The University will bring three fraternities and sororities to campus in coming years. In fall 2014, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council voted to open their doors for expansion. The councils voted to advertise their plans for expansion and began to accept applications from organizations interested in starting a new chapter, known as “colonizing.” Both councils created their own committees, comprised of alumni and students, to evaluate the applying organizations. Both councils invited three organizations to present themselves to the committee and Greek Life on campus.

Three freshmen – Antonio Blakeney, Brandon Sampson and Ben Simmons, who are known by their self-proclaimed “Killer B’s” moniker – are looking to make the LSU basketball team a Southeastern Conference contender and national force to be reckoned with.

RESEARCH
LSU, NASA renew partnership BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com LSU and NASA renewed their manufacturing partnership in the National Center for Advanced Manufacturing on June 16. Joining all other universities in Louisiana, LSU uses the resources at NCAM to conduct further research in lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber. Every university in the state collectively works with a $600,000 budget provided by NASA in exchange for the research. “NASA gives us the budget in order to promote
collaboration between the universities in the state of Louisiana toward this end goal of making the state the premier research center for lightweight materials,” Rick Koubek, dean of the College of Engineering, said. “These materials are immediately applicable to different projects.” One example of materials being used is the construction of the Space Launch System, the newest spaceship designed to carry astronauts into deep space. The spacecraft’s main goal is to be the first ship to bring a manned mission of astronauts to Mars. Before the mission, however, there is a
decade’s worth of test launches scheduled before astronauts are allowed in space. “Mars is the main goal. The first thing they’ll do is go to some asteroids,” Koubek said. “It will be far enough into the future that students in elementary school now will be the engineers for the Mars mission. ” According to Koubek, NASA encourages students of all ages to get involved with the programs that NASA and LSU offer. At the most recent Space Day, put on by the College of Engineering on March 28, 2014, eighth graders competed to

‘Ted 2’ hits theaters, garners mixed reviews Movie disappoints fans of original THE KATZ MEOW RILEY KATZ Writer Fans of the first film will be upset to know that the sequel to “Ted” does not hold up to the original. In the movie, the morally questionable bear Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) is back. This time he gets married to his girlfriend from the first film, Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth). After a rocky first year of marriage, the couple decides to fix every problem they have by having a child. As Ted is a stuffed animal, they have to look for alternative means of having a child. After attempting to adopt a child, Ted’s right as a human is questioned. Life spirals out of control for him, and he winds up having to sue for his right as a person over being property. While there are a few
Film stays current, meets comedic goal
slightly funny parts in the film, not a single one had me laughing out loud. The comedy was bland, and jokes were beat into the ground on more than one occasion. The issue with the movie is that the plot is just like Ted: all fluff. Instead of the trial of Ted’s humanity being the center point of the film, the awful villain Donny (Giovanni Ribisi) comes back in yet another attempt to steal Ted. There also were too many musical/dance numbers that just do not fit into the movie. I last counted three different numbers and then a fourth if you count the one in the courthouse from the trailer. Do yourself a favor and do not go see this movie. If anything, wait for the Redbox release. That way you only spend a dollar, and the snacks are much cheaper.
THREAUXDOWN ZOE GEAUTHREAUX Writer, Photographer There have been a lot of negative reviews floating around following the release of Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted 2.” As it is the sequel to its popular predecessor, “Ted,” there were high expectations for the stonerfriendly motion-picture. In the movie, the story of thunder buddies John, played by Mark Wahlberg, and his living teddy bear best friend Ted, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, continues as Ted and his blonde bombshell wife try to save their marriage by adopting a child. During the process, Ted is unable to adopt when it is revealed that the law considers him to be property, not a person. Thus, leading up to the ultimate question of the movie — what defines a person as a person? Relevantly, in the age of hu-

manoid-related films like “Ex Machina,” “Ted 2” takes its own approach on the topic through the stuffed bear. With meaningful speeches by lawyers Samantha, played by Amanda Seyfried, and Patrick Meighan, played by Morgan Freeman, it makes the debate feel very real for a lighthearted comedy. The film also does well with keeping its jokes current. Like, really current. But that’s no surprise considering the format of MacFarlane’s other baby, the hit animated TV show “Family Guy.” So to the critics of “Ted 2,” I have my own question: What exactly were you expecting? Sure,“Ted 2” doesn’t really come close to being a movie worth winning any awards, but neither did “Ted.” It’s a comedy about a marijuana-loving talking bear. As far as I’m concerned, the movie achieved what it was set out to do — crack a few jokes.

HEART OVER HEIGHT Former guard Temeka Johnson makes impact on and off court BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com Editor’s Note: This is the final part in a four-part series on LSU athletes in professional sports. Washington, D.C. — At 5 foot 3 inches tall, former University guard Temeka Johnson isn’t in any way a typical basketball player. But ever since the late Sue Gunter recruited her to become a Lady Tiger in 2001, Johnson has made a career of proving that it is her heart, not her height, that matters. From winning the Lieberman Award for the nation’s top point guard in collegiate women’s basketball in 2005 to helping the Phoenix Mercury win the 2009 WNBA title, Johnson’s passionate play has fueled her rise to the top of the game. With her trophy case now full of accolades, when Johnson speaks people listen, especially LSU coach Nikki Caldwell and the current Lady Tigers. “You can see when she comes into a room that she has a presence,” Caldwell said. “Although she is not the tallest player that has ever come through LSU, she has, if not one of the biggest voices, the biggest heart and one of the biggest impacts.” From the first moment she stepped foot onto the hardwood at the PMAC, Johnson brought speed and a knack to distribute the ball to the Lady Tigers. The New Orleans native smashed the Lady Tigers’ career
assists record set by Pokey Chatman (1987-1991) with 945 assists during her LSU career (20012005), averaging 7.3 dishes per game. Johnson tallied a LSU single-season record of 289 assists in the 2003-04 season alone. Along with setting the singlegame assist record with 17, she became the Southeastern Conference’s all-time career assist leader in 2005. Although she is known for creating opportunities for others, Johnson made plenty of plays herself as the only Lady Tiger to tally at least 1,000 points, 500 assists and 500 rebounds in her career. In 2004 and 2005, she led LSU to back-to-back Final Four appearances under Gunter’s successor, Chatman. Looking back at her LSU career, Johnson said she appreciated the opportunity to play for Gunter and a staff that pushed her to excel. “They saw something in you that you didn’t even see in yourself,” Johnson said. “[Gunter] gave me an opportunity to prove that I can play as small as I am. In my mind, I never even considered my height, and in hers, she never even thought about it as well. It was mind over matter, and you can’t teach heart.” Although her LSU career was defined by consistency with 127 consecutive starts at point guard, Johnson’s professional career has been marked instead by her ability to adapt after playing for five different teams during her decade in the WNBA. Johnson started her WNBA career right where her LSU career left off by becoming the 2005 WNBA Rookie of the Year after being drafted sixth overall by the
Washington Mystics. The rookie averaged 9.3 points, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting a career-high 45.8 percent from the floor and starting all 34 games for the Mystics. Even though her numbers declined during the next three seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks, Johnson returned to her Rookieof-the-Year form during the Mercury’s 2009 title run, averaging 9.6 points and 4.6 assists per game while starting all 34 games. Johnson said she has become a well-rounded player rather than a specialist in any one area because she had been asked to play such different roles in each situation. During this past offseason, she decided to spend some time around LSU’s program again while she rested and let her body recover. When given the chance to speak to the current Lady Tigers, Johnson’s message was simple and honest. “I was truthful to them [and said,] ‘Listen, this isn’t the will of the world. There is more to this game than what you see and you think it is,’” Johnson said. “I just talked to them about appreciating the people that paved the way and [about] respecting the game.” For Caldwell, the opportunity to have a player of Johnson’s caliber willing to come back to be around the program “means so much more than you can really put into words.” “Temeka is not only an outstanding basketball player, but she’s an outstanding person,” Caldwell said. “She speaks in a way to this generation, in particular to our kids, our team, in a way that they understand. They grasp what it really means to be a Lady Tiger.”
The United States Women’s National Soccer Team lucked out on Tuesday night in the World Cup Semifinal against Germany. Two critical decisions faced the Romanian referee, Teodora Albon, and they both went in favor of the U.S., albeit incorrectly. In the 59th minute of the match, U.S. center back Julie Johnston pulled down a German player likely to score within the penalty area. Johnston denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity and should have been shown a red card and sent off the field. In determining whether a foul denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity, the referee must determine whether the player fouled had a reasonable distance to goal to score, a positive direction toward goal, a lack of defenders around her and control of the ball. At this level of play, all requirements were met. However, the Romanian official only cautioned the player, and German forward Celia Sasic missed the penalty kick, keeping the game tied. The soccer gods saved Johnston and the U.S. from a momentum change that could have brought on an alternative and unwanted result. Luck found the U.S. one more time in the 67th minute when German defender Annike Krahn fouled U.S. forward Alex Morgan outside the penalty area. As Morgan fell deep into the penalty area after the foul, the referee whistled the foul and pointed to the penalty spot. Her assistant referee would have been the only referee crewmember to correct Albon’s decision to go with a penalty kick, but the help never came. U.S. captain Carli Lloyd took the spot kick and hammered the ball into the back of the net. One
to zero. Fifteen minutes later, Lloyd entered the German penalty area with the ball at her feet, looked right and crossed it in to Kelley O’Hara for the game winning goal. With that, Germany was defeated. Overall, the U.S. looked better throughout the 90-minute match with five shots on goal compared to Germany’s one. Lloyd’s squad withstood intense pressure from the German side, keeping the opponent’s stat attacker, Sasic, at bay. Based on the U.S.’s previous performances, many critics sided with Germany in game predictions. With the exception of Tuesday’s game, the U.S. faced few opponents that offered an exceptional challenge. The World Cup final is this Sunday, and U.S. Coach Jill Ellis must decide whether she will use veteran Abby Wambach in the case of a tie late in the second half of the final. Ellis subbed Rapinoe out for Wambach late in the second half against Germany with the score one to zero, reminding me of the decision to sub Rapinoe out in the 2011 World Cup final. Rapinoe is great at the spot kick, and replacing her with Wambach was a risky maneuver if Germany equalized and brought the match to extra time and then kicks from the mark, as it was the incorrect decision in 2011. Wambach missed the spot kick when the U.S. was awarded a penalty kick in the knock out round against Colombia. Rapinoe is a better choice to keep on the field in a level match, and Wambach is simply a risky choice due to her physical conditioning. World Cup fans saw the best game in the tournament a game early. The final won’t compare to the U.S. vs. Germany matchup, and if Ellis’ squad comes out and puts goals in the back of the net early, the U.S. should win the final without much difficulty.

MADE GRØCERIES Hip-hop trio makes its mark on Baton Rouge music scene BY JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ jfernández@lsureveille.com Before the members of hip-hop collective Made Grøceries took the stage at the Build The Fire event Tuesday night, they relaxed inside “The Shop,” a place that serves as headquarters and workspace for the artists that comprise Small World International, a local art collective. The trio, which goes exclusively by their artist names, sits in the middle of a small office belonging to its leader, University alumna and former women’s basketball manager Ebonie Mathews. Mathews plays a big part in Made Grøceries — she’s not only the group’s manager, but she also plays the role of big sister, helping the members maintain the goals they set. “She is like Master Splinter so to speak to our Ninja Turtles. She keeps us grounded,”
Mauley Sincyr, a member of the trio, said. The idea for Made Grøceries came from Mauley Sincyr and the members’ need to express ideas and a certain way of living. The name of the collective happened when the three members were walking down the street brainstorming for ideas. Mauley Sincyr suddenly stopped and looked at a sign that said “Groceries.” For the trio, comprised of Mauley Sincyr, LandLord and University graphic design junior OeauxNeal, the name “Made Grøceries” fit the mold. The group thought that, when shopping, people need many types of individual items that later will come together to make one meal. “It’s a part of our everyday life in New Orleans, something that is everywhere across the city,” OeauxNeal said. “It’s because it is a vital part of our life, not only in the south but everywhere across the nation. You need grocer-
ies to live [and] sustain life and to survive.” The members of Made Grøceries met each other at Edna Karr High School. OeauxNeal, and Mauley Sincyr wrote the first three songs and invited LandLord to put everything together. They were impressed with the outcome and had enough chemistry to finish the album, which was released on May 15, as a collective. Made Grøceries chose its album drop date because it’s the same day it lost a close friend who also went to the members’ high school, when Donald Isadore “Beezle” Barge Jr. died in New Orleans. “We did it in tribute to him, to honor his name,” Mauley Sincyr said. For the most part, Made Grøceries sings about realistic topics, and the group tries to bring a new perspective to many matters.

Louisiana native reflects on her experience with ‘The Voice’ BY ZOE GEAUTHREAUX zgeauthreaux@lsureveille.com With thousands of viewers tuned in and her family watching backstage, Abbeville, Louisiana, native Koryn Hawthorne, 17, took the stage during a blind audition on the eighth season of NBC’s reality TV singing competition, “The Voice.” Her powerful, souldriven performance of “My Kind of Love” caught the attention of celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams. It was then that the young singer began her transformation into a mature artist. Hawthorne described her time on the show as a lifechanging experience that helped her grow as both a person and an artist. Singer and actress Aguilera briefly coached Hawthorne on the performance side of
things — from working the stage to being ‘into it’. Though Aguilera’s coaching was taken with gratitude, it was Williams that really struck a chord. The artist reminded Hawthorne to look within herself and always sing what meant something to her. “He would say to me ‘Koryn, do you connect to this? Do you feel it,’” Hawthorne said. “Cause if I feel it, then America feels it.’” This confidence and sense of self came out during Hawthorne’s cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Make it Rain.” Though it was her favorite performance on the show, Hawthorne said she never expected it to be as much of a success as it was. Social media reacted with positive testaments and the studio version of the performance soared to the Top 10 on iTunes.
Despite the instant success Hawthorne has had during the months spent on the show, she, as Williams pointed out during her audition, carried herself with humility. She began singing and performing at the early age of 6. And, like millions of other Americans, she grew up watching popular talent competitions such as “American Idol” and “X Factor” with hopes of one-day competing. “I’ve always dreamed of being on a platform like that,” Hawthorne said. “So just from watching those shows and performing and my parents being real supportive of my talent and gifts — I would say that all helped me prepare ‘The Voice’.” The support of her parents was no surprise. Hawthorne’s

Rotolo’s Pizzeria
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop
Buffalo Wild Wings
Baton Rouge has plenty of options for pizza, so local places have to make an impression to garner attention. Rotolo’s has done just that with Calzone Day on Wednesdays. If you get to Rotolo’s too late on a Wednesday evening, you might be waiting for a seat because $5.99 calzones make sure the place is packed.
Fuzzy’s is good any day of the week, but stop by on a Tuesday evening for Taco Tuesday when all tacos are $0.50 cents off. With many of the basic tacos on the menu normally costing $1.99, the discount means the consumer can get four tacos for around $6.00. Oh, and Fuzzy’s serves breakfast tacos all day, so you can snag the potato, chorizo, egg and cheese taco at 8 p.m. if you want.
Buffalo Wild Wings offers traditional wings for $0.65 each on Tuesday. They’re consistent, and they go perfect with a big game on a big screen.
American Market Roul’s Deli Tucked away just outside LSU’s Northgate, Roul’s serves some of Baton Rouge’s best burgers. Monday and Wednesday provide the opportunity to grab a burger combo for $5.75. The juicy burgers and small restaurant feel make Roul’s a must-eat for students.
Smoothie King Smoothie King provides a healthy option for LSU students. Students can take advantage of $5 Friday and get a 32oz smoothie for a competitive price.
American Market looks like a standard convenience/liquor store, but it’s much more than that. American Market boasts a deli with a wide selection of meats that pumps out delicious sandwiches at a great price. The roughly footlong sandwiches can be paired with Zapp’s Spicy Cajun Crawtators and a fountain drink for $5.99. Few places boast the affordability of American Market, and places that compare in price will have a hard time comparing in quality.

Because everyone grew up together, their tastes are similar, and the artists they are influenced by range from Tupac Shakur, Biggie and Nas to Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Bow Wow. The message the trio likes to give its audience is to not be afraid to change or grow. “A lot of people wonder why artists change once they get older or why their sound changes,” OeauxNeal said. “Remember everybody grows. You got to be able to adapt, especially these days.” Each individual works in separate fields: OeauxNeal is a visual painter and illustrator; Mauley Sincyr skates and is looking into working on a children’s book with manager Mathews; and LandLord puts 100 percent of his focus in music. Despite all of its members being from New Orleans, Made Grøceries is stationed in Baton Rouge, where OeauxNeal
currently attends the University and Mauley Sincyr attended Southern University. “School brought me here, but music kept me here” said Mauley Sincyr. To stay current, Made Grøceries adapts its creativity with time. LandLord said it’s easy to stay fresh as long as one steers away from things that lead to a stale way of living. “It’s almost like second nature to stay fresh because we don’t want to fit in, we understand that as a human you are meant to be like a snowflake, everyone is different and most people just don’t get it,” Mauley Sincyr said. “Everything expires, everything parishes, but you don’t have to stay in a comfortable state.” The name of the album, “Infø Vol. 1,” stands for “ILL Nu Feel Cipher.” To LandLord, “ILL Nu Feel” is a way to expand to a new sound, something that hasn’t been heard before, and the “Cipher,” the character that takes the place of the “o” in “Groceries” in the

group’s name, is based of how people used to converse with each other and build knowledge through conversation. The lyrics of most of the songs come from personal experiences and the impact life has had in the members. Some of their songs, like “Abrakadabra,” play on the reminiscence of past times and the recollections on recent events but at the same time preaching about the present fight to reach longevity. OeauxNeal said the group is also working in different projects, and it has a blog, called “The Grøceries,” coming out soon. The group’s tape can be streamed for free through SoundCloud, and hard copies can be bought in places around town like Sneaker Closet and Rukus Board Shop. Made Grøceries is currently touring until the end of July, and its main focus is on local shows in Baton Rouge and New Orleans but also plan on traveling to Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Koryn Hawthorne earned the title of fouth-place finalist on season eight of NBC’s ‘The Voice.’ mother, Summers, stood alongside her daughter throughout the entire process — including the early mornings and late nights of practice. Her mom was her source of strength, according to Hawthorne. However, what the singer was not prepared for was the fan-base she had rallied from her hometown. When she returned to visit weeks after beginning her journey on the show, a crowd of enthusiastic fans greeted her. Hawthorne was presented with a key to the city by Abbeville Mayor Mark Piazza on May 6, as the day was declared “Koryn Hawthorne Day” by the state of Louisiana. “It was crazy because I really didn’t expect it,” Hawthorne said. “There was so much love and so much support.” That love felt from home is something that is reciprocated. With an appreciation for her home state, Hawthorne credits the range of genres she performs to the many musical backgrounds of Louisiana. She describes the music scene in her home state as a “big gumbo” made of jazz, R&B, soul, blues and pop. Hawthorne finished on “The Voice” as the season’s fourth place finalist. With the experience she gained from the show and a growing fan base, Hawthorne said she is looking to continue a career in music, no matter where it takes her. “I will definitely always come back home and visit because I cannot stay away,” she said. “But hopefully music keeps me traveling.”

page 8 GREEK, from page 1 Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta. The committees made their final recommendations to their respective councils in April 2015, and the final decisions were announced shortly thereafter. The Panhellenic Council chose to accept Alpha Delta Pi as the sole new sorority to join LSU in fall 2016. Panhellenic Director Alli Beth Blanchard said the reasoning behind the committee’s decision was “determining the best fit and who could be most successful at LSU.” “The extension committee saw their attention to detail, superior level of commitment in both personnel and resources, and the high expectations they have for their future members,” Blanchard said. Alpha Delta Pi, one of the first sororities created, left LSU in the ’80s because of low enrollment. “They really want to come
back to LSU. A lot of alumni are in the area and eager to get involved,” Blanchard said. The Interfraternity Council will welcome Beta Theta Pi in fall 2015 and Alpha Tau Omega in spring 2017. Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory said the reasoning behind separating the fraternities’ entrance to LSU “is so that they can be successful. “It’s very difficult. It confuses students if you have more than one group trying to start their organization, and they’re all competing for the same people. So it sets everybody else up for success, including the students.” Sigma Alpha Epsilon also will be returning in fall 2015 after a two year recession of University registration because of behavior that violated the University’s hazing policy. “They became an unregistered organization until 2015 and were eligible to come back January 2015,” Guillory said.
FRESHMEN, from page 1 2015-16 season. “It’s a lot different for us because we have me, Antonio and Brandon,” Simmons said. “So, we’re younger, but we don’t have a full team of freshmen. We have a lot of experienced guys, and they’re going to teach us a lot at the same time. I think we all just have to buy in and chip in, and we’ll be fine.” Simmons, the consensus No. 1 prospect in the country and 2015 Gatorade Player of the Year, is the headliner, who has accrued praise from national experts without ever playing a minute in college basketball. He’s been forced to live up to expectation since he was a sophomore in high school, moving from his hometown of Melbourne to play at prep-powerhouse Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida in 2013. Simmons, though, didn’t shrink to the attention, becoming one of the most dominant players in the country with a 28-point, 11-rebound clip in his senior year. Simmons doesn’t model his game after any particular professional player but mentions Lebron James, Scottie Pippen and Magic Johnson as players he has studied. Once Simmons committed to LSU, it was easy to see his Lebronlike effect on the LSU program, paving the way for Blakeney and Sampson to follow or stay in Baton Rouge. The signing of Simmons not only changed the outlook for the Tigers on the floor but spawned an LSU basketball marketing campaign, which he signed off on. Titled “25 is Coming” to signify his LSU jersey number, the LSU athletic department used Simmons’ arrival to promote season ticket
Thursday, July 2, 2015 sales on various platforms, which caused questions of whether the freshman was being exploited. But Simmons was grateful for the exposure. “I’m definitely comfortable with it,” Simmons said. “It’s a great opportunity for me. It’s rare for someone to have that. I’m just blessed to be the face of the basketball program this year. Not everyone gets that opportunity. A lot of people look at it as a negative thing, but, at that same time, I’m going to school for free. I’m on a scholarship. So, they don’t need to pay me anything.” Simmons may have been the biggest fish in the LSU recruiting haul, but Blakeney cemented the class as top tier. In fact, Blakeney, a Oak Ridge High School alumnus, was named Florida Mr. Basketball over Simmons this past season. Blakeney, though, will have stiff competition in the LSU backcourt, joining senior guards Keith Hornsby and Josh Gray along with Sampson, junior Tim Quarterman and sophomore Jalyn Patterson, who played with Simmons at Montverde. Despite the crowded position groups, Blakeney said he is looking forward to learning from the veteran Tigers. “The biggest thing for me is to learn from them,” Blakeney said. “Keith has hit a lot of big shots and does a great job of coming off screens. All of those guys do good things, and I want to learn as much as I can from all of them. I feel I can take something from all of their games and put it into mine.” Sampson may not get the attention Simmons and Blakeney get, but his signing pushed the group over the top. Sampson, the
No. 1 ranked player in Louisiana and former high school teammate of Martin, was initially committed to St. John’s but reopened his recruitment after former Red Storm coach Steve Lavin agreed to part ways with the program. With heavy recruitment from three California schools and Oklahoma State, Sampson decided to remain in Baton Rouge. “He’s one of those guys that’s less heralded, but he still had the ability that a lot of the other guys have,” said LSU coach Johnny Jones. “That’s what is exciting for me to see him be able to rise up and play well in the situation, which he is very capable of doing.” He, like Blakeney, will have to battle for playing time with the plethora of guards on the roster, but Sampson said he feels his greatest strength could be what he provides for his teammates. “I’m a great facilitator, and I can create shots for my teammates,” Sampson said. “I believe I can score the ball pretty well, too, and I feel that I’m a good teammate on and off the court.” The future of this recruiting class and the overall team has yet to be determined, but even with some inexperience across the board, Jones contended the freshmen have added an element that could bolster the Tigers’ prospects this season. “You approach it with caution because were going to be extremely young and inexperienced in some positions,” Jones said. “There will certainly be some growing pains with this basketball team — but talented? Yes.” You can reach James Bewers on Twitter @JamesBewers_TDR.

NASA, from page 1 make a patch for the then-upcoming first flight to Orion. “Lockheed Martin made the patch and put it in the payload, and it was flown into space,” Koubek said. LSU students also get to access the resources NCAM has to offer by participating in internships or the more recent joint welding class offered for LSU and University of New Orleans students last spring. Internships with NCAM allow students to work under contractors that are assembling the Space Launch System, whether
it be at Lockheed Martin or Jacobs Engineering. “After they graduate, they are prepared to continue working on the mission,” Koubek said. One of the biggest symbols of the tight partnership is NASA flying LSU flags into space. None of the other universities in the South have had their flags flown into space yet. “It’s so cool that LSU was on the last shuttle that ever went and the first Orion that was the follow-up to the space shuttle,” Koubek said. “The flags moved from lower orbit to deep space.”
