Staff services affected by flood
Local bars, businesses detail effects of Baton Rouge’s post-flood curfews
BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_
JORDAN MARCELL / The Daily Reveille
BY NATALIE ANDERSON | @natalie_mechell University students’ anticipated return to Tigerland bars and Highland Road restaurants was delayed after a parish-wide curfew stalled area nightlife activity in the days leading up to the start of the fall semester. The curfew extended from Tuesday, Aug. 16 to Monday, Aug. 22. From Tuesday to Thursday, the curfew was from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. On Friday, the curfew spanned from
midnight until 6 a.m. to allow more time for the community to conduct business. Marc Fraioli, the owner of Fred’s in Tigerland, said he did not feel the curfew was necessary for the University area. “I totally was against the curfew and didn’t see any need for it,” Fraioli said. Fred’s changed its open bar hours from 8-10 p.m. to 7-9 p.m. The bar stayed open until midnight every night during
the curfew. Fraioli said while Tuesday and Wednesday were usually not busy nights, Thursday’s turnout was low, and only about 40 people had to leave when the bar closed at midnight. He said most people left on their own around 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday night because of the curfew. “Everybody knows so many people that were affected by [the flood],” Fraioli said.

The University was not untouched by the historic flood that ravaged South Louisiana earlier this month. Though campus did not sustain much physical harm, many University employees and students were affected. While the University’s damage was less significant than other areas, the faculty and staff have had to put in work to make up for the lost week prior to the start of the semester, said Dan Layzell, vice president for Finance and Administration. “From the facilities and the grounds of the campus, we were affected not very much,” Layzell said. “Obviously we had some flood-related damage, we had some buildings that got water in them … but none of them were inhabited buildings. So I would say from that standpoint, the impact was minor.” While there were key problem areas, the flooding caused little to no damage to the majority of campus. Buildings such as Pleasant Hall, Hatcher Hall, Middleton Library, the Student Health Center and the Edward Gay apartments were not affected by the flooding itself, but by the severity of the rainfall, said David H. Maharrey Jr., executive director of Facility Services.

CURFEW, from page 1 “I think that had an impact, too.” Fred’s expected the past two weekends to be busy because of students’ return to campus and rush week. However, because of the devastation from the flood and rush week’s postponement, Fred’s took a slight hit, with sales down about 25 percent. “I guess it was kind of hard, in the beginning, to differentiate between the curfew and just the impact of what happened, as so many people [were] affected by
SERVICE, from page 1 “A lot of the rain events, it all depends on how the rain comes,” Maharrey said. “A lot of times, it’s not the inches, it’s when they come.” Most of the buildings affected were built with basements, originally intended for use by mechanics. As the University has grown, these basements now house rooms used for classes, Maharrey said. Buildings were also left vulnerable because of improper sealing of the basements, meant
the flooding,” Fraioli said. Several media outlets reported Baton Rouge Mayor-President Melvin L. “Kip” Holden said he did not feel that the parish needed a curfew, but Gov. John Bel Edwards issued an executive order giving East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid J. Gautreaux III authorization to initiate and enforce the limitation. At a press conference two weeks ago, Gautreaux said he requested the governor enact the executive order after surveying conditions throughout
the parish. He said he made the decision to enact the curfew after conferring with the sheriff in Livingston Parish and assessing the damage in East Baton Rouge. “I feel this is the best way to protect our residents, our first responders and our property,” Gautreaux said at the press conference. “My first priority is the safety of residents and first responders. I have an obligation to secure the property of the public and business owners.” While business at Fred’s in Tigerland was affected by the
curfew, Highland Road Raising Cane’s manager Colin McArdle said he was personally affected by the flood and understood the need for a curfew. McArdle said Raising Cane’s closed an hour and a half before curfew. The restaurant offered a limited menu, known as its emergency menu, so food would not spoil in the event of a power outage or another emergency. McArdle said the restaurant’s business was low during the day but picked up at night. “For the most part, people understood,” McArdle said.
to prevent water from entering. For example, Middleton Library’s basement, which houses state government documents, had been sealed halfway for water intrusion, but still lacks sealing around the other half of the building, said Sigrid Kelsey, director of Library Communications and Publications. “We have had problems with leaks in the past. Every time we have heavy rain, water comes in to the basement of Middleton,” Kelsey said. “Each time it happens, logically, it gets a little bit
worse as leaks get bigger.” Waterproofing buildings, along with fixing leaks that did not pose immediate threats, still remain on a list of repairs being made campus-wide at any given time, Kelsey said. Other significant issues were the ways in which the University’s faculty and staff were personally affected by the flood. Most live in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas, making their residences susceptible for flooding, Layzell said. Amid the devastation, some University offices
reported only being staffed around 30 percent after the initial flooding. “Some things we’re having to see what can be done,” Maharrey said. “There are certain projects that are waiting that we’re going to get done.” Since the week before students’ return to campus is usually a critical time for University preparation, being understaffed forced administrators to reevaluate for a more appropriate end date for many projects slated for completion at the beginning of the semester, Maharrey said. Assistant Vice President of Residential Life and Housing Steve Waller said those able to make it back to campus following the flooding, some of whom had nothing left at their homes, helped out with understaffed move-in day activities. “The positive thing is our staff stepped up,” Waller said. “Our graduate assistants, our live-in professionals and resident life coordinators … they were out there moving the traffic and supervising with the volunteers.”

GAME WEEK PREVIEW Ahead of Saturday’s season-opening matchup at 2:30 p.m. at Lambeau Field, The Daily Reveille breaks down Wisconsin’s position groups on both sides of the ball. OFFENSE Returning starters: Six 2015 Total offense rank: No. 79 2015 Scoring offense rank: No. 81
Quarterback After waiting nearly four years for his turn, Wisconsin redshirt senior quarterback Bart Houston will start his first college football game against LSU, beating out freshman Alex Hornibrook in August. Houston replaces Joel Stave, who was 31-10 in his four years as a starter. The 6-foot-4, 224-pound signal caller has only thrown 51 passes in his career. Houston also punted in four games during the 2014 season.
BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ No. 5 LSU and unranked Wisconsin will square off Sept. 3 for the first-ever college football game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. LSU’s 53-game non-conference win streak will be on the line versus the unranked Badgers, who went 10-3 last season, including a 23-21 Holiday Bowl victory against Southern California on Dec. 31. Including LSU, Wisconsin’s schedule includes matchups against five teams ranked in the Associated Press’ Top 25.
The last time these teams faced off resulted in a 28-24 LSU win in 2014, at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Badgers head into the season unranked in the preseason poll for the first time since 2009 and bring their two top leading rushers, and have a new quarterback under center. Wisconsin also replaced defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who spent three seasons with the Badgers, ranking in the top five national in every major defensive category: total defense (passing yards and rushing yards) and scoring defense (points allowed).
Running back
Wide receiver/tight end
Senior running backs Corey Clement and Dare Ogunwale headline Wisconsin’s rushing attack. Ogunwale was the leading rusher for the Badgers last season with 819 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Clement, who was the former backup to Melvin Gordon, returns after a sports hernia injury hampered his junior season.
The Badgers will be without leading receiver, now-Cincinnati Bengal Alex Erickson — who caught 77 passes for 978 yards last season — but their No. 2 and No. 3 leading receivers return: senior wide receiver Robert Wheelwright and junior tight end Troy Fumagalli.
DEFENSE Returning starters: Six 2015 Total defense rank: No. 2 2015 Defensive scoring rank: No. 1 Wisconsin led the nation in scoring defense last season and returns every member from its front seven except for All-Big Ten linebacker Joe Schobert. Players to watch include linebacker Chris Orr, linebacker Vince Biegel and nose guard Conor Sheehy. New defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, likes to use multiple defensive fronts just as his predecessor Dave Aranda. “You talk about scheme, which is important,” Wilcox told the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel in April. “There’s a lot of ways to do it. There’s a 4-3, a 4-2-5, a 3-4 and a 3-3-5, and it all works.”
Hope Solo’s suspension should be permanent ON THE MARC MARC STEVENS @MarcStevens_TDR In recent years, United States goalkeeper Hope Solo was the world’s best goalie and the first-choice option for the women’s national team. But Solo’s recent attitude and past actions have finally caught up to her, and the U.S. Soccer Federation handed Solo a six-month suspension from the national team. The final piece of a sequence of inappropriate actions was when she hurled insults at Sweden’s team after an upset loss on penalty kicks in the Olympic quarterfinals. “We played a bunch of cowards,” Solo said in the post-game press conference on Aug. 12. “The best team did not win today. I strongly, firmly believe that.” Despite its length, the suspension is virtually meaningless. Solo will miss nothing important, as the only games

LSU loses second consecutive match to Colgate University BY MILES JORDAN @MilesBJordan LSU soccer dropped its second home match of the season against Colgate University, 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at the LSU Soccer Stadium. Colgate (1-0-2, 0-0 Patriot League) entered Baton Rouge winless, coming off two-straight double overtime ties last weekend. The Raiders claimed their first win yesterday
and doubled their scoring total from two to four after Sunday’s two goals. In a second-consecutive home match, LSU (1-3-0, 0-0 Southeastern Conference) netted one goal, yet allowed two or more. The Tigers came out aggressive, looking to get the ball down the field to their forwards, junior forward Jorian Baucom said. The Tigers earned multiple free kick
opportunities in the sixth, 10th, and 24th minutes. Colgate opened up scoring in the 39th minute, when junior midfielder Eliza Doll knocked in a free kick from outside the box, giving the Raiders a 1-0 advantage heading into the half. LSU was rewarded when Baucom entered the box and earned herself a penalty kick opportunity.

Madden NFL 17 release boosted by impressive new features BY JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford It’s that time of year again: school is back in full swing, college football is on the horizon and, of course, Madden is back. If you’re like me, the annual release of Madden means football season has officially begun, and this time, EA Tiburon is swinging for the fences. While most NFL offenses this year will focus on the passing game, Madden NFL 17 puts the spotlight on the running game. Madden overhauls the animations around the ball carrier, including new jukes, spins and a quick time minigame to break out of tackles. Running the ball feels more physical, and running over a defender at full speed with Adrian Peterson feels more rewarding and visceral. At the same time, it’s balanced, so don’t expect to be juking out defenders with Frank Gore or trucking linebackers with LeSean McCoy. The running game is also where Madden’s new player– friendly changes are most evident. If you play on the rookie or pro
difficulty levels (the two lowest), you will see new graphic assists, including a path showing which direction your ball carrier is heading and button prompts on the best move to perform to avoid tacklers. You can let the computer do all the fancy footwork while you simply steer the player. The new-player love continues over to the defensive side of the ball. With auto-flip for plays based on how the offense lines up, defensive linemen adjust to offensive line shifts and defenders adjust more often to fill gaps in the run game. However, there are still plenty of new features that will impress die-hard fans and football junkies alike. The greatest change is the complete overhaul of zone coverages. While previous Madden games had only three underneath zone coverage assignments, there are 10 in Madden 17. The developers also improved the artificial intelligence of how defenders execute their assignments. You can now assign a “force defender” and “crash defender” to attack the run game
more strategically. Throw in the new gap assignments, and the defense balances out with the changes made to the running game. Madden didn’t forget special teams, either. To set power and accuracy when kicking, you now have to press a button three times, similar to golfing video games. When aiming your kick, you change the arc and direction and have to hold it in place, which increases the difficulty. Developers also claimed they tweaked the mechanics around blocking kicks and punts to represent a more realistic frequency of blocks. But I have yet to see any blocked field goals or punts. In a move that Les Miles will appreciate, they have also added more trick punts and field goals. Moving over to game modes, Madden Ultimate Team, Draft Champions and Connected Franchise all return. There are several minor changes made to both franchise and MUT, which have been met with positive response. The most significant change is the addition of “play the moments” in franchise mode.

Madden NFL 17 includes updates such as an overhaul of zone coverage. This allows you to only play certain key situations in a game, including, third downs, key drives and red zone situations. The rest of the game is simulated to a realistic degree and reduces the total play time of one game down to about 20 minutes. I am in love with this new feature, and I think you will be too. It feels like the Madden team made a serious attempt to improve gameplay this year. However, I still have my grievances. The graphics look exactly the same as last year’s, most in-game menus also look the same as they did five years ago and the new
commentary is boring. AI blocking both on-the-line and downfield is still terrible, running can be overpowered, and load times are a bit too slow for a nextgen title. There have also been widespread reports of bugs, glitches and online play not working. On my PS4 copy, I encountered several bugs and experienced soft crashes about six times. Hopefully, a potential patch, rumored to come in early September, will solve these problems. With balanced gameplay and solid feature additions, Madden has nailed it this year and is definitely worth the buy.

Missing women of color overlooked by mainstream media RYLED UP RYAN THAXTON @ryanthax America has a racist history — one that has permeated every facet of our culture and will forever linger. Mainstream media is no exception, showing more attention and care to white bodies than darker ones. Since July 2014, fourteen young black and Latina girls have gone missing in the Bronx, six of whom went missing this past June alone. Initial concerns linked the disappearance to a forced prostitution ring, yet, until recently, it’s been nearly impossible to find information online about any of these girls. The most recent girl to disappear, 20-year-old Maylin Reynoso, blew up on social media after those who knew her realized there was no coverage of her disappearance from news outlets other than Latin-specific ones. Instead, these major news
outlets were covering the disappearance of 30-year-old Karina Vetrano, an Italian-American woman assaulted and murdered in the same week as Reynoso. The murder of Vetrano is horrific and significant, but why isn’t Reynoso, who showed up dead four days later in the Harlem River, also making headlines? The story of a possible forced prostitution ring targeting minors as young as 12 is definitely newsworthy. Reynoso’s story and the other black and Latina girls who were reported missing have become a symbol of awareness for the tens of thousands of young women of color who go missing every year across the country. Another example of women of color suffering from lack of media attention involves Native American women. On some reservations, Native women are murdered at more than ten times the national average, yet no organization, federal or private, knows how many Native women are actually missing. What has allowed a whole group
of people to be so wholly ignored by mainstream culture that their own country doesn’t even keep tabs on crimes against them? Despite women of color going missing at higher rates than white women, they receive less media coverage from mainstream sources. This tendency for news outlets to cover murders and abductions of affluent white girls more than those of boys, poor kids, and children of color has been termed by PBS news anchor Gwen Ifill as “Missing White Girl Syndrome.” This is just another example of how white women and children are considered more valuable by U.S. culture. The news value is lowered when people of color are the subject of crime because of a common view that these individuals are not blameless in their own disappearance. The typical image of a missing person correlates with the general image of innocence: blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. This mindset is more than just neglectful — it’s dangerous.
Of course, some cases need more attention than others, but the devaluing of people of color who go missing causes them to receive less attention and puts less pressure on law enforcement to investigate and prosecute their cases. The stark contrast in coverage is even more troubling when we consider the rates at which people of color go missing compared to white people. Black Americans make up just 13 percent of the population, yet they account for 34 percent of all missing persons. News outlets have a responsibility to alert audiences of insidious acts within their communities, regardless of race. When these outlets fail to fully report certain missing persons cases, they don’t just fail the families of these victims, but the millions of other women of color who are further at risk by not being alerted to the dangers facing them. As Malcolm X once famously said, and Beyoncé later made famous to white people in Lemonade, “The most disrespected,
unprotected, and neglected person in America is the black woman.” Ryan Thaxton is a 20-year-old mass communication sophomore from Monroe, Louisiana.
Whites and Hispanics compose 80.1% of the U.S. population, but compose
60 percent of missing persons.
Black Americans represent 12.85% of the population, but represent 34 percent
of missing persons reported in 2012.
Black children accounted for 33.2% of missing children in 2010, but received
19.5 percent of media coverage.

American identity, citizenship not defined by race JORDANSWERS JORDAN MARCELL @JordanCMarcell A waitress of Honduran and Mexican descent who works at a restaurant in Harrisonburg, Virginia received an interesting note from the customers she waited on recently. While she served them, the diners answered her with only nods and silent looks. When they departed, they left the phrase “We only tip citizens” on the receipt in place of
a tip. There is a lot to be said about this type of situation, but let me focus on one element in particular: the idea of what constitutes an “American.” This discussion isn’t about citizenship, but rather national identity. It seems today that the only people who have the “America for Americans” attitude tend to fit the demographic of politically conservative Anglo-Saxon descent. The problem arises when those who consider themselves “American” set their own definition of the term. Sadly, it seems anyone who is the color of the

lightest of coffees does not qualify as American in their book. This isn’t just about politics or economics. This is about ingrained ideas of racial superiority. This is about the fact that one particular group of people believes that it is their responsibility to “put up with” everyone else’s shenanigans, and that the rest of us are at their graces. The truth is that they are simply renting a room in the apartment building that is the Western Hemisphere. The human species originated in the southern portion of the African continent; in fact, one could
even say with a degree of correctness that all of human civilization is just some extended form of an African colony. If neither the fact that our entire species is a migrant breed or that people were here far before navigational ships existed humbles you, then perhaps you’ve a ready forgotten what I’ve said. But before you use the term “American” again, consider this: if we aren’t all American, then none of us are. To those people who condone and applaud the prejudiced efforts of a select few who make life more difficult for others, remember that you are the ‘others’ as well.
The sad fact is some people simply think they own this nation including its tips, its waitresses, and they have the right to say or do nearly anything when it comes to dealing with people that are unlike them. Truly, they own just as much as everybody else, and this means that they do not own the right to determine who is and isn’t an American simply by glancing at them.

Monday, August 29, 2016 SOLO, from page 3 scheduled are two friendlies in September, and the squad does not have a competitive match until later in 2017. She’s been a headache throughout her entire career. However, given her age and declining form, U.S. Soccer should go one step further this time and ban Solo permanently from the USWNT. Her comments were a part of the reason for her suspension, but in the end U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said it was a list of incidents that will leave the U.S. without its most decorated keeper in national team history. “Taking into consideration the past incidents involving Hope, as well as the private conversations we’ve had requiring her to conduct herself in a manner befitting a U.S. National Team member, U.S. Soccer determined this is the appropriate disciplinary action,” Gulati said in a statement to ESPN Wednesday. Her first incident came immediately after the 2007 World Cup. Then-36-year-old Briana Scurry replaced Solo in the middle of the tournament. In the semifinal against Brazil, the U.S. conceded two firsthalf goals, saw a player sent off and ultimately were defeated, 4-0. Solo criticized her coach after the game, calling his decision making into question. Solo was arrested and charged with two counts of assault against two family members in 2014. She was not disciplined for this incident. In January 2015, U.S. soccer suspended the Richland, Washington, native for 30 days for a separate incident — she was the passenger in a car while her husband was arrested for driving under the influence. The Sweden outburst is just the latest in a career full of missteps, and it’s time to end it. She has been given multiple opportunities to change. She was allowed to stay on the team because she was the consensus best goalkeeper on the planet. But her performance throughout the Olympics shows that is not the case. She conceded two goals for a draw against Colombia, and in the match against Sweden saved only one penalty kick throughout the shootout. After enabling Solo for her entire career, it’s time for U.S. Soccer to do the right thing by making suspension permanent.
