Acacia fraternity under ‘interim suspension’

BY ROSE VELAZQUEZ rvelazquez@lsureveille.com

BY CARRIE GRACE HENDERSON chenderson@lsureveille.com When the allure of Tiger Stadium proves too strong for some students, Death Valley finds itself with potential trespassers.

Because there is no widely advertised touring option for students, those who want to see the inside of Death Valley when the Tigers aren’t on the field often do so illegally.

Many students have heard the campus lore of trespassers getting in and out of facilities like Tiger Stadium and Alex Box Stadium scot-free.

Whether fact or fiction, it’s a serious crime.

The Daily Reveille reported on March 17 that nine people, five students and four non-students, were charged with trespassing in Tiger Stadium.

But they are not the first to try and get a personal look inside the stadium where it never rains. LSUPD Spokesperson Capt. Cory Lalonde said the occurrence is not new on campus.

“It is something we see

from time to time,” Lalonde said. “It’s not something that we see every month, but periodically we do come across these types of incidents occurring.”

Students have not always had to trespass to visit Tiger Stadium during the week.

The field used to be open to visitors, until an “incident” caused them to change their policy said manager of internal projects and facility operations Amanda Adams.

Adams would not elaborate on details about the incident.

Lalonde also cited national security events such as 9/11 as cause for the change in policy.

“We started changing procedures and security issues that arose when you’re dealing with a stadium that seats now 102,000 people,” Lalonde said. “There are certain concerns after that and a lot of those procedures and protocols were changed.”

The University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is

TIGER TRESPASSING Breaking into De ath Valley not a new trend

The University’s chapter of the Acacia fraternity is under investigation for allegations of “behavioral misconduct.” University media relations director Ernie Ballard confirmed in a statement that an “interim suspension of activities for Acacia has occurred.”

The statement issued by Ballard says the University is communicating with the Acacia national office, alumni and chapter leadership as the investigation continues. The University follows policy statement PS-52 to address allegations of misconduct against registered student organizations.

If the allegations against a student organization provide “reasonable cause to believe that the organization represents a threat to the safety, security or welfare of the University community and/or an obstruction to accomplishing the University’s lawful mission,” the policy statement grants the Dean of Students the authority to suspend all or some of the organization’s activities until the provisions of the policy statement are carried out.

When an interim suspension of activities occurs, the policy statement requires the University to make “reasonable efforts” to carry out the policy’s procedures as quickly as possible under the situation’s circumstances.

After multiple requests, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory would not comment and directed The Daily Reveille to Ballard, whom she designated as spokesperson.

This is not the first time the University’s Acacia chapter faces allegations of misconduct. On March 15, 2002, the chapter was placed on probation until Jan.

University Committee defers funding for Himes Hall renovations Wireless expansion spending also stalled

BY JOSE ALEJANDRO BASTIDAS jbastidas@lsureveille.com University, student and faculty representatives stalled funding Tuesday for computer-based testing lab renovations in Himes Hall and wireless expansion on campus.

The Student Technology Fee Oversight Committee voted Tuesday to defer these components from the Information Technology Services 2015-16 fiscal budget, which is financed by student fees.

The deferral will help make up for the $824,480 deficit the committee must level to avoid debt, according to the ITS STF Proposal Deficit Reconciliation form.

However, the committee expects ITS to return about $700,000 to be allocated as available funds for the next fiscal year, making financing these components possible.

Jane Cassidy, vice provost for human resources and facilities management, said she is confident the STF funds will fund all the necessary maintenance and replacement of computers for testing center labs in Himes Hall, as well as some of the wireless

expansion proposal.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to make that decision to narrow down [what the fund will cover],” said Student Government president and committee student representative Clay Tufts. “I think what we did was in the best interest of students.

Clearly, the computer testing center is vital … for [students’] academic experience at LSU.” The computer-based testing center proposal also includes an additional $47,000 to change the center’s surveillance system to digital cameras linked to LSUPD. If the committee receives no money back at the end of the

fiscal year — a scenario Cassidy said is unlikely — then both proposals would be rejected to avoid debt.

The committee also postponed discussing the allocation of $1 million to support the ITS operating budget until next semester, given upcoming University budget cuts which won’t be defined by the Louisiana legislature before the end of the academic year.

Cassidy said the committee should assume the funds will not be allocated to disciplinespecific projects as of this moment.

In preparation for potential expansion of the University’s wireless system, ITS and SG

will distribute a survey to the student body asking them to rate eduroam around campus and give insight on areas that need improvement.

“The main idea for the survey is location. Where is [WiFi] good, and where is it bad?”

Tufts said. “[Knowing this] is going to help us save a lot of money in terms of devoting the attention for the initiative to specific locations, like for example some areas of the Quad.”

Cassidy said she expects the survey to be sent to students April 20 and stay open through finals week to give students time to give the University feedback.

RESEARCH

University joins largest health research nonprofit Research!America advocates for medical research

BY CHLOE HUFF chuff@lsureveille.com The University is now a member of Research!America, the largest nonprofit organization advocating for health research.

Mary Woolley, president and CEO of R!A, said their goal is to put medical research on the public agenda.

Woolley traveled from Washington, D.C., to welcome the University into the group and to meet with Sen. Bill Cassidy and LSU President F. King Alexander about the University’s participation.

“These are people who care about research as a value of this university,” Woolley said. “They care about

And you can’t succeed if you don’t have the resources, and that’s a big part of what we’re about — making sure you do have resources to succeed,” Woolley said.

Stephanie Malin, media relations manager at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, said the University’s R!A membership will help increase notoriety in the community.

“It’s a big deal to be

recognized in something like this because it raises our profile in the community,” Malin said. “Anything we can do to raise our profile and help create a healthier Louisiana is important.”

After her presentation to deans and other heads of research departments, Woolley met with students to tell them implications of the new membership.

Woolley said R!A’s network can also help students pursuing research.

“Students can benefit from us in a lot of different ways,” Woolley said. “We have internships and scholarships for science-trained people.”

New Quiz Bowl team prepares for first competition

BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER wpotter@lsureveille.com University undergraduates listen to the question with bated breath, hoping to be the first to answer. It could be related to anything — Norse mythology, chemistry or Lana Del Rey — but it’s their job to figure it out.

The University’s Quiz Bowl started last fall, said mechanical engineering junior and club president Kris Meche. Meche founded the club after transferring from the UL-Lafayette, where he was involved in a similar organization.

Quiz Bowl is a trivia competition. The questions are typically academic based, centering around subjects such as history and literature. General knowledge topics like sports and pop culture also will make the occasional appearance.

“I had to plan to organize it whenever I found out I was transferring to LSU,” Meche said. “We started having our first meetings in October.”

On April 11, the team will face off against others at ULL for its first competition.

The competition is roundrobin style and includes tossup questions worth 10 points each. Each school is allowed to send two teams of four.

Members have to work individually to answer the tossup questions. When a team answers a toss-up, they get to

The majority of the members competed in high school and middle school Quiz Bowl, Meche said, but a lot of the knowledge comes from topics discussed in school.

College-level Quiz Bowl differs from days clad in letterman jackets. It was a lot easier back in high school, said biochemistry junior and club vice president Aaron Mouledous.

“In this one, they ask you very ambiguous questions,”

Mouledous said. “It’s more interesting that way. It’s better.”

In the coming years, the members hope they’ll get to compete more often, said undeclared freshman Joseph Doucet.

Getting more members is also a priority, Doucet said.

Now, the club has about 15 members total.

“I’d like to see the team grow,” Doucet said. “I want to establish closer bonds with everyone involved.”

Most of the current members joined after seeing a post

Xavier Knighten, 19, of Baton Rouge, was arrested for simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia on March 21.

At 1:47 a.m., an LSUPD officer patrolling the Miller Extension Lot observed several suspicious subjects sitting in a vehicle.

Upon approaching the vehicle, the suspect Knighten exited the vehicle, and the officer observed smoke and a strong marijuana odor.

After questioning the subjects in the vehicle, Knighten admitted he had been smoking.

Knighten was issued a misdemeanor summons and released from LSUPD.

There’s typically a question for every type of person, Mouledous said. For every few academic questions, a pop culture one will spring up.

“If you wait around long enough, they’re going to ask a question about Lana Del Rey,” Mouledous said. “When you answer it, you’re going to feel great about it.”

Russell’s Resolve Reynolds battles back from injuries to become midweek starter

BASEBALL

LSU’s offense explodes in 13-7 win

BY DAVID GRAY dgray@lsureveille.com

BY JACK CHASCIN jchascin@lsureveille.com The phrase “trials and tribulations” couldn’t be more true for LSU baseball’s sophomore pitcher Russell Reynolds.

The Baton Rouge native has faced a long and winding road during his career with the Tigers, spanning back to 2013 when he joined the team as a freshman.

The Parkview Baptist High School alumnus stepped onto LSU’s campus with plenty of hype and poise. He earned Under Armour All-American and first-team All-State honors as a pitcher and outfielder in 2012, posting an 8-2 mark with 44 innings pitched, 88 strikeouts and a 1.90 ERA. Reynolds also batted .370 with two homers and 30 RBIs that season.

NEW ORLEANS — The LSU baseball team met disappointment in its last visit to Turchin Stadium.

Not this time.

After dropping a 3-2 decision in 11 innings last season, the No. 1 Tigers (22-3) overwhelmed Tulane (17-8) from the start, stomping the Green Wave, 13-7, on Tuesday in New Orleans.

It was LSU’s second consecutive win against Tulane, which suffered its worst loss of the season and third in the last four games in front of a near-capacity crowd of 4,994.

While the Green Wave slumped to just four hits through the first seven innings, the Tigers were hot at the plate.

LSU batted .422 (19-for-45) as a team, and eight of nine starters recorded a hit. It was the fifth time the Tigers tallied at least 19 hits in a game this season.

“Our offense did a great job he of not only making solid contact and finding holes but driving runners in,” said LSU junior outfielder Mark Laird.

LSU junior outfielder Andrew Stevenson scored two runs and went 4-for-6 at the plate with a double, and Laird batted 2-for-3 with a triple and a homer, the first of his career. Laird also reached home three times.

Despite the six-run victory, the Tigers didn’t get much from

Jaquish claims team home run lead in 8-0, mercy-rule win

BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com The No. 1 LSU softball team retained its perfect record at home (24-0) with its 14th win by mercy rule with an 8-0 victory against No. 24 South Alabama in five innings at Tiger Park on Tuesday night.

The Tigers (31-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) got the ball rolling early and often — scoring in all four innings they batted.

Sophomore pitcher Kelsee Selman earned her seventh win of the season against the Jaguars (21-7, 5-3 Sun Belt).

“Every inning, I kept asking them, ‘No zeros on the board,’” said LSU coach Beth Torina. “We did that by continuing to hold the momentum and just continuing to keep the pressure on them.”

LSU earned its second consecutive mercy-rule win against a ranked opponent by taking advantage of early mistakes by South Alabama’s senior pitcher Farish Beard, scoring three of its first five runs on poorly thrown pitches.

In the first inning, junior shortstop Bianka Bell scored on passed ball and sophomore third baseman Sahvanna Jaquish scored on an illegal pitch.

Beard continued to struggle in the second when the Tigers added another run on a wild pitch.

“Overall we did a good job [running the bases],” Torina said.

“Mistakes by the other team also happen because of the pressure that we put on them with the offense that we bring to the plate.”

While Beard struggled for

South Alabama, Selman shined for the Tigers.

Selman retired her first eight batters before allowing her only walk of the game, and she threw two straight three-up, threedown innings. She held a no-hitter until the fourth inning when Jaguars’ sophomore catcher Chloe Rathburn single through the right side.

Although she allowed another hit, Selman finished with seven strikeouts in five innings pitched, earning her seventh complete game of the season.

LSU’s consistency at the plate takes the pressure off the Tigers’ pitchers to be perfect, Selman said.

After scoring five runs through the first two innings, the

freshman season. He posted a 1-0 mark and a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings with three walks and eight strikeouts, including a win on March 26, 2013, at Tulane, where he allowed one unearned run on four hits in seven innings.

But then came trial number one.

Reynolds was shut down for the season after suffering a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder in early April 2013. Reynolds’ hot start halted after seven games in, with the doctors setting his timetable to return at close to a year.

“At first, it was a struggle,” Reynolds said. “You really don’t know how long 22 months is until you’re out for 22 months. The help of our training staff helped me out a lot, but you kind of just have to push yourself. Everybody faces adversity. It’s just how you can overcome it.”

Reynolds took his injury in stride by working with pitching coach Alan Dunn to learn from his seven games and perfect his mentality and work ethic so he could be ready when his time came.

Reynolds said he learned a lot from Dunn about the traits and tendencies of being a pitcher and evolving as the game grows.

“The one-on-one help with [pitching coach Alan Dunn] and just sitting back watching pitching and then just listening to him and getting his insight on things that’ll help you out tremendously upstairs,” Reynolds said. “You don’t really realize how much of pitching is mental until you get to pitching out here, and then you realize you got to have a head on your shoulders to pitch.”

While learning, Reynolds also became a mentor. The injury opened his eyes to the highs and lows of sports, and he began accepting injuries for what they were. Reynolds chose to grow from his setbacks instead of letting them get the best of him.

Sophomore pitcher Collin Strall said Reynolds’ attitude is contagious in the clubhouse.

“A lot of our freshmen and younger guys go to him to talk about stuff like arm problems or if something’s bothering them, what they should do and stuff,” Strall said. “He has been around the game. He has been here for three years now, he has since injuries, and he’s a great mentor to a lot of younger guys.

THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

Then-freshman pitcher Russell Reynolds (45) pitches March 13, 2013, during the 9-3 victory against Nicholls State at Alex Box Stadium.

“He knows a lot about this program and it has really helped a lot of guys getting arm surgeries, and even [freshman outfielder] Beau [Jordan] can go talk to him. He’s a really big mentor on our team, and I love having him in the locker room. He’s one of my favorite players on the team.”

Unfortunately, Reynolds’ trials weren’t over yet.

Reynolds was set to return for fall practice leading up to the 2015 season, but he suffered an elbow injury after falling off the back of a pickup truck while tailgating at an LSU football game. He was forced to sit out the entirety of fall practice, pushing back a return even further.

“That was bad because I was really excited for the fall,” Reynolds said. “I needed the fall to regroup and get everything back together. After that incident happened, it kind of set me back again, but now I’m back on my feet and trying to get things going again.”

The 6-foot-2, 187-pounder wouldn’t let this injury stop him either. Reynolds’ work ethic and leadership have been praised by many of his teammates throughout his times in and out of the game.

Strall said Reynolds’ leadership abilities made it inevitable he would eventually come back strong.

“When we get in the weight room, he gets after it for sure,” Strall said. “We’re out here long tossing and stuff, and even when coach Dunn isn’t here, he’ll be one of the pitchers leading us. He is

probably one of the hardest workers on this team for sure.”

Senior catcher Kade Scivicque noticed Reynolds’ fire and hunger to return to the mound. Scivicque said when catching him, he could tell Reynolds was always giving his all for a chance to compete.

“I have seen him improve with his velocity and his command. Just coming out here with his work ethic is just unbelievable,” Scivicque said. “He just gets after it. It’s great [catching him]. He feels up the zone. He throws a lot of strikes.

He throws with good velocity, and he is just going to pound the zone and compete.”

Reynolds battled back from his hardships and is still a candidate for the Tigers’ rotation as their next number four guy. He got his first start of the season on March 17 against Southern, throwing a strong four innings in the Tigers’ 4-2, extra innings win. Reynolds allowed only three hits and retired the first six batters he faced.

His long and troubling rise back to relevancy has been one of unlucky twist and turns, but Reynolds said he feels great and hopes he is here to stay.

“My arm feels great,” Reynolds said. “It feels good to go back out there for multiple innings and show them what I have again, and I’m happy I’m getting the opportunity to go back out there and do it again.”

But with LSU scoring runs in seven consecutive innings — including three three-run frames — even Reynolds’ subpar outing wasn’t going to prevent the Tigers from beating Tulane for the 12th time in 15 games.

LSU sophomore pitcher Hunter Newman (2-0) picked up the win after he relieved Reynolds with two outs in the bottom of the third. Newman tossed three shutout innings and retired 10 of the 11 batters he faced. “[Newman’s] becoming a guy that we can really count on,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri.

WEB COMMENTS In response to Alex Mendoza’s column, “America should adopt compulsory voting laws” one reader had this to say: “I don’t feel like this article presents a very cohesive argument.

It dances around ‘the elephant in the room,’ which is why does the President want to ‘make us vote?’ The author writes, ‘...but it’s also hard to ignore the fact that Obama’s statement comes just months after Democrats’ crushing losses in the November midterms.’

However, the president’s statement is ignored in this article. The author presents many valid, potentially positive results of mandatory voting, but neglecting to explain why this effort to ‘...primarily increase representation of younger, low-income and minority voters’ is actually sincere and not just a political strategy to get more guaranteed votes from traditionally democratic voting demographics, ultimately defeats the author’s argument. Without that, the author’s other points just seem like an attempt to distract the reader by playing on his emotions (helping low-income citizens vote) while dodging the tough question. While I do agree with the author that those without the means to vote need to be assisted in their pursuit to do so, I think the question of whether or not these same citizens are being manipulated needs to be answered first.”

In response to Jose Alejandro Bastidas’ article, “Higher Education Forum addresses upcoming budget cuts” one reader had this to say:

“It is dismaying and telling, but nevertheless predictable, that fewer than 20 students would care enough about such a gigantically important issue to show up at this event. The students will end up getting what their laziness and indifference earn for them.”

BREAKING BUDGET

Republican budget proposals will affect students, this generation Deficits of the past 3 Presidents

Bill Clinton (FY 1994-2001)

$63 billion surplus over eight years

George W. Bush (FY 2002-2009)

$3.29 trillion deficit over eight years

Barack Obama (FY 2010-2017)

CLIFF OWEN / The Associated Press

House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. announces the plan on Capitol Hill in Washington.

ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY Columnist The House Republicans unveiled their budget proposal, and it unsurprisingly guts nearly every form of assistance for American families.

The GOP wants to freeze the maximum Pell Grant at $5,775 per student for the next 10 years to save money.

More than 8 million students in America received Pell Grants in the 2015 fiscal year, and the program costs the United States about $30 billion.

In 1980, Pell Grants used to cover the entire cost of education for community colleges and about 77 percent of the cost at a public university. Those numbers have dwindled to 62 percent at community colleges and 36 percent at public universities.

The current yearly cost of attendance at LSU is $27,288 for on-campus, in-state students. The maximum Pell Grant would only cover about 21 percent of a student’s education.

Luckily, Louisiana has programs like TOPS and Go Grants to help bridge that gap. But with our unreliable flow of revenue and recent budget cuts, students can’t fully rely on Louisiana’s state programs to fund their education.

Essentially, the generation in charge now benefited from the government investing in them and their education when they were in school. Now that they’re in power, they want to take those investments away from our generation.

When we call them out, they call us entitled and lazy. We’re supposed to work for our education, but it’s impossible for someone to make $27,288 in a year, go to school full time and graduate in four years.

$6.814 trillion projected deficit

Louisiana can’t afford for the federal government to gut programs because our state is in such turmoil.

Aside from education, the GOP budget is trying to gut health care. Whatever your opinion of the Affordable Care Act might be, it helps low-income Louisiana residents get health insurance. About 40,000 Louisiana residents receive tax credits because of Obamacare at about $3,610 per person to help pay for their health insurance.

As long as Obama is president, the GOP won’t get to defund the Affordable Care Act because it’s his legacy. But the fact they try to take health coverage away from low-income families while offering no alternative is disturbing.

House Republicans also want to indirectly cut spending for food stamps and Medicaid. Under the GOP budget, states would get funding for those programs via block grants. That would give more states control over who receives assistance.

The last time the federal government turned an assistance program into a block grant was in the ’90s, with the temporary assistance for needy families, or TANF, program. The after effects were disastrous.

Funding for the program essentially froze, and fewer people became eligible.

States could set their own requirements, which meant families received unequal benefits. This should not happen to food stamps and Medicaid.

While more local control may sound like a good thing, it would give conservative states like Louisiana more leeway in denying their residents benefits. If we happen to have another budget shortfall as massive as the one we’re about to face, our governor could use that block grant money to fill in budget holes, effectively leaving our neediest residents hungry and without assistance.

The House Republicans argued that

Editorial Policies & Procedures

they need to make budget cuts to eliminate our deficit spending, which is understandable. America needs to get its debt under control, and we can’t keep running a deficit if we want to remain a strong nation.

However, the GOP’s budget hurts American families and increases defense spending by $94 billion. If we can’t afford to feed families and send students to college, then we certainly can’t afford war money.

Overall, the Republican budget would slash the deficit by $5.5 trillion over the course of a decade at the expense of American families and college students.

The budget doesn’t do anything to address our massive income inequality, and it doesn’t make any long-term investments that are good for the economy.

Multibillion dollar corporations would still pay fewer taxes than middleclass families. The one percent in America still wouldn’t have to pay their fair share of taxes.

We saw what happened when Republicans controlled budgets in the past.

Their budget plans caused the financial crisis under Bush, and Jindal’s budget plans destroyed higher education funding over the years.

Republican presidents have had increased deficits since George H. W. Bush. In contrast, Democrats have eliminated or reduced deficits. The GOP can’t be trusted with our federal budget.

You can’t run a country just by cutting benefits to the neediest families.

People need to pay their fair share of taxes, and our generation needs to have a fair shot at life.

Quote of the Day ‘I’m a big woman.

I need big hair.’

Whitewashing of African-American hair needs to stop MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS Columnist Hair is simply threadlike strands that grow from your head, and whether it is straight, curly, kinky, wavy or dreadlocked, you shouldn’t be judged or discriminated against because of it.

It has always been hard for many African-American women to embrace their natural hair because of what the norm is thought to be: bone straight and without a curl in sight. Many black women have been discriminated against in their daily lives because of their hair.

Last week, 19-year-old Lettia McNickle, a hostess at Madisons New York Bar and Grill, felt discriminated against after she arrived at work with her hair braided. After being yelled at and having her hair called “ridiculous” by her boss in front of everyone, she was forced to leave.

The owners of the restaurant said McNickle is still on payroll, but she doesn’t have as many hours because she is always unavailable.

McNickle begs to differ, claiming she has been available for many hours, yet her shifts have still been cut for three weeks straight.

After investigating the incident, the Center for Research-Action on Race Relations has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. This case is one of many examples of a black woman

‘Every time it’s big, [white girls] be like, “What’s going on with your hair?”’

Have you ever felt discriminated against or judged because of your hair?

being discriminated against.

People may not be asked to leave their jobs every day because of the style or texture of their hair, but discrimination and bullying happens daily.

QVC hostess Sandra Bennett made a disrespectful remark toward model Michelle Holloway’s naturally curling hair saying, “You might look back and think ‘Why did I wear my hair like that?’”

Around the same time, Giuliana Rancic made a disrespectful mark toward actress Zendaya’s Oscar red carpet dreadlocks, saying, “I feel like she smells like patchouli oil, or maybe weed.”

Both women openly apologized, but they weren’t sorry they said it,

they were sorry the public turned their backs on them.

Young black girls have been bullied for the way their moms style their hair — double strand twists, plats or maybe natural double buns.

As a child, when I would wear my hair naturally curly or in multiple double strand twists, I always felt bullied and judged. I can’t count how many times someone at my predominately white school asked if they could touch my hair, told me my hair wasn’t long enough or asked me to sit in the back because they couldn’t see the board over my hair. I don’t necessarily believe these kids were intentionally trying to bully me, but that’s

also part of the problem.

Unfortunately, I got a perm as soon as my mom thought I was old enough. I was sick of being the black sheep at school. I insisted on putting these chemicals in my hair that would finally lay my hair straight down.

I regret it today. I ruined my unique curl pattern and cried as I got all of the damaged hair chopped off so I could start from scratch — perm free. I vowed to never put another chemical in my hair. And I’ve held true to my vows, but it would be a lot easier without the looks and remarks I still receive.

Even though it may not seem like a big deal to some people to

have a person walk up to you in “amazement” with their fingers running through your hair, it’s quite offensive to many black women. It can make some of us feel like we’re the main source of entertainment at the circus. But we are not. We are African queens.

Our hair is a unique gift that not everyone was blessed with.

As a college student, I’m not asked to move to the back because I’m blocking someone’s vision anymore, but I now receive the aggravating question, “Do you wear weave?” or “How does a weave work?”

This is one of the most annoying conversations I can have with someone. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve “never seen anything like it” because what’s on my head is mine, and you have no right to question it.

People are failing to remember it’s just hair — beautiful African, natural hair to be exact. As black women, we have the ability to do many different things with our hair. We can wear our hair curly, straight, afro-styled or with a weave if we really want to. Why? Because it’s our hair, and we can and will embrace it.

Black women will forever wear their hair however they feel, but it would more fair and much easier to do so if the discrimination and judging would finally end.

Microchipping children the ‘child leash’ of this generation COLLEGE CANDY JEN BLATE Columnist How would you feel if you found out that you were microchipped by your parents? The initial thought is extremely disturbing.

Microchipping your pet involves implanting a small chip with your contact information in between the animal’s shoulder blades. The chip can be read by a scanner at most animal shelters, and it’s used to help return an animal to its rightful owner when it’s brought to the shelter.

But like child leashes, microchipping children has officially become a thing for some parents.

You can call it safe parenting, but I call it suffocating a child while inhibiting their lack of curiosity and trust within themselves.

Either way, it’s completely unethical and degrading to a child, let alone an adult.

I even went as far as to ask my parents if they would’ved microchip me if the option was available.

My parents responded with what I feel many traditional

parents would respond with — that they were protective parents. They also always had a close eye on my sister and I, and they never left either of us alone or venture into sketchy or unwelcoming areas.

My dad also touched upon the idea of the recent increase in crime in the U.S. “When you and your sister were young, things were very different,” he said. “Even today, I believe if parents are more involved with their kids and properly guide them through their childhood years, there is no reason to microchip a child.”

But people see two sides to this, each with different solutions.

On one hand, parents of children with special needs, specifically autism, discuss how this may be a revolutionary way to ensure their child’s safety.

Alternatively, by microchipping your child, you are downgrading the sense of trust you have in them and removing the idea of face-to-face communication.

It’s understandable parents want to do everything they can to protect their child from the crimeladen world we live in. I would feel the same way.

We’ve all probably heard about

microchipping because whenever we are faced with a visit to the vet, it’s the first thing we are told we should be doing for our animal if it isn’t something that has already been done.

But microchips behind dogs’ ears are simply a barcode used to locate the dog if returned to the pound. They are not GPS trackers.

And if they actually used a microchip for children, they would not only need to surgically implant the chip itself but also a cellular receiver and a battery as well.

What person in their right mind would voluntarily want a microchip, receiver and a battery surgically placed under their skin? Not me, and I am sure not you either.

Besides, they make GPS trackers for kids. And in cool fashionable ways, too, like a bracelet, temporary tattoo, or even hidden in clothing. And all of these methods are drastically less intrusive and painful than microchips.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of other resources that parents can use, instead of treating their offspring like puppies.

BrickHouse Security CEO Todd Morris mentions that the less intrusive GPS tracking options are in much higher demand.

The most popular product that BrickHouse currently has on the market is the relatively reasonable Spark Nano 4.0. It is a small, rectangular GPS tracker that can be attached to a child’s seatbelt.

Another BrickHouse product is the Toddler Tag Child Locator, which can clip on a child’s clothing, shoes or bag. It notifies the parent to its own transmitter that they have, which also doubles as a keychain, when the child wanders more than 30 feet away.

But parents of children with disabilities are very much in favor of these alternate GPS tracking devices for their children, especially parents of children with autism.

As stated by the Interactive Autism Network, about half of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder between the ages of 4 and 10 tend to wander.

This statistic is daunting, considering that 35 percent of families of children with autism report that their child is primarily nonverbal and can seldom speak their name, phone number or address, according to the Interactive Autism Network community.

But parents of children without disabilities also carry the same concern as many parents — the

fear of their child disappearing right before their eyes.

With the amount of crime and shootings we see in the news today, child abductions don’t seem that far fetched at times, at least for the paranoid and overprotective parents. And it is built in a parent’s psyche to constantly worry about their progeny.

But the negatives that exist with microchipping children certainly outweigh the positives, no questions asked.

Children need freedom to explore, ask questions and be inquisitive. It’s in their nature to be curious. To shield them from that is only going to instill in them constant fear of the world we live in, and the inability to be independent and problem solve on their own.

And even as technology continues to become more high-tech, maybe we can still resort to proper parenting, positive and negative reinforcement and rule-abiding behavior to strengthen parents trust in their youngsters.

TIGER STADIUM, from page 1 open to the public from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, according to the Gatorzone website.

Many other Southeastern Conference schools offer regularly scheduled tours of their facilities for private parties and community programs.

Tours of Tiger Stadium are available, but not advertised, Adams said.

Lalonde said most cases of trespassing on athletic facilities are not malicious but rather a tendency for

people to want to be where they aren’t allowed.

LSUPD has seen some isolated instances of minor theft and property damage, Lalonde said.

“In most instances, as I believe it was in this instance, most people are just wanting to be inside the stadium and see around,” Lalonde said. “So, it is a situation where if we do find someone in there, we do take the necessary actions. In this case, they were arrested for criminal trespassing, but there wasn’t anything more to it at that.”

Other athletic facilities have similar visitors.

The Daily Reveille know the allegations against them and what potential policy violations are being discussed, McGee Barras said. Student organizations are allowed to conduct an internal investigation and present their findings during discussions with the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of Student Advocacy and Accountability.

If a student organization is found responsible for violating the Code of Student Conduct or the Registered Student Organization Handbook, the organization either accepts an administrative decision, such as a letter of reprimand or “a more stringent kind of restriction,” or chooses to face a hearing panel, McGee Barras said. The Office of Student Advocacy and Accountability and the Office of the Dean of Students often try to resolve the situation through administrative action first.

“However, if there are circumstances where the situation or the allegations are so significant, there’s a health and safety

page 11 concern, or it’s habitual, there have been several situations over the past few years, we may recommend removal from the institution,” McGee Barras said.

Under that type of recommendation, the organization’s on-campus recognition is revoked for a specified period of time.

McGee Barras said the timeline for the investigative

The Huey P. Long Field House is another tempting spot for intruders. The Daily Reveille previously reported that four students were arrested for criminal trespassing in November 2013.

“Again, it’s people driven mostly by curiosity, but unfortunately, it is a situation we really can’t allow it to happen,” Lalonde said. “Especially when you are dealing with something like the field house, you worry about public safety, as far as ‘Would someone be injured if they were in there and things of that nature?’”

process varies based on the amount of information available and the type of situation dealt with. In situations where removing the organization is under consideration, the process often takes longer.

She said allegations surface through various sources, including official LSUPD reports, faculty observation and student concerns.
