ACAMPUSHANDICAPPED

Not all University buildings up to code Danielle Kelley Senior Contributing Writer

Cope: System meeting broke law Chris Grillot

Sociology senior Tommy Mead has taken many tests throughout his college career, but not many can compare to the difficulty of his everyday test: getting around campus.

Mead is one of many students with disabilities who must search for handicap entrances, maneuver into narrow bathroom stalls and have classes moved to more accessible buildings because certain buildings on campus aren’t up to current Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.

One day, Mead tipped his wheelchair off a ramp at Prescott Hall and hit his head because the ramp wasn’t compliant with the ADA guidelines.

The ADA was passed by Congress in 1990 as a way “to provide clear, strong, consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities,” according to the original document. Since then, guidelines were updated in 2010.

Tommy Mead, sociology senior, wheels through the Quad on October 17.

University Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope accused the LSU System this week of violating the Louisiana open meetings law when the Board of Supervisors “unexpectedly” voted to consolidate the chancellor and system president positions at its Oct. 26 meeting.

Cope sent a letter to Attorney General James “Buddy” Caldwell, asking him to investigate the Board’s decision. Caldwell’s secretary said Wednesday the office is reviewing the accusation.

Louisiana open meetings law requires public notification of a meeting and a meeting agenda to be posted for the public no less than 24 hours prior to the meeting.

“A decision like that is a significant item,” Cope said Wednesday.

Cope said he’s never seen an item from the “Chairman’s Report” voted on, and the SYSTEM, see page 6

INTERNATIONAL Puerto Rico vote endorses statehood with asterisk, island remains divided SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Ricans have supported U.S. statehood in a vote that jubilant members of the pro-statehood party say is the strongest sign yet that the Caribbean island territory is on the road to losing its second-class status.

But Tuesday’s vote comes with an asterisk and an imposing political reality: The island remains bitterly divided over its relationship to the United States and many question the validity of this week’s referendum.

Nearly a half million voters chose to leave a portion of the ballot blank.

Powerful earthquake hits Guatemalan town, killing at least 39 people SAN MARCOS, Guatemala (AP) — A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked Guatemala on Wednesday, killing at least 39 people as it toppled thick adobe walls, shook huge landslides down onto highways and sent terrified villagers streaming into the streets of this idyllic mountain town near the border with Mexico. One hundred people were missing, and hundreds were injured.

The quake, which hit at 10:35 a.m. in the midst of the work day, caused terror over an unusually wide area, with damage reported in all but one of Guatemala’s 22 states.

Nearly complete mammoth skeleton uncovered by archaeologists in France PARIS (AP) — Archaeologists in France have unearthed a rather hairy fossil — a nearly complete skeleton of a mammoth.

The bones — thought to belong to a creature that roamed the earth between 200,000 and 50,000 years ago — were discovered by accident during the excavation of an ancient Roman site 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Paris.

It may be only the third remains of a long-haired woolly mammoth discovered in France in the last 150 years.

Marijuana votes in two states challenge United States drug war

Political campaigns, runoffs continue in Louisiana until December

DENVER (AP) — First came marijuana as medicine. Now comes legal pot for the people.

Those who have argued for decades that legalizing and taxing weed would be better than a costly, failed U.S. drug war have their chance to prove it, as Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow pot for recreational use.

While the measures earned support from broad swaths of the electorate in both states Tuesday, they are likely to face resistance from federal drug warriors.

California man behind anti-Muslim film sentenced to year in prison

(AP) — While the national political focus shifted Wednesday from election debates to governing, the campaign season hasn’t wrapped up in Louisiana, with several races headed to a December runoff.

At the top of the list is the 3rd Congressional District race, where the nasty fight between Republican incumbents Charles Boustany and Jeff Landry continues until Dec. 8.

Also undecided is who will take an open seat on the Louisiana Supreme Court representing the Baton Rouge region and a list of scattered local races.

Recipients picked for BP tourism, seafood grants following oil spill

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind an anti-Muslim film that roiled the Middle East was sentenced Wednesday to a year in prison for violating his probation stemming from a 2010 bank fraud conviction by lying about his identity.

U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder immediately sentenced Mark Basseley Youssef after he admitted to four of the eight alleged violations, including obtaining a fraudulent California driver’s license.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — More than 100 nonprofit groups and government entities have been picked to get shares of $43.7 million in BP funds to promote the Gulf Coast’s tourism and seafood industries following the company’s 2010 oil spill.

The first round of grants announced Wednesday by court-supervised claims administrator Patrick Juneau is part of a proposed class-action settlement between BP and a team of private plaintiffs’ attorneys.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County voters have approved a measure requiring porn performers to wear condoms while filming sex scenes, prompting a pledge by the adult entertainment industry to sue to overturn the measure.

With 100 percent of the county’s precincts reporting, Measure B passed 56 percent to 44 percent in Tuesday’s election.

The measure requires adult film producers to apply for a permit from the county Department of Public Health to shoot sex scenes.

At least 700 students passed through a spectacle of motorcycles, mountain bikes and German Shepherds during the LSU Police Department’s Public Safety Day demonstration Wednesday.

The roughly 750-spot parking garage smack dab in the middle of the University’s campus will officially open in the upcoming spring semester, said Facility Services Planning, Design and Construction Director Roger Husser.

“Although susbstantial construction of the garage will be complete at the end of November, elevator and security camera installation is [still] in progress,” Husser said.

The original deadline of early spring 2012 has been pushed back almost every month throughout the year, said Parking, Traffic and Transportation Director Gary Graham.

Graham couldn’t specify exactly what has held up the $22.5 million project, but he said a specialist in finishing projects, Ed Reymer with Satterfield and Pontikes Construction, Inc., the project’s contracting company, has been brought in to help.

Jerry M. Campbell & Associates was hired by the University as the architecture firm for the project, but the firm could not be reached for comment.

Dennis Mitchell, landscape design manager for Facility Services, acknowledged the project was behind schedule, citing the complexities involved with the project’s location as another possible reason for the delay.

“The problem is it’s just behind construction-wise,” Mitchell said.

Although not directly involved with the garage’s construction, Mitchell said unforeseen setbacks happen regularly with large projects, and in a heavily trafficked section of campus, pedestrians and cars can cause all kinds of problems.

BENJAMIN OLIVER HICKS / The Daily Reveille

Construction continues Tuesday on the parking garage next to the LSU bookstore on Raphael Semmes Road.

“If it were in a field by itself, there’s a very good chance it would’ve been completed by now,” he said.

Rows of cars flanked the sides of the garage’s first and second floors Tuesday but painted lines have yet to be seen, and the elevator shafts appeared far from complete.

Once officially opened, the garage will consist of one-fourth residential parking, one-fourth

faculty and one-half metered visitor parking, Graham said. A broadcast email Tuesday afternoon announced the closure of Raphael Semmes Road westbound from 6 a.m. Wednesday until noon today due to construction on the parking garage.

LAW CENTER

Alumnus donates $2 million to new energy law center Program will be named after Laborde Danielle Kelley Senior Contributing Writer

After University and LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center alumnus John P. Laborde pledged to donate $2 million — the largest donation in the Law Center’s history — it was announced the new energy law program would be named the LSU John P. Laborde Energy Law Center, said Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss.

Weiss said $1.2 million of Laborde’s donation will be used to create “a new double distinguished chair in energy law.” The remaining $800,000 will create a “challenge fund,” which will match future “significant donations to the law school to encourage those gifts.”

On his 89th birthday, Laborde said that his time at the University was broken up by World War II. “LSU is a very significant part of my life because it occupied a portion of my life at which

I was having to make some very serious choices,” he said.

Laborde entered the University in 1940, but was drafted into the Army in late 1942.

“I was in ROTC at LSU along with all of my classmates, and we were drafted into the service in late 1942, but we were permitted to stay in college for another few months,” he LABORDE said.

He was called into active duty in 1943 and didn’t return until 1946, when he finished his undergraduate and began his first year of law school.

Laborde said he is happy that his donation will help kickstart the energy law program.

“Chancellor Weiss has wisely determined there’s enough out there in the field to justify a special degree in that segment of the law; particularly here in Louisiana, it’s very, very appropriate,” Laborde said. “This has been oil country for probably a hundred years or longer.”

TURNING THE PAGE

Laborde said he hopes his donation will be an inspiration to his family and other families.

“It gives me personal pride and pleasure for it to hopefully be serving a purpose for the state of Louisiana, LSU and the [students],” he said. “I hope that it will be an inspiration to not only my own family, but the young people from many, many other families across the country who will honor this as something worthwhile in their lives.”

Weiss said Laborde embodies the Law Center with him being “a major leader in the energy sector,” his “impeccable reputation for integrity and straightforward dealing,” and him being a “major figure” on campus and in Louisiana.

“I think it’s important that this gift is just a major additional step for providing funding for the Energy Law Center to make it one of the pre-eminent centers in the country,” Weiss said.

LSU Health Care Services Division moved Sunday from KirbySmith Hall to the administrative business office on Airline Highway, leaving the residence hall’s ninth through 12th floors vacant after the division’s lease terminates at the end of the month.

LSU Health Director of Communications and Media Relations Marvin McGraw said the division manages seven public hospitals and 500 clinics across

southern Louisiana.

“It’s one of the largest public health systems in the country,” McGraw said.

The Health Care Services Division transferred to Kirby-Smith Hall in April 2008 after being housed at XI United Plaza on Essen Lane.

Jay High, Residential Life associate director, said ResLife is discussing the University’s plans for the vacant floors.

Gary Graham, director of Parking, Traffic and Transportation, said though there are no

finalized plans for the lot in front of Kirby-Smith Hall. If Health Care Services Division employees are no longer occupying the lot, Graham said the parking office would change it back to a residential lot.

Graham said changing the Hart Lot back to all commuter would depend on the number of residents occupying the residential lots near Kirby-Smith.

SG supports proposal Senate reveals election results for anti-plagiarism

Wilborn Nobles III Senior Contributing Writer

Student Government passed legislation at Wednesday’s weekly Senate meeting to officially show its support in favor of Faculty Senate’s resolution to establish a task force for investigation and comparison of anti-plagiarism services within the University.

According to Faculty Senate Resolution 12-11, peer institutions like University of Florida in Gainesville and the University of Maryland subscribe to a service called Turnitin.com, a program that allows teachers to scan students’ essay submissions quickly to determine if there is any plagiarized content in the students’ work.

When College of Science Senator Nathan Herwig asked about the cost of implementing the program, Director of Academic Affairs Thomas Rodgers said SG could not request a price range until Faculty Senate decides to form a task force.

“There’s no official University push for this right now,” Rodgers said, “This would be the

The Board voted to consolidate the positions at the end of the regular board meeting. The item, considered a report by the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, was listed under the “Chairman’s

Report” on the agenda.

The Board of Supervisors discussed the AGB report — detailing numerous structural changes to the LSU System — at the meeting before Board member Blake Chatelain pushed to vote on the portion involving the consolidation of chancellor and

system president.

“LSU System General Counsel, Shelby McKenzie, read ‘on cue’ a carefully prepared version of the resolution,” Cope wrote in his letter to Caldwell. “The ready availability of a professionally written resolution indicates that discussions pertaining to this resolution must also have occurred out of public view.”

Chatelain said the Board had talked about the merger for months before the decision was made and McKenzie has maintained the board did not break any laws.

“I’m not aware of any issue involving violating open meetings laws,” he said Wednesday.

The attorney general will now either proceed with Cope’s claim or decline it with a written letter.

Rodgers said the University may look into having this program implemented on Moodle, if the resolution is passed, to allow students to check their work before submitting it.

The legislation was written by University College Center for Freshman Year Senator Elliot Thompson who said there is currently no “University-subscribed” program to determine if students are plagiarizing.

Many students still have difficulties understanding what constitutes plagiarism, Rodgers said, referring to conversations he’s had with professors in the past.

Thompson said the use of this program in classes is up to the discretion of the professors.

Speaker Pro Tempore Lane Pace supported the legislation, saying SG could determine if the services were good for students after the task force did the research on the programs.

are subject to ADA building standards, and not all structures built before 1990 have been brought up to code because of a lack of funding from the state. However, ADA provides the University leeway to give students with disabilities the option to move classes to accessible rooms, also known as program access, said Benjamin Cornwell, director of Disability Services.

On campus, only a few academic buildings have been brought up to the current code, said Facility Services Administration Manager Tammy Millican.

But for the University, there may be no incentive to ensure these older buildings are up to code.

Former Director of Facility Services and current Tiger Athletic Foundation Project Manager Emmett David said it is difficult to renovate an older building because up to five other codes in addition to ADA govern different aspects of building management like electricity, plumbing or access. Because of this, it is easier to build a new structure to code than to update an older building, David said.

THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE Jacob Irving, political communication sophomore, rides a Segway to and from classes. Irving has cerebral palsy, which makes walking a difficult, slow and painful task.

Due to Irving’s disability, he has the opportunity to participate in Disability Services’ program access.

However, Irving said he opted out of program access because “the cons outweigh the pros.”

Irving said program access confused him, and he would rather “suck it up” than move classrooms.

“I guess if I really was a gogetter, I could have asked, but at the end of the day, I had classes with my friends, and they said, ‘Hey man, if there’s anything you need, we can help you out,’” Irving said.

So he leaves his Segway the

closest he can get to a classroom and walks the rest of the way.

Even if a building has a ramp entrance, Irving said he sometimes gets nervous because it doesn’t have the current ADA code incline.

While Irving has avoided injury, others like Mead have faced problems with certain campus buildings like Prescott.

Because of Mead’s problems with Prescott, he asked Disability Services to change the location of the class. His class now meets in Coates Hall.

“I know which [buildings] I like and which ones I don’t,” Mead said. “In case there’s a building I’m unfamiliar with, I come in a week before to check the building out.”

He looks for entrances, elevators and bathrooms. Sometimes a handicap sign doesn’t mean handicap accessibility, especially with bathrooms.

He can’t use the bathroom in Lockett Hall because there’s not enough turning space to enter stalls.

“Just because it has a handicap sign doesn’t mean it’s handicap accessible,” he said. “I’ve gone on every floor in there, and there’s not enough room for anybody in a wheelchair.”

Mead said handicap parking is sometimes useless as well.

“You go to the [Athletic Administration Building], and they have handicap parking, and you get there, but there’s no ramp [near handicapped parking spots].

You have to go around,” he said

with frustration. “What the hell’s the point?”

LACK OF FUNDS

Funding to update buildingaccessibility may take “a year or two or 20,” Millican said in an email, depending on when state funding becomes available.

“Currently, Atkinson Hall, [Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex] — west wing, Prescott Hall and Taylor Hall are on the Capital Outlay bill, but we have no idea of when each one will actually receive funding,” Millican said in an email. “It depends on available funding and legislative action.”

The Music and Dramatic Arts Building was in the process of receiving state funding for 20 years, said Ken Courtade, manager of campus planning.

The University also tries to raise these funds directly.

The facility access fee on the student fee bill can contribute $80,000 to help ease ADA compliancy but would not cover bringing a building up to code, Cornwell said. Students pay $3.50 every spring semester fee bill, he said.

“It may sound like a lot, but it doesn’t go very far,” Cornwell said. “We try to do what we can, but it can be a real challenge.”

· Himes Hall built in 1939 major renovations — 1979, 2006

Even bringing small issues up to ADA-compliancy can cost the University a large sum of money.

Five or six bathroom renovations can cost $150,000, and replacing a curb cut can cost $5,000 to $10,000, Cornwell said.

Cornwell said those updates are chosen based on consistent problems he hears from students.

The problems can be fixed with excess money, saving the facility access fee for a few years or having the state match the fund.

Courtade said the U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for enforcing codes from ADA to the fire marshall.

When the University is cited by people with disabilities, the Department of Justice will inspect the claims.

The University’s last citation involved parking at South Stadium Parking Lot. The citation said it was not accessible for people with disabilities to move from their parked cars to Tiger Stadium.

Since then, Facility Services provided more parking spaces and an accessible pathway, Courtade said.

If the University fails to fix the violations, it is “subject to a fine or penalty by the Department of Justice,” Courtade said.

“Everyone in general responds

to them as quickly as possible,” he said. “It’s not something the University would take lightly.”

Despite the University’s efforts, Mead is not optimistic the problems will be solved any time soon.

“There’s only so much Ben [Cornwell] can do,” Mead said about fixing accessibility problems. “I doubt they’ll ever change the way it’s set up until someone gets hurt very bad.”

For first-year associate head coach Jay Clark, that’s the point.

“If it hurts, keep doing it!” Clark yells as his athletes

Blame it on the trick plays, missed field goals, play calling or fourth-quarter defense.

Blame it on Nick Saban, Les Miles, bad luck or destiny — just don’t blame turnovers.

In last Saturday’s 21-17 loss to No. 1 Alabama (9-0), No. 9 LSU (7-2) forced two fumbles and didn’t give up any turnovers, winning the turnover battle against an Alabama team that leads the Southeastern Conference in turnover differential.

In fact, the Tigers haven’t given up a turnover in either of their last two games and gave up only one in their last three games — a vast improvement from the 11 turnovers the Tigers gave away in their first six games.

The Tigers’ turnaround in the turnover department came while they faced arguably the toughest stretch of their schedule, with two top-five ranked opponents and No. 20 Texas A&M in their

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

AAU basketball beneficial to college hoops players Bria Turner Sports Contributor

Amateur Athletic Union Basketball, better known as AAU, molds the careers of many young basketball players with dreams of playing college.

Nearly all of LSU’s current and former players have spent time playing AAU basketball to stay in shape and gain exposure to make it to the college level.

LSU women’s basketball freshman guard Kuaneshia Baker said AAU basketball differs from high school with its up-tempo play, which players say is close to the pace of college basketball.

LSU junior guard Jeanne Kenney credited her recruitment to the exposure she earned while playing for her AAU team. It’s rare to get recruiters to come to high school games without

playing AAU, Kenney said.

Charlie Domino, Kenney’s AAU coach at the New Orleans Domino’s, said when teams travel to large tournaments, about 1,200 players compete with nearly 300 to 400 college coaches in attendance.

“Nothing against high school coaches at all, but there’s never gonna be 300 coaches coming to a high school gym,” Domino said.

Domino, who founded the Domino’s Basketball organization in 1974, coached current players Kenney and junior forward Theresa Plaisance from age 10 until they were seniors in high school. Former LSU coach Pokey Chatman and 2012 NCAA champion coach Kim Mulkey from Baylor are also former players.

Domino’s program alone has won 17 national championships

and earned players $23 million in scholarships.

Along with the exposure, the competition level in AAU is better than it is in high school, according to Domino. He said the most elite players compete with one another, causing the skills of a player to immensely improve.

“When you a take a group of kids that are all-stars and put them together and play against other teams that are all-stars, the competition level goes up,” Domino said. “The competition level in practice is increased. It makes for a better player.”

AAU Basketball is a time and monetary investment for players and their parents. Yearly team costs could range from $300 to $500 each year, not including the fees to enter tournaments.

Southeastern Conference Power Rankings: Week 9 Bowl Eligibility.” Whoever wins qualifies for a bowl berth, something neither could say last season.

May the best mediocre team win.

Last Week: 8 (Lost to Georgia 37-10)

MIC’D UP MICAH BEDARD Sports Columnist 1. Alabama (9-0) Coach Nick Saban knows how tough it is to escape Tiger Stadium with a win. Despite getting shut down for the majority of the second half, quarterback AJ McCarron and the Alabama offense made a fiveplay, 72-yard drive look like clockwork in the last two minutes.

We’ll see how the Crimson Tide deals with Johnny Football. So far this season, only LSU has managed to contain the six-time Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week.

Last Week: 1 (Beat LSU 21-17) 2. Georgia (8-1) If Georgia keeps rolling along like it did against Ole Miss, all signs point to the SEC Championship in Atlanta.

The Dawgs’ defense shut out the Rebel Black Bears in the second half, limiting their potent offense to only 234 yards.

This weekend’s game on the road against Auburn can be summed up pretty quickly — Georgia’s good at scoring points. Auburn isn’t.

Last Week: 3 (Beat Ole Miss 37-10) 3. LSU (7-2) The Tigers hate losing to Alabama any time it happens. They hate giving away a game in the final two minutes against the No. 1 ranked team in the country even more.

Two losses eliminate LSU from the national championship conversation, but I expect the Tigers to take their anger out on Mississippi State on Saturday night.

Last Week: 2 (Lost to Alabama 21-17) 4. Florida (8-1) I’m officially putting the Gators on upset alert against LouisianaLafayette (not the University of

9. Vanderbilt (5-4) Give Vanderbilt some credit.

A shutout is a shutout. Even if it’s against Kentucky.

Louisiana). They’ve only combined for 23 points on the scoreboard their past two times out and looked sloppy against less-than-stellar Mizzou this weekend.

The Ragin’ Cajuns beat a quality UL-Monroe team on the road this weekend and score 35 points a game. Don’t be surprised to see Florida sleepwalking in this beforenoon kickoff.

Last Week: 4 (Beat Missouri 14-7) 5. South Carolina (7-2) After losing running back Marcus Lattimore against Tennessee the week before, the Gamecocks needed a bye to put together an offensive gameplan without him.

Going up against Arkansas this weekend is the perfect time to test it out. The Razorbacks have some offensive deficiencies of their own.

Last Week: 5 (Bye) 6. Texas A&M (7-2) Johnny Football decided to change it up a little bit against Mississippi State.

While he still made plays with his

legs, the real story of Manziel’s performance was his efficient arm, completing 30 of 36 balls for 311 yards.

Doing that against the Bulldogs and Auburn the past two weeks is nice, but Alabama’s defense is a completely different monster.

Last Week: 6 (Beat Mississippi State 38-13) 7. Mississippi State (7-2) Feel free to start the “overrated” chant anytime now.

Getting completely throttled by Texas A&M makes it two weeks in a row that Mississippi State has given up 38 points. Their back-loaded schedule made the Bulldogs look great in September, but with a visit to Tiger Stadium scheduled for this weekend, they are going to be begging for November to be over.

Last Week: 7 (Lost to Texas A&M 38-13) 8. Ole Miss (5-4) I’m calling the tussle between Ole Miss and Vanderbilt the “Battle for

Last Week: 11 (Beat Troy 55-48) 13. Auburn (2-7) “After Auburn’s impressive showing against New Mexico State, I’m back on the Gene Chizik bandwagon,” said no one ever.

Last Week: 14 (Beat New Mexico State 42-7) 14. Kentucky (1-9) Poor Joker Phillips. He has to coach Kentucky’s last two games despite already being fired.

FOOTBALL

Former UT coach Royal dies Jim Vertuno The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A son of Depression-era Oklahoma, Darrell Royal came to Texas to take over a sleeping giant of a football program.

Over 20 years, his folksy approach to sports and life, his inventive wishbone offense and a victory in the “Game of the Century” — where a U.S. president declared his team national champion — made him an icon of college football.

Royal, who won two national championships and turned the Longhorns program into a national power, died early Wednesday at age 88 of complications from cardiovascular disease, said school spokesman Bill Little. Royal also suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

Royal didn’t have a single losing season in his 23 years as a head coach at Texas, Mississippi State and Washington. Known for their stout defenses and punishing running attacks, his Texas teams boasted a 167-47-5 record from 1957 to 1976, the best mark in the nation over that period.

“It was fun,” Royal told The Associated Press in 2007. “All the days I was coaching at Texas, I knew this would be my last coaching job. I knew it when I got here.”

It almost didn’t happen. Royal wasn’t Texas’ first choice.

Texas was coming off a 1-9 season in 1956 — still the worst in program history — and wanted a highprofile coach to turn things around.

The Longhorns were rebuffed by Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd and Michigan State’s Duffy Daugherty, but both coaches encouraged Texas to hire the 32-year-old Royal, who was lying in bed the night he got the call summoning him to Austin.

“Edith, this is it. This is the University of Texas,” Royal told his wife.

Royal led the Longhorns to a 6-3-1 record in his first season, but he was so sickened by Mississippi’s 39-7 thrashing of his team in the Sugar Bowl that he gave away the commemorative bowl watch he received.

Under Royal, Texas won 11 Southwest Conference titles, 10 Cotton Bowl championships and national championships in 1963 and 1969, going 11-0 each time. The Longhorns also won a share of the 1970

national title, earning him a national stature that rivaled that of Alabama’s Paul “Bear” Bryant and Ohio State’s Woody Hayes. Royal was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983.

Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced, but Royal will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, an honor typically reserved for the state’s military and political leaders.

On Saturday, the Longhorns will honor Royal at their home game against Iowa State by wearing “DKR” stickers on their helmets and by lining up in the wishbone formation, which Royal used to such great success, for their first offensive snap.

“Today is a very sad day. I lost a wonderful friend, a mentor, a confidant and my hero. College football lost maybe its best ever, and the world lost a great man,” current Texas coach Mack Brown said Wednesday. “His council and friendship meant a lot to me before I came to Texas, but it’s been my guiding light for my 15 years here.”

As a player at Oklahoma, Royal

was a standout quarterback, defensive back and punter, and he credited hard work and luck for his success on the field and later as a coach.

He had a self-deprecating style and a knack for delivering pithy quotes — or “Royalisms” — about his team and opponents.

“Football doesn’t build character, it eliminates the weak ones,” was one of Royal’s famous lines.

“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity,” was another.

“He was a guy who was so strong and so determined and so direct about things,” said former Texas quarterback James Street. “He was that way to the very end.”

Royal and assistant Emory Ballard changed the football landscape in 1968 with the development of the wishbone, which features a fullback lined up two yards behind the quarterback and a step in front of two other backs.

Sixers hold Hornets to franchise low in 77-62 win Brett Martel The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jrue Holiday had 14 points and 12 assists, and the Philadelphia 76ers held New Orleans to its lowest point total ever in a 77-62 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday night.

Evan Turner also scored 14, and Thaddeus Young and Lavoy Allen each added 12 points for the Sixers, who dominated the second half defensively. The Hornets committed 14 of their 24 turnovers after halftime and scored only 25 points during the final two quarters. Young also grabbed 10 rebounds.

Al-Farouq Aminu was the only Hornets player to score in double figures with 10 points to go with a career-high 16 rebounds. Ryan Anderson grabbed 10 rebounds and 7-foot reserve Jason Smith blocked five shots.

The Hornets, who lost for the first time in three games, played without first-round draft choices Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers. Davis was not cleared to return from a recent concussion and Rivers had a sprained finger on his left hand.

The team’s previous low was 63 points in a 2009 playoff loss to Denver.

The Sixers finished with a 30-20 advantage in the paint and scored 26 points off Hornets turnovers, which was more than enough to offset Philadelphia’s 4-of-22 3-point shooting or the Sixers’ inability to get to the foul

Spencer Hawes finished with 11 points and three of the 76ers’ six blocked shots. Philadelphia also outshot New Orleans 41.7 percent (35 of 84) to 33.3 percent (23 of 69).

New Orleans was the more aggressive team on defense in the first half, forcing 14 turnovers and taking a 37-36 lead into the locker room despite shooting only 37.8 percent (14 of 37) through the opening two quarters. Smith’s eight early points on 3-for-3 shooting and a pair of free

throws helped the Hornets keep pace to that point.

In the third quarter, however, the Sixers took much better care of the ball, turning it over only once, and buckled down on defense. New Orleans struggled with the pressure, shooting four of 15 (26.7 percent) and turning the ball over eight times in the period as Philadelphia blocked four shots and surged to a double-digit lead.

The 76ers opened the second half on a 10-0 run fueled by a pair of jumpers by Allen to go ahead 46-37. Allen added a

last three games.

The Tigers were flawless in the turnover category Saturday, but they still lost, adding to the frustration of Tiger fans and players alike.

“Coach Miles stresses to us that the team that has the most turnovers is usually going to lose, which wasn’t the case Saturday,” said sophomore wide receiver Jarvis Landry. “But it’s just one of those things where we take pride in protecting the ball and not giving it to other teams.”

Junior wide receiver Kadron Boone said the Tigers’ performance in the last few games is a testament to the gradual relationship growth between junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger and the receiving corps.

“A lot of people fail to realize this is Zach’s first year starting from sitting out a while, so you can see he was a little rusty,” Boone said. “But now the rust is wearing off.”

Mettenberger said he was careless at the beginning of the season, but since then, he has refocused on making correct reads and protecting the ball.

LSU had to protect the ball to keep Saturday’s game close, Mettenberger said, but that doesn’t mean playing cautious.

Coaches” came calling.

They were more than familiar with one another, as Breaux has been the Tigers’ coach going on 36 years. She called Clark three days after his resignation as her first choice to replace Philip Ogletree, who left to fill Georgia’s assistant vacancy. It was in turn Clark’s first call received, and Breaux convinced him to take a visit to Baton Rouge with his wife, Julie.

“Through those visits I began to see that a lot of the things that I loved about Georgia were also here,” Clark said.

Clark said after a month, his initial unease turned to excitement. LSU gymnastics was a “proven product,” its top-10 consistency a plus. When he got to Baton Rouge, he saw things that could be enhanced, and he and Breaux’s short-term visions matched up. It didn’t hurt that Julie grew up in Mandeville where her family still resides.

He officially signed up for the job in July and wasted no time, setting out on the recruiting trail before he even reported to work. Clark, named the No. 9 recruiter in all of college sports by ESPNU in 2011, took over Ogletree’s recruiting coordinator spot and said he’s spent about a third of his time as a Tiger on the road.

“To me, recruiting is not sales if you know and believe in the product you’re selling,” Clark said. “I believe in it, I just need to know more about it so that I can speak more knowledgeably, and I’ve been working hard to try and learn more and more about [LSU].”

He also replaces Ogletree as LSU’s coach on the uneven bars.

The apparatus was the Tigers’ worst last season, a weakness that Clark said manifests itself in both competition and recruiting.

He arrived and shifted the focus from completing skills and routines to the details of the event, preferring quality over quantity.

His mantra of “championships can be won based on handstands and stuck landings” rings true for junior all-arounder Sarie Morrison, the Tigers’ All-American on the bars last season who

has worked to clean up those exact things. When you focus on the little things, the routines put themselves together, she said.

“I can [now] hit my routine and not worry about hitting it in the meet,” Morrison said. “It’s just about making every little thing perfect.”

Morrison called Clark’s personality “uplifting.” Clark, who believes it’s impossible to respect someone you don’t know, used the first month of his tenure to learn about his new athletes.

When the gymnasts aren’t going through one of his intense, motivating workouts, they’re laughing with him, joking about taking him to Reggie’s or chiding him during a photoshoot.

The tough love is something Morrison and Breaux appreciate.

“In the gym, he’s as tough as I am … which is a welcomed coaching comrade,” Breaux said.

Aside from his coaching duties, Breaux hired Clark for his internal and external marketing prowess. Breaux said they’re still “in the ’70s” with their current facility and hopes to break ground before next summer on a new one, which Breaux said Clark saw two of in his time in Athens, Ga. Clark is also helping spearhead a weekly television show for the team, a production he used to promote the Gym Dogs.

That kind of responsibility may breed the obvious prospect of eventually succeeding Breaux as head coach, but Clark said there was no talk of that in their preliminary conversations and that he would rather no one even speculate about it.

“She’s given me a lot of latitude so that I feel some sense of ownership in the program, but at the same time, it’s her program,” Clark said. “Quite honestly, I’m happy in this capacity right now.”

New season inspires pumpkin-flavored cuisine

As temperatures continue to fall this autumn, Baton Rouge is preparing for the changes with popular seasonal foods.

But this year, fall foods have taken a new shape, according to Leah Romero, a landscape architecture senior.

“This year has been the pumpkinpacolypse,” Romero said. “People that are

really interested in cooking are over it. The basic pumpkin isn’t good enough anymore.”

While Romero enjoys cooking with any fresh items that are in season, she said cooking enthusiasts are trying to spin different twists on applying fall ingredients. Romero served up variations such as a pumpkin and pecan pie filled with spicy chocolate, Halloween compost cookies and Blue Moon beef stew.

“Generally this beef stew is cooked with a dark beer,” she said. “But one day all I had FOOD, see page 19

Autumn brings new beer selections, preferences

With fall seasonal brews arriving, beer drinkers can quickly snatch up newly available flavors to suit the changing weather either from a bar or a liquor store.

Harrison Sparks, a bartender at The Chimes Restaurant and Tap Room, said some customers purchase flavored seasonal beers when fall arrives, while others opt for

heftier, darker beers. The restaurant kept about six Oktoberfest-themed beers, such as Samuel Adams Octoberfest, on its rotating drafts with about three similar bottled beers during October.

“The Oktoberfest beers are really popular whenever they come around,” Sparks said. “They all sold really well.”

He speculated people enjoy the change of pace, but he said though seasonal beers sell well, many customers stick with their BEER, see page 19

Alumna heads edgy, handcrafted jewelry company Artist plans to launch new line David Jones Entertainment Writer

Lauren Collignon’s affinity for design came long before she ever entered an art studio.

The art history alumna developed a keen fascination in deconstructing and rebuilding things as a child and often indulged herself by disassembling household items, including her grandfather’s phone.

Now, as her experimentation has matured to an expertise, Collignon channels her childhood hobby into her career as a jewelry designer.

The owner of Collignon

Designs creates and sells custom, handcrafted jewelry using a variety of materials – from acrylic textile to sterling silver to rubies.

Collignon said each jewelry piece requires a specific creation process, but the most difficult one comes with her high-end pieces since they usually involve metal.

She said a metal-based ring, for instance, starts as scraps of metal that she laser cuts, hammers and solders into a single unit. But she said an acrylic cutout piece may only require her to drill holes.

Regardless of the difficulty of the process, Collignon said no two pieces of jewelry are ever alike. She said this spontaneity is what makes her line unique.

“That’s the reason I love it,” she said. “I can do something different every time.”

When designing, Collignon said her biggest inspiration is her natural instinct. Initially, she said she made the mistake of designing jewelry to cater to certain groups, but found she wasn’t making the impact she wanted.

“The day I decided to make what I wanted to wear – things changed,” she said.

Now, Collignon said she feels her brand appeals to everyone from conservative mothers to a younger crowd covered in tattoos.

The Baton Rouge native said the backdrop of the Red Stick city also inspires her to be more creative as the city’s art scene becomes increasingly apparent. She said she mostly enjoys the energy indigenous to JEWELRY, see page 18

Ne-Yo,“R.E.D.”

Mercury Records

Ne-Yo’s fifth studio album, “R.E.D.,” combines elements of electronic dance music and traditional R&B to create a flavorful pop album. In songs like “Miss Right,” melodies build up in electric trance patterns, but drop as if the music hits a pillow. Ne-Yo’s soft voice accompanies crescendos like these to produce pleasantly smooth moments. In more conventional R&B tracks, heavy bass and blues guitar frolic in the background allowing Ne-Yo’s crystal clear vocals to trail off in interesting patterns. Songs like “Don’t Make Em Like You,” which features Wiz Khalifa, also include heavy bass to present another angle on Ne-Yo’s pop style. With appearances from others like Tim McGraw and Fabolous, Ne-Yo keeps the album varied enough for multiple listens.

Meek Mill, “Dreams & Nightmares”

AUSTEN KRANTZ

Maybach Music Group/ Warner Bros.

Meek Mill begins his musical endeavor with the titular track “Dreams And Nightmares” by telling listeners about his struggle and then launching into an aggressive rap, filled with passion and angst. It’s refreshing to hear rap that isn’t completely focused on the party lifestyle and bitches and hoes. However, as the record progresses, “Young & Gettin’ It,” featuring Kirko Bangz, panders to hip-hop’s established audience by utilizing Auto-Tune and spitting out rhymes such as, “I just want the money, y’all can keep them bitches. ‘Cause I’m young and I’m getting it.” While it’s a pretty trite concept, the song is damn catchy. One highlight of the album is the song “Who You’re Around,” featuring Mary J. Blige. Mill’s gritty and bombastic style is complemented by Blige’s elegant crooning, giving the tune a well-rounded sound.

Aerosmith,“Music From Another Dimension!”

Columbia

Steven Tyler and the geriatric rockers of Aerosmith are back with their 15th studio album, “Music From Another Dimension!” The traditional trappings of Aerosmith music, hard rocking guitars and screeches from Tyler, are present on the album. With 15 albums under its belt, it is understandable that Aerosmith has run out of new angles and influences to incorporate. Fans accepting of more of the same may glean a few jamming gems from the morass of too-similar blues rock ballads.

Album highlights include the electric “Lover Alot” and Southern-rock infused “Out Go the Lights.” Understandably, a bit of wear is detectable on Tyler’s overworked golden pipes. Joe Perry’s blues guitar riffs, on the other hand, have gotten better with time. Certainly Aerosmith isn’t churning out hits like “Walk This Way” anymore, but this album extends the band’s relevance for at least a bit longer.

Last Man Standing

ABC

Kiss Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor goodbye. The second season premiere of “Last Man Standing” finds the once-dopey “Home Improvement” Tim Allen settled into the more controversial character, Mike Baxter. Baxter, a loud-mouth suburban dad outnumbered in a female-dominated house, is notorious for his trivial rants and nonsensical barking as his three daughters and wife.

But this season, as the show begs for higher ratings, the leading man stirs up real controversy with his political views. To convince his daughters to support Mitt Romney, Baxter spewed out punch lines like “You voted for a guy from Kenya” for an entire 30 minutes. Yet, as he went on, the only thing present was shock factor and fake laughs from the studio audience.

Controversy grabs attention but substance maintains it. Depicting Tim Allen as a bigot is engaging, but it has to be done better.

Columbia

“Glee: The Music Presents Glease” takes some of the most wellloved karaoke anthems known to man and turns them into overproduced, poorly sung pieces of fluff. Tunes from the movie musical “Grease” like “You’re the One That I Want” and “Greased Lightning” have the lyrics of the original songs, but not much of the talent or polish. Even oft-forgotten ballad “There Are Worse Things I Could Do,” sung by Becca Tobin as Kitty, will disappoint a true Grease fan. The album does have a bright spot.

North Gate area celebrates eighth annual festival Friday

Bands, food and art will be present Taylor Schoen Entertainment Writer

The billowing trees, the difficult parking spots and pesky meters, the smell of fried goods wafting through the air, people clad in backpacks, an inviting atmosphere — all of these elements can only be found in the North Gate area of Baton Rouge.

The North Gate Merchants Association welcomes all to celebrate their distinct neighborhood on Friday for the eighth annual North Gate Festival. The festival boasts live music, art, food and, of course, beer.

Clarke Cadzow, owner of Highland Coffees, said his shop has been participating since the inception of the fête. Cadzow said the fest includes the musical styles of Pacifico, England in 1819 and headliner Righteous Buddha.

Cadzow also said Baton Rouge Music Studios, a local organization that helps children foster musical talent, will be the first to perform, starting around 5 p.m.

Fall footwear sweeps Accessories are the finishing across campus touch to a great outfit

As cooler weather moves in, students are breaking out their finest footwear. Ankle boots, riding boots and mid-calf boots have all been making appearances this fall.

Ankle boots are great to pair with shorts or dresses when there is just a little chill in the air. For a bit of edginess, SHAMIYAH try a pair of boots KELLEY with stud embelFashion Columnist lishments.

Leah Wong, marketing junior, was spotted in the Quad wearing black lace-up ankle boots with gold hardware by Dolce Vita for Target. She paired them with black leggings with studs on the seams from Forever 21. She raved about the rocker-chic studded trend.

On cooler days when you want to bundle up, go for mid-calf or riding boots. Pair them with dark wash skinny jeans or a pair of leggings with a chiffon button-down blouse for a relaxed, stylish look. Diane Hanson, local artist and staff member in the inter-library loan counter in Middleton Library, wears black boots that hit just below the knee with a heel for some extra height.

She sports her boots with boyfriend jeans.

Molly Gleason, studio art sophomore, wore slouchy cognac ankle boots with a buckle detail. This look is simple and classic. The flat shoe offers comfort that’s perfect for

looking stylish while on the go. Katlyn Cotton, sociology sophomore, wore cognac lace-up ankle boots with contrast stitching detail. The lace-up aspect of the shoe adds an eclectic vibe to any outfit.

Target is a great option for students looking for cute boots on a budget, with no pairs exceeding $100.

My favorite is the Merona Manette.

The tall, sleek riding boots offer style without compromising comfort.

If you’re looking to splurge a little, Frye has an amazing variety of footwear, but it’s best known for its boots. A pair will set you back about $300. However, the boots are made of genuine leather that’s made to last a lifetime. Pick a timeless pair that you’ll be able to wear season after season.

No matter the price point, boots are great because they offer so much variety. Explore rich colors such as cognac and wine to add a bit of luxe to your look, or experiment with different heel heights. Don’t be afraid to wear boots that incorporate fun embellishments like buckles, studs and bows. When it gets cold outside, take a deep breath, keep calm and step away from the Uggs. Try a pair of fashionable boots instead.

Gentlemen, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty. The finely tuned details of a wardrobe can be what sets a man apart from all the others.

I’m not necessarily referring to ultraspecific things like the stitching on pants or the color of a shirt’s buttons – I’m talking about accessories.

Before you get the wrong idea, let me clarify. Accessories are not limited to “manpurses” and fedoras, nor are they reserved only for men with a strong taste in flashy garments. They can be worn by all men who indulge CONNOR in style, and can TARTER Fashion Columnist be used to subtly increase the aesthetic value of an outfit.

I only advocate the use of an exclusive family of accessories. That’s to say, I’m picky when it comes to which accessories to wear, and more importantly, how much. It’s important to realize that accessories, like everything else, can be overdone.

Unfortunately, they are overdone often and have given most men the wrong idea about what it means to accessorize with dress wear.

The best way to avoid overaccessorizing is to limit each area of your body to one accessory and to make sure those accessories benefit the look of the outfit.

When I say each area, I mean each of the limbs, the head and the

torso. There are some exceptions, with the obvious one being a leftwrist accessory and a ring on the left hand. I’m referring more to things like wearing multiple wrist accessories (like a watch and a bracelet) or wearing a necklace with a tie. It might seem obvious, but even some major icons have gone too far with accessories. (Google “Johnny Depp accessories.”)

Once you’ve thinned out your accessories, it’s important to make sure they add something to your look. Certain things don’t work with dress wear, just like certain things don’t work with casual wear. It’s fairly straightforward, but I fear that I will continue to see people wearing athletic sunglasses with buttondown shirts, or bulky sports watches with suits. If you don’t plan on going for a run in your lace-up oxfords, then leave the streamlined, bulky, plastic accessories at home with your sweatbands.

Mismatching aside, there are still many accessories that work magnificently with formal wear.

First and foremost, having even one necktie can transform your entire wardrobe. A tie is a man’s opportunity to add some visual flair to his look without going over the top. The tie has to match the outfit within reason, but a man has more freedom in his tie choice than just about any other garment. Feel free to add some contrast with your tie; there aren’t many other opportunities to do this with formal wear.

After years away from the Bayou State, Keller Williams has returned to Louisiana to take the stage at the Varsity Theatre tonight. The one-man band from Virginia remembers Baton Rouge fondly, having frequented Chelsea’s Cafe and the Varsity during his years on the road.

“I love it, I love it,” Williams said. “I have a good time every time I come to Baton Rouge.”

Williams hopes to bring a fresh sound back to the Baton Rouge scene with his unconventional approach to acoustic dance grooves. With his most recent projects ranging from a dubtinged, reggae-funk side project

When she was in college, Collignon said two of her creative outlets were University art classes, which sometimes involved jewelry making, and her job at a local craft shop. She said her time at the now-closed store heavily influenced her to pursue a career in jewelry design.

“I really got wrapped up in that world at that time,” she said.

“I saw people were actually doing this for a living.”

Even though Collignon was excited to be a designer at the time, her confidence in jewelry making as a full-time career eventually wavered.

After graduating, she moved to Texas and worked as sales representative for a real estate company. But after an epiphany during wisdom teeth surgery, her career goals changed.

Collaborations have colored Williams’ career, but most people know the multi-instrumentalist for his innovative solo work. On tour, Williams’ acoustic act incorporates his own samples recorded live on stage as he plays and then looped to create layers of instrumentation and vocals, all from one man.

Williams attributes his freewheeling style and diverse body of work to everything from New Orleans jazz to reggae music — “which is basically bluegrass music slowed down, with more weed” — to his own self-diagnosed attention deficit disorder.

Recently, Williams has drawn inspiration from current DJs on the rather get my wisdom tooth pulled again than to go back to that job,” she said.

At this point, she said stores are seeking locally made jewelry and contacting her to sell her designs. She said she is planning to launch a new line of earring designs and hire more workers at the company.

Collignon said she is grateful for her success and happy to be pursuing her passion.

Megan Arias, natural resource ecology and management senior, has also cooked up some new twists and traditional styles of pumpkin from pumpkin pie to pumpkin chocolate bars. But she’s also been using other fall ingredients, as well.

“Usually, I’ll roast the seeds — with salt, pepper, and cayenne — of whatever gourd-type thing I cut open,” she said in an email. “Back in high school, I used to make pumpkin bread and pumpkin rolls when cool weather came around.”

Arias learned the ways of the kitchen in middle school from her parents and picked up heavy Mexican food influences in her cooking as a result. But since moving to Baton Rouge, Arias has gathered more ideas, she said.

“I’ve been able to broaden the flavors in the recipe book that hangs out in my head,” she said.

Arias also plans to create various items this month because fall is her favorite time to cook. She likes the in-season ingredients like potatoes, carrots and gourds.

“I’m a huge fan of earthy flavors,” she said. “The great thing about cooking with those flavors is that they don’t need much extra added to them.”

The fall season prompted Romero to present these dishes differently, but she has experimented with recipes since she learned to cook from her parents. Culinary culture is important in Romero’s family, so she learned at a young age, she said.

“You kind of learn through observation,” she said. “I really loved [cooking], so I took it a little past what my parents made — I took it out of the box.”

Seasonal beers aren’t the only drinks that grow popular in fall and winter.

West Chimes Street’s Bacio di Roma took on the seasonal change with pastries, gelatos and specialty drinks, said owner Mario Lozanov. While cold weather may steer the hungry away from chilly items like gelato, customers have expressed interest in seasonal items, Lozanov said.

Holden’s mayoral victory echoes presidential race

BUT HE MEANS WELL Gordon Brillon Columnist I waited with bated breath Tuesday night as the election results came in. It wasn’t until nearly midnight that they did, and my choice was vindicated.

After months of debate over issues spanning from economic development to infrastructure, the incumbent black Democrat defeated his white Republican challenger.

Of course, I’m talking about the Baton Rouge mayoral race, where Kip Holden beat out Mike Walker and two no-party candidates to win a third term. It was even a bit of a landslide, with Holden winning 60 percent of the votes.

But you can be forgiven for thinking I was referring to that other election that happened on Tuesday. There were more than just superficial similarities between the presidential election and the race to lead our little old town.

Mayor-President Holden has attempted to address the city’s economic woes while trying to address his own long-term projects such as revamping the road and sewer systems.

It certainly is a problem that must be addressed, but Walker’s solutions of increasing police presence and activity were ultimately backward and contrary to the progress Holden has made in office so far.

In response to Parker Cramer’s column, “Why I voted for Obama,” readers had this to say: “Ok, lets look at this one at a time to offer you a different perspective: Gay marriage: Nobody really cares. I personally am all for it. I have always resented how happy and carefree gay people are. Let them get married and I can guarantee a seismic shift in attitude.

praised by politicians and community leaders alike for its peaceful, forward-thinking ideas.

Walker’s nine-point plan to stop crime was in direct opposition to the ideals of Project BRAVE. Walker wanted to increase police presence, including building drug and gang task forces. This would only have broken the foundations of trust and understanding that Project BRAVE has laid so far.

Ultimately, Walker failed because he ran essentially as a single-issue candidate, but his approach to his single issue was flawed. Though the campaign got nasty at times — ­ with Walker saying things like “everything Kip Holden does is wrong” — his heart was in the right place.

This is where the difference lies between the mayoral and presidential race. While partisan gridlock will inevitably keep a hold on national politics, Holden has a chance to learn from and incorporate the ideas of his rivals.

Clearly, based on the 34 percent of votes Walker won, crime is an important issue to the people of Baton Rouge. Hopefully, Holden will recognize this and institute more policies in the mold of Project BRAVE, combatting crime not through violent crackdowns, but by bringing the community closer together.

Businessman Gordon Mese ran primarily to raise awareness of the city’s Unified Development Code, the outdated system of zoning regulations.

Mese said he was satisfied that he had raised awareness of the issue, and though Holden has not yet spoken of plans for the UDC, I’m confident it will be in his plans the next four years.

One thing Holden shares with Obama is his feel-good factor – his optimism and ability to bring people together.

Student Government held back by f luff and ego THE TRADITIONALIST CHRIS ORTTE Columnist The national election season may have come to a close Tuesday night, but the University’s election season is just starting to roll.

In my time here at the University, I have voted in every Student Government election. Other than that, I have not paid much mind to the doings of our SG, as I saw its motives, or the occasional lack of, to be petty and born mainly out of personal fluff.

It has become apparent that our SG is much its own clique that represents itself rather than the student body.

Plagued by students who seem to be unable to see farther than the end of their noses, SG — because of the lack of attention it commands from the student body — has been exploited by résumé builders and power-tripping tryhards.

Last year, a total of 6,528 students voted in our Student Government presidential election, followed by 4,953 in the run-off. At the University of Alabama, Matt Calderone was elected with 6,404 votes of out 10,115 total. At Vanderbilt University, 3,661 students voted out of their total student body of only 11,949.

University of Florida students shelled out 10,644 votes.

What’s the deal here? Why can’t our SG draw the voters like other universities can? Do other universities do a better job of addressing significant issues?

Perhaps these other Southeastern Conference

BENJAMIN OLIVER HICKS / The Daily Reveille

Student Government listens on Oct. 31 in the Capital Chambers of the Student Union to the discussion regarding a Greek Caucus.

governments think outside the box of free Scantrons and the Freshman Leadership Council.

Many people see that SG — Senate members in particular — take their jobs too seriously. But no one cares because the Senate hardly passes any substantive legislation.

Former Business College Council President and E.J. Ourso College of Business Senator Stephen H. Breaud’s comments on his experiences in SG shed some peculiar light on the situation. “[Student Government] had more drama than a group of high school freshmen,” he said. “It seemed like senators from different colleges would dedicate all

of their free time to making new rules for Student Government that did not benefit their constituents in any way.”

SG President Taylor Cox said reports on SG should be sure to distinguish between legislative, executive and judicial branches, which is fair because the Senate seems to bear the brunt of the criticism.

A recent waste of time in the Senate would include the establishment of the Greek Caucus, and even as a Greek, I don’t believe having this caucus is a productive measure. Caucuses only create factions and in this case, the Greek community is being more alienated on a campus that

already has a hard time getting along with it.

Some things have led me to believe that members and committees are enjoying their position titles much more than they are fulfilling them.

First, SG’s website is far from updated. The last featured news update was April 15, 2012.

The last Senate meeting minutes posted are from Feb. 23, 2011.

Other over zealous areas include the executive branch with a large staff mainly comprised of assistant directors — sometimes double assistants — who themselves find trouble staying informed of what is actually going on within SG. It is evident

the principles behind this are not based on necessity, but rather back scratching.

Consolidation of the executive branch would cut fat, reducing confusion and washing out the inefficiencies a bureaucracy brings.

The University needs a professional leadership community that is not obsessed with writing as much legislation as possible so as to fool themselves into believing they’re making a difference.

There is a need for a unified leadership community that is a respectable liaison between the student body and the administration.

SG will find that once it starts representing its own 100year tradition and the University with the prestige they deserve, that SG, as a whole, will climb real ladders and their résumés will precede them.

So, young bureaucrats, take this as a challenge to do something about this self-concerned entity that was established to be a service entity. Change something. Get outside of the “Sigma Gamma” clique and push for genuine initiatives — not personal agendas that you have convinced yourself other people are concerned about.

Star Wars does not need another trilogy by Disney MANUFACTURING DISCONTENT DAVID SCHEUERMANN Columnist The Star Wars franchise holds a special place in my heart.

The films that make up the original trilogy were the first movies I can remember watching – and on laserdisc of all things. I owned multiple lightsabers as a child and probably dressed up as Darth Vader for one too many Halloweens.

I still watch these films at least once annually for a healthy dose of nostalgia because they’re just that damn good.

But when I heard last week that the series’ creator, George Lucas, sold the franchise to Disney and announced a new Star Wars trilogy coming out in 2015, all I could think was, “No. That’s not

true. That’s impossible.”

After enduring the prequels – movies I admittedly enjoyed as a child but quickly outgrew as an adult – I had hoped the legacy of Star Wars could live on through the original trilogy’s success and impact without any further tainting. This news struck me as a great disturbance in the force.

That isn’t to say it’s completely improbable these new Star Wars movies could be a success.

It has long been rumored that Star Wars was meant to be a ninefilm series. An original story that includes minor roles from the original cast could be exactly what the franchise needs to revive itself.

Entertainment Weekly has already reported that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have all expressed interest in reprising their roles as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

These movies will also have

more freedom to maneuver than the latest trilogy.

The prequels were limited in that their conclusion was already set and it was all about setting the stage for the originals. Key events alluded to in the originals, like the “clone wars,” had to be included for continuity.

The new trilogy won’t have to suffer from that weakness and can go in any direction they wish.

Additionally, Disney is a capable company that can revive Star Wars’ image and make this trilogy a success. Disney’s Pixar films have a consistent record of critical acclaim, and its relationship with the comic book company Marvel brought us this year’s most successful movie, “The Avengers.”

However, while I enjoyed “The Avengers,” it wasn’t my favorite superhero movie of the year. I was much more attracted to the depth brought by “The Dark

Knight Rises” – a depth that can similarly be found in the original Star Wars films.

If you pay attention to “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi,” you may notice a change from the first movie. While the first Star Wars film was very much an entertaining action/adventure story, the last two films offered much more character growth and struggle.

The final two chapters in the original trilogy almost solely revolved around the personality struggle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and introduced much deeper, adult-oriented themes.

Try as I might, I can’t see Disney producing a film as dark as “Empire” or a battle of wills as deep and enthralling as the one among the Emperor, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in “Return of the Jedi.”

There’s also that nagging voice in the back of my head saying Disney will focus the trilogy toward children and only want to cash in on the franchise’s merchandise.

And that’s what is really worrying me.

The original trilogy may have captured my imagination as a child, but it still holds my interest as an adult and as a cinephile. It deserves a worthy successor that can stand its ground as a high-quality movie.

Otherwise, it should not be made.
