SG assigns grades to state legislators
BY JUSTIN DICHARIA jdicharia@lsureveille.com Louisiana legislators were reminded of the red ink letter grades on top of quizzes and tests in elementary school as Student Government released a report card Monday grading state legislators on their dedication to higher education. This legislative session, state lawmakers frantically searched for solutions to a $1.6 billion budget shortfall that threatened an 82 percent cut to Louisiana’s state universities and colleges. Through a series of cutbacks to tax incentives and a political showdown on the phantom SAVE tax, the Legislature approved a budget, which lowered the budget deficit and fully funded higher education. The SAVE Act, proposed by Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, was an attempt to prevent Gov. Bobby Jindal from vetoing the state budget. The act provided a phantom tax and tax rebate, which met the re-

quirements of Jindal’s “no tax” pledge, complying with Grover Norquist and the Americans for Tax Reform’s requirements of no net tax increases. Gubernatorial candidate Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, opposed the SAVE Act along with many Republicans and Democrats in the House and Democrats in the Senate. Edwards received an 88.9 percent B on the SG report card for his votes against legislation with SAVE language, a tuition and fee control bill and the original proposed state budget. Edwards explained his opposition to the

LSU looks to avoid elimination from CWS Roads surrounding The Standard to be fixed by fall BY JAMES BEWERS jbewers@lsureveille.com
JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
LSU junior outfielder Mark Laird (9) reacts after missing a foul ball during the Tigers’ 10-3 loss against TCU in the NCAA Men’s College World Series on Sunday at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
OMAHA – “Business trip” was the common phrase used by the LSU baseball team to describe the program’s 17th trip to the College World Series. For Tigers making a return to Omaha, it’s a trip of unfinished business, trying to right the wrongs of an 0-2 outing in their freshman season. For players here for the first time, it’s a chance to show the nation they mean business on the biggest stage. But as LSU coach Paul Mainieri will say, baseball can quickly
humble any player or team, and, on Sunday, the Tigers’ first showing at TD Ameritrade Park was far from business-like. “I can tell you one lesson you learn very quickly in this business is that not everything goes as planned,” Mainieri said. “This career is not one you sail on a ship on glass-like water. There’s a lot of turbulence that you have to navigate. [Sunday] was a disaster. I don’t know how else to say it. It was maybe the worst game we’ve had since I’ve been the coach at LSU in nine years.”

The roads that surround construction of the new apartment complex, The Standard at Baton Rouge, will be fixed by the company, National Corporate Leasing Director Cathy Bryan said. Since construction on The Standard began last year, the quality of roads around the site has dropped significantly. The roads are covered in dirt, filled with potholes and warped due to the inability to withstand the severe weight that comes with constant exposure to heavy machinery.
Fortunately for those who frequently drive down Aster, Alaska, Iowa and West Chimes streets, the wait for better roads will be over soon. Bryan said construction and street repairs will be complete before school starts in the fall. Bryan said when the project is complete, the area should be better than it was previously due to measures the company will take to make the area look new. Landscaping and new roads are just a couple of plans to bring the area up to The Standard’s quality. “We always, always leave

game of thrones finale HBO
‘Orange’ more of the same from Netflix BRAINS AND BRAUN
EMILY BRAUNER Writer, Photographer This season of “Orange is the New Black” isn’t as dark as season two. Now, there are still some gritty scenes, don’t get me wrong. It delves into suicide, rape and corporate greed, but the issues are scattered across the episodes to keep the season lighter. With Daya expecting a baby soon, season three takes the opportunity to explain her relationship with her mother, Aleida, in a way that makes you realize her true feelings. Many more characters’ pasts are explored such as Chang, Norma and Pennsatucky, which give you a better understanding of their plights within the season. Besides the smaller characters, Alex is back in Litchfield as well, and she spends the season paranoid that Kubra is out to get her, putting her relationship with Piper in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Piper starts a new enterprise after Litchfield introduces a fresh job for the inmates.
The reason for all the changes? Litchfield’s ownership changes, and with that come a few technical problems for Caputo. Overall, the excitement level of the season is pretty low; the show is slower than the previous seasons, resulting in a confusingly stable finale. I think the cause for the lack of anticipation, was the fact that this season really didn’t have a villain. In season one we had Pennsatucky, in season two, Vee, but season three’s lack of an emotionally manipulative person leaves it feeling stale. Sure, there’s tons of character development, but what didn’t make “OITNB” so exciting was the amount of lesbian sex. Netflix capitalizes on sex, bringing in more scenes thinking it will please viewers when it just makes it seem like a desparate attempt at an HBO show. “Orange is the New Black” is back with a new set of problems, but it isn’t the characters that have them. Emily Brauner is a 20-year-old film and media arts junior from New Orleans. You can reach her on Twitter @brauner_emily.
With another “Game of Thrones” season come and gone, this finale doesn’t disappoint. “Mother’s Mercy” is full of on-screen deaths, off-screen deaths, abandonment and atonement.

NOT ANOTHER BASEBALL CLICHÉ
Opinion: Tigers need big moment on offense to turn tide in CWS
#BEWMAHA JAMES BEWERS
Chief Sports Writer OMAHA – In baseball, you often get beat over the head with clichés. It happens in all of sports, but it especially happens on the diamond. Whether it’s a coach, player, analyst, writer or any random fan, you will hear some
phrase or sentence that pretty much only applies to baseball. America’s game is selfish in that way. If you’ve spent any time around the sport, one of the clichés you hear is “hitting is contagious.” It essentially means that a player is more likely to get a hit following a base hit on the previous at-bat. But there’s no definitive reason behind this idea.

LSU track and field teams close out seasons in Oregon BY JACK WOODS jwoods@lsureveille.com
Senior sprinter Vernon Norwood displayed his speed numerous times during his LSU career and put his talents on display in an LSU uniform one last time at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Friday in Eugene, Oregon. The Morgan City, Louisiana, native outran the competition in the 400-meter dash final to win the national championship, posting a time of 45.10 seconds. He returned to the track for the 4x400-meter relay final posting a 44.97-second split to help the Tigers claim gold in the event. “We couldn’t be more proud of Vernon,” said LSU coach Dennis Shaver. “He really ran inspired today. It’s not easy to run so many races in conditions like this where the wind is really blowing, but he got it done for
us today.” The four-time NCAA champion and nine-time All-American led the Tigers to a fourth-place finish. Norwood left Oregon with two national titles and three All-America honors in the last appearance of his LSU career. Senior sprinter and hurdler Quincy Downing (400-meter hurdles), senior hurdler Joshua Thompson (110-meter hurdles), senior sprinter Aaron Ernest (200-meter dash) and sophomore sprinter Tremayne Acy (200-meter dash) earned All-American status for their performances. Thompson, Norwood, Acy and Ernest also claimed bronze and All-American recognition in the 4x100-meter relay in the first final of Friday’s action. The combined efforts on the men’s side saw the team claim 45 points to finish behind Arkansas (53), Florida (56) and Oregon (85).
“We really had a great meet,” Shaver said. “The men really stepped it up. I think the performances that we had at this meet were at a level that shows just how competitive this team is. We had a lot of personal bests and other outstanding performances today that led to a great finish for the team.” On Saturday, it was the women’s turn to display their talents. The Lady Tigers claimed an 11th-place finish with the efforts of their underclassmen. The Lady Tigers’ 4x100-meter relay team, formed by sophomore sprinter Rushell Harvey, freshman sprinter Aleia Hobbs, sophomore sprinter Jada Martin and freshman sprinter and hurdler Mikiah Brisco, sprinted to a fifth-place finish in the first race of the day. Junior sprinter and hurdler

Strands Café is a small, family-run business, where friendly service comes second only to the pastries. All the pastries are handmade each morning, and all coffee syrups are in house. The Europe inspired café offers rustic inspired décor from family vacations to Germany, Switzerland and Hawaii. The only pitfall to this cozy, hidden gem is the location, nestled in downtown Baton Rouge, but after 20 minutes of looking for a spot, getting to nestle into the quiet little café is well worth the wait.

Sky Zone brings Ultimate Dodgeball to Baton Rouge BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com
Trampolines are iconic symbols of childhood, representing countless hours spent jumping in the backyard with friends. But now, trampoline fun is no longer reserved for children with the opening of the Sky Zone Trampoline Park. With five Ultimate Dodgeball courts, Sky Zone brings a new look to dodgeball that offers a competitive environment and a fun way to workout. “[Dodgeball] is really something that I encourage everyone to try,” said Sky Zone Baton Rouge owner Peter Busenlener. “When you are on [a full regulation court], you’re able to bounce off the sidewalls and do flips to dodge a ball or duck down on your belly and bounce back up.” Throughout the summer, Sky Zone, which has another location
in Lafayette, Louisiana, will have a multitude of ways to play dodgeball on a variety of different levels. Every Wednesday, Sky Zone will host a Drop-in Dodgeball Derby which allows players to show up and arrange themselves into teams on the spot. Busenlener said these informal tournaments take on a “King of the Hill” style, where the winning team stays on the court for up to five games before rotating off. In July, Sky Zone will start hosting a six or seven week official Ultimate Dodgeball league where teams of six to ten people will compete together once a week. Before the start of the local qualifier for Ultimate Dodgeball Championship in August, Sky Zone will offer a warm-up tournament to help players adjust to the more specific dodgeball championship rules. “[The regulation dodgeballs]
are a little more firm,” Busenlener said. “They fly faster through the air. It’s a lot more exciting, and it’s more of a competition pace.” The regional qualifier will be held in the end of August, setting the stage for the national championship tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada, and broadcasted nationally on Fox Sports Net in early September, Busenlener said. Although dodgeball is the main attraction, Sky Zone offers a variety of other trampoline-related activities, including a pit of gymnastic foam and a large open jumping area. “I love the large main court with wall-to-wall trampolines,” Busenlener said. “It’s really fun to be able to jump across an expanse and bounce across the wall and go back across the expanse.” You can reach Morgan Prewitt on Twitter @kmprewitt_TDR.

SUMMER
The Daily Reveille
TELEVISION With classes over (for most of us) summer means having time to catch up on new seasons of some of our favorite shows and even start some new ones.
compiled by REBECCA DOCTER rdocter@lsureveille.com
“ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK” SEASON 3 (NETFLIX)
The animals, the animals...by the time you finish it, you’ll want to scream the theme song from the emotional scarring this season will put you through, but, in the end, the individuality of the show will make it worth a watch. IF YOU LIKE: “Weeds,” “Breaking Bad”
“TRUE DETECTIVE” SEASON 2 (HBO)
It’s not full of Voodoo (probably), it’s not in Louisiana and it’s not Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, but the overall intensity of last season is reason enough to tune in for the second season of the HBO drama. IF YOU LIKE: “The X-Files,” “Twin Peaks”
“TEEN MOM 2” SEASON 6 (MTV)
If you’re anything like me (and you embarrassingly cry during Snooki’s wedding in front of everyone), you’ll do nearly anything for a dose of classic MTV reality series “Teen Mom.” “Teen Mom 2” is the reboot, but it’s just as good as the original. IF YOU LIKE: “Teen Mom,” “Snooki & JWoww”
“TOP 5 RESTAURANTS” (FOOD NETWORK)
We all know the best time to watch Food Network shows is when you’re hungry...and if the previews are correct, this show will make you really, really, really hungry. IF YOU LIKE: “Ramsay’s Best Restaurant,” “Food Network Star”
“BECOMING US” (ABC FAMILY)
From the previews, this heartfelt reality show about a teen who finds out his dad is transgender around the same time his girlfriend discovers the same about her father looks like the perfect break from action dramas such as “Game of Thrones”(cough, cough cry). IF YOU LIKE: “Transparent,” “Pretty Little Liars”

Tuesday, June 16, 2015 CWS, from page 1 With their backs against the wall following Sunday’s 10-3 loss to TCU, the Tigers will attempt to cut out mistakes and stave off elimination in a loser’s bracket game against Cal State-Fullerton on Tuesday at 2 p.m. LSU’s miscues, while uncharacteristic, completely shifted the momentum of the game, but it came with odd timing. Sophomore starting pitcher Jared Poche’ flew through his first three innings, retiring the first nine batters he faced, but a great defensive play by the Horned Frogs got the ball rolling away from the Tigers. First, it was a one-hop throw to the plate by TCU senior center fielder Cody Jones to end the bottom of the third, crushing a run-scoring opportunity off of a base hit. Next, it was back-toback throwing errors by Poche’ on weakly hit ground balls in the top of the fourth. Then, it was two walks, an error by third baseman Conner Hale and a hit batter in the top of fifth. By the bottom of the sixth, TCU led 6-1 on just four hits, and LSU’s southpaw hurler had been chased from the game. In total, LSU pitchers allowed 11 different TCU runners to reach base without a hit. With the exception of the one run scored in the bottom of fourth, the LSU offense virtually had no answer for Horned Frogs righthanded ace Preston Morrison, who struck out five in seven innings of work. “It just unravelled,” Mainieri said. “It was like a snowball going down the backside of a hill. You wanted it to stop, but it just seemed like one thing after another kept happening.” Now, the Tigers enter Tuesday’s game needing to win four games in five days, but none of those are as important as the next one. Fortunately for LSU, this season has showed it is adept at
THE STANDARD, from page 1 everything better than how we found it,” Bryan said. “Those streets are going to look like a silk purse. That place around The Standard is going to look like it is a part of The Standard.” Building an apartment complex in a residential area is tough, and this project is no exception. A small radius and sporadic rain makes construction somewhat more difficult than normal projects, Bryan said. “We want very much to keep our men on our property, but the surrounding area is a small block,” she said. “It’s so hard with tractors and equipment to keep everything in the middle.” Despite the difficult nature of construction in the small location, the project is scheduled to be completed before its fall semester end date. Bryan said she is confident that The Standard will be a complex students find to be an increase in quality to the area, and she hopes the new community that lives there will be happy The Standard is there.
bouncing back after losses, notching a 10-0 record with a more than nine-run clip in games following defeats. “We can’t really look into the future,” said shortstop Alex Bregman. “We just need to worry about winning one game. Tomorrow, we got the best pitcher in the country throwing for us, we feel like.” Freshman ace Alex Lange will get the ball for the Tigers as he tries to remain unbeaten on the year, but he will face an equally desperate but possibly deflated Fullerton team. With junior right-handed starter Thomas Eshelman dealing, the Titans took a 3-0 lead into bottom of sixth of its Sunday night game with Vanderbilt. But with a man on third base and two outs, the game was stopped and then postponed due inclement weather. Once the game restarted at 2:03 p.m., after another delay, Eshelman was replaced by righthanded pitcher Chad Hockin and
The Daily Reveille the momentum of the game turned in the Commodores’ favor. Vandy grabbed a run in the sixth and scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth, including a walk-off, two run blast to win the game. It was two very different losses, but both LSU and Fullerton were left with the same feeling following their defeats — disappointment. Tomorrow’s game may come down which team can get over it’s previous performance faster. “I don’t look at it as a chance to save the season,” Lange said. “I just look at it as one game at a time and try to give my team a chance to play the next game. Our season has been fantastic. It shouldn’t be defined by how we played yesterday, and I don’t think it will be defined by how we played yesterday. We just have to come out tomorrow, really focus in and play solid baseball.” You can reach James Bewers on Twitter @JamesBewers_TDR.

MELINDA DESLATTE / The Associated Press
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Jack Donhaue, R-Mandeville, takes questions about next year’s $24 billion budget proposal from Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, DNew Orleans, on June 8 in Baton Rouge.
REPORT CARD, from page 1 SAVE Act as a refusal to give in to Jindal’s tax pledge. “If we judged legislators based on their willingness to override a Jindal veto and truly prioritize higher education, that would be of greater service to the families who will have to pay almost double tuition next year, compared to eight years ago,” Edwards said via email. “I was one of those people who was ready to do the right thing. I only wish more of my colleagues would have joined me.” SG President Andrew Mahtook said his office based the grades on the legislation SG supported and used an objective system applied to all legislators. “If someone calls and says, ‘This is an outrage. I am a supporter of higher education,’ we’re just going to say to look at the numbers,” Mahtook said. “A lot of the bills are revenue raising bills that go toward funding higher education. It’s very easy
to get a low score if you voted down on all of those. Without those bills, we don’t get funded.” The SG executive branch calculated the grades by each legislator’s votes on bills associated with funding higher education and avoiding budget cuts. “We decided our three main goals we wanted to see this session were a short term fix to the current budget deficit, long term revenue raising measures for higher education and autonomies closer to the students,” Mahtook said. SG Chief Adviser Zack Faircloth and Mahtook ranked 30 bills, associating them with a point system. The higher the rank, the more the bill was worth in the grading process. Mahtook plans to enhance SG’s political efforts by creating a full-time student lobbying commission in charge of producing future legislative report cards and act as an opportunity for political science and political communication students to put their studies to practice.

Following the championship meet, Shaver stressed the importance of his underclassmen continuing to improve over the offseason in preparation for the 2016 indoor and outdoor seasons. “Our freshman and sophomore classes have progressed well in this season,” Shaver said. “Now that they’ve got that experience behind them, it’s important that they really focus themselves over the summer and next fall to take a big step forward when we come back in 2016.” You can reach Jack Woods on Twitter @Jack_TDR.

There’s actually been research on the subject, and some say a hitter’s brain plays a part in “mirroring” the actions of the hitter before him. Ultimately, though, each at-bat is independent, and numerous factors play into whether or not a player is successful at the dish. Not to mention, at least one or two players have to start the hitting in order for it to become contagious. While it’s sometimes annoying to hear, I still find myself using it every now and then. If you ever played baseball, a lot of things in between the white lines best go unexplained. And if there’s one team capable of finding some hitting magic that becomes contagious, I’d like to think it would be this year’s LSU baseball team. Throughout this season, it felt easier to nitpick LSU’s flaws than appreciate how well they have played. Nevermind the fact that the Tigers ended the regular season with single-digit losses and lost only one series all year. Nevermind the fact that they had the lowest ERA and the highest batting average in the SEC, which also happen to be in the top 10 in the nation. Critical questions were still asked in the regular season. Who will be the third starter in the postseason? Is the bullpen good enough? Can any reliever be trusted to be the closer? Then, in the postseason, the question changed. Where did the offense go? No player or coach on the team

LSU senior catcher Kade Scivicque (22) reacts after reaching first base during the Tigers’ 10-3 loss against TCU Sunday in the NCAA Men’s College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb. will be able to give you a solid reason behind the vanishing bats. As coach Paul Mainieri points out, the pitching is significantly better in the postseason, which is undeniably true. But even against good pitching in SEC series, the Tigers have had success a large portion of the time. Some fans have said it has been a lack of patience at the plate. But the team lives by aggressiveness, so that probably won’t change as long as the Tigers are in the College World Series. So, will LSU rediscover its once-potent form to survive against Cal State-Fullerton and beyond? It’s baseball — anything can happen (there goes another dumb cliché). But, honestly, if the offense
resurrected itself in a big way tomorrow, it wouldn’t surprise me. It also wouldn’t surprise me if it struggled again but rode freshman ace Alex Lange to victory. Eventually, though, LSU will need that moment at the plate to change the outcome of the game. It came in Game 2 of the Super Regional through Kade Scivicque’s solo blast in the top of the seventh. It might be as a simple two-out double in a long at-bat tomorrow. But you usually can tell when the momentum changes on offense. After all, it’s so noticeable it’s contagious.
