Huynh’s Instagram posts share her daily life with a splash of her own creativity. Huynh is a self-described “squareadvocate,” and prefers the images she posts to be cropped to a square. She said she doesn’t underestimate the power of a caption and says it plays a big role in a follower’s response to a post.

The Big Squeezy’s’s Instagram serves as a platform to educate followers on the shop’s juices. Matsko uses the juicery’s page to explain the benefits of certain juices. “Unless people really know what it is, then it’s just a pretty picture,” Matsko said. She said she encourages businesses to keep captions short and sweet and work on brand recognition.

Holder said showing how his vintage store’s clothing can be styled helps people understand the value of vintage clothing. The boutique has three staffers to post pictures, and each post is well-thought out. Holder recognizes Instagram’s demographic from 15 to 28 years old and said the posts lend to a younger generation.
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT BY SARAH LEBOEUF @sleboeuf3 LSU alumna, freelance photographer and Manship Theatre graphic designer Jordan Hefler shares tips for the perfect Instagram. THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT VSCO Cam app is a great tool to edit pictures “because it’s free, and because it has its own little community within it,” Hefler said. ACCESSIBLE TOOLS Hefler uses the heart icon at the bottom of the picture in the Photos app to “favorite” a picture so she can find it later. KEEP IT SIMPLE Don’t edit the picture too much. #HASHTAG IT: “This is a really great resource to meet people and for people to find [you],” she said.

Zamardi said her favorite part of Instagram is expressing herself. “I always like being able to do something original and authentic, and I like being able to show that and share that with my followers,” Zamardi said. She said Instagram allows athletes to show off their sport and her profile sets an example for girls to be inspired to work hard.
LIGHTING: Find natural light, perhaps near a window, but don’t Instagram at noon, she said. At noon, the sun peaks in the sky, casting unflattering shadows, she said. Hefler recommends taking photos an hour or two before sunset or after sunrise. FRONT VS. BACK CAMERA: The back camera has better resolution than the front-facing camera, but it’s easier to see how the picture will look with the front camera. ALL ABOUT THE ANGLE Hefler suggests holding the picture slightly above eye level. This can also prevent red eye when using the flash.

Spousal equity program starts this semester LSU defense crucial in defeating Bulldogs
BY CAITIE BURKES @BurkesTDR
The Office of Academic Affairs responded to Faculty Senate suggestions regarding equity in spousal hiring by implementing an experimental program for the 2015-16 academic year. According to Faculty Senate Resolution 13-01, equity in spousal hiring entails “adopting a university protocol for the retention and recruitment of dual-career faculty members” who are married. Two Faculty Senate proposals on the subject have been brought up within the past few years before LSU interim Executive Vice President and Provost Richard Koubek picked it up during the summer.

University professors of theatre John Fletcher and his partner Alan Sikes pose together on Sunday at the Greek Theatre. Kevin Cope said equity in spousal hiring is a two-part process. The first part of it, he said, involves writing a program by which LSU can hire desir-

The now-No. 13 LSU football team waited 11 months and 23 days for a shot at redemption. The Tigers (1-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) had Saturday night’s game against then-No. 25 Mississippi State University marked on their calendars since suffering a nail-biting defeat last season. Saturday night, they filed into Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi, to a hellfire of cowbells. Three hours and 25 minutes after the opening kickoff, the Tigers celebrated on the field to the sound of silence after quieting the cowbells, coming
away with a 21-19 victory against the Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1 SEC). Junior defensive tackle Christian LaCouture said the team’s keys to victory before the game started were to pressure senior quarterback Dak Prescott in the pocket without letting him get loose and break off large chunks of yards after he ran for 105 in Mississippi State’s victory against the Tigers last season. “We wanted to make sure that never happened again,” LaCouture said. “We were a little embarrassed last year by that. We prepared, moved on and got better as the year moved on.” The Tigers were successful in
