SENATE CANDIDATES square off Jabs traded at final U.S. Senate debate
BY quint forgey qforgey@lsureveille.com Audience members at Louisiana’s final televised Senate debate could have forgotten they were sitting in the University’s Journalism Building on Wednesday. The anxious crowds of campaign staffers, political VIPs and anticipating media
members transformed the Holliday Forum, if only for an hour, into a gripping political landscape. With one minute to respond to questions, Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La.; Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.; and Republican Col. Robert Maness hurled talking points and rhetorical fireballs in their last televised stand. The candidates used their responses to al-

Open house promotes lesser-known library services Students win prizes while learning about the libraries’ resources

Librarians from the LSU Law Library participate in Middleton Library’s ‘It Came From The Library’ open house Wednesday.
The trick to getting students in the library is to treat them to candy and prizes. More than 600 students attended Middleton Library’s “It Came From the Library” open house to learn about resources from LSU Libraries’ Special Collections, which cover everything from law to music to oral history. The open house was an attempt by library staff to
highlight services and resources offered by the libraries in a fun, festive environment. There were 20 stations manned by costume-clad library staff, each offering a brief summary of the service they represented. Students who made it to 12 of the stations were entered into a drawing for a Kindle Fire, an iPad or an iPad Mini. Business reference librarian Rebecca Kelley said she believes there are two reasons
students do not utilize the library: a lack of awareness and a fear of asking for help. “We want to make the library a place where students want to be,” said Kelley. “We have more than just print books.” Sigrid Kelsey, director of library communications and publications, said the University library system offers hundreds

Russians deliver space station cargo after U.S. failure THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTIC, Va. — The company behind the dramatic launch explosion of a space station supply mission promises to find the cause of the failure and is warning residents to avoid any potentially hazardous wreckage. Orbital Sciences Corp.’s unmanned Antares rocket blew up just moments after liftoff Tuesday evening from the Virginia coast. Meanwhile, early Wednesday, the Russian Space Agency launched its own cargo vessel from Kazakhstan and the spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station six hours later with 3 tons of food. The smooth flight was in stark contrast to the Orbital Sciences’ failed launch, and had been planned well in advance of the accident. The Orbital Sciences rocket was carrying a Cygnus capsule loaded with 2½ tons of space station experiments and equipment for NASA. No one was injured when the rocket exploded moments after liftoff, shooting flaming debris down onto the launch area and into the ocean. Ground crews were ready
to access the fire-stricken area of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility at daybreak Wednesday to search for accident debris. The company’s Cygnus cargo ship was carrying 5,000 pounds of experiments and equipment for NASA, as well as prepackaged meals and, in a generous touch, freeze-dried Maryland crabcakes for a Baltimore-born astronaut who’s been in orbit for five months. All of the lost materials will be replaced and flown to the 260-mile-high space station, NASA’s station program manager Mike Suffredini said. The six-person space station crew has enough supplies to last well into spring. The accident is sure to draw scrutiny to the space agency’s growing reliance on private U.S. companies in the post-shuttle era. NASA is paying billions of dollars to Virginia-based Orbital Sciences and the California-based SpaceX company to make station deliveries, and it’s counting on SpaceX and Boeing to start flying U.S. astronauts to the orbiting lab as early as 2017. It was the fourth Cygnus bound for the orbiting lab; the first flew just over a year ago.

Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket suffers a catastrophic anomaly moments after launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad OA on Tuesday. SpaceX is scheduled to launch another Dragon supply ship from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in December. “Today’s launch attempt will not deter us from our work to expand our already successful capability to launch cargo from American shores to the
International Space Station,” NASA’s human exploration chief, Bill Gerstenmaier, said in a statement following the accident. Until Tuesday, all of the supply missions by Orbital Sciences and SpaceX had been near-flawless.

Pope maps out personal, progressive policies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has made some of the most important policy speeches of his pontificate in recent days, catching up for lost time following months of attention to bureaucratic reform and the turbulent meeting of bishops on family issues that just ended. Often speaking in his native Spanish, Francis has focused on issues close to his heart â the plight of the poor and unemployed, the environment and even evolution, seemingly
emboldened to speak his mind on topics that must make even some of his closest collaborators squirm. He hasn’t changed church doctrine. But he has pushed the envelope on some issues, raised eyebrows with his blunt speaking style on others, and made clear where his progressive social priorities lie. Here are some highlights from a busy week at the Vatican, with issues that Francis might raise again when he makes a major policy speech to the European Parliament next month.

‘Listen’ campaign off to early start on social media BY jayce genco jgenco@lsureveille.com With U.S. Senate midterm elections heating up between Republican Congressman Bill Cassidy and incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, another campaign is in its early stages here on campus. Helen Frink, mass communication junior and Student Government senator, and international trade and finance junior Wesley Davis have already started their bid for SG president and vice president, respectively. The ticket officially launched Sunday with the social media campaign “Listen.” “Every spring Student Government brings you ideas & asks you to care. We’re here to flip the table. You talk. We listen,” says Listen’s Facebook page. Another Facebook post states, “Listen is about opening a channel of communication between LSU Student Government and the students we represent.” Frink said Listen is a pre-campaign before the actual campaign. The two hopefuls have started their campaign early to change the process of putting together
tickets. The aim is to involve students who may not normally participate in SG. In recent years, the tickets running have traditionally involved LSU Ambassadors and members of the Greek community. “We are putting our ticket together very differently than normal. Instead of picking our friends and our friends of friends, just like the average well known people in Greek life or Ambassadors or Student Government, we’re trying to reach out to parts of campus that are not normally reached,” Frink said. Frink is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and an LSU Ambassador. Davis also is an LSU Ambassador. Frink said she never dreamed of running for SG president, but she wanted to change the way campaigns and elections are run. She said the campaigns are where a lot of issues for SG originate. “We’re just trying to find those people that are going to be in it for the right reasons,” Frink said. Frink said she doesn’t just want to stick to the ever-popular
initiatives of parking and safety but wants to focus on the “more pressing issues.” “There are students on this campus who are like widely different from me, so I cannot even begin to imagine what their issues are,” Frink said. The status quo for SG elections usually are a male president and female vice president, but this ticket is changing that up, too. Davis called the shake-up exciting. “Historically it has been [a] male Greek running for president, a female Greek or non-Greek as vice president. Obviously, just from candidates, we’re already different,” Davis said. Because the candidates are usually similar, Davis said they also have the same message of improving SG. Davis translates this into reaching out to those who don’t have a relationship with SG. “There can be more people involved, there can be more people on campus that do have a relationship — a positive relationship with Student Government,” Davis said. “I think we’re off to a good start in that direction.”

GLSEN survey shows improved conditions for LGBT students University environment is still far from perfect BY jazmine foxworth jfoxworth@lsureveille.com A survey released by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network revealed that conditions for LGBT students improved during the 2012-13 school year compared to 2010-11. Many LGBT and non-LGBT students at the University agree that the climate for LGBT student on campus has improved, but it is still far from perfect. Courtney Murr, secretary of University LGBT organization Spectrum, said she wasn’t surprised by the survey’s results and students on campus have been more accepting of LGBT students. “As the years go by, people have a more accepting attitude towards LGBTQ students, but it’s still not a great environment for [them],” Murr said. Of the students who participated in the GLSEN survey, 55 percent stated they felt unsafe at school due to their sexual orientation. More than one-third of participants said they avoided gendersegregated spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Murr said she doesn’t feel unsafe on a daily basis, but

No thirdparty candidates participated in the debate. McMorris said Raycom Media’s polling method gave the Republican and Democratic candidates an advantage. He said his grassroots campaign has been effective, although it has not given him the numbers he needs. McMorris previously said he would not run in future elections, but Wednesday he said he might change his mind. “The Libertarian party is the fastest-growing party in Louisiana right now as a third-party option,” said Alexander Lege, assembly organizer and media director for the McMorris campaign. “We have 10,000 registered members now, and if you look at the statistics, Democrats and Republicans are all losing registrations, and the Libertarian party is going up.” Assembly organizer Mark Richard said the protestors represent all third-party candidates and those voiceless in the debate. Lege said the debate should be open to all candidates because it was hosted at a government-funded university — if the event were private, there would have been less of an issue. Richard said Raycom Media’s poll shapes future elections by limiting third parties’ exposure. “It sends out the message that it’s a waste of your time,” Richard said. Third parties would offer an alternative view if allowed to participate in the debate, Richard said. Topics like the war on drugs, drug decriminalization, the prison
system, national debt and domestic spying are issues Libertarian candidates would speak on, Richard and Lege said. Preparing for the debate, the group passed out at least 1,800 fliers in Free Speech Plaza to raise awareness for their assembly. While protestors called for more candidates, supporters from both major parties stood strong with signs and chants prepared. Economics sophomore Bradley Ashlock stood with Cassidy supporters. “We’re showing he has the support he needs,” Ashlock said. Though supporters prompted a sense of competition, some encouraged light-hearted wit. “I bet there’s one thing we can all agree on: Geaux Tigers!” a Maness supporter shouted. The crowds dispersed minutes before the debate for individual viewing parties. A live viewing session was held in the Lawton Room in Tiger Stadium, where the University chapter of Common Sense Action registered voters. Mass communication freshman Jacob Phagan attended the viewing party and said he wished he could have seen the debate in person, but enjoyed the comfortable seating in the Lawton Room. Phagan said most students were quiet during the debate except when the candidates would make blatant jabs at one another. Blows incited laughter or small conversations among viewers. “I’m a Republican, but Sen. Landrieu did very well,” Phagan said. Phagan was impressed with Landrieu’s performance and noted that she had many supporters. He said his vote may have been swayed by her performance in Wednesday’s debate.

The Daily Reveille debate, from page 1 three questions in the first minutes of the debate, none of which dealt with policy issues. Panelist and KSLA News 12 anchor Doug Warner asked the Republican frontrunner if he skirted debates to coast to a runoff. “People are always going to ascribe motives to you,” Cassidy responded. Panelist and KPLC anchor Cynthia Arceneaux questioned Landrieu about her past travel expenditures. Landrieu reimbursed the federal government in September for more than $33,000 worth of charter flights that were funded with taxpayer dollars. “I take full responsibility for that error,” Landrieu said. “I’ve paid it back.” While some questions revolved around the politics, others centered around contested policy issues. University Student Government president Clay Tufts asked Maness about his pledge to only serve two terms in the Senate if elected. Tufts questioned if his arrangement would benefit a long-term position of power in Congress. Maness said he would fight in the Senate to establish Congressional term limits. “Our government is designed to be run by citizen legislators,” Maness said. Social Security was a contentious topic in the debate, with Landrieu saying her stance on the issue differentiated her the most from Cassidy. At the last debate attended by all three candidates, Cassidy proposed raising the Social Security age to 70 — a position the
Thursday, October 30, 2014 Landrieu campaign has taken advantage of in recent weeks. As Cassidy responded to a question about Social Security benefits, Landrieu grinned broadly. Landrieu suggested his policy was unrealistic, telling Cassidy the average life expectancy of African-American in Madison Parish is 70. “It’s a very different path,” Landrieu said. “I will not vote to raise the social security age to 70.” Maness, when honed in on by the moderator, failed to provide a plan to alter Social Security and said there is still time to fix the broken system. “What is his plan?” a laughing Landrieu said halfway through his response. Gov. Bobby Jindal’s refusal to accept federal Medicaid funds for the state created a debacle amongst the candidates. Both Cassidy and Maness agreed with Jindal’s refusal. With LSU President F. King Alexander sitting in the front row, Cassidy said to “ask a university president if he wants his budget cut even more” because state funds are going to Medicaid. “Medicaid is the illusion of coverage without the power of access,” Cassidy said. Landrieu called Cassidy’s stance hypocritical. “Bill Cassidy is a doctor that has been paid a salary from Medicaid,” Landrieu said. The next question, dealing with Ebola quarantines, also left plenty of fodder for the candidates to use against one another. Landrieu said she supported a 21-day quarantine for potential Ebola victims and called out
Cassidy for voting to cut funding to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “You know, Bill, you can’t have it both ways,” Landrieu said. Maness criticized the CDC, calling their operations incompetent and results off base. “No more of this ‘I’m a doctor, I’m a scientist’ arrogance,” Maness said. Cassidy and Maness used a question about income disparity and the African-American community to segue into Obamacare opposition. Under the “Obama, Landrieu economy,” Cassidy said more have gone on food stamps than hired for jobs. Landrieu said economic inequality was partly due to racism and mentioned Cassidy and Maness do not support equal pay for women. “Of course we support equal pay for women,” Maness said, charging Landrieu with paying females on her staff less than male counterparts. In the candidates’ closing remarks, Landrieu said a vote for Maness elects “one more voice for the Tea Party in Washington,” and referenced Cassidy’s absence in past debates. “I’m glad he showed up to talk about his very harmful record for the state,” Landrieu said. Maness said he was “galvanized by God” in his campaign, and quoted Col. Nathan Jessup — Jack Nicholson’s character from A Few Good Men. Cassidy warned of Landrieu’s damaging, partisan record in Washington, and urged voters to elect him “if you want a senator who’s going to stand up to Barack Obama.”

Humble Beginnings Former walk-on Haley Smith emerges as vital contributor for Tigers BY Tyler nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com
walter radam / The Daily Reveille
Two years ago, LSU volleyball coach Fran Flory called then-freshman walkon defensive specialist Haley Smith the “Rudy” of the team. The comparison seemed appropriate at that time because of Smith’s small stature and her emergence on the team after humble beginnings. “I swept the floors here for the volleyball team my freshman year,” Smith said. “I did the little floor thing. I was part of the mop crew.” Now, Flory would compare Smith’s role on the team more to that of a starting quarterback or middle linebacker than a member of the practice squad waiting for their shot. “Haley is the fire,” Flory said. “Haley is the person running up behind those hitters and driving them to do what they are supposed to do. Her understanding of the system and her understanding of play takes her to another level.” Now a junior, Smith has become the centerpiece of a searing hot LSU squad climbing the Southeastern Conference ladder with a seven-game winning streak. After becoming the sixth Tiger in history to reach 500 digs in a single season, Smith

hasn’t slowed down, accumulating a team-high 4.05 digs per set that places her at No. 4 in the SEC. “There’s not a task or challenge that we’ve put in front of her ever that she hasn’t met or exceeded,” Flory said. “It’s been a pretty amazing run for her, and I’m proud of her and certainly happy for her.” Flory said she almost passed on her star libero two years ago. Smith decided late in her high school career to forgo plans of playing collegiate basketball for a chance to walk on to LSU’s volleyball team, but the late decision led to a lack of space on the roster her first semester on campus. After Smith spent the fall sweeping gym floors and paying her dues, Flory granted her an opportunity to try out followed by a conditional twoweek period on the team for a chance to prove herself. “The recruiting process starts pretty much your freshman year of high school, so I did get in the game kind of late,” Smith said. “But when she said she’d give me an opportunity to try out, I knew I had to try.” But Flory wasn’t convinced right away. “Honestly, we were on the cusp of not letting her stay,”

Beckwith steps into leadership role
BY michael haarala mhaarala@lsureveille.com In the No. 16 LSU football team’s matchup against Ole Miss last Saturday, sophomore linebacker Kendell Beckwith played a big role on two defensive stops that helped the Tigers pull out their 10-7 upset victory against the Rebels. In the fourth quarter, Ole Miss had the ball at LSU’s 48-yard line. On 3rd and 2, the Rebels ran the ball up the middle and were stuffed by Beckwith and junior defensive end Danielle Hunter for a gain of one yard. On 4th and 1, Beckwith stopped senior quarter back Bo Wallace for no gain. “I hit the center and we got a surge,” Beckwith said. “All the safeties and stuff dove over the top and stopped them.” Beckwith had a career night, recording 11 tackles and a slew of pass breakups, quarterback hurries and a tackle for loss. Beckwith said the environment in Tiger Stadium was unlike anything he’d experienced before. “Those are the type of games you dream of,” Beckwith said. “The atmosphere, the type of plays that happen in a game like that, that’s what you always hope for.” He’s solidified his position as a starting linebacker, and with this job comes the responsibility of facilitating the calls from the bench to the field. Beckwith said he’s slowly getting more comfortable with the play calls, and he is learning the signals from some of the older members of the Tigers’ defense. With the loud cheering in Tiger

Pelaez out for fall, will transfer to Miami Dade after semester BY jack chascin jchascin@lsureveille.com
Sophomore left-handed pitcher Christian Pelaez is out for the fall and has decided to transfer to Miami Dade College at the end of the semester, LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri said Wednesday. Pelaez has been out for the majority of fall practice with shoulder pain and was out all last season due to arm surgery. “He’s going to go to junior college in Miami and hopefully get an opportunity there to play,” Mainieri said. “He’s just so far behind everybody else that he’s just not going to get much of an opportunity, so
I think that he feels his best chance to resurrect his career at a junior college.” The Miami, Florida, native came to LSU as a three-time high school varsity MVP at Florida Christian High School. He was a Rawlings and Under Armour Preseason All-American in high school.
outfielders impress The Tigers’ outfield is one of their strengths heading into the 2015 season, and Mainieri is impressed by the depth and performance of the position this fall. Freshman Beau Jordan and senior Chris Sciambra have particularly impressed Mainieri and the coaching staff with
their clutch hitting and playmaking in the outfield. Sciambra hit a ground rule double this week in practice, and Mainieri said Jordan has had some timely hits in practice. “Chris Sciambra, for the time he has been out there, has done some good things, and Beau Jordan the freshman has really done well,” Mainieri said. “[Sciambra] is a veteran player that I have a lot of confidence in. Beau Jordan has really impressed the coaching staff with some clutch hitting and some extraordinary play in the outfield.” Jordan, a Lake Charles,

LSU shakes up standings with upset win against Ole Miss Tigers move up to No. 5 in latest rankings THE CUBAN CANNON tommy romanach Sports Columnist It’s becoming obvious each week: Nobody is going undefeated in the Southeastern Conference. Only one undefeated SEC team remains, as upsets within the conference have become a weekly occurrence. The undefeated team, No. 1 Mississippi State, still has two road games against top-10 teams. With the first College Football Playoff poll out — and three SEC teams in the top four — the rest of the conference schedule should be a treat to watch, so sit back and enjoy the ride. 1. Mississippi State, Prev. 1 (7-0, 4-0 SEC) Somehow, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is still talked about in the same regard as Bulldogs’ quarterback Dak Prescott for the Heisman race. Unless I missed a week, Oregon still has one more loss than Mississippi State despite playing a far easier schedule. The lone loss, a 31-24 defeat by Arizona, was sealed when Mariota fumbled on Oregon’s final drive. Prescott hasn’t even needed to make a final drive despite beating three top-10 teams this season. Prescott and his offense have rolled through opponents in the same way Oregon offenses have before, but they’re doing it against SEC opponents rather than the Pac-12. Hopefully, Heisman voters realize this before doing something moronic. 2. Alabama, Prev. 3 (7-1, 4-1 SEC) The rule about playing Alabama this season is simple: Cover junior receiver Amari Cooper or prepare to take a loss. Cooper embarrassed Tennessee on Saturday, catching nine passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns. The Tide’s only loss and closest win of the season, Ole Miss and Arkansas, just happen to be the two games Cooper has not reached 100 receiving yards. Cooper runs routes like a professional and is a menace when given space. LSU will have to shut down Cooper if it plans to have a chance at pulling off another upset at home. 3. Auburn, Prev. 4 (6-1, 3-1 SEC) Auburn moves up in this week’s rankings and up to fourth nationally, but Saturday’s win was anything but impressive. Auburn battled a weak South Carolina team to a 42-35 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium, with the defense making multiple stops in the fourth quarter to keep the
Gamecocks behind. Since the win against LSU, Gus Malzahn’s team has made a major slide and has displayed weaknesses on defense. Auburn will play at Ole Miss this Saturday, and it must bring the intensity it showed to start the season if it wants to survive. 4. Ole Miss, Prev. 2 (7-1, 4-1 SEC) “Bad� Bo Wallace returned Saturday night, and he saved his dumbest decisions for the end of the game. Wallace seemed confused when coach Hugh Freeze wanted to kick a field goal with nine seconds left in the 10-7 loss to LSU, and the indecision led to a delayof-game penalty. Wallace then topped that by throwing a duck into the arms of senior defensive back Ronald Martin to seal the game. “Bad Bo� will return at some point this season, and it will be as glorious to watch as Saturday’s debacle. 5. LSU, Prev. 6 (7-2, 3-2 SEC) This team has seen some massive falls and sudden rises, but the Tigers now appear to be the same team everyone thought they would be. Like many predicted before the season, LSU rallied behind a strong offensive line and a suffocating pass defense in the victory against Ole Miss. Sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings will need this type of production if the Tigers want to continue their winning streak and keep pulling upsets. 6. Georgia, Prev. 5 (6-1, 4-1 SEC) Georgia will follow up a bye week with its rivalry game against Florida in Jacksonville on Saturday, which should hardly be a problem. The rest of UGA’s schedule looks promising as well, so it has a chance to make it back into College Football Playoff contention. 7. Kentucky, Prev. 11 (5-3, 2-3 SEC) The Wildcats looked impressive and completely different from their loss to LSU in a close loss Saturday against Mississippi State. Beyond the loss in Baton Rouge, sophomore quarterback Patrick Towles has been better than average. He recorded 466 total yards and four touchdowns in the loss to MSU on Saturday, and he’ll find a way to lead the Wildcats to bowl eligibility. 8. Texas A&M, Prev. 7 (5-3, 2-3 SEC) The Aggies get a tune-up game against University of Louisiana at Monroe on Saturday, but it probably won’t save them in a game against Auburn next week. Sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill looked just like a first-year quarterback should
in the last two road games, so don’t expect anything different at Jordan-Hare. 9. Missouri, Prev. 9 (6-2, 3-1 SEC) Missouri beat Vanderbilt, 24-14, Saturday to clinch bowl eligibility, which is bad news for everyone. Having to watch sophomore Maty Mauk attempt to play the quarterback position is something no one wants to see, even in some pathetic bowl game. 10. Arkansas, Prev. 8 (4-4, 0-4 SEC) The depression seen on coach Bret Bielema’s face isn’t from Arkansas’ continued conference losing streak. It comes from watching Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon and thinking about what could have been if Bielema had stayed in Madison. 11. South Carolina, Prev. 10 (4-4, 2-4 SEC) The Gamecocks’ close loss at Auburn on Saturday proved their win earlier in the season against Georgia was no fluke. If it brings its best game, USC can compete with any team in the conference. The problem, of course, is finding that best game. Its schedule becomes a bit easier down the stretch, especially after it finishes SEC play Nov. 15. 12. Tennessee, Prev. 12 (3-5, 0-4 SEC) The Volunteers put up a great fight against Alabama on Saturday, but “put up a great fight� has almost been the motto of the Tennessee’s season, and the team is probably getting tired of it. At some point, the Volunteers have to win their first game. Butch Davis is too good a coach, and the players are too talented. Home games against Kentucky and Missouri should finally end the drought, and a road win against Vanderbilt could get the Vols to a bowl game. 13. Florida, Prev. 14 (3-3, 2-3 SEC) Billy Donovan has a great group of players coming back from last season’s dominant basketball team, so at least there’s that. Gator fans will only have to endure one more football game before basketball plays its first exhibition game. It is pretty dark when Florida fans are begging for basketball season to start, but it’s where they are. How Will Muschamp remains employed still fascinates me. 14. Vanderbilt, Prev. 13 (2-6, 0-5 SEC) Now here’s a fan base who really deserves to storm the field if the Commodores beat someone.

Tigers finish rough season with match against Auburn BY david gray dgray@lsureveille.com LSU freshman defender Jordane Carvery wrapped her arms around fellow freshman Ella Williams as tears flooded down her cheeks after the Tigers’ disheartening 2-0 loss to Kentucky last Friday. But as emotional as Friday’s loss to the Wildcats was, the LSU soccer team’s heartbreak didn’t end there. Two days later, LSU sophomore defender Megan Lee fought back the tears in her own eyes as she struggled to explain her emotions to reporters following the Tigers’ 3-0 defeat to No. 8 Florida. “I don’t know how to put it into words, really,” Lee said. This wasn’t the type of year Lee and the LSU soccer team envisioned, and all that remains is the regular season finale against Southeastern Conference opponent Auburn (10-5-3, 4-3-3 SEC) at 7 p.m. tonight at LSU Soccer Stadium. With consecutive top-15 recruiting classes filling LSU’s roster to the brim with international and local talent, the Tigers (5-12-2, 1-8-1 SEC) had their sights set on competing in the SEC Tournament and possibly beyond at season’s end. But while Friday’s loss to Kentucky jeopardized LSU’s chances of reaching the SEC Tournament, Sunday’s defeat to the Gators officially dashed any remaining hopes of postseason action and unofficially signaled the end of the Tigers’ season. As the 2014 season draws to a close, thoughts of what could’ve been have inevitably creeped into the Tigers’ minds. “I feel like everyone eventually thinks back on the season,” said LSU sophomore forward Summer Clarke. “There’s been a lot of opportunities where we could have finished a few more chances or come out stronger or little things like that. “You always wonder if you could have made that shot or if someone could have blocked that shot, what might have happened. But in the end, it is what it is. You can reflect on it, but it doesn’t really change anything.” LSU’s loss to Florida on Sunday marked the squad’s sixth consecutive defeat, and it also gave the Tigers their 10th loss in the 12 games since claiming a 4-3 victory against BYU on Sept. 11. If LSU loses its seventh straight match in the season finale against Auburn tonight, it’ll be the longest losing streak of coach Brian Lee’s 10-year tenure. But no matter the outcome of LSU’s season-ending contest against Auburn, the squad will
finish with the worst singleseason record since the Tigers went 4-15-1 in 1999. Everyone expected a rebuilding season, but not to such a magnitude, said LSU junior goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano. “More than anything, it’s just really frustrating because we know we do have so much talent,” Rubiano said. “We can feel the frustration in the games. We don’t get frustrated with each other, but we get frustrated over why we can’t seem to put it together. We’re hoping that over the next spring, we’ll develop more chemistry with each other.” Megan Lee, who helped the New Zealand national team reach the quarterfinals in the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup this summer, is one of LSU’s many players that had never experienced a season filled with as many losses as this one. Lee said the squad’s first SEC game against Missouri on Sept. 19, which the Tigers dropped 3-1, was what set the tone for the rest of the season. “We were down 2-1, and it was only in our last 10, 20 minutes that we were actually trying our hardest,” Lee said. “That’s the biggest problem we’ve had with our season. We’ll go up, and [the other team] will come back and equalize or get ahead. Then, we wouldn’t really put the energy in to combat that until the last 10, 20 minutes.” However, Clarke said the season could’ve gone much worse. “If anything, I think it would’ve been more detrimental for us to come out strong and then fallen apart because we’d be coming into next year as a broken team,” Clarke said. “This season has kind of forced us to be closer because we’ve had to come together and rally ourselves. I think we’ve gotten closer as a team, and it’s going to carry into spring and next season.” The Tigers will look to push past their tough season and finish the 2014 campaign on a high note against Auburn tonight. But Clarke doesn’t think the squad should completely ignore all that’s happened this season. She said the rough year has changed her outlook on soccer but added it was perhaps a necessary evil the team had to endure in order to build mental toughness for next season. “It’s new for me, but I think it’s good because every player has to go through adversity,” Clarke said. “It puts everything in perspective because you’re so used to being on the top and winning in everything. It brings a whole new perspective to the game being on the other end of that.” You can reach David Gray on Twitter @DGray_TDR.

He led Barbe to the 2014 State Championship while being named the tournament MVP, batting .398 with 12 home runs and 43 RBIs. Mainieri also said juniors Mark Laird and Andrew Stevenson have played well so far, but sophomore Jake Fraley has struggled to get hits. “He’s making contact most of the time, he just hasn’t been getting a lot of hits,” Mainieri said. “I’m not really overly concerned with Jake. He’s had not quite as strong a fall as the other guys, but I’m not going to forget how well he did last year. I still think Jake’s a great player. It’s going to be good competition, but I think our outfield is one of the strengths of our team.” so far, so good for catching trio The Tigers’ catching rotation is one of the more experienced on the squad, and Mainieri said the combination of senior Kade Scivicque, freshman Mike Papierski and junior Chris Chinea gives the Tigers a good threesome at the position. Scivicque and Papierski have had good hitting stretches lately. Mainieri said Scivicque hit a ball off the center field fence
smith, from page 5 Flory said. “Technically, she was a long away, but physically and attitudinally she was right there. That’s what kept her ... It was absolutely a gut call.” Smith acknowledged she had a lot of work to do in the beginning both technically and emotionally. She reminisced about her first game in purple and gold against No. 2 Texas and how nervous she became when coach called her number. “I just remember not remembering how to pass,” Smith said. “Good thing it was muscle memory because other than that, it was really overwhelming.” But two years later, Flory’s gut call has paid off. It added a hyper-competitive workhorse who hates not being the best. Even with the Tigers currently on their longest conference winning streak since 2009, Smith’s appetite for improvement remains insatiable. “Everything seems like it’s falling into place, but that doesn’t mean we stop improving and working hard,” Smith said. “We’re not where we want to be. The RPI says we’re No. 25, so we still have 24 teams ahead of us. That is not where we want to be.” Smith is 86 digs away from becoming the 15th LSU volleyball player to earn 1,000 digs, and with another season in her future, she could make a run at the program record of 1,527 career digs set by Daniela Reis in 1992. Smith said these accomplishments mean the world to her, not because she’s had more success
Tuesday, while Papierski had both a left-handed and righthanded double. “Scivicque has played really well as of late,” Mainieri said. “He seems like he throws everybody out stealing. [Papierski’s] very solid defensively. He’s not overmatched by any stretch of the imagination.” Chinea has had a particularly good fall, Mainieri said. He’s playing mostly first base in practice and hitting the ball well. “Chris Chinea has had as good a fall as anyone with the bat,” Mainieri said. “He’s playing mostly first base, catching about once a week. I think Chris is going to be one of our real leaders of the team this year.” Chinea’s increased play at first gives the Tigers more options in their infield with senior Conner Hale undoubtedly becoming an everyday starter for the team. Mainieri said there’s still a possibility for Hale to play at first, but he’s happy with the options he has at the position. “I feel very confident about catcher as well as first base,” Mainieri said. “We can still decide to throw Hale at first base if we so desire, so we have got options, and I’m excited about that.” You can reach Jack Chascin on Twitter @Chascin_TDR. than she anticipated but because of the program she’s succeeded for. “I’ve always been an LSU fan, so obviously it’s a big honor to put on an LSU jersey and represent LSU,” Smith said. It’s this passion and love for LSU that Flory said makes Smith special. “You have to have that player that has a true understanding of what it means to wear that uniform and the honor and the privilege. That’s Haley,” Flory said. “When you have that extra edge and that extra little push — that extra pride in wearing the uniform —things tend to be more important. She makes all those little things important. Those types of intangibles you can’t create. You either have them or you don’t, and she’s got them. Smith said she couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity Flory gave her two years ago, and she hopes to pay it forward in the future. She often goes back to her former team at Chalmette High School and other programs in the area and encourages athletes pursuing collegiate careers to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them. “I want to look back and know that I did my best for them and I did my best for the people that come after me,” Smith said. “I encourage them to do what you feel and do what you believe what you can do,” I made it here, so hopefully they will see that and look up to that and believe they can do the same.” You can reach Tyler Nunez on Twitter @Nunez_TDR.
beckwith, from page 5 Stadium, he had to yell at the top of his voice for his fellow defenders to hear the plays. “I had to keep putting water in my mouth and chew gum and stuff because my mouth was so dry,” Beckwith said. “I almost lost my voice. I had to be so loud.” Hilliard recalls bama Matchup With No. 3 Alabama on the horizon, senior running back Kenny Hilliard said he has fond memories of previous matchups against the Crimson Tide. “I remember the big block I made my freshman year,” Hilliard said. “It was an option play and [former LSU running back] Michael Ford ran down the sideline, and that was the play that led us down the field and made us able to kick the field goal and win.” Along with the historic rivalry between the two schools, LSU and Alabama will enter the game
Thursday, October 30, 2014 as ranked teams. Hilliard said he expects the stadium to be loud yet again and the atmosphere to be on the same level as past games against the Crimson Tide. “It’ll be the same kind of atmosphere as Ole Miss,” Hilliard said. “I think it’ll be 10 times worse for the opponent, just because it’s Alabama. It’s going to be great on our end. I can’t wait to get back in that stadium in front of our fans.” Offensive line embraces the run LSU sophomore offensive tackle Jerald Hawkins, a physical lineman by trade, said he enjoys blocking for running plays more than passes because he gets to hit the other team much harder. “I love it, that’s what works for us,” Hawkins said. “Getting down and getting physical, that’s what we love. As long as it keeps working, we’ll keep running it.” In the fourth quarter alone, the Tigers ran the ball 17 times on five drives, with 12 coming on
a single drive. Over the course of the game, LSU rushed 55 times and slowly tired out the Rebels’ defense. “We had Ole Miss worn down in the fourth quarter,” Hawkins said. “We just kept going at them until the end.” The Tigers picked up 264 yards on the ground with big performances from freshman running back Leonard Fournette and senior running back Terrence Magee. Looking ahead to Alabama, Hawkins said he believes the game plan won’t change much, and the Tigers will use the run heavily against the Crimson Tide’s stingy defense. “Running the ball gets into their head, especially when you get moving and driving downfield,” Hawkins said. “It wears them down, so that’s pretty much our plan.” You can reach Michael Haarala on Twitter @haarala_TDR.

‘Dear Great Pumpkin’
page 11 compiled by michael tarver mtarver@lsureveille.com
The Jefferson United Methodist Church Annual Pumpkin Patch has been treating rather than tricking the church congregation and the Baton Rouge community for almost five years. Pumpkin patch chairman Carol Bourgeois said the money raised by selling the pumpkins fund the various missions and mission trips the church supports. The pumpkins are raised on a Native American reservation in New Mexico and then are loaded on huge conveyors to be transported to the Baton Rouge patch. “I think we had something like 22,000 pounds of pumpkins this year,” Bourgeois said.

‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ Voodoo styles for men Women should consider comfy clothes during Voodoo can be cool and relaxed THE REAL MEG RYAN meg ryan Entertainment Writer While music is the most important aspect of Voodoo, fashion has to be a close second. Festivals give visitors the opportunity to try daring trends or dress up from the normal, day-to-day outfits. However, whatever outfits you plan to sport, make sure they’re comfortable. Try on what you’re considering, and
throw a little music festival in your bedroom. Walk, dance, sit — do everything you’ll probably be doing during Voodoo. Also, make sure to accessorize the outfit with comfortable shoes and noncumbersome jewelry. If the outfit passes the minifestival test, it should be a good fit for Voodoo. Next, don’t afraid to be daring. Voodoo lands on Halloween weekend, which means anything goes. If you want to wear a costume, do it. If you want to stick to what you’d normally

While clothing can be creative and fun, comfort should be the first thing to think about when planning a Voodoo outfit.
The hardest part of picking a wardrobe for a concert festival is finding the perfect mix of what looks good and what’s comfortable enough to wear in a group of sweaty, jumping people for several hours. Obviously, you want to be fashionable because a concert is a major social event. At the same time, there’s nothing worse than being hot and miserable when you’re trying to
enjoy a band that you’ve been looking forward to seeing all year. There are, however, a few ways in which a festivalgoer can maintain their sense of style while remaining cool and comfortable. This is particularly easy for men. Board shorts are one of the best options. These are swimsuit-style shorts, usually worn by surfers, that are a little less casual than typical swim trunks. Board shorts often have a lot of pattern and design options with front and back pockets for

‘Run The Jewels 2’ showcases controversy pardon my french Gerald Ducote Entertainment Writer To the joy of many fans, rap duo Killer Mike and El-P — better known as Run The Jewels — has released its second album, “Run The Jewels 2.” The album comes as a follow-up the 2013 debut “Run The Jewels.” “RTJ2” features numerous artists who perform on some of the album’s best tracks. With both albums being eponymous, the duo plays the rap game as a sort of advertising campaign. Run The Jewels is an essence, an unattainable state of hip-hop mastery. Each album furthers the concept of Run The Jewels being art for its own sake. Run The Jewels exists in a vacuum with itself, and it is the only artist it respects. This is all seen at a surface level. When you actually listen to “RTJ2,” you get something else entirely. You get what you paid for. The album’s first single is titled “Blockbuster Night Part 1.” The majority of this track shows Killer Mike and El-P reveling in the success of the first “RTJ.” Insulting artists who looked down on the debut, Killer Mike questions the production of other big albums and cites El-P as his one and only partner in hip-hop. Pop culture also runs a large thread through “Block-

buster.” In a verse concerning their rapping prowess, Killer Mike and El-P make references to They Might Be Giants, Isaac Newton and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman’s drug abuse. Arguably the best song on “RTJ2,” “Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)” features none other than Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine. De la Rocha’s most obvious contribution is an arresting hook at the beginning of the song. This song, covering issues from the riotous Rikers Island prison to waterboarding to the sexual abuse scandals within the Catholic Church, carries an overall theme of political activism, which has been asso-
ciated with de la Rocha since his days with Rage Against the Machine. De la Rocha’s verse acts as the apex of “Close Your Eyes.” In his signature fashion, he addresses racial profiling and the industrial breakdown of American commerce. “RTJ2” serves its purpose as another installment in what will hopefully be a long collaboration between Killer Mike and El-P. As Run The Jewels, the duo works quickly to deliver to its fans more fast-paced content with biting commentary on the rap world and the world in general. Run The Jewels makes music that both its members enjoy and that it hopes fans enjoy, too.

BY joshua jackson jjackson@lsureveille.com For 15 consecutive Halloween weekends, New Orleans has gotten a little stranger. The Voodoo Music and Arts Experience, formerly called the Voodoo Music Experience, consumes City Park for three days and features legendary musical acts, local food and art. But Voodoo is more than a festival. For many, it has become a part of the New Orleans culture and rivals the excitement built by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other big musical event, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. As of this year, it has hosted more than 2,000 and continues to attract people from all across the South for a weekend full of their favorite artists all in one place. Through hurricanes, fluctuating lineups and any other festival problems one could encounter, Voodoo has stood as a pivotal block of this Louisiana generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music culture. Thousands of people gather every year to enjoy and worship the music and respect the ritual that occurs every Halloween weekend. You can reach Joshua Jackson on Twitter @Joshua_Jackson_.

convenience. The best part? They keep you cool, and most people won’t even recognize the difference from a regular pair of shorts, especially in the dark and bustling crowd of a concert festival. Another easy way to stay fashionable at a concert is with a nice band T-shirt. Band shirts are a great way to connect with surrounding people and are often riddled with interesting, distinctive designs. However, be careful not to buy a shirt of a band you don’t know. There is nothing worse than being tested on the authenticity of your fandom when everyone in arms reach is a devoted follower. One of the quickest paths to misery at a concert festival is choosing the wrong pair of shoes. You don’t want to be caught wearing orthopediclooking shoes while everyone else is wearing stylish kicks, but you also don’t want to spend the next three days recovering from massive blisters. For men, the solution is simple: Double up. Wear two pairs of socks instead of the usual one pair. This will add an extra barrier to your feet so you can be free to jump up and down for hours without running the risk of serious consequences. It also will allow you to wear fancier, classier shoes as opposed to the Nike running shoes that don’t match your trendy outfit. Another footwear option is to embrace comfort shoes and perhaps style an outfit around them. For example, you could wear a pair of flashy basketball shoes that accent an otherwise boring ensemble. Voodoo is an almost-unparalleled concert because the date usually coincides with Halloween, and many people in attendance choose to dress up in their spooky garb. There is nothing wrong with having fun and adapting a costume as your festival wardrobe. However, if you choose to pull out all the stops and dress up, make sure you take into account the environment and dress accordingly. Like I said before, being miserably hot and uncomfortable at a concert can ruin the event. Whatever outfit you choose, make sure it has pockets that can securely button closed to prevent any possible theft. You would hate to miss out on a wonderful music experience because someone lifted your wallet on the way to the entrance.
wear, go for it, but dress it up a bit. Whether it’s a daring, trendy piece like a fur coat or a piece of statement jewelry, anything can work. Just remember to be memorable. Plenty of pictures will be taken, and you don’t want to be the person who wore a plain T-shirt and jeans all three days. If you’re going to go the costume route, steer toward

something cute or clever. Think about current celebrities, pop culture references, TV shows and movies, and use them as inspiration. If current isn’t how you want to go, try retro. Use classic clothing eras like the 1920s, ’50s and ’70s as outfit inspiration. The more creative the costume idea, the more you’ll stand out from the sea of school girls and superheroes. If you don’t plan to wear a
page 15 costume, there’s still plenty of ways to have fun with your outfits. Above all, use each day as an opportunity to dress differently. Choose one standout piece around which to plan your outfit, or plan each day as a theme. These can be based on the bands that are playing or just how you feel like dressing that day. For example, Outkast will
be playing the first day, and André 3000 is always dressed in wacky ensembles. Use his style as inspiration for your first-day outfit as well. However you decide to dress for Voodoo, each day will be an unforgettable blast. Meg Ryan is a 20-yearold mass communication sophomore from Philadelphia. You can reach her on Twitter @The_MegRyan.
Smaller superhero movies open doors for new audiences JACKSON SQUARE joshua jackson Entertainment Writer Earlier this week, Marvel held a press conference to unveil the dates and titles for the company’s upcoming films. The comic book giant plans to release 11 films, which will all connect, over a five-year span. Movies featuring well-known superheroes such as Captain America, Thor and Iron Man are expected to do well, but they cater to an already-established audience. To breathe new life into Marvel’s well-prospering film universe, the company has decided to create solo films for lesser-known heroes. Next year’s “Ant-Man” will present the first of many heroes making the leap to the silver screen. In short, Ant-Man is a hero who can shrink to the size of the implied insect and has enhanced strength. But a man with the powers of an ant can’t possibly be a hero, can he? Yes, he can, and to fully understand how, people must see
this movie. There’s a sense of curiosity surrounding a movie that sounds like it shouldn’t work, but thanks to a Marvel backing, it does. Another upcoming project, “Black Panther,” is the first black comic superhero in mainstream America. The name is bestowed upon the chief of a fictional African nation named Wakanda. After the heir to the throne, T’Challa, discovers his father has been murdered, he is forced to assume the role earlier than expected. We’ve had Will Smith in “Hancock,” and a black Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this will be the first time a movie focuses on a black comic book character. Unfortunately, I’ve heard people say “the superhero movies aren’t for black people,” as if color is the deciding factor in a superhero. This is a chance to prove those naysayers wrong and do so in a manner that will encourage viewing other superhero movies. This isn’t me promoting Marvel, though. They are just an example of success when superhero movies go right. Both Fox and Sony are creating superhero films in the next

few years that also should draw more viewers, such as “Aquaman,” “Wonder Woman” and “ The Flash.” The biggest assumption people have about the superhero genre is that they’re all the same — something big happens, and the main character saves the day. There is more depth to many comic book superheroes than there are to any leads in recent romantic comedies or dramas. Hopefully in the next 10 years, we can all say there’s been a movie made about our favorite superhero. Essentially, these film
companies are giving us twohour episodes of an excellent TV show and a new episode every few months. So when “Doctor Strange” comes out in 2016 or the femaleled “Captain Marvel” in 2017, if you haven’t read the comic books, be prepared for something different. These cinematic universes are expanding, and our minds should expand with them. Joshua Jackson is a 20-year-old theatre junior from New Orleans. You can reach him on Twitter @Joshua_Jackson_.

“I couldn’t agree more. This was an exciting win for LSU but there was no need to rush the field. I have been an LSU fan since I was a kid and I was in the stadium when everyone rushed the field when LSU beat #1 ranked Florida in 1997. Florida was a power house team in the 90’s and if I remember correctly LSU was less than mediocre and was suffering from a losing season. This was not case for last weekend. Both teams were ranked and its not like Ole Miss always beats LSU. It would be more reasonable to rush the field against Bama if LSU wins and I wouldn’t be surprised if the students rush the field for that game as well.” - bpetit6
JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
Rob Maness, Bill Cassidy and Mary Landrieu face off Wednesday in the last U.S. Senate candidate debate in the Holliday Forum.
In response to Justin Stafford’s column, “Despite low prices, Walmart hurts communities,” evosbu1 had this to say: “The superstore damages communities by crushing local businesses and paying low wages, as well as hindering the decrease of crime and contributing to obesity” [...] The simple fact is that small business are fundamentally the same as corporations, the only difference being that one is bigger than the other. If it were up to the ‘small business’, they would love to be the corporation. The very nature of capital is monopoly. And obesity happens because of people’s own fault. Freewill in any grand sense is of course a philosophical fraud, but with things as mundane as cheetos, chocolate, coke, french fries, fried food, yes you do have a choice as to whether or not to eat that garbage. You don’t solve the ills of liberalism by attacking consequences of liberalism. Liberalism itself must die.” - evosbu1

BLUE COLLAR SCHOLAR JUSTIN STAFFORD Columnist Supporters of Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., or Republican newcomer Rob Maness surrounded the steps of the Journalism Building at LSU last night for the final debate in the State’s U.S. Senate race. Away from the mass of people in political T-shirts, Libertarian candidate Brannon McMorris and a handful of his supporters held up simple handmade signs in the median of the traffic circle across the street. McMorris wasn’t invited to participate in the debate — an act that is symbolic of the limited exposure and separation third party candidates get. Landrieu made a joke about Cassidy not participating in previous debates. Meanwhile, McMorris showed up to a debate he wasn’t invited to. None of the candidates who were in the debate even gave a direct answer to a question. The moderator asked them several times to stay on topic. Mark Richard stood next to McMorris and held a neon poster with the message “Don’t Silence The Candidates” in bold black ink. “Candidates with money get in, and money shouldn’t determine who is in a campaign,” Richard, a member of the Libertarian Party of St. Mary
Parish, said. “The debate is held at LSU, which takes a lot of taxpayer’s dollars. By not allowing a third party candidate in, it’s the state shaping power and not the people.” Sam Muffoletto of the organization GeauxLibertarian said the party fought hard to get ballot access, and it wasn’t fair to not be in the debate. Debates are important in the U.S. political process because they allow more than one candidate to be present at a time; they aren’t scripted and draw a large number of viewers for a period of time. However, only the perspectives of large party frontrunners are voiced, but recognized third party candidates like McMorris are often excluded and remain in the shadows. By limiting the number of candidates allowed to present their ideas, voters are not knowledgeable and don’t know the candidates on the ballot. Since the first televised debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960, debates have become a useful opportunity for candidates and a deciding factor for voters. Because of this, more parties need to be represented so voters are informed. It’s wrong to walk up to a poll without knowing all the options. McMorris said it’s detrimental to not hear another perspective at a debate, and the top candidates from recognized parties should all have a say. “The public should hear more messages. It’s a focus on party service and not public service,”
Editorial Policies & Procedures
McMorris said. Last night’s debate consisted of a Democrat and two Republicans. Voters are more diverse than just the ideologies of two political parties. Exposure to different candidates shouldn’t be a two-sided coin. The people deserve to know who is out there and what they stand for. A change like a Libertarian candidate at a debate could help end the current game of Democrat and Republican tug of war. Austin Guidry, president of the Students for Sensible Drug Policy LSU chapter, was among those standing near McMorris. “It’s expanding people and perspectives. It reduces government and promotes the right to choose and forge one’s own path. This is the true meaning of liberty,” Guidry said in regards to allowing more candidates into a debate. The American people are diverse and differ greatly. If elected officials represent the people, then more sides need to be shown. This would incorporate more views and ideas, which would be beneficial. It also may lead more people to the polls on election day if they feel they have been fairly represented.

Online harassment shoud be taken more seriously OUR LADY OF ANGST
SIDNEYROSE REYNEN Columnist When someone says something mean to you on the Internet, most people will tell you to ignore it. But if an anonymous stranger came up to you on the street and shouted hurtful expletives at you, would you be expected to turn the other cheek? Some may call this “trolling” — where an Internet commenter’s goal is simply to annoy — and tell us not to take it personally. Dismissing this activity as trolling, however, avoids the issue at hand. Was it trolling when Anita Sarkeesian was forced to leave her home because strangers on the Internet kept threatening her life? Let’s call this stuff what it really is — online harassment. Last week, nonpartisan
research center Pew released a study detailing online harassment and who is usually on either end of it. The study also outlines two different types of online harassment, although the two types often overlap. The first type includes simple name-calling or on-purpose embarrassment, the kind we’re likely to ignore. However, the second category is more severe and affects a smaller percentage of the online public. This category includes the rare but scary instances that include threats of physical violence, sustained harassment, sexual harassment and even stalking. After reading the description of the categories, I easily could predict the rest of the research’s findings. According to Pew, men are more likely to fall victim to the first, less severe type of online harassment, while young women are “particularly vulnerable” to the latter. While both men and women
are called names and physically threatened at about equal rates, young women are more likely to be sexually harassed and stalked online. Just like in the real world, women often are judged more harshly for what they do or say on the Internet. As a female opinion columnist, I’ve been called out for more than just my opinion before. Not only have my female colleagues and I been compared to screaming primates, we’ve also been targeted for our race, body size and appearance. What does this say about the Western world’s new frontier? If the Internet is responsible for creating environments where vicious, often anonymous harassment is commonplace and to be expected, why do we glorify its presence in our lives so much? Some might say these are “real world” tendencies that just so happen to seep into the world wide web. But I’d argue that the “real world” versions of these
crimes aren’t usually ignored in the same way they are ignored on the web. We’ve invented terms like “trolling” and even “cyberbullying,” which usually are just code words for “Can’t you just close your laptop and ignore them?” We dismiss Internet commenters as being the lowest of low, whose words shouldn’t have any weight. We act like it’s easy to ignore anonymous commenters harassing us or comparing us to overweight farm animals, but it really isn’t. The Pew study stated that “those who exclusively experience less severe forms of harassment report fewer emotional or personal impacts, while those with more severe harassment experiences often report more serious emotional tolls.” Thus, you can deduce that men, the demographic that falls victim to things like name-calling, aren’t really affected by online harassment, but women, the victims of sexual harassment and stalking, are usually pretty
shaken up by it. Could this be why Internet culture is so dismissive of online harassment? Crimes that specifically target women, such as street harassment and even rape, are often the crimes that go unreported and unsolved. If women aren’t taken seriously when they’ve been brutally assaulted, how do you think people will take them if they’ve just been sent a couple scary emails? The Internet doesn’t have to be some sort of pristine realm where we are all required by law to play nice, but we do need to evaluate why we’ve grown so apathetic about the scary phenomena of online harassment. Next time you’re thinking about stalking someone on Facebook, try sharing a cute cat video instead. SidneyRose Reynen is a 19-year-old film and media arts sophomore from New Orleans.

Thursday, October 30, 2014 library, from page 1 of thousands of e-books and e-journals in addition to the print copies on the shelves. While those numbers can be daunting, Kelsey said she wants students to understand the advantages of starting a search at the library instead of online. “I want students to know how much we can help them succeed with their studies,” Kelsey said. The first open house was held in February 2014, and positive student reactions
prompted its return. Many seniors never use the resources offered by the libraries despite being funded by their tuition dollars, Kelley said, so LSU Libraries hopes to make the event an annual occurrence that attracts incoming freshmen as well as upperclassmen. Mechanical engineering sophomore Elaine Turk said the open house was informative. While visiting each station, she said she learned she could get a master’s degree in
The Daily Reveille business and that Hill Memorial Library was open to all students. Hill Memorial Library houses the libraries’ Special Collections, which include rare books, old newspapers, diaries, photographs and ledgers. Tara Laver, curator of manuscripts for Hill Memorial, said many undergraduates think Special Collections are just for graduate students and faculty, but that’s not the case. She said the library open house
page 19 is a great way to put a face to the name, so students will be less hesitant to come in. The LSU Law Library is similarly underutilized by undergraduates, said Travis Williams, metadata librarian and archivist. “A lot of the undergraduates don’t know we exist and our resources and space are available for them to use,” he said. Williams said he hopes the event raises awareness of the
law library’s reputation as the “quiet alternative” to Middleton. Spanish and international studies freshman Julianna Holt said she was glad the library offered this program. She said there were many things, including the Gear2Geaux program, that she had never heard about before attending. “The open house is great for anyone who isn’t familiar with the library,” Holt said.
