ADMINISTRATION
Board approves new LDI project
BY JOSHUA D. POTTER Assistant Professor of Political Science
BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano
I am writing in response to this past Wednesday evening’s event at which the LSU chapter of Students for Trump hosted Milo Yiannopoulos. More specifically, I am writing out of concern that the sole representative of the faculty at the event was a colleague of mine from the Department of Political Science, Benjamin Acosta. I fear that, by virtue of being unique in the role, my colleague might have come across as being somehow representative of our department overall. I want to be clear at the outset on two fronts. First, I am sympathetic to free speech on college campuses; although Yiannopoulos’ material was challenging, I believe the role of a university is to directly engage such perspectives and refute them in dialogue rather than in silence. Secondly, neither I nor my colleague from Wednesday night speak on behalf of the Department of Political Science as a unit — although, I believe my thoughts on this matter are more reflective of the department’s general mindset. My point is apolitical: free speech need not be mean speech. Furthermore, familiarizing oneself with the difference between what can be said and what should be said is an important project of higher education. As in most things, moderation is a virtue and the ability to exercise restraint in discourse is a hallmark
The Louisiana Board of Regents formally recognized the College of Human Sciences and Education’s Leadership Development Institute Thursday. The institute has been in development since August 2014, when administrators first received conditional approval from the Board of Regents and the University to pursue the project. School of Human Resource Education and Workforce Development interim director Reid Bates said the idea for the institute germinated under retired SHREWD director Ed Holton. Bates said the college recognized a larger community need for leadership growth after witnessing the success of its leadership development minor. Bates said ideas of leadership change over time, and it’s important for leaders to adapt to new ideas and challenges. “Louisiana has a lot of challenges,” Bates said. “I think there’s a perception that meeting those challenges requires some effective leadership, and there really isn’t a nexus for leadership development in the state.” LDI Director Jenny Daugherty said the institute intends to fill that void by focusing on three areas of leadership development: research, education and outreach. The research arm will focus on identifying and leveraging

LSU faces stiff road test against Auburn

STUDENT LIFE
Dear World project tells students’ stories through photography BY RAYKAEL MORRIS @Raykael_Morris Robert Fogarty and Jonah Evans found a way to work around the initial discomfort of self-expression to strangers through photography. Dear World, a photography project with New Orleans roots, came to the Student Union on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The project allows people to tell their personal stories through body art. Participants write phrases on their bodies that sum up their lives, and then a Dear World
crew member captures that story by taking the participant’s photograph. “Dear World is an amazing program, and it is truly your message to the world,” said assistant director of leadership and involvement Kathy Jones. “You can express a dear moment through a photograph.’ Dear World has been telling people’s unique and inspirational stories for five years. Fogarty, Dear World’s founder, and Evans, the project’s executive producer, met at a bar when Fogarty hosted the first
Dear New Orleans photo shoot. Evans said the day he got involved with Dear World was the best day of his life because the Saints won the Super Bowl, he met his wife and he met Fogarty. Once Fogarty realized that the photography project could stretch further than New Orleans, Evans said Fogarty decided to name the project “Dear World.” Today, the team has traveled from places like Nebraska to Nepal. “Dear World is a way that people can come together and

The education branch will work to unify existing University resources and offer students cross-curricular development, Daugherty said. The outreach portion will be the institute’s most extensive and publicly accessible facet. Daugherty said the institute will offer community workshops, curriculum and leadership programming, as well as a leadership assessment center to provide insight into participants’ personal leadership abilities. Though the institute was officially recognized only Thursday, the program has already hosted a networking event to gauge community needs. Another networking event is scheduled for October, and two more will follow in the spring. The networking events are a
LETTER, from page 1 of wisdom, equanimity, and right judgment. I am much less sure about the virtues of provocation for provocation’s sake. But I am uncomfortably well-acquainted — as are we all — with the ramifications of divisive and sensationalist rhetoric, whatever its origin and orientation. We should all take a breath, especially those of us in positions of authority who have been
AUBURN, from page 1 during his 1,953-yard 2015 season. Matthews described his tackling position as a “business decision.” “I disagree with that,” Smith said prior to LSU’s yearly bout against Auburn at 5 p.m. Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “I think he was just scared of Leonard. We’ll have to prove it again this weekend. They’re going to get some more Leonard Fournette so they better get ready.” The sight of a 6-foot-1, 235-pound tailback, dressed in a white jersey with gold and purple stripes along his shoulder pads carrying a football was a common — and to Smith, frightening — sight for Auburn last season. Through three quarters, Auburn’s defense attempted to slow down LSU’s then-sophomore and Heisman frontrunner Fournette. And before the top-25 matchup, on Sept. 19, 2015, Auburn defensive back Johnathan Ford told a group of local reporters that stopping Fournette “shouldn’t be that difficult.” But Fournette proved otherwise by rushing for 228 yards and three touchdowns by the end of the game. “Last year, they got the best of us,” said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn at press conference. “There’s no doubt about that. Their running back had one of those Heisman-type games, but
Friday, September 23, 2016 prelude to the institute’s first major event, She Geauxs: Inward, Onward, Outward: Women in Leadership, in November. SHREWD Associate Director Tracey Rizzuto spearheaded the conference after realizing local leadership conferences and programs don’t provide a holistic approach to women’s development. Women in male-dominated fields often lose out on important socialization and mentor opportunities, and having those needs met elsewhere is important to women’s continued development, Rizzuto said. The She Geauxs conference will provide attendees with insight into personal leadership styles, help them identify leadership strengths and weaknesses and offer guidance for leadership growth in both personal and professional realms. Additionally, the conference will host several panels from international guests via video chat. Rizzuto said the guests will
include a teenager from Syria discussing access to education in a war zone and the headmistress of a women’s school in India. It’s important to provide leadership development opportunities to women because many of their development needs are different from men’s, Daugherty said. Traditional development paths are generally based on sustained employment and men’s career trajectories, whereas women’s careers typically feature gaps because of family obligations, she said. Bates said female leadership in business and government is a refreshing change. Hosting She Geauxs and similar conferences could play an important role in encouraging women to pursue more leadership positions, he said. “If you look at politics, business and industry, women don’t make up 50 percent of the leaders there,” Bates said. “I see it as a way to draw attention to that
issue and hopefully increase women’s roles in those leadership positions.” Aside from the women’s leadership conference, Daugherty said the institute is focusing on finding its niche, both locally and in the academic community nationally, and identifying avenues for funding support. The institute will be entirely self-sustaining, and Daugherty is exploring grants, community partnerships and industry sponsors as sources of funding. The most important thing is to ensure the mission continues to drive the institute, not funding, she said. The institute is also building its community advisory board. Daugherty said the board has representatives from industry, government and the environment, and she is looking to identify community partners who will support the institute’s mission and serve as a valuable sounding board for ideas.
entrusted with the important task of educating young people. I would have never imagined that such an offensive slur would come out of the mouth of a college professor, on record, in a public forum. Melding crassness with a sickening disregard for people with disabilities, those two syllables were, in my mind, a call for all of us to reflect on the state of things. I feel most days like the bottom has dropped out of our discourse. I feel small.
And, in the face of the politics of provocation, I feel afraid. I wanted to let the students of LSU — especially those who are considering coursework in political science — know they can expect better of the faculty than this. They can expect discourse that is less small and less afraid. Whether the subject is race relations, public policy, civil liberties or international terrorism, there is space in our department for respectful disagreement
predicated on nuance and shades of grey. There is no reason why the gift of free speech should push us toward the lowest common denominator. There is no reason why disagreement should beget fear. There is no harm in considering the consequences of our words on the well-being of others. As we head toward this fateful November, I hope that all of us can work to keep the politics of provocation at bay.
this is a different year.” It’s a different year, yes. But LSU’s tailback — barring any last minute injury restrictions — will be the same. LSU’s offense rushed for 411 yards against Auburn last season. Thus far this season, Auburn’s defense has allowed more than a 100 yards twice, including 231 yards to Texas A&M last week. Auburn defensive tackle Montravius Adams doesn’t remember the outcome of last year’s game against LSU but hasn’t forgotten the “feeling” of Auburn’s 45-21 defeat. “I don’t remember the score, but I know it was a bad score,” Adams told The Plainsman. “I just remember the feeling, really … Just going back and watching the film and feeling like we could’ve [done] better. We just didn’t perform to the best of our ability.” However, Auburn linebacker Deshaun Davis has been waiting for Sept. 24 for a while. “This game is really one of the games that was circled on our schedule,” Davis told SEC Country. “We know how we played last year, which was downright not Auburn football.” To LSU, this game serves as another roadblock in its quest for a Southeastern Conference division title and it starts at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “We know what they’re going to come at us with,” Smith said. “We know his type of coaching style. We’re looking forward to competing.”

McMorris said. Evans said he felt honored to be able to come to the University. “Some people don’t like to express how they feel, so it was great that this event allows them to write their stories on their bodies and express themselves,” said marketing sophomore Carly Leday. Coordinator for leadership and involvement Delia MadridNothdurft said the event empowers people to be able to open up at their own speed. “You see everyone’s message and you get informed on who your community is, but also you are vulnerable,” Madrid-Nothdurft said.
tell stories that they don’t often talk about,” Evans said. Dear World came to campus after information systems and decisions sciences junior Tyler McMorris reached out several months ago. McMorris said it was important for the University to have an event like Dear World because he felt the school was not talking about certain issues that affect students on campus. “There are so many issues in the community that are not being talked about that should be brought to light so more people can be aware of them and fix them in a positive way,”

ROOKIE on the ROAD Etling’s trip to Jordan-Hare Stadium could be more favorable than Harris’
BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n
Jordan-Hare Stadium is not a friendly environment for opposing quarterbacks, especially those who have never started a Southeastern Conference road game. Then-freshman quarterback Brandon Harris was thrown into the fire at Jordan-Hare in 2014. It was Harris’ first career start, coming on the heels of consecutive games in which he vastly outplayed starter Anthony Jennings. He led a comeback effort against Mississippi State that fell just short and blew out New Mexico State the next week. He was seemingly ready for the matchup, but it was his first career start, on the road, against No. 5 Auburn.

GOLF
Men’s, women’s to compete away
BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR Fall golf is officially in full swing. The seventh-ranked LSU men’s golf team will travel to Arizona to compete in the Maui Jim Intercollegiate Friday through Saturday. Meanwhile, the women’s team will play in Oklahoma’s Schooner Fall Classic Saturday through Monday. This will be the men’s second tournament of the season, after the team finished fourth at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic two weeks ago. “We chose to play in this tournament because no one on our roster has played in it yet,” said LSU men’s coach Chuck Winstead. “We believe that you gain as a team by learning from something new, and that’s what we’re going to try to do this weekend.” No. 11 California, No. 17 South Carolina and No. 24 Baylor will highlight the field of 16 teams in this year’s Maui Jim. Even against the stacked field, the Tigers will also battle a change in elevation. The site of the tournament sits at a whopping 1,248 feet above sea level. Sam Burns, Luis Gagne, Rhyne Jones, Brandon Pierce and Eric Ricard will be the featured golfers in the Maui Jim as LSU continues to form its tournament lineup. “Our goal is to keep feeling out the lineup and figure out where we are as a team,” Ricard said. “We also want to develop some consistency, so we can be competitive in the spring.”

LSU looks for first Southeastern Conference win at Auburn BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR When the Tigers compete against Auburn at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Auburn Arena after a two-game losing streak, including losses to Baylor and Florida State on Sept. 14 and Sept. 18, sophomore Toni Rodriguez said the team will face a worthy opponent. “[Auburn’s] setters are pretty offensive,” she said. “We haven’t
seen a lot of that … But getting this win, it’ll really boost our team’s confidence and I think everyone will play better.” LSU last contested against Auburn on Oct. 25. The five-set match was a battle, but LSU eventually won, 3-2. Auburn ended the game with 75 kills and 30 errors. LSU had 66 kills and 23 errors. This time around, LSU must worry about Auburn’s offensive drive. Auburn tops the charts at
No. 1 in digs in the Southeastern Conference, averaging 15.76 digs per set compared to LSU’s third-ranked 15.02 digs per set in the conference. Auburn’s Jesse Earl spearheads the team with 5.28 digs per set. LSU junior Cheyenne Wood checks in at the No. 8 spot in the SEC with 3.62 digs per set. This match will be LSU’s first

FACULTY
Pennington’s Bouchard awarded 73rd Boyd Professorship BY MADELINE ADAMS @madelineadams17 For Claude Bouchard of the University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, there are not many more awards left to be won. “In the fields of obesity and exercise science, I have received all the honors and awards that one can aspire to,” Bouchard said. Now, Bouchard can add one of the University’s most prestigious awards to that list. The LSU Board of Supervisors named Bouchard an LSU Boyd Professor earlier this month. To be awarded a Boyd Professorship, a faculty member must be recognized on both national and international stages. “It is clearly a restricted circle and a very prestigious one. It means a great deal to me,” Bouchard said. “Given the number of people [who] have had the chance of being recognized this way in history, it is particularly important and dear to me.” Bouchard specializes in studying the genetic differences related to obesity and human variability. “It is an exciting field because there is no limit,” he said. Bouchard has been at Pennington for 17 years. For the first 11 years, Bouchard served as the research center’s executive director. He has devoted the past six years to scientific research. Before Pennington, Bouchard was involved with Université Laval
in Québec City, Canada, for about 30 years. In 1962, he received his bachelor’s degree from Université Laval. He then went on to the University of Oregon to earn his master’s degree. Bouchard received his doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin, after which he conducted postgraduate research in Germany and postdoctoral
research in Montreal. Bouchard was the president of both the Obesity Society and the International Association for the Study of Obesity. He has also been awarded honorary doctorate degrees from universities in the United States, Europe and Canada. Bouchard has trained roughly 25 doctoral students and around 40 post-doctoral fellows.
“[My students] are largely responsible for the little success that I have achieved and the recognition I get because they were doing the work,” Bouchard said. “They made a big difference.” Bouchard said he reminds students to stay mentally engaged at all times because training is not a one-time experience. Bouchard also insists students
be passionate about the studies they are pursuing. Passion is the key to success, he says. “If you are lucky enough to feel that passion, you are going to have a fantastic life,” Bouchard said. In a news release, LSU President F. King Alexander congratulated Bouchard on becoming the University’s 73rd Boyd Professor and the fourth from Pennington. “We are honored to count Dr. Bouchard, one of the world’s preeminent experts in the field of exercise science, among LSU’s faculty,” Alexander said in the release. “It is our great privilege to bestow upon him the title of Boyd Professor — LSU’s most elite honorific — in acknowledgement of his expertise within the global obesity research community.”

Campus diversity lecture trumped by Yiannopoulos’ speech MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS @ClarkePerkins Wednesday night was an ironic one for campus. Los Angeles Times bestseller Lawrence Ross held a lecture entitled, “Dialogue on Diversity” in the PMAC, hosted by LSU Greek Life. It was an informative and detailed speech about racism on college campuses, especially within the Greek community. He started with the root of the problem, dating back to slavery, and finished with modern-day incidents of racial insensitivity
on campus. Ross took no prisoners as he highlighted acts of racism on universities across the nation. He called out Kappa Alpha fraternity for its infamously derogatory “Old South Ball” and Delta Kappa Epsilon for its insensitive Colin Kaepernick banner. Although Ross was preaching to the choir for many of the African-Americans in attendance, it was refreshing to see an arena full of white people listening to a black man preach to them about how supremacy brings upon racism. Even though I feel like we should’ve packed Tiger Stadium for this lecture, I can settle for a portion of the PMAC.
As an African-American student, I’ve struggled with the idea of my voice not being heard. It often feels as though I’m fighting a senseless battle for equality because my opponents don’t even care enough to listen for the battle cry. But Wednesday night, they listened. Hundreds of white students listened to the issues that African-Americans face on campus, and for once, I felt maybe something would actually change. Then the image of a perfect campus where minorities are given empathy and respect became static when I remembered that conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos wasn’t
far away. He is the same person who was offensive enough to get banned from Twitter, stirring controversy nationwide. According to Breitbart News, Yiannopoulos visited the University of Houston earlier this week and had a mouthful to say about black people. “We are entering the black power phase of Black Lives Matter existence, and it is crossing over into a terrorist organization. It’s time to criminalize it,” Yiannopoulos said. At the same time as the “Dialogue on Diversity”, LSU Students for Trump hosted Yiannopoulos in the Student Union Theater. He spoke about
how “Fat Shaming Works” as part of his “The Dangerous Faggot Tour.” Unlike Ross’ lecture, people paid to attend Yiannopoulos’ hate speech rant. Instead of listening to a lecture on diversity and inclusiveness for free, people literally paid to hear a man discriminate against fat people and others. In a way, it feels as though Yiannopoulos’ performance cancelled out all the good done by the diversity lecture. That’s a pessimistic way to look at it, but that’s what happened. Clarke Perkins is a 20-year-old political science junior from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Automatic deposits prove best secret for building wealth JAY TALKING JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford Do you want to know the secret to building wealth? It’s not investing in technology, hoping to find the next Apple or Facebook. It’s not flipping real estate. The real secret is considerably less sexy — set up automatic deposits from your paycheck to a savings account. That’s it. If you want to become wealthy, it’s as simple as saving a portion of your paycheck each time you’re paid. There are strong psychological benefits to automatically saving money. First, let’s look at how most people handle their paychecks. When people receive a paycheck, they already know how they want to spend it — rent, food, savings, whiskey and so on. Then, people attempt to limit their spending to achieve their goals — this is where things go wrong. A friend invites you to a concert, or you see some new clothes you like. You make a deal with yourself: “Next paycheck, I will save twice as much.” But this never happens. The

month’s end comes around, and you’ve either spent all of your money, invoking feelings of guilt, or you have to decide where to put the money for savings. Constantly remembering to save and limit your spending is tiring. You can see how easy cheating yourself on saving is. Now, let’s see how this scenario plays out when using automatic deposits. You receive a paycheck, and within a few days deposits are made automatically from your checking account to a

savings account. For the rest of the month, ball out in Tigerland all you want because now you don’t have to worry about limiting your spending and cheating on your savings will be a relic of the past. Once the automatic deposit hits, there is freedom in knowing you can spend your money how you want, guilt-free. However, there are some caveats. First, you have to know how to live within your means. Saving $10 a month means nothing when, realistically, you
could be saving $60. Know your cost-of-living and your savings goal, and balance the two. The second roadblock is getting paid a variable amount each paycheck. Automatic savings with variable pay can be done, but it requires a bit more finessing. If you’re convinced of the power of automatic savings, then let’s take it to the next level — automatically investing those savings. Instead of putting the saved money in a separate savings account, send it to an investment account.

If your company offers a 401(k), put it there. If it doesn’t, put your money into an IRA. If you don’t have an IRA, you can still set up automatic deposits to a brokerage account like ETrade or Charles Schwab. Then have your brokerage automatically invest the money into your preferred investment, such as a low-fee ETF. To set up these automatic investments, go to your 401(k) or brokerage website, and there will be an option for a recurring investment. For example, if you get paid on the 15th of every month, you can link your brokerage to your bank account and set it up so that every month on the 16th, it takes out a specified amount of money, automatically investing it that day. So that’s it — the whole secret to building your wealth. By automating the savings in our lives, we remove the risk of having our emotions interfere with our savings plans, reducing our stress in the process. The best part is this costs nothing, so you have no excuses not to set up your automatic deposits today. Jay is a 22-year-old finance senior from St. Simons Island, Georgia.

Friday, September 23, 2016 JORDAN-HARE, from page 3 The result: a 41-7 drubbing in Auburn’s favor. LSU’s championship hopes had burnt out, and Harris’ freshman campaign came to an end that October. In a similar set of circumstances, junior quarterback Danny Etling is making his first career SEC road start at 5:00 p.m. Saturday against Auburn (1-2, 0-1 SEC) at JordanHare Stadium. “I make sure the guys [that are] playing now know how that atmosphere is,” said senior defensive end Lewis Neal. “We remember being in that stadium, and obviously our goal is to win out the [SEC] West.” Auburn is No. 18 LSU’s next stop on what it hopes is an undefeated path, but LSU senior wide receiver Travin Dural said playing at Jordan-Hare has never been easy.
“As far as the hardest stadiums [I’ve] ever been at, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, all those places are really tough, but there’s just something about Auburn,” Dural said. “The fans just seem so close. [Those are] some of the best fans I’ve ever seen. They don’t sit down. They don’t ever shut up.” Though he, like Harris, had never played an SEC road game, the circumstances this time around point to a more favorable situation for Etling and the LSU Tigers in Auburn, Alabama. Etling has experience on the road against Big 10 powerhouse Michigan, which plays in the largest stadium in the nation. But he said the toughest environment he’s played at is Penn State’s Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania. Then-freshman Etling and his Purdue Boilermakers
lost 45-21 to Penn State in the country’s second-largest stadium, with a capacity of 4,251 more than Tiger Stadium and 19,121 greater than JordanHare, which ostensibly prepared him for hostile southern football fans. “Penn State was real loud,” Etling said. “There was a fourth down call in that game, I was trying to make the call, and they were just yelling. [My teammates] couldn’t hear me. “Obviously [Jordan-Hare’s] going to be a tough place to play, but it’s something that we can handle. It shouldn’t be the deciding factor in whether we win or lose.” Also on LSU’s side are five starters and 16 others who played in the 2014 beatdown and have pinpointed what went wrong, preparing themselves and the underclassmen accordingly. The stage was too big. Dural recalls that the receivers weren’t open for Harris and, consequently, the rushing attack couldn’t catch on because the passing game was ineffective. It was the second worst game he’s played in, ranking only after a 63-0 walloping against Acadiana in high school — one he can’t put behind him, he said. “Auburn, after watching some film on them, they’re a very talented team,” Etling said. “We have to take them really seriously … Hopefully I get us fired up and put on a good show.”
AUBURN, from page 3 SEC game this season. Gaining this win would boost the team’s confidence, Rodriguez said. The team can’t get lost in the shuffle on the court because Auburn has different stepins at the net, which are running approaches, senior Tiara Gibson explained. “As a front row blocker, we need to have really big court vision but at the same time, not get lost in everything that’s going on,” Gibson said. “That’s going to

be important.” Though the team has recent losses on its record, the Tigers are practicing harder for their first SEC win. The team has specifically focused on its offense, said LSU coach Fran Flory. “What we’re looking for is balance,” Flory said. “We’re trying to make sure that we control things that we can control offensively, and then we’re ahead of the play defensively, and we can implement a great gameplan.”

improvement. “We struggled with unforced errors in the Carpet Capital,” he said. “We need to clean up those mistakes and attempt to hit the best shot and make the best play in tournaments like this.” The Lady Tigers will compete as a team for the first time in the 2016 campaign. “The biggest positive about the start of this season is our health,” said LSU women’s coach Karen Bahnsen. “Two of our girls struggled with injuries last season, but we’re all healthy to start this year.” Although plagued by injuries, the Lady Tigers made an appearance in the NCAA Regionals last year. Senior Caroline Nistrup was one of those injured Tigers. “I’m happy to be able to go out and compete again,” she said. “It’s going to be interesting to see what this team looks like now that we’re all healthy.” To sophomore Kathleen Gallagher, competing in this tournament is about more than just knocking off rust. “We have to put [in] the work in order to get better, and that starts with this tournament,” Gallagher said. “We’re not satisfied with just going out there to play — we want to win.” The Schooner Classic will include traditional golf powerhouses like No. 3 Alabama, No. 14 Kent State, No. 17 Iowa State and No. 23 Texas A&M. Despite the talent playing in this tournament, mother nature may come out the winner. A heavy rain forecast runs through the duration of the tournament, yet LSU remains optimistic. “We’re excited about the competition in this tournament,” Bahnsen said. “In order to be the best you have to play the best.”
