STATE
After receiving critical acclaim from teammates and coaches alike during the last two spring football sessions, junior wide receiver D.J. Chark’s long-awaited breakthrough finally came on Saturday during LSU’s 23-20 victory against Mississippi State at Tiger Stadium. Chark reeled in a 37-yard strike from redshirt junior quarterback Danny Etling in the back of the endzone, jetting LSU (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) out to an early lead and its first points in the first quarter this season. The reception served both as Chark’s first career receiving touchdown. “I knew I had a deep post on the play, and I knew what [junior wide receiver Malachi Dupre’s] assignment was,” Chark said. “He did a good job for taking his guy, so it was one-on-one. And Danny threw a great ball. I was just trying to look in until the tuck, like coach always tells me, and try to get my feet inbounds.” Chark was targeted five times and finished with three catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. His performance booked him a ticket to the post-game media room. The soft-spoken speedster still isn’t used to the attention and offered a sheepish laugh while reporters flocked to his post. “Go D.J.!” senior and fellow wide receiver Travin Dural yelled from beyond the wall of reporters. Chark’s transcendence has been promised since the spring of 2015, following the former four-star prospect’s freshman season. But he only appeared in five games last year with no starts or catches. Then came “the play.” Chark’s jets were on display in last season’s Texas
Prior to a “fireside chat” with LSU President F. King Alexander, U.S. Education Secretary John B. King detailed to an auditorium full of reporters, students and higher education leaders his experience watching of Cameron Sterling, the 15-year-old son of Alton Sterling who was killed by police this summer, at a press conference. King said Cameron provided a glimpse of the “vast potential of every young person on every street and neighborhood” in America. “I watched this teen, who had just lost his father to sudden, shattering violence, call on Americans of every race and background to come together as one united family.” King’s appearance in Baton Rouge Friday came at the conclusion of the final leg of “Opportunity Across America” back-to-school bus tour. The tour also stopped in Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Virginia before cruising to Louisiana. Before speaking at the University, the secretary visited

LSU students perform at Festival Fringe in Scotland BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ Traveling more than 4,400 miles, students from the University participated in a study abroad program combining their learning with multiple performances in France and Scotland. In July, Associate Professor of Movement Nick Erickson and 14 students travelled to Edinburgh, Scotland, to perform their derived work called “SAVAGE/LOVE.” The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and consists of more than 50,000 performances of more than 3,000 shows in more than 250 venues all across Edinburgh. The students came together to develop this work which
consisted of spoken word, acting, dancing, aerial art and live video. “SAVAGE/LOVE” takes the play created by Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin, and uses its original poems, music and film to create the work performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last July. “What we did, was we adapted the text, which is a collection of about 19 poems, that all were real or imagined moments in the spell of love,” Erickson said. “They’re all thematically connected. There wasn’t an overarching narrative or a story or a plot like you would normally expect in a regular stage play.” As the script was a

LSU coach Les Miles tried a similar look on the first snap from scrimmage on Saturday — this time a reverse on a pitch from junior running back Leonard Fournette. Tiger Stadium roared when its darling son took the pitch, but the Bulldogs sniffed out the play and corralled Chark for a four-yard loss. The 6-foot-3 wideout said he doesn’t quite understand “Tiger Nation’s” affinity for him, but it’s what fuels his play. “When I’m out there, I try to just stay in the game, but it’s hard to ignore the eruption that I hear,” Chark said. “It motivates me to do it the next play. We have one of the best fanbases in the country … Knowing they’re on my side is a great feeling.” Chark appeared ahead of Dupre, who struggled reeling in the ball early in the season, lining up in most of LSU’s twowide sets with Dural and staying

Every two years, Erickson accompanies a group of students on this study abroad program to Europe. This is the fifth show Erickson took to Edinburgh. Erickson uses the first year between trips to select the next performance pieces. The year before the trip, students are brought together through classes and workshops with creative and technical directors to devise the show from the ground up. “Theatre is a collaborative venture,” Erickson said. “Much of the work was developed early on and intimately with a projectionist and lighting designer … and the costume designer.” Erickson largely attributes the choices to the ability to creatively experiment with various aspects of the show. The most experimental part of the

What we found worked with those skills and talents of each guy.” A second touchdown could have improved his career day, but Chark, who said he’s struggled with consistency, showed a lack of focus, dropping what would have been an 18-yard touchdown. Chark told his teammates on the sideline that play was behind him and he was purely focused on catching the next ball that came his way — and he did, he said. “I’m really just grateful that I can actually be in there this year,” Chark said. “I went through a lot of ups and downs, and now that I’m out there, it’s a great feeling knowing that I’m playing with two guys that I’ve really look up to since my freshman year.” show was the use of live video, Erickson said, where performers would hold video cameras and their livestreamed image would be projected behind them, allowing the audience to view the scene from a different angle. The 14 students who participated in the study abroad program spent a week in France, while the rest of the time was spent in Edinburgh rehearsing and performing the show. The 14 students were not all theatre majors but had majors ranging from pre-med to business to communication studies. “I allowed for every student on the trip to showcase the best that they have to offer,” Erickson said. “What has always been my challenge is that I have to work with the students who sign up.” The students who participated in the study abroad program got to learn about the history of the cities they visited as well as explore the cities in their free time. “To develop this new sense of themselves as global citizens,”

Messages of support and thanks are written on U.S. Education Secretary John B. King’s ‘Opportunity Across America’ tour bus, which stopped in Baton Rouge on Friday.
University Terrace Elementary School, where he distributed school supplies and spoke with teachers and students affected by flooding, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Education. King and Alexander discussed numerous topics relating to higher education and college affordability. King said one of the most common factors driving college tuition up is disinvestment in higher education at the state level. “States should put more dollars into public higher education,” King said. “Our challenge throughout the country is getting governors and legislatures to see that the investment in higher education is not an expense. It’s a long-term investment for the good of the state’s economy.” In July, the LSU Board of Supervisors voted to raise tuition by $242 per semester for in-state undergraduate students. That came on the heels of the Louisiana State Legislature failing to fund the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) at 93 percent for this fall and 47 percent for the spring. Another recurring topic, which was brought up by an audience
member, was federal and state aid for undocumented students who came with their parents to America illegally. “We should make higher ed support at the federal level available to students who are undocumented,” King said. “Unfortunately, there are significant political obstacles in the way of that. It’s important that we support our undocumented students. Alexander told the news media afterward he agreed with the secretary, adding, “Why is it okay for undocumented students to fight and die for our country and protect us, but then we don’t give them federal student aid?” King said he thought Louisiana was a fitting place to end the bus tour, as the University is “creating a culture of access for all students.” King said last year the University posted its highest fall and spring sixth-year graduation rates, including increasing enrollment and graduation for African-American students. “This is, therefore, a fitting place to celebrate the progress we’ve made as a country over the last seven-and-a-half years to increase access, affordability and completion,” King said. “It’s also a fitting place to assess the work we have left to do.”
Erickson said of a major goal of his study abroad program. “We learn a lot through books and through lectures and through experiences here in America, but it’s only when we
travel abroad … and when we really immerse ourselves in other cultures … that we realize how profound it is to be on a planet where everything is now so interdependent.”

LSU climbs two spots to No. 18 in AP Poll

KEY
BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU’s on the move again. In Sunday’s weekly release of the AP Poll, LSU (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) climbed two spots from No. 20 to No. 18 after its 23-20 win against Mississippi State on Saturday. The SEC has a total of eight teams ranked in the top 25, with half of them coming from the SEC West division. Alabama, Ohio State, Louisville, Michigan and Clemson round out the top five in the fourth release of the poll this season. The Tigers will travel to face unranked Auburn (1-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) on Sept. 24. LSU was as high as No. 5 in the AP Poll to begin the season, then fell to No. 21 after its 16-14 loss against Wisconsin. The Tigers are the sixthhighest ranked SEC team in the top 25.
‘We love getting after the quarterback’: Defense enjoys six-sack night versus Mississippi State
BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_
CURRENT RANK
No. 18 LSU sophomore defensive end Arden Key didn’t want to miss out on his second opportunity. Mississippi State quarterback Damian Williams rolled out to his right, spotted an open receiver, planted his feet to throw — and found himself on the ground, confused and searching for the football. Key had just hopped onto Williams’ back, causing a gamesaving — and possibly season-saving — sack as the Bulldogs, down by three points, were marching on offense with less than 1:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. LSU (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) junior defensive end Davon Godchaux wrestled the ball away from Mississippi State offensive lineman Devon Desper to secure LSU’s 23-20 victory against Mississippi State. The cause of this disorientation was from Key, who used his speed to take down Williams on fourth down and end any chance of a comeback for Mississippi State. On the previous play, Key was just a few seconds short of making another sack. “I got real close,” he said. “I said ‘OK I got to get him.’” Key has a lofty goal of 20 sacks this season, and he’s on pace to complete it — and then some. After three games this season, Key has five sacks, already matching his entire 2015 total. “We love getting after the quarterback,” said senior defensive end Lewis Neal. “That speed is hard to stop. [Key] knows his strengths. We love getting him on the edge and getting all of us on the edge.” Key wasn’t the only defensive lineman that “got after” the quarterback. The LSU defensive line racked up six sacks and eight tackles for loss against the Bulldogs. “We had some guys that can fly,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “Lewis Neal, certainly Arden Key, Kendell Beckwith — those guys can hit the quarterbacks, and they’re a devastating weapon on third down.” LSU’s defense, behind the pass rushers, allowed a mere

LSU’s offense opens playbook, trick plays set up 23-20 win BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ The 99,910 fans in attendance at Tiger Stadium saw something new besides LSU’s gold jerseys on Saturday. Lined up in the pistol formation, junior quarterback Danny Etling handed the ball off to tailback Leonard Fournette only for the All-Southeastern running back to pitch the ball to junior wide receiver D.J. Chark on a reverse. Chark ran across field to an array of Mississippi State defenders waiting to tackle him for a loss of four yards. Instead of No. 7 carrying the ball on the first play of the game, it was a speedy wide receiver trying to get a “feel” for the defense in the Tigers 23-20 win against the Bulldogs. “We’ve been practicing them,” Etling said about the “counteraction” plays, as LSU coach Les Miles called the reverse. “Why practice them if you’re not going to call them?” Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron dialed up three different trick plays in the first half. By the end of the half, Etling wasn’t the only player to throw a pass.
KEY, from page 3 three points to the Bulldogs in the first half. Mississippi State accounted for 80 total yards of offense through the first 30 minutes. “That’s something that we always stress,” Neal said. “We anchor a lot of the team, and we’re a spark to the team … It’s hard to lose when you win the line of scrimmage.” Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda showed multiple defensive fronts throughout the game, but what was most successful for the Tigers was getting to a similar style of play. “We blitzed a lot and went back to the original 4-3 front,” Key said. “That’s what we do best.” Mississippi State entered the game rushing for more than 200
Fournette nearly completed a touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Travin Dural, and junior wide receiver Malachi Dupre overthrew Etling on another reverse pass play. “I would like to have those
reverse calls back if I could get them right now,” Miles said. Though the trickery the Tigers tried to pull was to no avail, it was a stark contrast from the normal toss dive running plays out of the I-formation LSU fans
are used to seeing. Trickery was just one piece of the puzzle for the LSU offense on Saturday. Mississippi State’s defensive backs were shown multiple looks. Dupre some-

Sophomore nose tackle Travonte Valentine and junior nose tackle Greg Gilmore clogged up running lanes. LSU kept Mississippi State to only rush for 56 yards. Fun ensued. “We stopped the run so it was time to have some fun,” Neal said. Though Mississippi State outscored LSU 17-0 in the second half and nearly rallied to win the game, Miles thought this game was one of LSU’s most complete outings of the season. But he believes they have potential to be better on defense. “I thought this was a very solid outing,” Miles said. “But they can be so much more; we finished the game on offense.”

times lined up in the slot, and Chark moved into the X-receiver position. “We really were just moving around and looking for different ways we can take advantage of the specific defense,” Chark said. Chark, Dupre and Dural were successful in their respective roles. Dupre, who had problems with dropped passes in the first two games, lead LSU with 54 receiving yards and had four catches. The shifting of roles on offense lead to a more relaxed environment for the wideouts, Chark said. “I didn’t feel that much pressure, because Malachi and Travin were getting open,” Chark said about lining up in different positions. “We were really in sync.” For the most part, LSU’s attack on offense was balanced, and was able to gain 215 yards on the ground with 36 rushing attempts and throwing 30 passes for 215 yards. To Miles, stability on offense is always his goal. “It’s always been my desire to be 50-50 on any given down,” Miles said. “Danny Etling executed the things that we asked him to do, and I think that’s really the story here.”

North Dakota pipeline overlooks Native American sovereignty ALL’S NAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair
Thousands of people from around the world stand in solidarity with members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota, as its members continue to fight against the construction of the North Dakota Access Pipeline. This pipeline is said to have the capacity to transport 470,000 barrels of crude oil each day, which would provide over 300 million gallons of gasoline per day. The search for domestic oil sources to replace our foreign dependency is desperate and controversial — something we saw in 2010 with the Keystone XL pipeline. The difference here is a matter of tribal sovereignty, a concept we’ve been stepping on since the birth of white America. This project would carry crude oil from northwestern
North Dakota through South Dakota and from Iowa to Illinois, where it would be accessible to markets all over the country. It would also pass through ancient and sacred Native American burial grounds and run below the Missouri River, which is the reservation’s main water source. Members of the reservation wonder when exactly they gave their approval for the U.S. government to destroy their lands and contaminate their water — but the answer is that no one asked them. In early American history, our laws did not give Native American tribes voices in our government, so we exploited their lands freely, without threat of legal consequence. They were not a part of our legal system then, but they are now. This pipeline project is evidence that we still aim to commandeer their lands, despite a lack of legality. According to U.S. treaties and the United Nation’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the U.S. government is obligated to consult the tribe’s
government before approving the project, which it conveniently failed to do. The ancient burial grounds are not technically on reservation land. But the idea of disturbing thousands of years worth of ancestral spirits would be disturbing to everyone except money-hungry corporations like Energy Transfer Partners. Honestly, it isn’t a surprise that oil companies are allowed to skip entire legal procedures to make a profit in this country. They have a great argument: the pipeline would create thousands of jobs, bring in a major source of domestic crude oil and stimulate economic growth in the areas it runs through. They never have to talk about the real human costs of their projects, especially when it comes to Native Americans, who are citizens of the U.S. but are treated like foreigners. Oil pipelines are not as safe as they seem. Tiny oil leaks happen every day in amounts the industry considers unharmful. The reality is, major and minor leaks happen frequently, destroy
the environment and contaminate water supplies. This pipeline threatens the health and cultural preservation of an entire tribe of people. Thankfully — since we cannot seem to listen when Native Americans cry for help — farmers, climate activists, and other environmentalists have come together to protest the construction of yet another fossil fuel infrastructure. President Obama temporarily placed an injunction on the project while the government reviews the tribe’s case, despite the pipeline having already gained. In nearby Morton County, where the population is 92 percent white, residents like rancher Jack Schaaf are of the opinion that Native Americans “should be in the ditch” while they protest, according to The New York Times. What other kind of attitude could you expect from white Americans who, in the 21st century, are still under the impression that they are superior to the natives? The pipeline controversy
seems crystal clear to me. Then again, I’m not necessarily concerned with how gasoline makes it to the gas pump, I just expect it to be there. The need for domestic crude oil and the desire to tap into all possible U.S. reserves is understandable given the oil crisis affecting all of us. But how far are we willing to go to ensure the demand is met? The line between need and greed can be very thin, but in a case where the stakes involve the sanctity of an entire race of people, the right decision is clear. The real controversy is how much we value and respect the sovereignty of people who are legally entitled to it when they aren’t white. Will our historical prejudice and superiority complex over the natives overwhelm our obligation to ensure the wellbeing of all U.S. citizens? Probably. We are America — the land of the free, home of the brave and the powerhouse of the greedy. Anjana Nair is an 18-year-old international studies major from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Focus on Clinton’s recent illness misplaced, exaggerated LYNNE YOU A HAND
LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with a “mild, non-contagious” bacterial pneumonia on Sept. 9 that left her dizzy at the anniversary ceremony of 9/11. After being forced to stay home and recover, she made it back to the campaign trail Sept. 15, only six days after the initial diagnosis. Despite personal feelings about the Democratic presidential candidate, everyone needs to admit she is acting tough through the course of her illness. When a person suffers from pneumonia, symptoms such as coughing, fever, chills, difficulty breathing and sharp chest pain occur. The illness is unpleasant, but having it at 68 years old is undoubtedly worse. For Clinton, I can only imagine it must be even harder.
Because Clinton has gone through roughly half her life in the public eye, she is no stranger to living a fast-paced life. However, though she knows by now what it is like to have everyone watch her, the standards placed on her have only gone up since she accepted the presidential nomination earlier this year. Clinton is heavily criticized in everything she does. While criticism is warranted on matters concerning policy or similar issues, she catches flak for minute things, such as style, or in this case, a common illness for people her age. Clinton being the first woman nominated for a presidential election does not help, either. As a woman, Clinton is already seen as weaker than her male counterparts. No matter what people say they believe, a part of them will always think a woman is not as fit as a man to be in high office. People still have their internal biases no matter the situation. Just like people question President Obama’s place of

birth, people question Clinton’s physical strength. A curable sickness does not affect her ability to act as president. If the pneumonia proves anything, it’s that Clinton is strong enough to push through even the toughest of physical ailments. I have my own beliefs on her as a person and politician, as everyone should, but focusing on these unimportant issues will hurt the country in the long run. It does everyone harm to focus on anything but a candidate’s policy. The year of Trump has normalized focusing on trivial issues, but it only dumbs down the process, making it harder for citizens to elect the best candidate. Question Clinton’s stances on the issues, but don’t waste time harping on the little things. Don’t question her physical aptitude to be president, because at the end of the day, the majority of presidential candidates are old and sick in some way or another anyway.
I have my own problems with Clinton, and I am not scared to criticize her on the issues, but attacking her on insignificant things is irresponsible. Just like she has quickly recovered from pneumonia, we need to move on to the rest of
the race and focus on what really matters: electing a good president. Lynne Bunch is an 18-yearold mass communication freshman from Terrytown, Louisiana.

J. Bennett Johnston’s press secretary in 1990, when Johnston won his campaign for re-election against Duke. Duke received 43 percent of the vote in the 1990 election. Duke last ran for the Senate in 1996, and did not qualify for the run-off election with only 11.5 percent of the vote. Louisiana politics have been characterized by pageantry and controversy since their inception, Parent argues in his book “Inside the Carnival: Unmasking Louisiana Politics.” Parent said unless Duke makes it to the run-off, he doesn’t think his race will mean a regression in state politics or a return to the pageantry that has galvanized the state. Duke recently pledged his support to Trump, saying on his radio show earlier this year that voting against Trump was “treason to your heritage.” Trump’s campaign decried Duke’s endorsement. Mann likened Trump to Duke, calling the two “kindred spirits.” Duke thinks there is a natural alliance between Trump voters and the people that once were his voters, Mann said. “He sees himself in Trump, and sees Trump’s message being very similar to his and thinks he can ride Trump’s coattails,” Mann said. Parent said Duke’s support of Trump may affect voters at the margins, specifically southern Republicans who are

David Duke did not respond to requests for comment.
