Tenured professor’s employment terminated from University BY DAVID LAPLANTE dlaplante@lsureveille.com The LSU System Board of Supervisors meeting in Alexandria on June 19 marked the end of elementary education associate professor Teresa Buchanan’s 20-year career teaching at the University. The Board upheld a decision by President F. King Alexander to terminate her employment on charges that she sexually harassed students and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Since she came to the
University in 1995, Buchanan instruction.

n September 2013, University alumnus Joel Tubre had an epiphany — what if he could take his childhood fascination of mazes and turn it into a mobile multiplayer game? Nearly two years later, Tubre and a team of designers, programmers and artists at Iron 27 Inc., a mobile game development company based in Baton Rouge, are in the final stages of bringing that idea to life in the multiplayer dungeon-crawler, “Heroes of Shadow Guard.” The beta version of the game is expected to be released within the next two months. “Heroes of Shadow Guard” features a turn-based RPG style which can be played in two modes: multiplayer and campaign. In multiplayer mode, players are invited to design their own labyrinths and battle monsters as they raid the labyrinths of opposing players in first person view. In campaign mode, players are introduced to a world of queens, heroes, villains and quests. “There are games out there that have been around, like ‘Dungeon Keeper’ and some other ones where you create your own dungeon,” Tubre said. “But nothing where you can make your own dungeon and someone else would attempt to conquer it.” While similar formats can be found in PC and console games, it is something Tubre said he considers to be new to mobile gaming. The opportunity for innovation and the growing popularity of mobile is the reason why “Heroes of Shadow Guard”

said she was not notified of any complaints until the time of the hearing and therefore did not have a chance to remedy the issues students had with her. Because Buchanan was tenured, her dismissal required a hearing in front of a panel of five administrators, which according to Buchanan, heard 11 hours of testimony. Many colleagues and former students voiced their support of Buchanan to the committee which, she said, “ruled there were no grounds

UREC offers students summer adventure
BY DAVID LAPLANTE dlaplante@lsureveille.com The UREC may be known for its on-campus facilities and exercise classes, but it also houses programs off campus year round. The UREC Adventure Education program, a division that plans off-campus and out-of-state trips for students, embodies the passion of the organization and the people whom it comprises. The UREC Adventure Education program planned four trips this summer, including overnight paddle-boarding and kayaking trips. “Bike the Tammany Trace” is the program’s upcoming event, and students have until July 8 to register. The overall ride, which will rack up about 20 miles on those bike tires, will begin in Mandeville and end in Abita Springs with a lunch. The cost of summer trips range from $15 to $125 and include group transportation and campground fees on overnight expeditions. These recreational trips

Scene after scene appeared surreal and rolled from one to another clearly. Director David Gordon Green brought everything to the table and those efforts continuously draw viewers in. The visual effects could be over the top for some, but captured the mindset of the main character and brought depth that added to Pacino’s work.

ness in control. Then Sadness and Joy have to race against the clock to get back to headquarters before Riley has a mental breakdown, leaving her personality lost forever. Without the core memories, everything that makes Riley different will be lost forever. “Inside Out” is a great blend of humor and seriousness. The movie does a great job in teaching kids that sometimes being sad is the only way to be happy again. It also teaches them to never let anger, fear and disgust run your emotions. The moral, mixed with humor and puns, i.e. the train of thought being a train that delivers random messages, are going to make “Inside Out” yet another classic Pixar film.

“Inside Out” tells the previously untold story of all of the emotions in your head. According to Pixar, they have a control center surrounded by memory banks, long term memory, and islands that make up your personality. The movie focuses on one 11-year-old girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). Up until the time sheturned 11 all of her memories were happy. Joy (Amy Poehler) was in charge of keeping Riley happy since birth, and she took great pride in her job. One day, seemingly out of nowhere, the family packs up their things and moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. Joy starts to lose control of Riley’s happy spirit as Sadness (Phyllis Smith) starts to touch Riley’s core memory spheres and add sadness to the events. Joy believes that now is especially the time to make sure Riley stays happy after leaving her friends and childhood home behind. When all of the core memories get knocked out of the core memory bank, Sadness and Joy get sucked out of headquarters and out into the rest of Riley’s brain, leaving Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Fear (Bill Hader) in charge of Riley. Things start going south quickly as Riley cannot function without Joy or Sad-

Former LSU pitcher Aaron Nola reflects on college career, adjusting to professional league BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com Editor’s Note: This is the second part of a four-part series with former LSU players in professional sports. ALLENTOWN, Penn. — There are no and’s, if’s or but’s about former LSU pitcher Aaron Nola. From the moment he first stepped onto the mound at Alex Box Stadium in 2012, Nola had something different — a presence and a promise of greatness to come. During his three seasons as a Tiger, Nola didn’t disappoint. He dominated by becoming the first player to be named Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year twice and earning the College Baseball Foundation’s National Pitcher of the Year title in 2014. Just one year after being drafted seventh overall by the Phila-
delphia Phillies in the 2014 MLB Draft, Nola has settled into the rhythm of the minor league as he prepares to the make the leap into the majors. “I’m blessed to get the opportunity to come out every day and play and enjoy the days that I have in baseball,” Nola said. “It’s been really fun for me. It’s a job. It’s something to go out there and do everyday. It’s something I try to take advantage of every single day.” The first adjustment Nola faced was the crowd in the minor leagues, or more accurately the lack thereof. An average of 10,880 fans packed the Box for each LSU home game during Nola’s last season, creating an electric atmosphere. “It’s pretty special when you get to step into that ballpark,” Nola said. “The fans are so close to you, so on top of you on the field. They’re so passionate and so into the game.”
Looking back on his time at LSU, Nola said the fans made the experience of playing at Alex Box special for the Tigers by bringing out the best in each of them. After three years of playing for more than 9,000 fans per game, Nola had to adapt to the sight of far more empty seats than filled ones in his debut for the Phillies’ Advanced Single A affiliate, the Clearwater Threshers. “It was different at first,” Nola said. “We attract a lot of fans over at Alex Box. Going to the Florida State League, we don’t get many fans, but the fields are really nice.” Although the attendance was a shock at first, as Nola scaled the minor-league ladder fans kept pouring in to watch the Baton Rouge native. After just seven appearances with the Threshers, Nola was called up to the Phillies’ Double A affiliate, the Reading Fightin Phils. In his five starts for Reading in 2014, Nola posted a perfect
2-0 record while earning a 2.63 ERA in 24 innings pitched. “It was going by quick last year, but it’s settled down this year,” Nola said. “I started out a new season, my first full season. It’s gone smoothly. It’s gone really well. I’ve met some good guys along the way, and it’s been pretty fun.” Nola’s increased comfort level signaled a return of his trademark dominance on the mound in 2015. Despite allowing five walks in five starts in 2014, Nola gave away only nine free passes in 12 starts in 2015 while notching 59 strikeouts and recording a 1.88 ERA in 76 and 2/3 innings with the Fightin’ Phils. Nola credits his success to his work on his changeup in the offseason and increased time spent in the film room. “Studying the hitters and learning that part of the game with my catcher I’ve improved since last year,” Nola said. “I’ve
improved on [my changeup] more. I’ve worked on it a lot this offseason. I feel like those are the two biggest things that have improved on since last year.” On June 14, Nola’s work paid off when he was called up to the Phillies’ Triple A affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. In his IronPigs’ debut on June 18, Nola threw five scoreless innings while tallying seven strikeouts and giving up only one walk against the Buffalo Bisons, a Triple A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. As Nola adjusts to the next stage in his journey to the majors, one thing is certain – this Baton Rouge native will never forget his Alex Box roots. “It was amazing,” Nola said. “It was a good three years over there. Anybody you ask will say they love playing over there.” You can reach Morgan Prewitt on Twitter @kmprewitt_TDR.
USWNT yet to impress or reach potential at Women’s World Cup INTO THE WOODS JACK WOODS Sports Writer The United States Women’s National Team keeps getting results. The U.S. won its first game of the Women’s World Cup knockout stage last Tuesday and advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Colombia, 2-0. In fact, the U.S. has won all of its games but one in Canada — a frustrating 0-0 draw against Sweden. But it’s hard to be blown away by any of the team’s performances to date. Other elite teams, such as France and Germany, have both come away with statement wins in the early part of the competition, something the U.S. has yet to do. The top-ranked Germans put four goals by Sweden in a comfortable 4-1 win in their Round of 16 match, but the U.S. simply
could not break down the Swedish defense in the group stage. Since suffering a shocking 2-0 defeat to Colombia, France completely outclassed Mexico, 5-0, and always looked in control in a 3-0 win against South Korea to earn a spot against Germany in the quarterfinals. The U.S. will get the winner of France/Germany in the semifinals if it gets past China. China is by no means a pushover, and France or Germany present arguably the toughest challenges the U.S. could face in the competition. Although results are the only thing that count, you wonder how long any team can survive relying heavily on grit, especially when every team remaining is willing to scrap just as hard to move on. In other words, it’s time for the U.S. to put its quality on full display and assert its dominance. The players speak about improving each and every game. Now is the time to shift into the higher gear that only elite teams possess.
The U.S. not only has a chance to reach the semifinals with its game Friday, but it also has a chance to send a warning message to France or Germany with a dominant display. A U.S. side playing to its full potential is a scary prospect for any opposing team. But first the U.S. has to raise its game against China, and it must do so without two of its most creative players in midfielders, Megan Rapinoe and Lauren Holiday, who are suspended for yellow card accumulation. There are capable replacements on the bench who will not only have to step in but also step up. If the U.S. wins in impressive fashion without two highly influential members of its preferred XI, Germany or France will hardly be quaking in their boots, but you have to think one or two alarm bells will start to go off in the back of their minds. courtesy of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Students should openly discuss race relations THE DAILY REVEILLE EDITORIAL BOARD editor@lsureveille.com Let’s have a conversation about having conversations.

their beliefs in an effort to not offend anyone. What if someone unfriends us on Facebook? What if we lose Twitter followers? What if our views make us unpopular? As a news outlet, it’s easy for us to turn a blind eye to social commentary and report on facts only, hiding behind the shield of objectiveness. But we have to remember we’re students first, and it’s time for questions to start being asked and answered right here at LSU. It’s time to become a part of the conversation. As the flagship university of Louisiana, one would think more conversations about social issues would occur here. But as students grow more vocal on social media, the divide between University students on campus grows larger. In the past few days, we’ve received dozens of Tweets concerning the removal of the Confederate flag from tailgates and the Charleston shootings, with the common denominator being why we aren’t addressing these issues. All of these questions and notions are valid and allow us and other outlets on campus to begin thinking about this University and the race relations it houses. Eleven percent of the University’s enrollment is African-American. And when we ignore questions that pertain to 11 percent of the University’s demographic, we do a disservice not only to them but to everyone else. The University of Florida has the Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations where discussions of race issues are encouraged. The center also hosts workshops on race-related material and has a plethora of current and historical race-related content. The University of Mississippi has The Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement to help students understand their own identity and the culture and heritage of those around them. And the list goes on. LSU has the Office of Diversity, but much of its work centers around recruitment and pointing students toward multicultural organizations. Ignoring issues only perpetuates the notion of “everything’s OK if we act like it doesn’t exist.” If we unfriend and block every person on social media who disagrees with our opinions, we lose that chance to start conversation and understand how our diverse backgrounds have brought us to our beliefs today. If we are to pride ourselves on being a diverse demographic, we should be able to have these difficult conversations and challenge each other’s views. It would be simple to say the fallout of the Emanuel AME Church shooting has given America an “Us vs. Them” mentality, but it’s more than that. The reason we should hold these conversations is to negate the feeling that there ever should be an “us” and a “them.” Most can agree that what Dylann Roof did was a hate crime if not an act of terrorism. However, now is the time to discuss the aftermath of the shooting and its effect on us — as individuals and as a campus as a whole. There is no such thing as “this doesn’t concern me.” The history of America, the safety of its people and its future concern all of us. We have nothing to lose from asking each other tough questions, but we do have everything to gain. New un-
derstanding creates a new perspective, and a new perspective can bring a small dose of peace to our campus. This is an opportunity that can not go to waste. We must start taking part in the conversation in a positive manner. Understanding is the first step to creating a safer and more welcoming campus for all students. We need to start the conversation and keep it going for future University students.

Mike Williams, adjutant for the Sons of Confederate Veterans in the state of Alabama, carries a Confederate flag past the Confederate Memorial on the state Capitol grounds Wednesday in Montgomery, Alabama, after four flags were removed from the memorial.
Taking a Stand Confederate flag should be removed
THE KATZ MEOW RILEY KATZ Writer It only took 150 years since the Civil War ended and nine innocent people losing their lives in a church shooting for South Carolina to consider taking the Confederate flag down. As of Wednesday, the House of Representatives in South Carolina agreed to meet to take a vote, but as of now, no vote has been taken. Because the flag is so controversial, the House may have an issue reaching the twothirds majority it needs to take it down. While the decision to remove the flag comes at a good time, I can only question why the flag is still flying in the first place. I understand the argument about the history behind the flag, and the stars and bars were not always supposed to be the symbol for racism. The meanings behind symbols change, though. The Civil War started over the North taking away the South’s ability to own slaves, among
other issues. The support for slavery was so strong in the South that states seceded from the Union in the North to become the Confederacy in order to continue the slave trade. For all we know, had the South won, we still might be a slave-holding country. The Confederacy wanted slavery so much, to save it they literally started a war with half the country made up of the same people they fought side by side with less than 100 years prior to gain independence. And they used the current Confederate flag we know today as their representative symbol. It was then that the flag ceased to represent the South but became the symbol for the proslavery movement. Even after the war was over, white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, started using the flag to instill violence and fear, a practice still in place today as we saw with Dylann Roof, the young man who killed nine churchgoers in Charleston. And while states claimed they flew the flag in order to commemorate the lives lost in the war, the flag still flies today, even with
the stigma of hate that it now represents attached to it. The way I see the flag has nothing to do with politics. The flag in my eyes comes down to meaning. It became the representation of racism, and 150 years after the Civil War, the stigma is still very real. While it does represent pride in the South, the overwhelming meaning that it came to be known for is not worth the history of the flag. That is what the American flag is for — to represent a unified nation, not the Union and the Confederacy. Why the flag flies next to state Capitol building in any active American state boggles my mind. South Carolina is living in the past, and the government’s support for the flag over the past century proves that. South Carolina is like your racist grandpa in a way — it ceases to get with the times, no matter how many people it offends by flying that Confederate flag over its house.

Thursday, June 25, 2015 UREC, from page 1 are developed by and for students, assistant director Riley Kurtts said. “We explore our backyard but also get out to explore the rest of the coastal area,” he said. The trips are well attended even though summer can be hard to gauge, Kurtts said, but he is currently planning big trips for the fall and spring semesters. Kurtts expressed the importance of student input in choosing the locations and directions of Adventure Education journeys. “We want to do what people want to do,” he said, noting that the University develops itineraries from students’ suggestions and ideas from the UREC student staff. The department welcomes input for new trips and encourages students’ enthusiasm for outdoor activities. Many of the trips planned in the past have been inspired by trends the UREC sees college students participate in like paddle boarding or kayaking, and the UREC staff wants students to get involved in the planning process, Kurtts said. Ideal for students, most trips are geared toward beginner and intermediate skill levels, according to the UREC’s website, so almost anyone is able to participate. The UREC plans to unveil longer overnight trips over breaks and intersession for the fall and spring semesters, but it is not too late to get involved or suggest ideas for exciting trips. Kurtts said he expects the new school year to be a rousing time for the Adventure Education program, so students should keep up with new trips to be posted on the UREC’s website in August.
PROFESSOR, from page 1 for dismissal.” Buchanan said Alexander overruled the committee’s decision, a move that breaks with University code and diminishes the basic value of tenure. “This sets a precedent that is just appalling,” Buchanan said in an interview, “Tenure does not mean anything to LSU.” University administrators have declined to comment on the case. University Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard cited inability to “comment on personnel matters or possible litigation.” Thomas Skinner, general counsel to the Board of Supervisors, confirmed that Buchanan attended and spoke at the Board’s meeting Friday, but he added that commenting on the case is particularly awkward because Buchanan displayed her intention to bring the University to court if it upheld her dismissal. Buchanan said she “absolutely intendeds … to sue” the University for what she believes is wrongful termination and a violation of her First Amendment right to free speech.

Alumnus to present on Scientific Storytelling BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com Scientific Storytelling is a method of taking all of the complex information you have about a subject and turning it into a simple, easy to understand concept by anyone, from a professor to your grandmother. While LUNA Rafael Luna, an instructor at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and Chief Executive Officer for Luna Scientific Storytelling LLC , did not create the method of storytelling, he hopes to explain in an accessible way how students and scientists can incorporate the idea into their works. Luna aims to make telling stories in the scientific field easier in his new book “The Art of Scientific Storytelling.” As a University alumnus with a Ph.D. in biological sciences, with a concentration in microbiology, Luna is coming to campus to explain the theory behind Scientific Storytelling. “It takes sophisticated data and makes it simple to scientists in your field and also the public,” Luna said. Before the method of storytelling was conceived, Luna hit a speed bump after having a paper he worked on for two years rejected. After working with major professors in different interdisciplinaries and speaking entirely different languages and styles,
the paper failed to flow and get a common theme across. After the rejection, Luna decided to start a creative writing class to become a writer, something he wanted to do from the time he was young. After he received a critique on his first story from his professor, he started to notice common issues between his story and the report he wrote. “When I went back and really thought about it, I saw that the story was not there,” Luna said. “I realized I had three stories in one.” Upon realizing the error, Luna set forth to fix the paper. After making tweaks and establishing a goal, the paper began to work. “It wasn’t Greek anymore. For the first time it started to make sense,” Luna said. The theory behind Scientific Storytelling comes from the roots of where Luna came from and grew up. Originally Luna’s love was for humanities, such as English. As the first person in his family to go to college, scholarship opportunities were limited to students majoring in science classes; therefore, Luna decided to choose a chemistry major. It was not until taking a biology class that the information began to click, and said he fell in love with the material. He then switched his major after finding great success with the information. Luna will be presenting to the public Thursday at 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex. In addition, some select graduate students will partake in a hands-on workshop with Luna to work the method into their writing and research.

page 7 IRON 27, from page 1 is a game designed to be enjoyed primarily by iOS and Android users. “There have been some shifting trends since we’ve been working on the game, but mobile is still a big deal,” Tubre said. “That’s why I wanted to pursue it.” Tubre founded Iron 27 for “Heroes of Shadow Guard” specifically. He and design lead Taylor Tatum had the idea for the kind of game they wanted to create, as well as the platform they wanted it to be played on. But while figuring out the specifics, “Heroes of Shadow Guard” became a much bigger project than they had originally planned. “We figured out fairly early on that we would need a team of people to do it,” Tubre said. “As soon as it came to that point, we decided to go for it.” Currently, the Iron 27 team is made up of eight people, most of whom are affiliated with the University, with set skills ranging from programming to digital
design. Many of the team members were recruited through recommendations when the company reached out to University professors. With plans to open up an office in Hammond, the company hopes to pull even more skilled individuals from the University’s recently added digital media masters program, Tubre said. “The people who are going to make the best games are gonna have the people who can make the artwork and write the code the most efficiently,” Tubre said. “So we’re just constantly on the look for new talent.” The Iron 27 team has worked over a span of nearly twenty months to bring an idea to reality, and they’re still going. Mockups are still being put together by the digital artists, and gameplay is still being worked out by programmers. Using high-tech software and hardware, “Heroes of Shadow Guard” is still being built from the ground up. Soon it will be released and Tubre will find the exit to his greatest maze.
