A joint effort of the Southern University Police Department, Louisiana State Police and other local law enforcement agencies netted five arrests Monday in connection with the theft of televisions from A.W. Mumford Stadium. LSP assisted SUPD in apprehending three juveniles and two adults. SUPD Interim Chief Terry Landry told reporters a 17-year-old male is still being sought in connection with the arrests. Monday’s roundup involves the thefts of 13 of approximately 17 televisions stolen over a period of months during the 2009-10 academic year from the new Mumford Stadium Fieldhouse. The adults arrested include Trey Brown, 19, 1036 Baranco Street, and Avughtee Jones, 17, unknown address. LSP issued a warrant for Donovan Burrell, 17, of 1864 Success Street. Brown, Jones and Burrell are not SU students. Police took two 15-year-old boys and a 16-yearold boy into custody Monday morning. Brown was arrested on four counts of principle to burglary and 13 counts of felony theft. Jones, Burrell and the three juveniles were arrested on 14 counts of burglary and 13 counts of felony theft. Landry said the remaining television thefts could be the work of another group of thieves. At least one television set has been recovered, and SUPD and LSP have information that would lead them to those in possession of more of the stolen TVs. “We expect to make more See arrests page 3

Show goes on for Jukebox by patrick galloWay DIGEST STAFF WRITER
The Southern University Marching Band has added another away game to its schedule courtesy of the Student Government Association. Due to funds provided by the SGA, the Human Jukebox will be able to travel to Jackson, Miss., when the Jaguars play Jackson State Oct. 16. The SGA contributed $13,700 to the band’s travel expense with $9,600 covering the
transportation cost and $4,100 covering the cost of meals. A check was presented to the band Thursday during Sumner’s presidential address were he challenge the community to invest in the band, which he considered an “identifier of the university.” SGA President Demetrius Sumner said he acknowledged the Jackson State game to be a game that the students in Baton Rouge will have simple access to and a game with a lot of hype. “I just felt like Jackson
State was the big away game of the season.” In consideration for the band, Sumner said he wanted to make a statement that the band is not being taken for granted. The university has pride and respect for the band and its talents. With reductions in various areas of the SGA, they were able to save sufficient amount of money to cover band travel. See band page 3

AWS week begins with empowerment By evan taylor digest STAFF writer
Tiffany Magee, state director of Miss Black Louisiana, empowered and inspired attendees at “Empowering Our Women” Monday in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom. “Empowering Our Women” was presented by the Association of Women’s Students and SU chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. KoiEles Lomas, a senior political science major from Gonzales, said, “Through this program, we as African American women were able to have an honest conversation about who we are and why it’s important to carry ourselves with pride, class, and respect.” The program began with an icebreaker called Who am I? The icebreaker consisted of slips of paper with descriptions of empowering women and attendees had to guess the women’s names. Lomas continued, “We must not comply with the status quo, but always strive to go above and beyond what is expected of us.” A brief power point presentation was exhibited about empowering women. Attendees were able to see contributions from women such as; the woman
who invented the hairbrush to the women who were educators. The slideshow included; Mary McLeod Bethune, Mahalia Jackson, Zora Neale Hurston and Wilma Rudolph. “Personally, I feel like the women at tonight’s program were significantly empowered by the various levels of inspiration given. We covered various issues and I know that the lovely young women who attended left more inspired than when they came,” said Brittany Robinson, a senior psychology major from Ypsilanti, Mich. Magee explained the cost and course of greatness in three major themes including; greatness from sacrifice, greatness from service, and greatness from focus and not being silly. She opened with a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. “Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.” Magee defined “serve” as an acronym. “To serve you need to See the future, Engage and developing others, Re-invent yourself, Value the results and relationships, and Embody your passion,” said Magee. Women shared their passions of advocating for the homeless, abused children, dance, and shopping. Magee stressed the need for community effort she said, “If
band from page 1 Salaries for SGA members this year have been cut in half. “We are making a lot of saving in other places, so we just group them all up and put it towards this trip,” Sumner Said. Sumner also added that the SGA hopes that this contribution to the band will incite something in the community to assist them a little more because the SGA doesn’t have a big enough budget to fund all the away games. “I think the funds that SGA has given the band are a very humble act of kindness on the part of the president and the organization,” said Lawrence Jackson, director of bands. Jackson said that there is an ongoing effort by the student
body, alumni and various university affiliates to see if funds are secure to get the band to more away games in the schedule. Capital One has dedicated $10,000 in assisting the band in traveling to the Oct. 23 Prairie View game and various alumni are contributing funds for the Alcorn State game. Jackson said that band members were applauding when he made the announcement about the band going to Jackson State. “I am appreciative of the SGA for finding the funds for us to go to the game, so we can be entertaining to everyone else as they requested,” said Caleb Dunbar, band member and junior from Jonesville, La.

Law enforcement officials have enough evidence to make arrests. Those people can either cooperate or be arrested. If they turn in the TVs, “we may be able to work with them,” Landry said. In a related incident, LSP announced it arrested SUPD
officer Kris Washington for simple possession of marijuana when officers executed a search warrant of her residence at 11021 Plank Road, Apartment 65. The 33-year-old Washington, an SUPD officer for nearly two years, was arrested along with 32-year-old Paul Banks. Landry said Washington has been suspended without pay, pending the results of the investigation.

we don’t support each other who is going to support us?” She concluded with emphasis on the need for young ladies not to depict women in music videos but, be presented as young women. The program ended with words of inspiration from the audience. Kenisha Solete, a senior child development major from New Orleans said, “My aunt the most empowering woman in my life.
She is the first college graduate. She was in nursing and lead my family. It is always good to look up to a person of leadership.” Each statement of empowerment gave inspiration to the others attending. Some were inspired by being the first to be in college in their families and others inspired their families by leaving home and becoming successful.
The Student Government Association released plans for the newly acquired Lacumba Fund money, Monday along with the artists for Homecoming week. After the passing of the referendum to acquire the Lacumba Fund, the SGA coffers gained nearly $320 thousand. A $10,000 portion will be dedicated to concerts and related expenses, in the form of Homecoming expenses. The Homecoming Comedy Show will be Monday, Oct. 4 at the F.G. Clark Activity Center. Steve Brown is the headliner for the show, and Lav Luv and Howard Hall are featured comedians. Jermaine Johnson will host the show. The Homecoming Concert will be Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Clark Center. Rick Ross, Trina and Avant are scheduled to perform. Opening acts are still being negotiated. The comedy show and concert are free to Southern students with valid student ID. Tickets for the general public will only be available to individuals 18 and older. Tickets for the comedy show are $15 and $30 for the concert. Tickets go on sale Monday, Sept. 27.

Southern head coach Stump Mitchell believes the Jaguars’ embarrassing loss a week ago could be the result of his young team, too immature to handle the success of winning their season opener on a national televised stage. ¬ “We were not able to handle success,” Mitchell said. “We came out and didn’t practice extremely well the following week and as a result, we ended up losing a home game (to Arkansas-Monticello).” Southern (1-1, 0-0) now must refocus as it heads into its Southwestern Athletic Conference opener Saturday at Alabama A&M (1-2, 0-1). “Now we are going to have to see if we handle failure better than we did success — and I’m hoping we will.” Dropped balls, inconsistencies and injuries are all good reasons why the Jaguars have been unsuccessful in offensive production early on, but much of the reason lies with the priorities of the young players, according to Mitchell. “One reason why we lost that game, it didn’t have that much to do with Arkansas-Monticello, they did alright,” said Mitchell. “We spent too much time worrying about our gloves, worrying

about our pants being over our knees, rather than catching the football or blocking the right guy.” Mitchell has stressed discipline since he was named head coach, and it seems that no one is exempt from these policies. Some players have reverted to the old laissezfaire policies they once rumored to be used to under the helm of Pete Richardson. “I don’t want to be the guy coming in here trying to make this a bad year for seniors,” said Mitchell. “I don’t want to be that guy; that’s not my philosophy. I came in to win right now, and I really want this to be a good year for seniors, but these guys have committed some mistakes and I’m not going to sacrifice the chance
of having an opportunity to win, simply because I am playing some seniors that are messing up.” “They have to get their act together and if they don’t, then I will have to turn the other cheek and go with something that will allow us something for the future.” In week 1, starter McGinty experienced what trainers called “body cramps.” Dray Joseph entered the game at the half and pulled off a come from behind victory. In week 2, he was asked to step in yet another time — at almost the same time late in the first half — with a different result, however. Neither quarterback has had time to jell with the offensive strategy; therefore,

Lady GaGa joins DADT debate By sam ross digest staff writer
As if being the biggest superstar in the world is not enough, Lady GaGa is spearheading the abolition of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military legislation. In just a few short years, GaGa, 24, is being called the Queen of Pop in America the world over. The superstar’s fanbase spans across many demographics and several genres of music including pop, dance, rock, R&B, and hip-hop. To date, GaGa has sold well over 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide. Forbes lists her fouth on the list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities. All of this is a major feat for an artist with less than five years under their belt. The singer is also one of the first to reach over one billion music video views online. GaGa is highly deemed as the Madonna of this generation for her risqué fashions and cutting edge style. Madonna has even told Rolling Stone that she see “[her]self in Lady GaGa.” The pop megastar’s first album “The
Fame” spawned a plethora of hits including “Bad Romance” which she just won Video of the Year for at this year’s Video Music Awards. Though GaGa won the most coveted award of the evening and seven other awards, setting the record for the most wins in one night, the singer was on another mission that entire evening. From arriving on the red carpet with four gay discharged soldiers to wearing the now infamous “meat dress,” GaGa used the evening to her advantage for political reasons. The singer is known for making bold statements through her music and fashion; however, she is now trying to get the government to abolish the DADT policy. The DADT policy forces gay and lesbian servicemen and women to live in secrecy or risk being discharged. Last Friday, GaGa released a political message via YouTube and Twitter. In the seven and a half minute clip, the songtress asked her “fellow Americans” to help in the abolition of the DADT policy. GaGa, who is bisexual, credits her gay fanbase for much of her mainstream success. She is held as a rising gay icon.

Recording artist Lady Gaga speaks at a rally in support of repealing the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gay service members, in Portland, Maine, on Monday.
In the video, GaGa reported, “Since [1993], 14,000 Americans have been discharged from the armed forces, refused the right to serve their country and sent home regardless of honorable service or how valuable they may have been to their units [because of their sexual preference.] We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral
implications of homosexuality. We’re asking you to do you job — protect the constitution.” GaGa said that she believes the law is unconstitutional and not being properly or fairly enforced because it allows for gay profiling and gay soldiers to become targets. GaGa boldly stated “I am here to be a voice for my generation.”

The program will also include spoken word performances. The exhibition will be open from Oct. 5- Nov. 18, Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.; featuring borrowed artwork from The Louisiana State Art Museum. The borrowed art includes Charles E.

With a target on his genitalia to stop him from reproducing rather than to kill him.” Rodrick Minor a Fall 2008 graduate presented his work “Rotten Fruits in my Southern Garden,” a work trying to convey

the message of the inhumane treatment of African Americans in the south. “I was playing off of ‘Strange Fruit’ using a photo collage and the lyrics to show how during a certain time African Americans were treated inhumanely,” said Minor. Jazzlyn Whitfield also provided a lino-cut work called “ One lock strand”; a piece about unity in the community and sticking together. “It is a
process that when done right comes out awesome. It was carved on a linoleum pad with eleven colors done one by one. It took about 24 hours straight to finish,” said Whitfield.

PARIS (AP) — The co-author of a new book about French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy defended his sources Friday amid a media buzz over a passage that cites Michelle Obama as calling life in the White House “hell.” Mrs. Obama’s spokeswoman has denied the first lady said such a thing, and a spokesman at the French Embassy in Washington said Bruni-Sarkozy “distances herself completely” from the book, which appeared in French bookstores on Thursday. The unauthorized book, called “Carla et les ambitieux,” or “Carla and the Ambitious Ones,” describes the scene of a March dinner at the White House, during which the two first ladies were purported to have had a conversation in English in which they compared notes on their experiences as wives of presidents. The book claims Mrs. Obama said, “Don’t even talk to me about it, it’s hell. I can’t stand it.” Author Yves Derai stood by the explosive dialogue, insisting it was based on interviews with “reliable sources” — though he declined to name them, in accordance, he said, with his journalistic principles.

SPEAK OUT
Meeting a quota? Have you ever wondered how much money the people write tickets for Campus Police make a year? How do they explain their job title to their friends and family? How do they sleep at night knowing their job is breaking ALREADY broke college student’s pocket? Do they tell their friends and family, “Oh I’m a ticket writer”? I bet there is some illustrious title for them. Really, come on walking around in the August heat with a backpack, a pen and book full of tickets. That doesn’t sound like a fun job or a high paying one. Do they have contests to see how many tickets they can give out in one day? Is there a quota they have to meet each month? Do they get commission on the number of tickets they
BREANNA PAUL write? Do they purposely check parking lots from 4:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. waiting to give tickets? Do they find joy in placing tickets under people’s windshield? Do they get overly excited when they see student’s car parked in a parking lot. Never mind that student is at work study, only to spend their whole check on parking tickets. Where does all the money go? Think about it, how many tickets are given out in one day? Just imagine, a week, a month, a semester! If Campus
Police would use the money from the tickets I’m sure Southern University wouldn’t be in a $27 million deficit. However, some students knowingly park in the wrong areas (and deserve to be ticketed) for whatever reason but who wants to walk in the sun, just to go sit in classrooms with the air on furlough? There needs to be some kind of student lot closer than the Mini Dome, especially during these hot summer months. Someone I know recently received a ticket for parking in the faculty lot AFTER 4:30 p.m. In fact, the ticket was written (according to Campus Police) at 7:48 p.m. How many faculty members are in their offices at all not to mention after 4:30 p.m.? Students have night classes and need to park
close to the building because as we all know this part of town is not the safest for a female or anyone to be walking around alone when night classes let out, around 8:30 p.m. If Campus Police wants to personally escort everyone from their class to the MiniDome parking lot or to their residence hall on campus, then so be it. Campus Police supposedly has a shuttle that runs after 4:30 p.m. on a “need basis.” Who has seen signs about this so-called shuttle? How many people knew about this shuttle before reading this editorial? Take your time answering. Students and Campus Police both need to work communicating with each other because all this unnecessary ticketing has to be stopped!
What events are you looking forward to during homecoming week?
