Congress to vote on Keystone pipeline

feeling, man.”

One week after the emotional defeat, No. 20 LSU (7-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) will go into a hostile environment in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for a game seemingly set up for it to fail.

To rebound, the Tigers will have to put it behind them and focus on their upcoming contest against a pesky Arkansas squad.

“It’s an immediate bounce back,” said senior center Elliott Porter. “We have a game on Saturday ... It was a tough pill to swallow, but

Congress’ upcoming votes on the Keystone XL pipeline will not affect Louisiana’s Senate runoff despite the national attention now directed to the race, said University political science professor James Garand.

After arrivLandrieu ing in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 12 for the start of Congress’ lame duck session, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., called for a vote to approve the pipeline — a 1,179-mile development that would transport oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

The pipeline has been a major factor in the Senate race, with both candidates expressing their support for the project.

In response to Landrieu’s bill, House Republicans announced a vote on an almost identical bill sponsored by Landrieu’s opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy,

Tigers look to bounce back after emotional loss BY tyler nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com

After every game, the LSU football team implements a 48-hour rule. Players have two days to reflect on their previous game, win or lose, before they are required to put it behind them and shift their focus to their next opponent.

Many players suffered the most gutwrenching loss of their careers in last Saturday’s 20-13 overtime loss to No. 4 Alabama.

That rule was harder to follow this week.

“I couldn’t sleep after the game,” said LSU sophomore defensive back Tre’Davious White. “I didn’t sleep until 3 a.m., and I woke up at 6 a.m. thinking about it. It was a sick

Kitchens on the Geaux to host hunger awareness week

BY Kaci Cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com

For students, topics of homelessness and hunger will be food for thought during the University’s observance of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week from Nov. 16 to 22.

Kitchens on the Geaux, a University organization that works year-round to increase the awareness of food insecurity within the Baton Rouge community, is sponsoring the week’s events.

KOTG collects donations and sends leftover food items to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank from the Lod Cook Alumni Center, businesses like Chipotle Mexican Grill and LSU Dining.

During NHHA Week, the organization will be sponsoring sock and toiletry

drives in conjunction with Baton Rouge Parents Magazine, round table discussions about hunger and homelessness, a Hunger Banquet and volunteering opportunities at GBRFB and St. Vincent de Paul.

Sociology sophomore Sarah Corie, programs director for KOTG, coordinated the week’s events. She said this year’s celebration of NHHA Week will be similar to previous years’ celebrations — only the schedule of events will change.

“We will have service opportunities and educational events for students, LSU community members and the general public,” Corie said. “Following tradition, we will kick off the week by

California cat café is catnip for feline fans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, Calif. — Cat lovers in Northern California are pouncing at the chance of spending time with feline company at a new cat cafe in Oakland.

Cat Town Cafe is giving dozens of visitors a chance to mingle with furry friends while sipping coffee and nibbling on cat-themed cookies.

The cafe opened last month and has been full since opening day. It was inspired by the cat cafe craze in Japan, where many people live in cramped high-rise apartments that don’t allow pets.

While making feline friends became popular therapy for lonely or anxious workers in Japan, the Oakland coffee shop puts the focus on the animals.

The tuxedo, orange tabby and Siamese cats napping or stretching in the sun in Cat Town come from a local shelter and are available for adoption.

“Most of them have been at the shelter for four months or more. So as much as this is a super fun experience, it’s really a mission-driven project

A number of women play and photograph cats Nov. 6 at the Cat Town Cafe in Oakland, Calif. to get the cats out of the shelter and into great homes,” said Ann Dunn, founder of Cat Town Oakland, a nonprofit group that helps place cats least likely to be adopted from the Oakland Animal Shelter.

She said there were 14 adoptions in their first 12 days.

For a $10 donation to the organization, visitors get one hour of kitty company in the cafe, where they can play with

felines, scratch their backs and watch them nap. Each person is given a designated window of time to make sure there are not too many people at once in the room painted with cartoon-like, bright murals of cats.

Cat naps are very popular at the cafe, but Christina Souza, who visited on a recent afternoon, didn’t seem to mind.

“I think it’s fun. It’s great.

It’s exciting,” Souza said.

“Why not have more venues where cats can let out their fun personalities?”

Cat cafes are now open in London, Vienna and Paris, and Cat Town’s founders believe their coffee shop is the first of its kind in the United States.

That may change soon — a half dozen cat cafes are set to open in the U.S. next year, most of them along the West Coast.

Condemned inmate on food strike over kosher diet

Sign up at www.lsureveille.com/gumbo

HARTFORD, Conn. — A Connecticut inmate awaiting execution for his role in the killings of a woman and her two daughters says he is refusing to eat prison food that he believes is not kosher.

Steven Hayes sued the Department of Correction in August, alleging it would not serve him a kosher diet. He filed an amended complaint on Nov. 7, which was made public on Wednesday, detailing what he describes as “extreme weight loss.”

Hayes and another man, Joshua Komisarjevsky, were sentenced to die for the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela, at the family’s home in Cheshire. The victims were tied up, two of them were sexually assaulted and their bodies were found after the home was set on fire. Hawke-Petit’s husband, Dr. William Petit, was severely beaten but survived.

Hayes describes himself in the lawsuit as an Orthodox Jew and says he’s been requesting a kosher diet since May 2013. He says he has suffered “almost two years of emotional injury from having to choose between following God and starving or choosing sin to survive.”

complaint, Hayes says he hasn’t eaten any nonkosher food since Aug. 24, and now weighs less than 120 pounds. State prison documents show the 5-foot-7 Hayes weighed 170 pounds in 2007.

Karen Martucci, a spokeswoman for the Correction Department, said Hayes has denied to prison officials that he is on a hunger strike. She said she could not comment on the lawsuit, but she said inmates with religious issues are offered what is known as “common fare” meals which “meet all nutritional requirements and accommodate recognized religious dietary restrictions.”

Hayes contends the kosher food brought into the prison is contaminated during the preparation in the use of pots, pans, preparation surfaces and appliances that also are used to cook nonkosher food.

He said the department does not have a “reliable orthodox certification that ‘guarantees’ with certainty that the food and process is kosher.” He writes that his religion requires “strict adherence, not close enough.”

Hayes also alleges he has been the subject of other religious discrimination in prison and was placed on a suicide watch for observing a fast during the Yom Kippur holiday last year.

Volunteer LSU restores first African- Funds to be collected for American cemetery in Baton Rouge hospitalized LSUPD officer BY jayce genco jgenco@lsureveille.com Hurricane Gustav made landfall on Sept. 1, 2008, near Cocodrie, Louisiana, as a category two hurricane after ravaging islands in the Gulf of Mexico. According to hurricanescience.org, in the City of Baton Rouge, “Damage was so significant that the entire city was shut down for several days, and it took four months to finalize debris cleanup.”

Sweet Olive Cemetery, said to be one of the first African-American cemeteries in Baton Rouge, was damaged heavily by the storm and left in ruin.

Maria Munoz, beautification and restoration chair for Volunteer LSU, has plans to involve the community to reverse the effects of the environment on Sweet Olive.

Volunteer LSU, along with a coalition of 52 students, will try to take back the cemetery from the elements on Saturday. The group will have another cemetery restoration at the Lutheran Cemetery on Nov. 22.

“The tree roots have just kind of taken over a lot of the tombs,” Munoz said. “There’s a lot of tree limbs in the way and, personally, I think it’s really important to pay our respects to the community that is involved there.”

Munoz, a landscape architecture senior, wants to tackle the overgrown roots and weeds during these next two restorations to make way for volunteers to paint the tombs for subsequent restorations.

“Although we go out there and clean, the environment is the environment,” Munoz said. “It’s going to keep over growing with the time between each cemetery

She said Facility Services is going to Sweet Olive today with heavy machinery to get rid of limbs and roots that have taken over the tombs, some of which are open.

“The idea of it can be creepy, but when you’re out there, there is a sense of community that really overwhelms you,” Munoz said. “It really makes it worth it in the end.”

John Lewis, computer engineering sophomore and Volunteer LSU participant, said one of the problems at Sweet Olive is the

overgrowth of weeds and grass.

He said the grass is around six feet tall.

“The grass is taller than we are,” Lewis said.

Lewis has been to Sweet Olive four times for restoration and said it’s important to clean up the area and pay respects to the people buried there.

“It means a lot to me because oftentimes people forget about the history of our country. It’s important that we preserve landmarks of our history,” Lewis said.

“We need to respect and preserve the memory of the people that have passed.”

Students to receive rings Sunday

BY deanna narveson dnarveson@lsureveille.com

Mike VI will stand guard for this year’s class rings Saturday night, pacing and protecting graduating students’ golden momentos through the night before they are bestowed on future graduate’s fingers by Miss LSU and the costumed Mike the Tiger.

This semester’s two ring ceremonies will be held in the Student Union Theater at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday. Students receiving rings are categorized by last name.

According to the University’s website, class rings are a way to memorialize the college experience and are awarded only to graduates, students with at least 75 credit hours and graduate students who have taken at least 18 hours.

The design of the traditional University class ring depicts magnolia leaves, the campus’ oak trees, the Memorial Tower, a tiger’s eye and the University gates. They are priced depending on the metal used, gemstones added and size of the ring, which is selected by each student according to the University’s Balfour website.

The prices range from about $410 to $1,725. Students can choose from different styles, some larger than others.

Danielle Walker, a mass communication senior receiving her ring on Sunday, said her ring is important to her both because of her college memories and because her mom and dad didn’t attend college.

“I think its a good keepsake; even after graduation I’m still going to wear it,” Walker said.

“I got my name engraved on the

inside. When I was choosing it I wanted it to be traditional-looking, but not too bulky.”

Rachel Bourgeois, marketing freshman, said she didn’t know college graduates got class rings.

“I thought it was only a high school thing, “ Bourgeois said.

For Paige Bahnsen, sports administration senior, her class ring represents all the hard work she put in to earn her degree. She said she decided to get a ring because she didn’t get a high school class ring.

Bahnsen said a ring is a way to take her time at the University with her wherever she ends up after graduation.

“I look down at it and see all the memories, all the late nights, all the hard work and fun things,” Bahnsen said.

“LSU has my heart and it will always be with me.”

Former Arab League Ambassador speaks to University students BY savanah dickinson sdickinson@lsureveille.com Former Arab League Ambassador to the U.S. and United Nations Clovis Maksoud presented his theory of global paradox to University students and staff Nov. 13.

Bienville House and the University’s International Studies Program sponsored Maksoud’s lecture, “The Paradox of a Globalized and Fragmented World. Case Study: The Arab World.”

The purpose of Maksoud’s lecture was to test his theory and build upon it with the hope of one day writing a book.

Maksoud, a Lebanese national born in 1928, served as the Chief Representative of the League of

Arab States to India and Southeast Asia from 1961 to 1966. In 1979, Maksoud was appointed the Arab League’s Chief Representative to the U.S. and the U.N., before resigning in 1990.

Maksoud’s paradox shows a globalized and fragmented world. He said globalization has brought the people of the world closer together, allowing instant communication.

However, the world is becoming a more divided place along political borders and sectarian and religious lines, Maksoud said.

Fragmentation is occurring between and within countries.

Globalization should encourage a multicultural world, Maksoud said, instead of a pluralistic one as he sees now. Diversity

should be celebrated rather than splintered.

“Today, the challenge is how do we face and confront the fragmentation that globalization has brought to human kind,” Maksoud said.

Maksoud has been working to solve this paradox since his heated debate before the U.N. Security Council with now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu accused Maksoud of being anti-Jewish. Maksoud lashed back, asking for Netanyahu’s statement to be struck from the record.

“Judaism is part of my heritage, a part of my religious beliefs, a part of my Christian beliefs, a part of my Islamic culture,” Maksoud said. “Don’t tell

me I’m anti-Jewish.”

He said the Israeli Palestinian conflict is an issue of international concern.

Maksoud said 134 nations recognize Palestine as a state, and yet the U.S. still refuses.

“It is imperative that the world’s conscience is awakened,” Maksoud said.

Maksoud encourages western countries to remain active in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, but “in the right way.” The U.S. cannot resign from its influence in the world, but the U.S.’s close ties to Israel cannot disrupt international relations.

Maksoud said the only way to heal the wounds inflicted on the Palestinian people is to grant them a secular, democratic state.

“There is no such thing as a two state system,” Maksoud said.

Maksoud said other Arab countries can aid the IsraeliPalestinian issue by resolving their own issues such as granting women more power in society, raising educational standards and bringing about democracy.

“As Arabs, we are a rich nation of poor people,” Maksoud said.

To begin resolving the paradox, Maksoud said Arab nations must first empower women, combat poverty and improve the quality of life of their citizens.

“These are challenges that have to be faced, confronted before it’s too late, before fragmentation undermines the profits of globalization,” Maksoud said.

University partnership brings Wikipedia into curriculum

BY Rose velazquez rvelazquez@lsureveille.com Wikipedia, the popular Internet encyclopedia, is making its way into classrooms with a new purpose.

Through a partnership with the Wiki Education Foundation, Communication across the Curriculum is working to incorporate Wikipedia into courses in various academic departments.

In high school, many students were discouraged from using Wikipedia for research assignments, said Melissa Thompson, CxC student development coordinator. While Wikipedia isn’t intended to be used as a primary source, the Wiki Education Foundation emphasizes that Wikipedia can be used as a tertiary source.

“It is a great way to learn about something, and then you can definitely use the citations at the bottom that are primary resources to help you with your assignments in school,” Thompson said.

On Nov. 5 and 6, CxC held the University’s first Wikipedia Palooza, a series of workshops educating students, faculty and communication professionals on everything from the benefits of using Wikipedia in the classroom to advanced editing.

Thompson said the University has been partnered with the Wiki Education Foundation for several years now.

While there are some science courses already utilizing Wikipedia, she said CxC wants to invite all academic disciplines to incorporate it into their coursework.

University Wikipedia Ambassadors are currently working with faculty members to develop Wikipedia-based assignments to suit their courses,

Thompson said. Rather than writing a research paper as a final assignment, a student may be able to edit, contribute to or create a Wikipedia page.

In addition to the available Wikipedia Ambassadors, Thompson said each CxC studio is staffed with trained mentors who can provide additional Wikipedia support outside of the classroom. Studios are located in Coates Hall, the Design Building, the Business Education Complex, Patrick F. Taylor Hall and the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.

CxC College of Science and School of Coast and Environment coordinator Becky Carmichael received the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador training in spring 2011. Since then, she has taught two classes that utilized Wikipedia and has been personally involved in providing Wikipedia support for 18 classes.

“Just like anything, like writing a paper or giving a presentation, your objective is to have your students learn content and gain confidence in their ability to express that content or teach that content,” Carmichael said.

Carmichael approaches Wikipedia as a tool to expand students’ understanding of the course content by editing and adding to an existing page or creating a new page.

“I wanted, in my class, to be able to have students learn science and learn disturbance ecology but to translate some things that might be complex processes or mechanisms into a language that a broad audience could understand,” Carmichael said.

Using Wikipedia can teach students to write more clearly and concisely and accept criticisms that help them

better their writing, Carmichael said. Through the Wikipedia talk pages, a discussion page linked to each article, students learn to work in a group setting with editors they will likely never meet and to resolve issues over conflicting commentary.

Students also learn how to critically evaluate the legitimacy of primary resources and are encouraged to work more diligently on the assignment.

“The weight of the assignment is much more because you know that anybody could read this,” Thompson said.

“It’s not just your professor reading it for a final assignment and a grade in the class.”

Thompson said students are more likely to begin the assignment early and spend time and effort creating quality content because of the added pressure.

Kinesiology sophomore Shyrece Celestine, a Wikipedia Palooza presenter, began using Wikipedia in her coursework when she took Carmichael’s HNRS 1035 course, natural disturbances and society. Prior to taking the course, Celestine said she had only used Wikipedia as a reference.

Celestine said she improved her research skills and learned how to input and edit content through the class. She said the fact that Carmichael and other editors were able to modify and provide feedback directly to her article throughout the course of the assignment was beneficial to the process.

“My favorite part about it was the fact that my work doesn’t get thrown away,” Celestine said. “It’s there to be used by other people, and I can reference it again if I need to.”

Halting the Hogs Defense prepares for powerful Arkansas rushing attack

BY MICHAEL HAARALA mhaarala@lsureveille.com After shutting down a strong Alabama running game in LSU’s 17-10 overtime loss last weekend, the Tiger defense is preparing to face another strong rushing attack from Arkansas.

Arkansas (4-5, 0-5 Southeastern Conference) has established itself as a premier power running team in the SEC. With one of the biggest offensive lines in the conference and nation, with

two 800+ yard rushers in junior running back Jonathan Williams and sophomore Alex Collins, the Razorbacks pose problems for the LSU defense.

“They’ve got an offensive line that averages around 6-foot-6, 320 pounds, so we really have to beef up this week and get a couple extra meals in,” said sophomore defensive tackle

CONNOR TARTER / The Daily Reveille

Tigers looking forward to season opener

BY JACK CHASCIN jchascin@lsureveille.com On Saturday, the LSU men’s basketball team will take the court ready to get its 2014-15 season underway.

After a big second half against Morehouse College on Nov. 7, the Tigers are set to tip off against Big South Conference opponent Gardner-Webb at noon Saturday in the PMAC. “We look forward to the start of the season this Saturday,” said LSU coach Johnny Jones. “We’ve done a great job of getting better, attention to detail and making some strides.

We’re excited to get this season started. We understand these games count and we know our guys are itching for their opportunity.”

The Tigers showcased their new squad for the first time against Morehouse College, showing glimmers of hope with sophomore Jarell Martin scoring 22 points and seven rebounds en route to a 71-47 victory.

LSU held its exhibition game opponent to 22.9 percent shooting, and Morehouse College made just 19 of 83 shots.

While the Tigers took care of Morehouse College in rather easy fashion, they struggled on the boards. The Tigers were outrebounded 66-46, giving the team a cause for concern heading into Saturday.

The Tigers’ coaching staff emphasized that during practice to make sure the Tigers

Lady Tigers begin regular season play with game against UALR BY morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com When the LSU women’s basketball team steps onto the floor for its regular season opener today, the sun will be shining brightly outside, and the PMAC will be filled with the din of thousands of young Tiger fans.

The Lady Tigers will open the 2014-15 season with their annual “Field Trip” game against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock at 11:30 a.m. in the PMAC. “We’re probably going to have over 3,000 elementary kids here in the stands coming to support our team,” said LSU coach Nikki Caldwell. “I’m really excited about the connection that our marketing team has made with our community to allow them to come in and watch a very quality basketball game.”

LSU welcomes UALR to Baton Rouge for the first time.

After the Lady Tigers beat the Trojans, 58-51, away from home last season, LSU hopes to extend its lead to 2-0 in the all-time record against UALR. Last season, the Lady Tigers struggled to stop the Trojans’ then-junior guard Taylor Gault, who led UALR with 12 points and four assists. “[Gault is] another year seasoned, and last year she set the tone,” Caldwell said. “I think that when you play a player like Gault, you’re going to have to limit her touches. Awareness is going to be key and knowing where she’s at all times on the floor.”

On the court, the Lady Tigers are a different team than the Trojans faced last season. Without former-forwards Shanece McKinney and Theresa Plaisance, the Lady Tigers lack size defending the paint, yet LSU makes up for it with speed and athleticism on the defensive end.

In their two exhibition games, the Lady Tigers’ press defense excelled at forcing turnovers with an average of 35 turnovers per game.

“I like the mobility of our team,” Caldwell said. “I like the fact that we’re able to do a lot of different things in our defensive scheme — 94 feet from the basket. We’re going to be able to press more. We’re going to be able to trap more because we’re going to have quickness out of the rotation.”

Offensively, the Lady Tigers’ versatility creates a dynamic offensive attack in transition and in the half-court set.

“It’s going to be a great battle on Friday, and it’s definitely going to be a game of who establishes their running game, who establishes their transition and really gets out there and scores,” Caldwell said.

LSU’s offense this season depends heavily on the play of the guards.

Freshman guard Jenna Deemer led LSU in scoring in both exhibitions with a combined 40 points, including shooting 70 percent from behind the 3-point-line. After suffering an ACL tear to end last season, sophomore guard Raigyne Moncrief has come back in the Lady Tigers’ exhibitions

playing hard and forcing turnovers. Moncrief recorded eight steals in LSU’s exhibitions, despite only playing a combined 51 minutes.

Moncrief said after the Loyola exhibition, her first game in eight months, that she didn’t think about her knee once.

After the game today, the Lady Tigers will play again against Sam Houston State at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in the PMAC. “We’re going to have some nerves,” said junior guard Anne Pedersen. “We have to know that we know our stuff and have been preparing for all summer. So we’re ready.”

LSU looks to extend winning streak

BY BRIAN PELLERIN bpellerin@lsureveille.com The LSU volleyball team will get two more chances to extend its 10-game winning streak against Tennessee and Mississippi State this weekend, but the biggest challenge for the Tigers might be in their heads.

LSU (15-7, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) already has played Tennessee and Mississippi State during the Tigers’ current winning streak, defeating both teams three sets to none.

Also, the Lady Volunteers (8-19, 1-12 SEC) and Bulldogs have a combined conference record of 2-24 and are riding a combined 10-match losing streak entering Friday.

LSU coach Fran Flory said not overlooking either team will be critical to the Tigers’ success this weekend, but freshman outside hitter Mimi Eugene said they don’t take any matches for granted.

“Being that we’ve played Tennessee and Mississippi State already, it’s not like we’re going to go in like, ‘Oh, we won already so it should be easy,’” Eugene said. “We’re going to keep the same mindset of accomplishing our goals for each match to make sure that we overcome and keep winning.”

The biggest test of the two may come on Sunday when LSU travels to Starkville.

The Bulldogs (6-22, 1-12 SEC) have pulled off many big upsets at home before, Flory said, and almost beat the Tigers the last two times they’ve played there.

NEW SEASON, from page 5 are better adjusted and ready to rebound when the lights get brighter Saturday.

“We didn’t do a great job of rebounding the basketball, which is something we had to address since then,” Jones said.

“I’m glad that we were able to do that. It was just a matter of attention to detail with that.”

Last season, the Tigers outrebounded their opponents by a total of 1334-1240, an average of 39.2-36.5. The loss of Johnny O’Bryant III to the NBA proved to be an issue for the Tigers because of his contribution on the boards.

O’Bryant averaged 7.7 rebounds per game, which was second on the team during the 2013-14 season. While the 6-foot-9-inch forward is now utilizing his talents at the professional level, sophomore forward Jordan Mickey said there’s no excuse to be outrebounded with the current team’s size.

Mickey said the biggest reason for the Tigers’ struggles on the boards was their lack of focus against Morehouse College, and he said it’ll be fixed

LSU women’s volleyball player Briana Holman (13) returns the ball in LSU’s game against Georgia at the PMAC on Oct. 26.

Flory said Mississippi State is just a different team when they’re at home.

“We’ve gotten our backs against the wall there a ton, down to match point and battled back and won,” Flory said. “At Mississippi State is always a challenge for every team in the league. Serving and passing in that building is a challenge.

They dig a ton of balls. They’re very comfortable.”

The Tigers get a chance to play at 7:30 p.m. tonight in their own comfortable setting against Tennessee. Flory said the Lady Volunteers are playing better than they did when the Tigers traveled to Knoxville a month ago.

“I think we’ve got to be ready for a dogfight for sure,” Flory said. “Tennessee is a much-

improved team from the one we played in Knoxville. They’ve stabilized their lineup. They have some people that are really playing very well. [Freshman outside hitter] Kendra Turner is one of them, a Louisiana native from right down the road. I’m sure she’ll have a big contingent.”

But Flory said she hopes the biggest contingent in the PMAC is the home crowd.

“I’m super hopeful that we have a nice crowd,” Flory said.

“Only three more times you get to see this team. I pushed a lot of groups [to come to the match], and hopefully people will want to see this level of volleyball and hopefully we can provide a nice high level of volleyball for them.”

come Saturday. “[Rebounding] has been a point of emphasis this week,” Mickey said. “It’s definitely just an effort thing. We thought we could just outjump everyone and that wasn’t the case, so we’re just going to have to box people out.”

The Tigers come into Saturday with new faces in the backcourt in junior guards Keith Hornsby and Josh Gray. Both Gray and Hornsby are transfers who got their first live action on the court together against Morehouse College.

Gray said while they had practiced together for a while, it was a different thing to go out under the bright lights and play side by side.

“It was kind of unexpected going into that game,” Gray said. “It was kind of new for us, and we needed that so it could prepare us so when we come out on Saturday we kind of have a feeling where the guys like the ball, how to pass it to them and things like that. We needed that exhibition game to prepare us for Saturday’s game.”

Hornsby said after the Morehouse College game, he

came out overly excited to play in front of the Tiger fans for the first time. Both Gray and Hornsby said the exhibition helped them prepare for the atmosphere they’ll experience Saturday.

The biggest concern for the duo heading into Saturday will be its ability to play under control and getting its taste of regular season action together for the first time. But Gray said he believes it won’t be an issue going forward.

“We’re all disciplined, so it’s not like we’re going out there and playing all out of control and playing wild,” Gray said.

“We’re all disciplined, we all have one goal and that kind of disciplines us to be in order and be in place.”

The Tigers begin their road to the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, and while many questions remain as the season gets under way, one thing is for certain.

“These guys are eager and excited about getting out there,” Jones said. “They have an edge.”

page 7 Collins will take the starting spot of sophomore cornerback Rashard Robinson, who is suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.

Collins was lined up against Alabama junior wide receiver and Heisman candidate Amari Cooper. He was able to hold Cooper to 83 yards on 10 catches, his second fewest receiving yards of the season.

To bounce back from the overtime loss against Alabama, Collins said the Tigers will have to stick to their gameplan and continue to build on what they have already accomplished as a defensive unit this season.

“We just have to do what we’ve been doing, just refocus and put the past in the past. We just have to work to beat Arkansas,” Collins said. “We’ve overcome adversity many times this season. It shouldn’t be hard for us to do it again.”

With the Tigers out of the SEC West title race, LSU will be playing for two things — a bid to an elite bowl game and its pride. To junior linebacker Lamar Louis, the game will be the culmination of his entire season and a time to show off the skills he worked on throughout the offseason.

“I like going up against a run like Arkansas because you get to show off what you’ve been doing all summer,” Louis said.

“You get to show your strength, your training, your running and just being physical. It’s oldschool football, pretty much the football we’ve been playing since we were young. I love games like this.”

DEFENSIVE LINE, from page 5 Christian LaCouture. “Playing Arkansas will be just like playing Alabama. We know they’ve got Collins and Williams back there who are great runners, and [junior quarterback] Brandon Allen can throw the ball too.”

Against Alabama, the Tigers held the Crimson Tide to 106 rushing yards on 29 attempts, their second lowest rushing game of the season. Arkansas is 19th in the nation in total running yards with 2,234 and 12th in the nation in yards per carry with 5.74.

In order to stifle Arkansas’ talented running attack, LSU has to start strong.

“We had some things we needed to fix, communication and things like that. We’re all on the same page now. We’re clicking,” LaCouture said.

Early in the season, the communication problems took their toll on the Tigers. In their first three Power 5 conference games against Wisconsin, Mississippi State and Auburn, the Tigers gave up 868 yards.

Since that point, LSU has given up only 437 total rushing yards. Although improved at stopping the run, the Tigers must stay on their toes when they step into Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium Saturday night.

“From what I’ve seen from them this year, they’re definitely a hungry team,” said junior cornerback Jalen Collins.

“They took Alabama down to the wire and have had some pretty close games in the SEC this year, so I wouldn’t expect anything less from this game.”

Jindal’s presidential hopes a delusional fantasy But he means well gordon brillon Opinion Editor Bobby Jindal must be one hell of a backroom guy.

How else could his continued success in politics be explained? He’s a pretty average-looking guy, not blessed with any great charisma or oratory prowess. His one-note, pro-business agenda has gotten him a good run with the Louisiana electorate, but he’s never seemed like much of an idea man.

For a long time, his blandness and Indian heritage made him a valuable asset to an overwhelmingly white Republican Party, desperate to appear modern but still appease its conservative base. It even got him a chance at almost, maybe running for vice president

on John McCain’s ticket in 2008.

But in his head, Jindal must have gotten his usefulness to his party confused with actual ability and appeal as a leader, because all signs indicate he’s gearing up for a run at the presidency.

A collaborative investigation between NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and WVUE found Jindal spent millions of dollars in campaign funds in the past few years, including $150,000 in travel costs, despite the fact he can’t run for a third term as governor.

All this cross-country jet-setting certainly suggests he is trying to put his name out there for a presidential run, and Jindal himself said he won’t consider running for a political office other than the presidency.

Never mind the fact Jindal’s use of state campaign funds to lead into a federal campaign is, in a NOLA.com writer’s words, an “evasion of the spirit — if not the letter” of campaign law. Does

Jindal really think he has a chance at winning the presidency?

For the last several years, he’s been more focused on showing his face on the sidelines at every Republican rally and tea party than addressing the issues facing the state.

Louisiana is basically a public health disaster, nearing the top of the charts for HIV/AIDS, diabetes and obesity. But for Jindal, it’s more politically expedient for him to distance himself from anything to do with President Barack Obama and healthcare, so he turned down millions of dollars to expand the state’s Medicaid program.

But you can’t say Jindal hasn’t brought some benefits to the state.

His pro-business policies and tax cuts have made it easier than ever to start and run a business in the state. If that means the state can’t afford to run a couple of hospitals or hire new teachers, well, that’s the just the price of good

business, right?

The tax credits for the entertainment industry he’s overseen have brought a new industry with plenty of jobs and state revenue and an improved national profile.

Twenty years ago, when people thought of Louisiana, they thought of corrupt politicians and KKK members running for governor. Now, they think Phil Robertson and the “Choot ‘Em” guy. I guess that’s an improvement.

It’s been pretty obvious for a while that Jindal has been angling for a run at the Oval Office, but he’s long since alienated the people of his home state — on whom he should be able to rely.

At one point, Jindal looked like a rising star of the Republicans. But at this point, he’s more of a burnout.

Runoff elections show greater need for informed voting No way Jose jose bastidas Columnist You walk into the voting booth during the midterm elections. You vote for the candidate of your choice for the “important” positions.

But admit it — for every other election on the ballot, you most likely pick an option at random or pick the representative with the coolest name.

But when it comes to the Lafayette Parish School Board representatives, voters have to ensure they are making an informed decision because the Nov. 4 elections, like with the U.S. Senate and 6th Congressional District races, ended in a runoff.

“Coach Don” Gagnard and Mary Morrison will face off on Dec. 6 to represent District 1 in the Lafayette Parish School Board. The power to decide who wins lies with voters within the district, and it is their duty to make a well-informed decision.

Gagnard, who received 36.5 percent of votes the first time around, has 24 years of experience as an educator and a coach.

What he lacks, however, is the common sense to refrain from writing offensive comments on social media.

The former wrestling coach made headlines this week when he took down his Facebook page after posting racial and

screenshot courtesy of facebook

‘Coach Don’ Gagnard will be on the ballot for the Lafayette Parish School Board election on Dec. 6 against Mary Morrison. homophobic commentary about hating “faggots, bums, illegal aliens, Veterans mistreatment and most of all: OUR HITLER PRESIDENT …”

When asked by KATC, one of Lafayette’s local television stations, about the comments, Gagnard said, “Coaches aren’t racist.”

“I’ve bailed black people out of jail and bought them trucks,” he said. “If you call me a racist, that’s going to flip back on you.

But the faggot thing, yea, you can stick with that.”

After reading his response, there is only one reasonable scenario I can think of as to why

the number of people that voted for Gagnard last week did: They made their choice based on a taxing game of eeny, meeny, miny moe.

Otherwise, how could a person like Gagnard have received enough votes for a runoff election?

Morrison, on the other hand, is a student success adviser and continuing education instructor at South Louisiana Community College.

Morrison, who received 44.5 percent of the votes, also served on the Lafayette City-Parish Council and was a candidate for the school board in 2006.

In a questionnaire response to The Daily Advertiser, Morrison said she would work closely with principals and teachers to increase performance ratings, as well as host town hall meetings so the community will have an opportunity to voice its concerns to its representative.

Gagnard had the opportunity to fill out the same questionnaire, but failed to respond

by The Daily Advertiser’s deadline.

While electing school board representatives may not receive the same amount of buzz in the media as Senatorial or Congressional elections, I want to

believe that, with Louisianians’ evident desire to improve education in the state, they would show enough interest to care who is in charge of approving or rejecting the proposals aimed at accomplishing this goal.

But I guess they don’t.

The Senatorial and 6th Congressional District elections ended in a runoff because both candidates have equal amounts of strong supporters.

I just don’t see why a race between a bigoted, racist former coach/physical education teacher and a student adviser and instructor at a college with previous experience serving in public office could’ve possibly ended with similar results had voters made well-informed decisions.

Morrison had the most votes, but didn’t have enough to secure her seat without the need for another election, and that is crazy.

In this case, it should be obvious who is the more qualified candidate.

When you walk into the voting booth on Dec. 6, make sure you’re making educated decisions for all issues on the ballot, not only when picking the more influential positions of public office.

Not knowing who or what you vote for today will have an effect on your life tomorrow.

Crisis pregnancy centers should help, not mislead women our lady of angst Sidneyrose reynen Columnist “WORRIED? PREGNANT?” scream the advertisements plastered on city buses nationwide.

Billboards with stock photos of women with furrowed brows looking at pregnancy tests with line the highways.

These are examples of crisis pregnancy center advertisements.

Sometimes, you don’t even have to look further than The Daily Reveille to find some.

Usually run by non profit organizations, crisis pregnancy centers target young, pregnant women. They often offer free medical services like sonograms or screenings for sexually transmitted infections. Employees are trained to counsel the women who walk through their doors.

But behind this nice, friendly facade lurks

something more ominous: The sole purpose of CPCs is to manipulate those women into not getting abortions.

CPCs are akin to a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They disguise themselves as abortion clinics with the limited rhetoric in their advertisements. The young women who show up usually are looking for an abortion and usually are tricked by the centers’ employees into thinking they can receive that type of procedure there.

In fact, CPCs essentially have replaced abortion clinics in many states. In a short film that exposes the untruthful nature of these types of centers, Vice.com estimates that CPCs may outnumber abortion clinics five to one.

Many CPCs follow a guide entitled, “How to Start and Operate Your Own Pro-Life Outreach Pregnancy Center,” otherwise known as the Pearson Manual. It’s a 93-page guide on how to lie, cheat and manipulate women searching for abortions.

According to a report by

contraceptive expert Dawn Stacey, the manual recommends, among other things, to answer questions such as “Are you a pro-life center?” with statements like, “We are a pregnancy testing center ...

What is pro-life?” If a patient questions anything the employee does, the guide tells the employee, “at no time do you need to tell them what you’re doing.”

Although CPCs offer free pregnancy testing, they almost always use store-bought tests and the manual cautions employees not to let patients know whether they are pregnant, only if the results are “positive or negative.”

Lastly, the Pearson Manual lays out its semblance of a mission statement. “[O]ur name of the game is to get the woman to come in as do the abortion chambers. Be put off by nothing … Let nothing stop you. The stakes are life or death.”

CPCs operate fraudulently, pretending they are medical centers when all they provide

are lies. Even if you disagree with the fundamental nature of abortion clinics, at least they are honest about what’s going to take place there. The majority of CPCs are run by Christian non profits, and if I remember my catechism days correctly, there’s something in the Bible about “thou shalt not lie.”

The women who are duped

by CPCs usually need abortions the most. But CPCs disguise their evil and untruthful ways with free stuff, Christian rhetoric and withheld information.

Fortunately, many states are fighting back against CPCs. In 2009, the Baltimore City Council mandated that CPCs must display signs stating they do not provide contraceptives or abortions. Just four years later, the Austin City Council followed in Baltimore’s footsteps, and CPCs that didn’t abide by the ruling would be fined and given citations.

More recently, the battle with CPCs has reached all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Last Monday, the Supreme

Court decided not to hear an appeal to a controversial New York City law that forces CPCs to inform patients whether they have a licensed medical professional on staff. Despite pressure from pro-life clinics, the Supreme Court rightfully agreed these centers can’t legally women.

Organizations that run and fund CPCs claim laws like these are a hindrance to their First Amendment rights. These prolifers think the U.S. constitution not only guarantees the right to speak, but also the right not to speak.

Constitutionally speaking, this is true.

But if packs of cigarettes have to be plastered with warnings of what smoking can do to you, why can’t CPCs have warnings of what they won’t do to you?

Corie said the Hunger Banquet, which will be held on Nov. 19, is typically the organization’s biggest event. She said KOTG expects more than 100 participants to attend, as it did last year.

Mike Manning, president of the GBRFB — which is experiencing a 5-year low in food supply — will serve as the banquet’s keynote speaker.

Corie said KOTG members created many of the events, like the workshops and the collaboration with Louisiana Delta Service Corps and two local community gardens.

While LSU tries to recover from one of its most physically and emotionally taxing games of the season, Arkansas (4-5, 0-5 SEC) is coming off a bye week and searching for its first conference win since head coach Bret Bielema took the helm last season.

But it’s no cupcake.

After going 4-0 in nonconference play, all five of the Razorbacks’ conference games have been against opponents in the top 10. While they failed to win any of them, they gave most of them a scare.

Arkansas’ résumé includes an overtime loss to then-No. 6 Texas A&M, a one-point loss to No. 4 Alabama and, most recently, a onetouchdown loss to No. 1 Mississippi State in which the Bulldogs needed a last-minute interception in the end zone to finally put the game away.

And the Razorbacks would love nothing more than to get that elusive win in the Battle for the Golden Boot.

“They’re definitely a hungry team,” said LSU junior cornerback Jalen Collins. “They’ve had some pretty close games this year, and I wouldn’t expect anything different for this game.”

In addition to an Arkansas team yearning for a win, the Tigers will have to combat unfamiliar weather conditions. As of Thursday afternoon, weather. com projected a high temperature of 38 degrees and a low of 26 degrees with 12 mph winds and a 30 percent chance of snow.

Most of LSU’s roster lacks experience playing in cold weather.

It took special precautions to prepare for the harsh conditions, including practicing with wet balls, playing in cold-weather equipment and dropping the temperature of its indoor practice facility.

Senior running back Terrence

portunities. He said he’s most looking forward to the Hunger Banquet.

“It’s important for the University to celebrate this week because it allows students to realize how lucky we are and gives us the opportunity to reach out to those in need,” Cheramie said. “This would be a great week to make a difference in someone’s life and live out LSU’s goal to serve in their ‘Commitment to Community.’”

Corie said the reason KOTG and the University celebrate NHHA Week is to bring awareness to the problems that exist in the Baton Rouge community and to drive people to serve that community.

“When there is a surplus of food in this country and an abundance of empty homes throughout the nation’s neighborhoods, there is no ethical reason for hunger and homelessness to exist,” Corie said.

“And we, as students in Kitchens on the Geaux, realize this and believe our fellow students at LSU would readily agree.”

Corie said she realizes Magee said the Tigers will be prepared for anything and everything come Saturday.

“We’re a weather-proof team,” Magee said. “We call it ‘LSU weather.’ No matter where we go, we’re going to have LSU weather. We have some accommodations that will help us for the cold weather as far as our uniform, but it’s going to be the same style of football we played last Saturday.”

In terms of style, Saturday’s contest should play out in classic SEC fashion. Both teams have relied heavily on their running game this season while trying to develop young quarterbacks.

LSU and Arkansas have run the ball a combined 883 times for

The Daily Reveille finding a cure-all for the problems hunger and homelessness pose may be difficult for a student body to accomplish; however, there are many opportunities for it to make small contributions, especially between Nov. 16 to 22.

Corie hopes each of the service opportunities and the Hunger Banquet will bring in an abundance of volunteers and attendees, and not just those from the University.

Corie encourages anyone in the community who is passionate about the two causes to attend weekly KOTG meetings and visit its TigerLink, Facebook and Twitter pages for more information regarding the events. “[KOTG] created opportunities for all of campus to both volunteer and learn more about hunger and homelessness,” Corie said. “I hope that this week shows people that, even if you can’t literally see hunger and homelessness around you, they very much exist and they very much need your attention and dedication to reduce them — so go serve, LSU.”

4,448 yards while going to the air just 481 times for 3,603 yards.

Arkansas has two running backs closing in on 1,000 yards for the season in junior Jonathan Williams, who has accumulated 877 yards, and sophomore Alex Collins, who has 840 yards.

“We want to knock their heads back and make sure they know we came to play,” said sophomore defensive tackle Christian LaCouture. “When we have an opportunity to make a play, we have to make sure we give 110 percent and attack the line of scrimmage.”

Tigers compete in Hall of Famer Alvin Dark dies played football and regional meet in Ark. Darkbaseball at LSU BY jacob hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com The LSU men’s and women’s cross country teams will make the trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas, today to compete in the NCAA South Central Regional meet at Agri Park Cross Country Course.

The women will begin at noon, and the men start at 1 p.m.

They are facing teams from neighboring schools including McNeese State, Rice and Southeastern Conference foe and cross country powerhouse Arkansas.

“The talent [in the South Central Regional meet] is probably as tough as the SEC meet,” said cross country coach Khadevis Robinson. “We are going to have to go out there and compete.”

LSU fared well against McNeese State and Rice early in the season. The Tigers finished second in the McNeese Relay, and the Lady Tigers finished in first place. They performed well against Rice at the Rice Invitational, where the women placed third and the men came in fifth.

The stiff competition comes from Arkansas, which finished in first place in the men’s and

women’s races at the SEC Championships. LSU finished in last place in both.

The Razorbacks’ squad boasts the SEC Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Runners of the Year, senior Stanley Kebenei and junior Dominique Scott.

History suggests that Arkansas is the favorite to win the regional meet because the men have won three of the last five, and the women have won three years in a row.

Arkansas has remained first in the South Central Region polls since the initial preseason poll, while LSU has been sporadically ranked in the top-15.

LSU most recently was ranked in the week four poll, when the Lady Tigers were No. 12 and the Tigers were No. 15.

Despite the results of the SEC Championships, Robinson said he believes his team can compete with Arkansas if it runs to the best of its ability.

“We have three guys that can finish in 25 minutes, but only one did it [at the SEC Championships],” Robinson said. “I think if [junior Morgan Schuetz] does what she’s supposed to do out there, she can run 30 seconds faster than Arkansas.”
