Only 39 percent of students were introduced to anti-hazing policies when joining teams and organizations, according to the University of Maine’s national study “Hazing in View: College Students at Risk.” Organizations on campus want a higher number. Representatives from Campus Life and the Office of Student Advocacy and Accountability asked Student Government Senate to allocate $5,000 to fund an anti-hazing video and campaign at its April 15 meeting. SG Speaker of the Senate Adam Grashoff and SG senator Alexandra de Gravelle authored the finance bill, which passed 100 percent in favor. Campus Life graduate assistant Margaret Vienne and Accountability graduate assistant Reem Al-Juraid said they hope to better inform students about hazing practices and consequences with their campaign.

Miles energizes players through popular drill BY JAMES BEWERS jbewers@lsureveille.com
Les Miles sports a whistle around his neck and a tightly fitted white cap, staring down at a folded up piece of paper in his left hand. It’s a Tuesday afternoon, and members of the LSU football team are circled around their coach. Two small, orange cones lie on the turf, one on top of a
painted white line and another just inside of it. In a booming voice, Miles calls out two names. “Beckwith, Clapp,” he shouts. “Beckwith, Clapp.” Junior linebacker Kendell Beckwith and redshirt freshman offensive lineman William Clapp jog into the middle of the circle and get down in their stances as

Professor electrofishes, samples fish populations with classes BY CAITIE BURKES cburkes@lsureveille.com
A jolt of electricity sends a minor shock all the way down the Atchafalaya swamp to a trout community. The shock stuns the fish temporarily, and the sting lulls to numbness. Seconds later, the fish continue swimming merrily on their way, unharmed and unfazed. Electrofishing has an extremely low associated stress mortality rate, and it’s considered the most humane fish sampling methodology. Though it was originally practiced in the early 1900s, electrofishing did not be-
come a popular fish collection technique until the ’40s and ’50s, when a record-breaking amount of federal dollars were invested in conservation of resources. Every so often, associate professor of renewable natural resources Mike Kaller rounds up a handful of students, hops on a small barge and explores the aquaculture in the swamps of Louisiana. The students use electrofishing to sample fish populations in hopes of gaining valuable information. “It’s like Christmas — you don’t know what you’re going to get,” Kaller said. Kaller graduated from Lake Superior State University in
Michigan before landing a job with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. During both his time in college and his first job, he became familiar with the practice of electrofishing. He said his opportunities with the method, however, were limited at Lake Superior State. “They only had one electrofishing unit, and they only let their top students use it,” he said. Kaller was one of those top students. After gaining experience with the unit, he utilized his expertise in Wyoming, assessing trout populations in the

Reginelli’s Pizzeria on W. Chimes to close May 3 Longtime West Chimes Street restaurant Reginelli’s Pizzeria announced its plan to close on May 3 on Tuesday. “This isn’t the best location on campus,” manager Josh Coi said. “Competition with the newer restaurants and it’s just too expensive here — those are some of the main reasons.” With the frequent menu changes throughout the years, business has been scattered as students were less likely to purchase the more expensive menu items. Combined with the high operating costs, the restaurant became a hassle to keep running. On its last day, Reginelli’s will
hold a special party for its customers with beer and specials on shots and food to celebrate its eight years in the Northgate area. There is no word on whether another restaurant will open in its place, as no one has purchased the lease to the building. Coi said the other 10 Reginelli’s locations will remain open as of now, and the Goodwood location will absorb the current area business. “We say thank you for the eight years of good times,” Coi said. “It wasn’t a decision we came to lightly. We’re going to miss [this place], and we’re going to miss LSU.”

First wave of students University alumnus creates website take new MCAT exam for selling, donating used electronics BY CARRIE GRACE HENDERSON chenderson@lsureveille.com Biology junior Darryl Gaudet spent a total of 112 hours studying for the newly revised MCAT exam. Gaudet is one of the first wave of students to take the new version of the MCAT, a seven-and-a-half hour medical school entrance exam. This weekend hundreds of University students signed up to take the reworked test at locations all over the state. “I actually went to Shreveport to take it because the website opened to sign up for it on February 17, and I logged on and there were over 700 people ahead of me,” Gaudet said. “So, spots filled up really quickly. Biology junior Jenna Hisey said the worst part of the new test started when she was finished. Because this is the first round of exams, testers have to wait 60 days to receive their scores. Hisey started a Princeton Review course in January to prepare for the exam. Though she thinks the course prepared her for the exam, Hisey said she does not feel like the new material prepared her for medical school. “The critical analysis and reading skills, [. . .] I guess it broadened my mind to think that way, but it’s kind of just
pointless,” Hisey said. The new test has 86 additional questions and renamed sections. What used to be a trial section to test new MCAT questions now asks scoreable “Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations of Behavior” questions. Dwayne Keller, a student worker in the University Kaplan Test Prep Center, said many of the questions will now be applied to medicine rather than general science. The scoring of the test also changed. Before the 2015 changes, the maximum combined score was a 45, with a 3031 average acceptable score for most medical schools. The new maximum score is 528, with most schools accepting students around 507. Medical schools also are making the transition to accepting students who took the new test. “It depends on the medical school’s requirements,” Keller said. “You basically just have to read and see what are the medical schools’ requirements and if they are accepting the old tests or not. I think for 2015, most medical schools are still accepting the old MCATs .” Some schools, including LSU Schools of Medicine in Shreveport and New Orleans will accept both tests until the 2018 application cycle.

Pandabit, a fundraising website where nonprofit organizations and their causes promote donation of used electronics, was founded by University alumnus John-Scott Thompson.
BY JOSE ALEJANDRO BASTIDAS jbastidas@lsureveille.com
University alumnus JohnScott Thompson has developed a new way for students to help the environment, raise funds for worthy causes and get money by donating old phones. Unsatisfied in a corporate oil job, Thompson founded Pandabit, a fundraising website where nonprofit organizations and other causes promote donations of old electronic devices — cellphones, iPods and tablets — to raise money. What started as a collaboration with Shreveport schools and nonprofit organizations serving as locations where people could dispose of their old electronics is set to revamp today, when Pandabit’s new website goes live. The new Pandabit will merge Thompson’s buy/sell business with fundraising efforts, and users will choose either to donate or sell their old electronics to the company, Thompson said. Thompson started buying and selling old electronics on the side while working in the oil and gas industry. “Tons of people buy and sell electronics online ... I realized nobody was doing fundraisers online,” Thompson said. “I felt that we could integrate social media with the fundraising … and educate people about what they can do with their electronics. Everything that I take for a fundraiser goes up for sale because even if it’s broken and working, people still need phones, or this technology is being repurposed into new technology.” Once he was making more money with his business, Thompson was inspired to develop Pandabit after someone at a conference recommended he start raising funds through old electronic collection. “My disaster science [management training] kicked in,” Thompson said. “Electronic waste is the largest man-made disaster there is out there, so I can finally do something with my degree and tie in what I like as an entrepreneur along with what I liked studying in school and make a difference.” Organizations and causes encourage online followers on social media to visit their customized Pandabit page and select the item they wish to donate. Pandabit then sends a free shipping kit for the user to send the product at no cost. Stephanie Yu Lusk, director of the Marlene Yu Museum and the Rainforest Art Foundation, said working with Pandabit directly relates to the foundation’s mission statement of increasing appreciation of nature through art. The Rainforest Art Foundation and Pandabit’s collaboration started with a donation box and participation in online promotion

when Thompson’s company first launched. “[The Rainforest Art Foundation and Pandabit] have very similar goals,” Lusk said. “They’re a for-profit business and … we’re a nonprofit. We can help each other and help our environment from this toxic waste, and also help people because they don’t know necessarily what to do with those old or broken cellphones and tablets. This is a really great partnership.” Thompson said website developers are working on a new feature allowing users to give a portion of the profits from selling their phone to a good cause. He said he expects this feature soon to be incorporated
into Pandabit. Pandabit also offers literature on the importance of recycling unwanted electronic items and gives locations on where users can recycle e-waste not accepted by Thompson’s company. “Electronic waste is the largest growing waste streaming in the U.S.,” Thompson said. “It is only two percent of the waste stream, but it’s actually 70 percent of the toxic waste stream [because] all your electronics are filled with toxic materials. My goal is to educate people of the effects of what happens when you throw [electronics] in the trash and then how to give it away consciously to places that are doing the right thing.”

page 4 HAZING, from page 1 “Hazing, to us, has no face — that’s kind of the tagline we’ve been going with,” Vienne said. The majority of money allocated will fund the video’s production. Grashoff said LSU President F. King Alexander pushed for a professionally made video — one that will last for years and can be shown all over campus. Vienne said their team spoke to Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students K.C. White about playing the 45- to 60-second long video in Tiger Stadium in the fall. Another portion of the funds will go toward the campaign materials, like posters and advertisements. SG senators agreed that a student-funded campaign would have more impact than a project funded by the University. “Let’s fund this because it’s ultimately going to affect us and it’s a message that students need to give to students because that’s who we really listen to,” de Gravelle said. “We’re influenced by each other, so I really think that it’s good we’re funding this and that Student Government is taking this on.” Vienne said the project will launch this summer. The University of Maine’s study showed nine out of 10 students experiencing hazing behaviors do not consider themselves to have been hazed.
tasked with the project of doing some kind of hazing education, anti-hazing project,” Vienne said. “We were really wanting to have a campus-wide conversation about what it means to, not only talk about hazing, but try to prevent or bring to light important conversations surrounding hazing.” Vienne stressed that hazing is not just a Greek issue. The University of Maine study showed that 74 percent of varsity athletes surveyed experienced hazing — roughly the same as the percent of fraternity and sorority members who experienced hazing. Trailing behind by 10 percent, 64 percent of members in club sports said they experienced at least one behavior of hazing, according to the University of Maine study. “We know it’s not just a Greek issue, so that is a big thing we want you all to know: This is not just Greek-focused,” Vienne said. “It’s really targeting athletic groups, student organizations and different stakeholders on campus where we know hazing is occurring.” The University of Maine’s study also listed performing arts organizations, service fraternities and sororities, intramural teams, recreation clubs, academic clubs and honor societies as areas where hazing occurred to at least 20 percent of members.
Hazing is classified as an activity that endangers, humiliates, degrades or abuses someone participating in an organization, regardless of their consent.
More than 1/2 of college students involved in clubs, teams and organizations are hazed. Of those students who experienced hazing, 95 percent said they did not report the event to campus officials.
Ninety percent of students experiencing hazing behaviors did not consider it hazing. “We

DRILL, from page 1 another screech of the whistle. The energy created during the three-to-five second rounds of the Big Cat drill, though, is noticeable. “The consistency and the intensity here is special,” said LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. “I’ve never been around a place, at any level, that there’s this fierce competition on a daily basis. It makes everybody better.” The Big Cat drill starts at the beginning of each spring practice. While Miles didn’t invent the core concept of the drill, it’s still a method to his famed madness. “It’s a one-on-one drill,” Miles said. “We load it so that it’s not a big distance apart. Really, the contact is not a ram charge. We force an inside hand, helmet placement and leg drive. It’s something that I have been very consistent with over the years. “Probably, the style of the way we set it up is original to
LSU, but I’m sure everybody does something like that on a pretty regular basis.” It’s not quite the Oklahoma drill, which former Oklahoma football coach Bud Wilkinson made famous. There’s no ball carrier or tackler in Big Cat. It’s all about the two players crouched inches apart, vying to drive the other one into the turf. While Miles never officially declares a winner in any given turn between two players, the reaction of teammates circled around the drill tells the story. At the very least, the offensive and defensive players will argue about it at the end of each round. Sophomore running back Leonard Fournette said Cameron gives all the encouragement the offense needs to win the drill. “It’s coach Cam,” Fournette said. “Coach Cam says we have to beat [the defense]. We have to compete every day. We just went out there and had it on our mind. We were 7-0, as you can see, and things got out of hand. But that’s a part of football. That’s brothers

CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS Three students arrested for theft Three University students were arrested for simple burglary inside the Acacia fraternity house, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde. Patrick Green, 19, Dylan Graham, 19, and Drew Graham, 19, were arrested April 17 just after 2 a.m. for simple burglary and resisting an officer, Lalonde said. Lalonde said LSUPD officers were patrolling the West Lakeshore Drive area and
observed people inside the Acacia fraternity house, a restricted building. Officers entered the house, and three exited the house on foot. After a short chase, officers detained Green, Drew and Dylan, Lalonde said. LSUPD believes there is at least one other person who fled the scene before officers arrived. It is an ongoing investigation, Lalonde said. Green, Drew and Dylan were booked into East Baton Rouge Parish prison.
Student arrested for public indecency Joseph Steiben, 20, was arrested April 18 at just after 10 p.m. for urinating in a public place, Lalonde said. LSUPD received a complaint around 10 p.m. from workers at The Cook Hotel at LSU in reference to a man urinating near the southeastern corner of the hotel. Lalonde said officers were in the area, and Steiben was taken into custody and issued a misdemeanor summons.
tourist-heavy area. He set up regulations based off his observations of what anglers were catching and also from electrofishing the population. He came to the University in 2001, first as a graduate student, then as a scientist and now as a faculty member. Kaller said he ensured electrofishing opportunities would be more available to students at the University than they were at his first alma mater. “Here at LSU, anyone who has taken Fisheries Techniques and anyone who has demonstrated to me that they are a safe and responsible person gets to use the equipment,” Kaller said. Electrofishing provides data that helps researchers and lawmakers alike establish harvest regulations, he said. It also helps them identify the status of populations of species of conservation concern, otherwise known as endangered species. Kaller said associated economic values come from both harvesting and conserving populations. Though the conservation value is harder to put a dollar sign on, he said, one way to measure the value is by how much it would cost to replace the animals if they were gone. He said by monitoring their
populations and understanding their distributions in space and time through electrofishing, the state can avoid costly management and restoration price tags that exist for those species. “Harvest adds value and conservation stops loss,” Kaller said. Electrofishing is considered an active sampling method, meaning the electricity is brought directly to the fish, as opposed to passive methods like nets where the fish have to swim to the bait. Kaller said this allows researchers to get into more complicated habitats than possible with a net, including aquatic vegetation beds, fallen trees and undercut banks. With their findings, Kaller and his students provide data to several agencies, including the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, courtesy of electrofishing. “I think it’s one of the most effective techniques we have available,” he said. Kaller’s studies range from sampling fish cultures in the Atchafalaya Basin before and after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to the cause of fish migrating away from mountaintop mines in the East Coast. The materials and
equipment necessary to fund these discoveries, however, have a high price. There are currently three types of electrofishing units on campus: backpack style units, which run from $7,000 to $9,000; barge style units, which cost about the same; and boatmounted units, which range from $13,000 to $35,000. Kaller said the wealth of knowledge gained from each excursion is worth every penny. “[Electrofishing] gives us a different piece of information toward understanding the ecosystem,” Kaller said.
trying to get better.” Fournette’s claim to a 7-0 start to the drill came on that specific Tuesday, but as he alluded to, the drill did get a bit chaotic. Sophomore defensive end Deondre Clark and junior offensive tackle Jevonte Domond squared up against each other in the sixth round of the drill. After some movement between the engaged players, the drill ultimately came to a stalemate. As Domond continued his final push after Miles had blown the whistle, Clark reciprocated, starting a tussle of swinging arms. Domond’s helmet even came off in the scuffle But players and coaches broke up the fight almost as quickly as it started, and Miles went back to shouting out names, only further animating the environment. Fournette jokingly shouted, “We won the fight, too,” as soon as it ended. “We tried to start it off and get after it,” sophomore defensive tackle Davon Godchaux said with a smile. “People like [sopho-
more safety] Jamal Adams, he’s always intense when we go Big Cat. The other day we were just amped up. We were just ready to practice. That’s it. It’s LSU. That’s how we do.” Players like Adams are equally as active in the drill, even when they’re not competing, motivating their fellow defenders and dishing out friendly smack talk when the round is done. While he doesn’t participate because he’s a quarterback, sophomore Brandon Harris said the liveliness of the drill is an important step to a successful practice. “Sometimes, you need that,” Harris said. “You have some guys who just need to be pushed a little bit, where they can go out and have a great practice ... I just like when guys go out and compete. It’s not all about fist fighting, this and that. It’s about another guy on defense pushing an offensive guy and an offensive guy pushing a defensive guy. “That gets the morality of the team going, and we’re able to go out and have a great day.”
But as Big Cat ramps up and the players close in the circle around the competitors, Miles’ enjoyment of the drill is visible. “It’s a manly way to start a practice,” Miles said. “I can tell you that.”

Tigers allow one hit in 6-0 win against Tulane

LSU senior catcher Kade Scivicque (22) gestures to the mound Tuesday during the Tigers’ 6-0 victory against Tulane at Alex Box Stadium.
Scivicque emerges as leader behind the plate BY DAVID GRAY | dgray@lsureveille.com
A
.300 hitter for nearly two seasons at LSU, senior catcher Kade Scivicque has shown the damage he can do with a bat. But Scivicque’s work behind the plate is just as valuable to the No. 1 Tigers. “A big part of his job is handling the pitching staff, especially those young pitchers,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “He’s been phenomenal with them. He knows when to go out there and take visits, he knows when to chew them [out] and he knows when to pat them on the back.” With at least two freshmen making a start in
every three-game series this season, steadiness at catcher is a necessity for LSU. Scivicque, who recently made the watch list for the 2015 Johnny Bench Award given annually to the nation’s best catcher, has quietly provided a calm presence behind home plate, making him one of the most crucial pieces for the nation’s top-ranked club. Though LSU’s lineup features nationally wellknown players such as junior shortstop Alex Bregman, junior outfielder Andrew Stevenson and freshman pitcher Alex Lange, Mainieri said
The LSU baseball team flexed its muscles after a seventh-inning stretch. Junior first baseman Chris Chinea smoked a leadoff home run to blow open a two-run game in the seventh, and No. 1 LSU completed its seasonsweep of Tulane with a 6-0 victory Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium. Tuesday’s game marked the third time this season LSU (356) shut out an opponent, but it was the fifth time this season the Green Wave (24-16) failed to score a run. LSU jumped ahead in the first inning after consecutive two-out doubles from junior shortstop Alex Bregman and senior third baseman Conner Hale. But the Tigers tallied just three hits over the next five innings before Chinea blasted one over the left-center field fence. LSU’s mid-game slump slightly panicked coach Paul Mainieri, who said he wondered whether his club was more focused on its next opponent — No. 2 Texas A&M — than in-state foe Tulane. “I was a little worried they

Dunkley excels in transition from jumper to sprinter BY JACOB HAMILTON jhamilton@lsureveille.com
JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
LSU junior sprinter Fitzroy Dunkley claps after finishing first with a time of 46.55 on the men’s 400-meter dash during the 2015 LSU Invitational Battle on the Bayou on April 4 at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium.
LSU junior sprinter Fitzroy Dunkley is used to being out of his comfort zone. The Trelawny, Jamaica, native emerged as one of the top high jump and triple jump prospects in Jamaica during high school, and he packed up and moved nearly 1,200 miles from home after earning a track and field scholarship to LSU. “It’s typical of Jamaicans to receive a track and field scholarship to America because track and field is really big in Jamaica,” Dunkley said. “Getting a scholarship to come over here is something we really work on.” Moving to America was an adjustment for Dunkley because he said it’s a different culture than he was used to, but he was still at home on the track. Dunkley quickly made an impact for
the Tigers. He was an NCAA Championships qualifier in the triple jump during his freshman season, and he capped off the season with a 23rd-place finish in the triple jump at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. He set personal bests in the triple jump in the indoor and outdoor seasons during his sophomore year but failed to qualify for the NCAA semifinals. LSU coach Dennis Shaver said injuries held Dunkley back from jumping to the best of his ability. Shaver experimented with putting him in the 400-meter dash, and Dunkley impressed him as the third leg on the Southeastern Conference outdoor bronze-medal team. After finally settling into life in America, Dunkley was put out of his comfort zone again when Shaver moved him to the 400-meter dash permanently.

LSU creates favorable matchups with diverse pitchers BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com Last season, the LSU softball team lived and died on the arm of then-freshman ace Baylee Corbello. But in 2015, the No. 3 Tigers depend on their young rotation of three pitchers along with Corbello to shut down opponents. For the first season since arriving in Baton Rouge, LSU coach Beth Torina has the confidence in her pitching staff to depend on matchups at the plate instead of relying on a particular ace. “It’s amazing to have all four of these arms,” Torina said. “It’s a huge difference maker in this season that people don’t really know who to be prepared for on any given day. We always have that in our back pocket.” The Tigers’ diverse staff has established itself as one of the top rotations in the Southeastern Conference by consistently shutting down top offenses and baffling elite hitters. LSU’s staff is second in the SEC with a 1.70 ERA, 332 strikeouts, 89 strikeouts looking, 98 runs allowed and 41 wins. The Tigers lead the conference with 33 complete games this season. The Tigers’ dominance is built on each pitcher’s distinctive style in the circle and ability to step up when she gets an opportunity. Although Corbello is the Tigers’ most battle-tested pitcher, freshman pitchers Carley Hoover (12-2) and Allie

LSU sophomore pitcher Kelsee Selman looks to home plate March 24 during the Tigers’ 8-0 win against South Alabama at Tiger Park. Walljasper (12-2) have excelled against top lineups early in their LSU careers. Against then-No. 6 Oklahoma on March 20, Hoover shut out the Sooners’ elite lineup for the first time in 2015, earning her third win against a ranked opponent. She held Oklahoma’s power-hitting duo of senior infielders Lauren Chamberlain and Shelby Pendleton to 0-for-6 at the plate. “Just to be able to be on the same field as the players that I was playing against tonight is pretty incredible,” Hoover said after the win against
Oklahoma. “They’re amazing players.” In her first season, Walljasper’s versatility and consistency in the circle have translated into 86 and two-thirds innings pitched and staff-leading 15 starts. As the Tigers’ workhorse, Walljasper leads the rotation with a 1.37 ERA and 11 complete games. Sophomore pitcher Kelsee Selman (8-0) has drastically improved in 2015 after struggling in league play during her freshman campaign. After dropping Game 3 of

the Tigers’ series in 2014, Selman said she went into LSU’s 2015 top-two showdown with Florida this season with a determination to shut down the Gators on their home field. In Game 3 on March 15, Selman held Florida to three runs on four hits and recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts, clinching the series for LSU. Although carrying a lighter load this season, Corbello (9-2) has thrived under pressure and delivered some of the Tigers’ most important wins this season, including a mustwin Game 3 victory against Kentucky on March 29. After LSU dropped the first two games against the Wildcats, Torina turned to Corbello in Game 3 to avoid a sweep. Corbello responded by shutting out the Wildcats and tallying eight strikeouts in her sixth complete game of the season. “She was unbelievable [in Game 3],” Torina said. “It may have been the best game I’ve ever seen her pitch.” Despite its success this season, LSU’s rotation has struggled to close series during the final stretch of SEC play. In their last two conference series, the Tigers’ pitchers have allowed 10 walks, 10 earned runs, 15 hits and three home runs in the final games of both series. Selman and Corbello combined for eight walks and seven strikeouts in Game 3 against then-No. 24 Texas A&M on Monday night. The Tigers’ rotation aims to learn from its mistakes and get back on track in their final SEC road series against No. 15 Missouri this weekend. “We’re looking at the rest of the games this year,” Hoover said after the loss to Texas A&M. “Just really being prepared and working our butts off for the next seven games before the [SEC] Tournament.” You can reach Morgan Prewitt on Twitter @kmprewitt_TDR.
Wednesday, April 22, 2015 SCIVICQUE, from page 5 no one commands the respect Scivicque does. “I’m not sure that we have a better leader or more respected player on our team than Kade Scivicque,” Mainieri said. That team-wide respect comes in handy for any catcher, but especially one with as young a pitching staff as Scivicque has. Scivicque said young pitchers get rattled when they try to make the game faster than they should. His job is to “slow the game down” and get the young guns to focus on “one pitch at a time.” Lange said the senior catcher doesn’t like to talk much, but when he does, everyone listens. “Whatever Kade says is what’s right,” Lange said. “If he comes out there and says something, you know he’s telling you what you need to hear. I respect him 100 percent.” Four of the six LSU pitchers leading the team in innings are freshmen, including three who have started multiple games this season. Scivicque has caught for the young staff in the majority of those games. He started at catcher in 30 of LSU’s 40 games prior to Tuesday’s game against Tulane, something he did in less than half the games in 2014. In addition to his increased workload, Scivicque has taken on a larger role in the dugout. As one of only two seniors to appear in 35 games this season, Scivicque has been asked to assume more of a leadership role for a team hoping to reach the College World Series for the first time in two years. Mainieri said Scivicque is the ideal player for the job. “There’s not a better kid on our team — or human being that I’ve ever met, really — than Kade Scivicque,”
Mainieri said. Mainieri hasn’t had many better hitters than Scivicque, whose dominance at the plate has masked his performance behind it. Prior to Tuesday’s game against Tulane, the Maurepas, Louisiana, native was one of only two players in the Southeastern Conference batting better than .400, leading the Tigers with a .404 average. Only former standout Raph Rhymes, who was named 2012 SEC Player of the Year, has batted at least .400 for an entire season during Mainieri’s nine years at LSU. The skipper said Scivicque could be next. “He’s making this game look easy,” Mainieri said. “I’m never surprised by anything he does, and I think he’s going to continue it right through the end of the year.” But Bregman said he’s more amazed at how Scivicque handled his team-low three hitless games or 10 strikeouts. Instead of hanging his head, Scivicque moved on — something Bregman said is essential in the humbling game of baseball. “He’s the same guy every day,” Bregman said. “He doesn’t get down. He doesn’t throw his helmet or get mad when people mess up. He’s very even-keeled, and it inspires a lot of guys.” With a paramount threegame series against No. 2 Texas A&M beginning Thursday, the Tigers will need Scivicque’s guidance behind home plate just as much as his powerful swing. Even though Scivicque’s hitting streak ended against Tulane on Tuesday night, Bregman said the team leader will be fine. “He doesn’t care about the hitting streak,” Bregman said. “He just wants to win.” You can reach David Gray on Twitter @dgray_TDR.

BANKING with BAE Couples need to consider the pros and cons of joint accounts
JAY TALKING JAY CRANFORD Columnist Whether the thought makes you want to cry or makes you daydream about your big day, it’s a fact of life that your friends, and maybe you, will be getting married soon. One of the first big decisions married couples make is whether to have a joint bank account. In fact, you don’t have to be married to open a joint bank account. Anyone can open a bank account together. You may find yourself in a situation where your significant other wants to open a joint bank account with you, or you may be considering asking your significant other. Either way, it’s a decision you shouldn’t take lightly, so let’s look at the pros and cons. The obvious benefit of a joint bank account is convenience. Being able to pay for shared expenses becomes hasslefree: The money just comes out of the joint bank account. If you both pay equal amounts into the joint account, there doesn’t have to be any arguing over who should pay for what. The joint money can pay rent/mortgages, bills and other shared costs, like dining out so neither of you will feel like one is paying for more than the other is. Adding convenience to the mundane task of finances might make your relationship easier. Joint bank accounts not only offer convenience, but also provide legal benefits. For example, if one of you unexpectedly passes away without a will, the living person will have legal right to the money in the account, even if you aren’t married. In addition, you will both have 100 percent access to the account, so no one has to
GAELAN HARRINGTON / The Daily Reveille
ask the other when they need money. This brings us to the first disadvantage of having a joint account: Both of you will have 100 percent access to the account. If you both aren’t completely honest when you use money, it will create problems. You have to set rules for what purchases need to be discussed with each other. For instance, some couples may be fine with making $1,000 purchases without discussing beforehand, while other may not. Problems could occur if you have different financial outlooks. If you’re a frugal spender and your significant other likes to make it rain at Whole Foods every week, that’s a recipe for disaster without effective communication. Spending habits may also differ because one person earns more than the other, which could create conflicts about use

of funds. Finances can easily ruin a relationship, but the key is to have great communication skills to overcome your differences. However if you don’t have great communication this leads to the obvious disadvantage — what happens when you break up or divorce? Since you’re both legally entitled to the account, separating the money can be a long and nasty legal battle. You may not even see any of the money if your ex can drain the accounts. Yes, you can go to court but it’s a long process. There are two disadvantages people tend to overlook when deciding to have a joint account. The first is having a joint account isn’t romantic. In a relationship, it’s nice to give and receive gifts from your significant other and to go on dates. However, a date
might lose some of its charm when the money is both of yours. The second overlooked disadvantage is a joint bank account can make people feel less independent because they feel they have to check with their significant other every time they want to make a purchase. If the question this column aims to answer is whether you should open a joint bank account, then the answer I give you is: Well, it depends. If you reread the pros and cons, you’ll see you can make almost every pro into a con and vice versa. You may have heard of studies that found couples who share finances are happier than couples who don’t. However, take these studies with a grain of salt because correlation may not imply causation.

may be in a more stable relationship than those who don’t share money or couples who share money are most likely in more trusting relationship, and probably a happier relationship. To decide on having a joint bank account, both of you should answer these three questions. Are your spending habits similar? Do you have a joint budget? What would make you sleep better at night? If you answer “no” to the first two questions, you can still make a joint account work. You just have to be honest and have great communication with each other. If you answer “no” to the third question, there’s no negotiating. If it doesn’t feel right, then don’t do it. Still can’t decide between opening a joint bank account or not? Remember banks allow you to have more than one account. Try easing into sharing finances by opening a joint account and both of you only contribute a small amount of money and see how it works. If I would make one suggestion to every couple, it would be to have both separate and joint bank accounts. Take your paycheck and put 10 percent away for savings and retirement, 30 percent to your personal bank account and the remaining 60 percent to a joint account. This setup allows you both to have your own spending money,while having a joint account to pay for any costs you’re both responsible for. However, this decision isn’t one I can make for you, both you and your significant other need to sit down and discuss what’s best for your relationship. This column should just serve as a road map for the discussion. Jay Cranford is a 20-year-old finance junior from St. Simons Island, Georgia. You can reach him on Twitter @hjcranford.

Excessive patriotism limits America’s ability to improve GREEN CARD APPLICANT
MARKUS HÜFNER Columnist The fact that many people feel the need to be patriotic to be a “real American” is mind-blowing to me and confirms stereotypes about Americans. There’s nothing wrong with loving your country, but the effect patriotism has on some people can be terrifying. Few Europeans dare to describe themselves as patriotic, mostly because nationalism has led to warfare. If you live in Germany and have a German flag hanging on your balcony and there is no soccer game going on, you will most likely be looked at as a neo-Nazi because you seem to be proud of what this country has done in its past. In Norway, you show the nation’s flag for special occasions only. There is not really a reason otherwise. It would seem weird to always show it to the public. People know what the flag looks like. Then there’s The United States, where it seems like half the citizens have the flag hanging in their room, balcony and backyard 365 days a year. People wake up and salute it. Students look up to it in classrooms and have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. You cannot even go to a beach without seeing at least one overly patriotic guy wearing an American flag bathing suit.
DAVID CARSON / The Associated Press
Ferguson protester Cheyenne Green struggles to hold onto an American flag as a football fan makes a grab for it outside the Edward Jones Dome after a St. Louis Rams game. One of the things I have learned since moving to the U.S. is that every country has its pros and cons. The U.S. has many pros (especially if you have money), but many cons as well. What are you guys so proud of? Is it the number of shootings that occur every day? The number of homeless people begging for money on every corner? The number of high school dropouts, racists and teenage pregnancies? It seems like America is only comparing itself to the Middle East, Russia and China, because these examples are only a small part of the things that should not be normal for a country
that calls itself the greatest in the world. The U.S. has the 21st best high school graduation rate in the world, according to a ranking on aneki.com, even though 85 percent of high school exchange students say American classes are easier, according to wamu.org. Patriotism results in people not acknowledging these facts. Let’s take a look at news in socialist countries such as Germany and Norway and keep in mind all the daily crimes and gang fights that are not even newsworthy in America anymore. On tagesschau.de, one of Germany’s
most trustworthy networks, one of the biggest national issues is that train drivers are on strike, so a large number of trains are not running for the next few days. The other front-page news is about soccer and how German classes are getting less popular in France. On aftenposten.no, one of Norway’s most trustworthy newspapers’ front page, the biggest story is how the police have found an item that might have been used in a murder that happened three years ago. This is newsworthy because newspapers would only write about sports and international news otherwise.
This daily news is proof that there’s less crime in other countries, but they still don’t see a reason to flaunt their patriotism. I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be for a foreigner to point out the flaws of your country. But instead of feeling insulted and protective, people should acknowledge these facts and do something about them. Unfortunately, this is where the patriotism kicks in the most, and the narrow-minded, ignorant voices are heard the best. I feel like I am kicked back into the “good old days,” where any form of criticizing the government is illegal. This results in people being extremely shocked every time socialist countries like Denmark and Norway place first for having the best democracy and being the best country to live in. Instead of trying to compete with those countries, Americans think about 70-year-old war victories and other great times in the country’s history and feel like this country is great enough already. Don’t get me wrong; I do enjoy it here and will probably stay after graduation because I have my own reasons to do so. But the belief that America is best in everything gives its citizens a crooked picture of the world and the country a reputation nobody should be proud of.

THE Daily Commuter Puzzle
CHARLES CHAMPAGNE / The Daily Reveille
LSU junior catcher Chris Chinea (26) is congratulated at home plate Tuesday after hitting a home run during the Tigers’ 6-0 victory against Tulane at Alex Box Stadium.
WIN, from page 5 were looking beyond tonight,” Mainieri said. But the game turned against Tulane after Chinea’s sixth homer of the season. The Green Wave surrendered three consecutive singles after Chinea’s solo shot, and senior designated hitter Chris Sciambra gave the Tigers a four-run cushion with a base hit to right field. Hale then sealed Tulane’s fate with a two-run single to right to put LSU ahead by six. Hale blasted the Green Wave staff all night, batting 3-for-4 with a season-high tying three RBIs. Sciambra also drove in a pair of runs in the leadoff spot. LSU freshman pitcher Austin Bain (1-1, 3.07 ERA) picked up his first win in his second start of the season. But Bain was limited to just two innings before Mainieri went to the
bullpen, which was well-rested after inclement weather limited the Tigers to two games against Georgia last weekend. LSU’s bullpen didn’t give up a hit in seven scoreless innings. Freshman pitcher Jake Godfrey equaled Bain in innings pitched with two and retired the sides in the fourth and fifth frames. Freshman closer Jesse Stallings was the last of eight relievers to take the mound for the Tigers and struck out Tulane sophomore outfielder Lex Kaplan to end the game. As a whole, LSU’s staff held Tulane to a season-low one hit in 27 at-bats (.037), marking the first time the Tigers limited an opponent to one hit all year. Only six Green Wave batters reached base, and senior centerfielder John Gandolfo was the lone Tulane runner to safely make it to second. “The pitching staff played out exactly the way we had hoped it would, maybe even a
little bit better,” Mainieri said. The only LSU pitcher to give up a hit was Bain. His teammates made sure he knew. “I’ve already [heard] a few jokes, and I haven’t even made it to the locker room yet,” Bain said. The Tigers finished with 11 hits, but six came in their final two innings at the plate. Senior catcher Kade Scivicque went 0-for-3, ending his hitting streak at 23 games, and junior outfielder Mark Laird also went hitless in four plate appearances. But the Tigers’ dominance on the mound masked their off night in the batter’s box. “We didn’t hit a lot, but we hit enough,” Mainieri said. “Especially when you only give up one hit.” You can reach David Gray on Twitter @dgray_TDR.
