is none other than the leaping swordplay commonly known as fencing. The more I read about the sport’s rules, the more I realized candidates today lack the sport’s grace. My logic and ethics classes taught me nearly every argument that graced some congressman’s lips was completely fallacious — or to put it in other terms: “hogwash.” In these classes, we discussed the power of any point just as much as the points made against it. I learned that progress in any conflict is not achieved by count-
less dimwitted attacks, but rather through an ability to listen, process, understand, relate, adapt and act as a well-rounded individual. Most of our nation’s leaders lack these values. In all fencing events aside from the Épée, there is a classical rule known as the ‘Right of Way.’ Essentially, it states that the only way a victim of an attack may win a point is to first defensively deal with an opponent’s attack, usually by means of a “parry” maneuver, and then successfully counter-attack, usually by means of a “riposte.” If the victim of an attack decides to handle the situation by entering into an offensive attack, they are sure to lose the point, as the “Right of Way” goes to the instigator of the first attack maneuver. This tactic is self-destructive, yet we see it happen to even the most highly trained athletes in times of panic or confusion. Sadly, this seems to be the only tactic most politicians know. None of them know how to deflect a blow by understanding the momentum and direction of the quickly ap-
proaching blade of their opponent’s counter, so they resort to horrendous attacks. Not only do they sacrifice the chance to speak for their cause by mudslinging and losing the point, they won’t hit their target anyway. Most of what they respond with are heated rants driven by personal conflict — and which others will recognize as being exactly such. Lets compare our nation’s leaders to fencers of the Épée class of weaponry — where the ‘Right of Way’ rule is done away with. When two opponents attack one another simultaneously, they both receive points. Yet fencers don’t really celebrate this because neither fencer has truly drawn ahead in winning — however, both fencers are coming closer to losing. There is a maximum number of points to be reached in fencing, and one does not want to share any of them. The level of risk is high here. So, though a candidate such as Donald Trump may be a hotshot when it comes to trash-talk, and his party might love him for it, he plays a truly dangerous game. That same candidate’s opposition might launch

their own attacks, and their people might love them too, yet their game is equally lethal. Neither draws closer to true victory, as neither truly seeks to maintain the composure to execute any parries or ripostes. They don’t wish to calmly handle their enemy’s words, assess those words and then respond to those words accordingly; they only wish to yell their claims louder than
their opponent’s. They listen not to understand, but rather laying in wait for their turn to speak. They cannot dodge, nor evade, nor point-in-line, but rather lunge and lunge until their legs break.

Chaos of presidential election disappointing, unappealing HARP ON IT
JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin I have one thing to say to our presidential contenders: You’re all a bunch of losers. This 2016 Hunger Games — I mean presidential election — has reached peak levels of insanity. I usually love fun, trashy drama, but the behavior of all of the candidates is absolutely ridiculous. Three months ago, Donald Trump’s craziness and Hillary Clinton’s whiteness were entertaining. As we enter the final
stretch before election day, their acts have started to wear thin. Trump’s unpredictability carried him through the primaries. The media had an unquenchable thirst for his antics, and the public embraced his outsider status. These days, Trump seems willing to do anything for a headline, including travelling to a flood-ravaged Louisiana to volunteer for 49 seconds, donate $100,000 and take a bunch of pictures. I’m grateful for Trump’s donation to our state, but I can’t help but wonder why someone who claims to be worth $10 billion could only come up with $100,000. Taylor Swift’s net worth is a paltry $253 million, yet she
managed to scrape up a $1 million donation for Louisiana flood relief. Is Trump spending all of his money on “Make America Great Again” hats, or does a larger donation require a photo-op with a black kid? Clinton, on the other hand, has reached the pinnacle of white person status. When her campaign isn’t being hacked by Russians, she’s out campaigning with her vice presidential pick and local dad, Tim Kaine. Like most typical white people, Clinton has been able to avoid getting into trouble for her actions — both the legally questionable and embarrassing ones.
I have a slight hope Hillary will surprise us all throughout debate season and embrace a more presidential demeanor, but I’m not counting on it. Jill Stein and Gary Johnson are irrelevant. If you vote for them, you’re throwing away your vote and helping the leading candidate in your state. If you don’t believe me, please refer to Ralph Nader and Florida in 2000. #Bye. With the presidential nominees lacking, anyone seeking true leadership should hone in on state elections. Louisiana’s U.S. Senate race is nearly bursting at the seams with candidates.

New professor ‘bred for music education’ BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ This fall semester, the LSU School of Music welcomes its new assistant professor of voice, Brandon Hendrickson. After instructing for six years at the University of South Dakota, Hendrickson, a University alumnus, has returned to continue teaching as well as performing. Hendrickson brings with him a résumé of operatic, vocal and teaching experience he plans to use in his instruction. Not only did Hendrickson always have music around in his childhood home, but his mother, father and sister are all music educators. “One could say I was just born and bred for music education,” Hendrickson said. Outside of general music education, Hendrickson has a particular passion for operatic performance, which he says began his freshman year at Simpson College in Iowa. Coincidentally, it was the same university where he learned about what he describes as “the greatness of LSU.” Operatic performance not only involves singing, but also includes pieces of dialogue, costumes, scenery and sometimes dancing. These performances are typically accompanied by an orchestra and are performed in an opera house. Hendrickson says that associate professor Dugg McDonough, the artistic director of LSU Opera, would come during the summer to assist with the vocal festival season in Indianola, Iowa. After meeting McDonough,
MICHAEL PALMER / The Daily Reveille
LSU assistant professor of voice Brandon Hendrickson brings his operatic experience to campus as a new addition to the staff. Hendrickson decided to pursue his graduate degree at the University from 2004-2006 and then go on to complete his doctorate in 2010. “It’s truly an honor to be serving with a faculty of this nature,” Hendrickson says. “[I hope] to be able to give what I can and share my knowledge with the students here and continue to learn while I’m here as a faculty member.” The LSU School of Music expects professors to continue practicing their craft in addition to teaching in the classroom, something Hendrickson is happy to oblige. He adds that, coming into the semester, he already has about one performance lined up per month and plans to actively audition for more in places like New York City. “I hope to bring, through the different performances that I have around the country, a network back to the students here, the knowledge that I’m gaining
on those performances, different performance ideas, styles and techniques, while I’m meeting with different performers around the world,” Hendrickson said. Although Hendrickson carries a lengthy résumé packed with a variety of performances, he said his favorite moments are when he sees the impact of his teaching on students. As much as he loves to perform, he is an educator at his core. Upon his move back to Baton Rouge last week, Hendrickson lost his car and the home he was slated to buy in last week’s historic flood. But Hendrickson said, “much of the beauty of southern Louisiana is in her people.” As he puts it, it is the joie de vivre, or the exuberant enjoyment of life, that provides a source of inspiration. “The culture’s great, the food’s great, there are lots of artistic opportunities down here, but the beauty truly lies within her people,” Hendrickson said.
BRAF sets up LSU employee relief fund BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter The Baton Rouge Area Foundation established the LSU Employee Assistance Fund at the request of LSU President F. King Alexander, according to a news release from University Relations. The fund was created to aid University workers who were affected by disasters and hardships, such as the recent flood. The fund was set up through BRAF’s Employees 1st program, which helps expedite the availability of flood relief funds to employees, according to the release. The program sprang from BRAF’s efforts after Hurricane Katrina to provide short-term financial assistance to workers.
“While the LSU campus was relatively untouched, many of our Tiger family suffered ruinous damage to their homes. Employees and students’ lives are in upheaval. We have a duty to help them, and I am asking all Tigers everywhere to join together in support of our LSU community,” Alexander said in the release. The University recently set up the Student Relief Fund, which provides monetary awards for students affected by the flood. University employees also have the option to donate paid time off to other employees affected by the disaster. Other programs, such as a free laundry service and the LSU Food Pantry, are also in place to help stu-
dents and employees, the release said. LSU Dining and Chartwells also provided a complimentary dinner service. The University Registrar’s Office will also reprint any LSU diploma damaged in the flooding free of charge. “The LSU Board of Supervisors is supporting the appeal effort from the local to the international level. We feel that we have to do something quickly to help our employees and students in this critical time of need,” said board chairman Ray Lasseigne.
