The lakes are popular for student recreation and recruiting assets to the University. Shallow water and invisible tree stumps are unsafe for students who want to get out on the water, Spain said. The last time the lakes were dredged, which was 20 years ago, Spain said, a hydraulic hose was used to suck sediment up without draining the lake. While this method avoidedthesmellsandunattractive
LSU Online’s degree paths allow students across the world to get a degree through the University without having to step foot in Baton Rouge. The department is in charge of the online classes offered to students during the fall and spring semesters, but LSU Online mainly focuses on offering online-only degree paths for national and international students. The online program started in March of 2013 with three different programs available to students, but since its inception, the program has tripled in size to nine programs, said Amanda Major, interim director of LSU Online. “LSU wanted to stay competitive in online programs, so we have progressed lightning quickly in the past two years to keep in competition with other universi-

Master Plan aims to revitalize, replenish BR lakes BY DAVID LAPLANTE dlaplante@lsureveille.com After revisions at a series of community meetings, the Master Plan, presented by the Baton Rouge Area Foundation on July 16, to revive and replenish the Baton Rouge Lakes has been completed. The Master Plan comprises two phases of construction including several projects focused on the health and practical use of the lakes, according to BRAF’s executive vice president
John Spain. “Historically, they weren’t lakes,” Spain said. According to the website set up by BRAF for the Lakes project, the land the lakes occupy was donated to the University in the mid-’30s on the condition that the swamp be turned into public lakes and parks and kept that way. “If someone doesn’t step in, they will revert to swampland,” Spain said. The plan published on the organization’s website involves two phases. The first is focused on the
health of the lakes, including the dredging and sculpting of the lake bottoms. The phase comes from an Army Corps of Engineers 2008 study that found the lakes’ health and depth to be in danger. Dredging is the process by which sediment is removed from the bottom of the lakes. Sediment accumulates in the lakes from runoff and erosion and threatens the health of the lakes by reducing its depth, Spain said, noting University and Campus lakes are only two feet deep on average.
ART
Exhibit shows dynamic nature of modern origami BY MORGAN PREWITT mprewitt@lsureveille.com Many people around the world have heard the story of Sadako Sasaki, the Japanese atomic bombing victim who folded a thousand paper cranes with the hope of being granted a wish for a cure to her leukemia. Although paper cranes are a staple of origami, the Louisiana Art and Science Museum’s exhibit “Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami” shows the dynamic nature of the evolving art form and its applications in modern day science. “You think of origami and you think of folded paper cranes,” said Douglas Kennedy, the museum’s communication coordinator. “But
it’s a whole lot more than that. It’s become its own art form. You wouldn’t think that origami would be used in airbags, heart stents, space telescopes, but it has been.” The exhibit is divided into four sections with each focusing on a specific aspect of origami: its history, forms and figures, mathematical elements and modern applications. Beginning with a historical approach, the first pieces represent the traditional approach to origami, which originated in Japan as “gift decor” or “paper wrappings” said the museum’s collections manager Lexi Guillory. One of the early stars of the exhibit is one of Sasaki’s own cranes, which is incredibly small and a representation of the variation
necessary in her situation. “She did [it] with whatever she could — candy wrappers, regular size sheets of paper,” Guillory said. “When you need to fold a thousand cranes in a hospital, you just fold with what you’ve got.” After Sasaki’s crane, the exhibit moves into a portrayal of the complexity of modern origami with the work of Akira Yoshizawa, who is considered the father of modern day origami, by pushing the limits of the art beyond its traditional symbolism. “He made big strides,” Guillory said. “He gave us a way to say, ‘Can I fold an origami brain, a velociraptor or a moose?’ To think of origami as a more versatile art.”

‘Pixels’ too complex, inappropriate for children THE KATZ MEOW
B-16 Hodges Hall Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, La. 70803
Newsroom (225) 578-4810
RILEY KATZ Writer What happens when aliens send the video games that we launched into space back to kill us? We must rely on Adam Sandler to save us, for some reason. “Pixels” tells the story of childhood friends Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler) and Will “Chewy” Cooper (Kevin James) joining together to fight off the horde of Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Centipede that are sent down as a series of challenges for ownership of the planet. If Earth loses, the rulers of the opposing planet say they will destroy the Earth. Those games were featured in a competition that Brenner and Cooper played in as teenagers. Footage from the competition was included in the space capsule launched into space to explain pop culture in the ’80s to beings that had the means to reach the capsule. The first 30 to 45 minutes of the movie feel very disjointed. Chewy is president of the United States. Did I mention he cannot read? For t y- s omet h i ng-ye a r - old Brenner is working as a Geek Squad rip-off nerd with his life in shambles after losing his wife to an affair. On an assignment to install an insanely expensive TV and video game setup for a child, whose mother, Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monoghan) also is left alone due to an affair, Brenner finds himself falling for Violet. If this sounds overly complex and confusing, it is. Does it help progress the story? Nope. While Brenner and Van Patten are drinking wine out of a sippy-cup in her closet and she’s crying out her emotions, the Space Invaders make their first move by attacking a military base in Guam. The aliens declare the event a victory and take a random soldier as a trophy. Chewy calls in Brenner as the resident video game expert and decides to wait until the aliens attack and destroy the Taj Mahal to make a move because his approval ratings are through the floor. After another loss, the Earth only has one loss left before total destruction. A lot of this movie is overly complex, and the many

Aliens send video games to Earth as a threatening series of challenges in ‘Pixels,’ starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. details added do little to help the audience understand anything happening. Adam Sandler is phoning in his performance, as expected. For a movie that’s intended for children, I was legitimately surprised it’s rated PG-13 considering how much explicit language it has. I will give “Pixels” the little credit it is due. The special effects are actually kind of cool, and the Pac-Man vs. ghosts segment is very entertaining. But for everything the movie does right, it falls flat much more frequently and intensely than the high points. Many parts of the movie are borderline disgusting, and as someone who actually likes crude humor, I was nearly appalled at how nasty parts of the movie got. As a summer movie, “Pixels” does its job well enough if you can overlook the glaring badness throughout the movie. Even though the movie appears to be a family movie, I highly recommend leaving the children at home for this one. What should have been a children’s movie is actually somewhere in limbo between a mature movie and a children’s movie, but it does a bad job at reaching either. I was expecting the movie to be much worse than it was, but by no means is the
movie good. Do not go see this movie in theaters, but I would recommend renting it after it comes out if you want a light film.

THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAGEDY
GERALD HERBERT / The Associated Press
A bouquet of flowers lies next to crime scene tape in the parking lot outside The Grand 16 Theatre in Lafayette on Sunday.
Lack of gun control, crumbling mental health system failing the U.S. THE CERULEAN CONCILIATOR JUSTIN DICHARIA Writer April 20, 1999: 13 murdered in Columbine, Colorado; April 16, 2007: 32 murdered at Virginia Tech; December 14, 2012: 26 murdered in Newtown, Connecticut; July 23, 2015: two murdered and nine wounded in Lafayette, Louisiana. These mass shootings are the results of a crumbling mental health care system and lack of gun control in the U.S. This is the great American tragedy. Last week in Lafayette, John Houser, 59, opened fire in a movie theater killing two women, injuring nine others and subsequently killing himself upon the realization he could not escape without arrest. According to USA Today, Houser’s family claimed in 2008 he was in a “volatile mental state,” forced into involuntary hospitalization for a time and served restraining
orders preventing him from going near family members. In 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School and murdered their classmates and a faculty member. They were given the weapons by friends who acquired them at a gun show. Thirty-four states do not require background checks at gun shows, which means both criminal and mental health records are ignored during these purchases. On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Gov. Bobby Jindal claimed Houser would not have been able to buy his weapon in Louisiana because his name would have shown up in a background check. However, his claim ignores the fact that private gun sellers (gun shows or secondary sales) do not have to perform background checks. So Houser could have bought his weapon from a private gun seller in Louisiana. In states that require universal background checks, such as California, secondary or gun show sales must go through a federally licensed seller in order to perform a background check on the buyer. Louisiana does not require universal background checks.
The Daily Reveille Editorial Board
Rebecca Docter Editor in Chief Jennifer Vance Managing Editor
Even in states that do look at mental health records, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System only looks at whether a legal authority has found that a person is a danger to himself or others, lacks the mental capacity to manage his own affairs or is found insane or incompetent by a court. These standards are contingent on legal authorities forcing themselves into the mental health care of citizens. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, one in five adults suffers from a mental illness, and nearly 60 percent of adults with mental illness do not receive professional help. Therefore, 60 percent of adults with mental illnesses would not show up in the NICS used by licensed gun dealers. While all states should require universal background checks on gun purchases, federal and state law must go even further. Every gun purchase must be met with an evaluation by a mental health professional. Banning guns in the U.S. is a farce of a reality. It cannot and will not happen with current politi-
cal realities. And banning assault rifles will not stop mass shootings either. Seung-Hui Cho murdered 32 people at Virginia Tech with two semi-automatic pistols. He was able to purchase his firearms despite a history with mental illness, (a history that included a court order, which should have put Cho on a watch list but did not). But creating stricter bans and installing a psychological evaluation system will not solve the underlying problem at the heart of most mass shootings. In Newtown, Connecticut, 20-year-old Adam Lanza stole his mother’s firearm and murdered 20 children and 6 adult faculty members at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Years prior to the massacre, Yale University’s Child Study Center recommended to Lanza’s mother that he take medication and receive further professional help for his mental health issues. Lanza’s mother ignored these recommendations, and he went untreated, later murdering his mother and 26 others. The Sandy Hook massacre did not involve a gun purchase gone

wrong, but it revolved around a mental health system failure paired with poor parenting. After an organization offers a recommendation that a child receives professional mental help, that organization or legal authorities must follow up on whether or not such help is occurring. In the case that the parent ignores serious recommendations that his or her child receive mental help, child protective services should enter the picture. The path to curbing and eventually ending mass shootings in America does not have a single solution but a series of necessary reforms within the firearm community and the mental health system and negative stigma around mental health in this country. Unless citizens and lawmakers push for comprehensive reforms, mass shootings will continue to be tragic but inevitable, and the great American tragedy will just steepen in unnecessary casualties.

Opinion
Fashion industry needs to redefine standards, include plus-size women THREAUXDOWN ZOE GEAUTHREAUX Writer, Photographer Today, the average size of the American woman is hard to agree upon, but it’s debated to be between sizes eight and 14. Yet, by fashion industry standards, the average woman also is considered plus sized. “A plus sized model, in the past, was a size 10 to 12 — up to a size 18 for fashion,” said director of MSA Models Anthony Higgins in an article published on NYCastings.com. “Now they are calling a size eight plus sized.” This is no surprise coming from an industry that plasters the faces and bodies of models averaging from size zero to four on nearly every advertisement, catalog and runway. Year after year, women are expected to abide by beauty standards set in place to sell clothing — and in this world, thin sells. While this doesn’t really affect the average American woman shopping for an outfit to complement her features, it’s a different case for those who are actually plus size. Due to the industry’s skewed understanding of what plus size really is, many girls and women are left with limited choices as retailers devote themselves to petite bodies. What designers within the fashion industry should understand is that they are overlooking a fairly large market of plus-size consumers — worth about $9 bil-
lion in 2014, according to Australian research company IBISWorld. These are women who are ready and equipped to purchase their merchandise if only it fit. At the University, assistant professor in the Department of Textiles, Apparel Design and Merchandising Laurel Romeo conducted a study in which she used body scans and in-depth interviews to reveal that there are three issues that interfere with plus-size female teens purchasing desired apparel: lack of plus-size apparel in the Juniors category, confusion over size designations and fit concerns with online purchases. According to the study, 53 percent of participants suggested that sizing charts be updated by manufacturers to reflect the size and shape of today’s female teens. “[Manufacturers] didn’t make sure that a [garment] fits where it should or is comfortable where it should be,” disclosed one participant, 17, during the study. “For curvier girls, give it space for those curves to fit.” The study also found that there is a stigma associated with the term “plus size” that has some consumers, especially younger ones, shying away from the clothes that fit them as fat-shaming is still a prevailing issue in our country. “For a preteen or teenager, they should never call it plus size,” commented a participating mother of a 12 year-old. “Because teenagers are mean, and preteens are worse.”
Luckily, there has been a growing trend of acceptance toward people, especially women, of all shapes and sizes. This shift is exemplified in the award-winning “Dove Campaign for Real Beauty” and among hashtag campaigns such as #EffYourBeautyStandards, #AskHerMore and #NotBuyingIt. However, as long as models are the face of fashion, women will be faced with an unrealistic beauty standard — despite the fact these models have a team of makeup artists, stylists and Photoshop experts who make them look the way they look in the pictures we see. As a woman, I can better relate to clothing when average-sized women are placed in advertising campaigns because it tells me the way I look is OK. I’m sure the same would apply to plus-size women if there were actual plus-size women in fashion. For centuries, females have been adapting themselves to fit these beauty standards set by the fashion industry — from attempting to change the shape of their body to adopting new grooming habits. Now, in 2015, we celebrate the diversity of beauty and empower women with the confidence to not only accept but love the way they look. With that said, it’s time the fashion industry start adapting itself to fit females for a change. Zoe Geauthreaux is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from New Orleans.

Tuesday, July 28, 2015 LAKES, from page 1 appearance of the dry lakes, it was not effective in removing enough sediment and got hung up on the tree stumps that litter the lakebed under the water’s surface. The second phase, focused on maximizing the lakes’ use, is several separate projects including construction of boat lodges, a promenade on sorority row, an event center across from The Cook Hotel at LSU and a bird observatory stand to greatly benefit University students. “We acknowledge that [University] students are the largest users of the lakes,” Spain said, adding that Student Government was involved in the plan’s drafting. Spain said the organization is unsure which method will be used to dredge the lake, but it will be the first opportunity to design the lakebed to support plants and fish properly. Estimates expect the dredging will excavate enough dirt to fill Tiger Stadium, Spain said, which will be used to fill and landscape the eroded shores of the lakes. The plan requires work before it can be put into action, Spain said. BRAF’s vision for the lakes must be converted to technical construction plans. Assuming the organization gets the money it needs to move forward, it will still take up to 12 months to prepare
ONLINE, from page 1 ties across the country,” Major said. Major said the fully-online degree programs reach all across the world to students who cannot be at the University to study by offering condensed terms. These programs are designed for students looking to further education after college. “Most of our 100 percent online programs are for continuing studies,” Major said “We realize that most of our exclusively online students are professionals who cannot afford the time to go to a college campus. While not all of our classes are offered internationally, there are students overseas, one in Guam, for instance.” She said online programs came around when LSU realized online classes offered students a means of higher education that would let them work around their own schedules in a way traditional degree paths did not allow. The online programs differ from traditional degree paths at the University in the way they are accessed and taken. While some aspects of traditional learning, such as group work, are present in online courses, the method of asynchronous teaching used to teach students is an entirely different way of teaching, Major said. The online class relies heavily on reading and audio/video components. “Teachers on campus lean more toward the traditional way of teaching through lectures,” Major said. “When I was teaching online, I had optional synchronous meetings for students that wanted to have a more traditional learning experience. I would then upload that meeting to Moodle for
for construction. The Louisiana legislature secured $13 million for the Lakes project in this year’s session, but Spain said that money is still not fully realized and BRAF will not count it until they have it in cash. The dredging project alone is expected to cost up to $25 million, and only $3 million is expected to be available for BRAF to apply for this year. Spain expects phase one will be completed in five years, but he said the organization cannot plan any specifics until funding is secured and projects documents have been prepared. Phase two is a series of projects that will likely be completed separately based on priority and funding availability. BRAF doesn’t intend to pay for the projects, Spain said. The organization took responsibility for drafting plans for the lakes but will not be raising money for their completion. “At some point, elected officials will have to take action,” Spain said. “The process will be uncomfortable. People don’t want to pay taxes, and there will be smells and noise.” Spain said most residents who attended community meetings agreed the health of the lakes was important. “Of course, some are going to disagree about how to get it done,” Spain said, “but most agree that we need to do something.” students that could not be present.” The term for online degree paths lasts seven weeks and runs throughout the year, Major said, but the education students enrolled will receive is up to the same University standards. Students enrolled usually only take one or two classes over the course of a term, and program coordinators act as advisers to tell students what order they should take classes. “The intensity and quality of education remains the same, but the terms are more condensed. For some of our programs ... students can get their degree in six to 12 months depending on the credit hours you come in with,” Major said. “The degrees that students are getting online are the same as those who go the traditional route

ORIGAMI, from page 1 The complexity of the modern forms requires different processes to complete each piece, Guillory said. Some artists make all of the creases in the paper like an outline before beginning to fold while other objects require an artist to fold a piece in different sections. Another difference between ancient and modern origami is the modern focus on avoiding any cuts to the paper. Another section of the exhibit is dedicated to origami with mathematical focus, which features intricate geometric or organic designs of modular origami. The final part displays the modern technological uses of origami, which features everything from heart stents to the design of car airbags. “You think [the airbag] is just in the dashboard, but no,” Guillory said. “There is an actual principle behind how it fits in there and how it expands so that it safely comes to you.” Although the majority of the exhibit is made of international pieces to show the variety of the form on a worldwide stage, the inclusion of works by local artists John Hu and Kao Hwa Sze brings a local touch along with an interactive origami folding station.

The department recently shifted its focus to creating a better online experience that benefits students and faculty in charge of the classes. “We wanted to give faculty the support they need as well as what the students need to have high quality online learning and engaging experiences,” Major said. Looking to the future, Major said LSU Online is hoping to expand programs for in-demand and niche degrees in the future, like the new Master of Arts in education with specialization in educational technology program, slated to start next year on March 7, 2016.
