Your Mom’s Restaurant & Bar opened in downtown Hammond in 2010 where it swiftly grew in the community becoming the Official Restaurant and Bar of Southeastern Athletics and opening a second location in Baton Rouge. The owners have recently opted to change the name and Hammond location in hopes of better reflecting its inclusive atmosphere. Now called Our Mom’s Restaurant & Bar, it has moved to 205 E. Thomas St. “We’ve expanded into multiple locations in two amazing college cities and have seen the restaurant and bar become a regular hangout for a lot of people,” said Co-Owner Trent Fresina. “So, as we’ve grown, we’ve also known that we wanted to reflect this feeling of inclusivity, of being a big, extended family that runs from Hammond to Baton Rouge in any way we could.” Fresina explained that restaurants are constantly changing in small ways to stay relevant in the culinary world. “At Our Mom’s, one of the things that is consistently evolving is our menu,” said Fresina. “We really try to find a balance between keeping the staples that have become customer favorites while

also creating new and innovative food or beverage options for them to fall in love with.” Another change the restaurant has made over the years is in the alcoholic options offered. “In our early days, it was all standard, college bar options,” said Co-Owner J.P. Ngo. “We still have those same options, but now we are also creating handcrafted, specialty cocktails and making a lot of our own ingredients.” The owners strive to model the restaurant around the golden rule, treating others how they themselves would like to be treated, by creating an atmosphere they would like to experience. “In our minds, it’s a wide range of menu options that are delicious, freshly made and affordable,” said Ngo. “It’s strong customer service and a great atmosphere. So, that’s where we focus our energy.” The owners are grateful to their loyal customers who have supported the restaurant through each of its changes. “With each move, we have been able to keep serving those same customers while expanding our capacity and appealing to new patrons as well,” said Fresina. “Since opening our newest location, we’ve seen business grow exponentially. The support has been incredible, and we are very

appreciative to our community.” The owners feel that it is the comfortable atmosphere reminiscent of a mother’s kitchen, that is the restaurant’s core, that allows customers to easily accept these changes. “Members of the community, who we’ve heard from, are telling us that they love the new atmosphere,” said Ngo. “They like the new building, the additional seating and the second-floor outdoor space. Going back to the selling points of Our Mom’s, as long as we continue to provide those, changes like location seem to be generally well-received.” The expansion allows the restaurant to accommodate more customers, which aligns with the owners’ hopes of reaching a wider audience while increasing customer satisfaction. “The new location and bigger space gives us the opportunity to serve more patrons than ever before while also giving them the perfect environment to dine and socialize,” said Ngo. “It’s always a great thing when you can give members of the community a place to gather, and with our expanded capacity, we are able to accept larger parties and give customers a new venue where they can come together and celebrate.”

As the days get longer and hotter, sun exposure poses an increasing risk to individuals’ health making it important to be aware of some safety tips for this bright season. Nurse practitioner and Director of the University Health Center Andrea Peevy discussed the importance of the precautions everyone should take to be in their best health this summer. “First, of course, is sunscreen,” said Peevy. “The importance of using sunscreen cannot be overemphasized. Use broad spectrum sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB. Avoid sun from 10-4. Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.” Peevy also explained the importance of selecting proper eyewear. “All sunglasses are not created equal,” said Peevy. “The color of the lens does not indicate any protection from damaging rays. Some sunglasses can actually harm eyes as they cause the pupil to dilate and do not block damaging rays.” Extended exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays has been linked to eye damage such as cataracts and certain forms of cancer as well as some short-term conditions like photokeratitis. Peevy explained that people should look for labels on eyewear that read “UV 400” and that they prevent up to 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB light rays. “Wear glasses that wrap around the face to block exposure to damaging rays from around the glasses,” said Peevy. Peevy discussed why staying hydrated is essential, especially during the summer. “Stay hydrated with water or electrolyte beverages,” said Peevy. “If drinking alcohol, the risk of dehydration and heat-related illness and heat stroke increases.” With the human body being approximately 60 percent water, maintaining proper hydration is essential to many key functions such as optimizing blood pressure and body temperature, lubricating joints, aiding in the digestive and urinary systems and much more. Some fun ways to stay hydrated include infusing your water with fresh fruit to add flavor and vitamins, eating fresh fruits and vegetables dense with water such as cucumbers, bell peppers, watermelon, spinach and grapefruit, and drinking coconut water. Coconut water is rich in electrolytes and minerals making it an ideal natural and flavorful method of hydrating. It can also be frozen as ice cubes or ice pops for a summer treat. Peevy warned everyone to be aware of any symptom that could indicate heat stroke such as a headache, dizziness, nausea and red skin, and if any combination of these symptoms occurs, medical attention

The tour that teaches lessons How a tour with the upper administration revealed points of improvement LARSHELL GREEN Editor-in-Chief

Many students take orientation tours prior to beginning collegiate journeys. For student worker Jacob Dupuis, a tour guide in the Office of Admissions, his tour inspired him to want to be a part of the conversations incoming students have with members of the university. One of his most recent responsibilities with the Office of Admissions was giving a “President’s Tour” to University President Dr. John L. Crain, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tena Golding, Vice President for Administration and Finance Sam Domiano, Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Eric Summers and Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management Dr. Kay Maurin. The senior marketing major has worked for the office for the past three and a half years. His main goal for the tour was to build connections with those receiving them. For the “President’s Tour,” he aimed to be more brief than usual and cover major topics. The biggest change in preparation was that the recipients of this tour were not hearing the stories he would tell for the first time. “My goals for the tour was to do my best as possible but always be able to connect to them and build a lasting impression,” said Dupuis.

Crain was impressed with Dupuis’ skills as a tour guide throughout the process. “He did an outstanding job,” said Crain. “We started in the student union then visited several parts of campus, including student housing. Taking the tour was not only a lot of fun, it was quite informative. To be totally honest, it was very impressive. I would enroll here if I was looking for a college.” Several changes have been made in the attempts to improve campus tours that are given to prospective students and families. Crain explained that Maurin and Director of Admissions Anthony Ranatza developed the “President’s Tour” for members of senior management to witness these changes. “They believed it would be helpful for members of senior management to effectively see the university through the eyes of prospective students and their families,” said Crain. The tour provided the administration with an opportunity to seek more points for improvement during tours. Crain said, “While we were all very pleased with what we saw and heard on the tour, we did learn about a few things that we can change in order to offer our prospective students and family members an even more impressive experience.” Dupuis found several points of improvements for tours such as increasing interaction

They just become more professional, but still think like a 27-year-old.” Dupuis remains grateful that his hard work in the department contributed to him being chosen to lead the tour he received positive feedback on. “I enjoyed hearing back from my boss and Dr. Maurin about what an amazing job I Jacob Dupuis has worked for the Office of Admissions for the past three and a half years.

New to an American summer and the beach All throughout my childhood, I have only seen the sun rise from behind the hills and rays of light slowly peek from gaps between trees. As the day passed, the sun slowly disappeared behind the trees again. I never saw the sun rising from the ocean and disappearing behind it. I was born and grew up in a Prakriti Adhikari valley. So, all I ever really saw Staff Reporter were the hills and the distant snow-clad mountains glistening red and orange with each sunrise and sunset. The biggest body of water my eyes ever saw before coming to the United States was Phewa Lake, which has an area of 1.71 square miles. The culture of spending time on the beach in the summer is different to me. So is the idea of having an almost three-month holiday during the summer. It is one of those culture shocks,

which took me a little while to understand. However, I really love this way of relaxing and spending quality time in the ocean, calming my mind and body with every wave of water hitting the shore. This is my first summer in the United States, so I don’t really have an experience about the beach and summer itself. I believe spending time on the beach has a similar therapeutic effect as seeing the reflection of the snowy mountain in a lake. The ocean was something I only saw on the television, and the only stories about the beach were the ones I read in books. The first time I saw the ocean and walked barefoot on the beach was on Galveston Beach before I came to Louisiana to start my undergraduate studies. Coming from a landlocked country, that was a unique experience for me. The evening when I saw the sun slowly hiding below the ocean, as if diving inside it, was a

What is the rudest thing you’ve encountered on the beach?

majestic beauty my eyes encountered. Half an hour of walking with my cousin on the beach became one of the best memories of my life. The average maximum temperature in Kathmandu Valley, where I grew up, is about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer lasts for only about two months, and as someone who has always had long holidays during summer, you might be surprised to hear that I never really had summer holiday. But, I am really looking forward to having a great experience during my first summer here. Summer gives people joy in life. It is one of those excuses for people to come out of the hectic schedules and spend time with their family and friends. Running after work every day makes life monotonous. Like everything else, our human brain also needs to be recharged, and summer is the best medication for it. Students, on the other hand, utilize this break to earn a little money for

their tuition and fees for the entire year. In one way, the vacation not only gives students time to refresh their minds from studies but also gives them an option to be independent. Summer not only gives people the joy of sun bathing and beautiful tanned skin, it also gives them memories that can be cherished for life. Nature has the strength of charging mind and body with energy, so the ocean has that power. This summer, I also look forward to having an experience of going to the beach. I want to have stories I can share with my friends back in Nepal. I want to add more shells to the five I brought from Galveston Beach back in August of 2017. I want to have memories that will make me calm when I am struggling with tests, assignments and deadlines. Having come from the opposite end of the world, I am really excited for my first summer in the United States.

Roseanne Barr, let’s talk about racism

The first amendment has become the greatest accomplishment and curse of our nation. In the time of the “There was a little, 5-year-old girl. She built Time’s Up and #MeToo a sandcastle, and she wasn’t next to her movements, you would sandcastle but within proximity of it, and this think that a woman in the guy came over and totally stomped it.” entertainment business, a Maddi Barringer huge position of power, Freshman, Social Studies Education Larshell Green would not spew hate Editor-in-Chief speech publicly. Maybe I should have “The rudest behavior I saw at the beach was been surprised by Roseanne Barr’s tweet, kids digging a hole and leaving it wide open, but I wasn’t. Every minority feels the sting and people kept tripping in it.” of harsh words, looks and actions every Rachel Sullivan single day. Sophomore, Nursing It’s the sales worker that follows you around the store because you “look” suspicious, the teacher who assumes that you aren’t highly knowledgeable of any “The rudest behavior I ever encountered culture except for your own, or the friend who becomes so infatuated with your at a beach was when I was in Puerto Rico. culture that they misappropriate it as their I couldn’t speak Spanish, and I was getting own. looked at by a bunch of the locals.” I say all of this to say that racism and Derrick McGalliard stereotyping has been a large part of our Senior, Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment country since it started. Its ugly roots remain embedded in our culture. “The rudest behavior I’ve ever encountered on Stereotyping and gender bias don’t the beach would be when an old couple stole only exist for minorities. Everyone has our beach chairs.” something about their physical appearance Alesha Cranmer that makes people assume something about Freshman, Nursing them.

For me, it’s my skin color and braids. I recall being hassled in Walmart almost two months ago. An out of uniform officer abruptly stopped me in the line and asked for my name. I was suspicious and refused to state it without some explanation. It then became clear to me that I was being considered as a theft suspect. Because I was wearing a burgundy sweater, which was about three shades off from the purple dress the actual suspect was wearing, the officer confronted the first young black woman he thought fit the vague description. Upon looking at the apprehended woman, I noticed that she didn’t have braids. Her hair was straight and in a ponytail. She was also about two shades darker than me. None of that mattered, though because by then, another mark had been left on me. This was a harsh reminder of the labels that society will forever cast on me. This is the root of the pain that people have felt because of the tweet. I could not first discuss the events surrounding Barr’s tweet without discussing the real issue at hand: racism. To discuss the event as anything other than that would make me a ploy to the media circus that I refuse to be a part of. On Tuesday, May 29, Barr tweeted this message about Barack Obama’s senior advisor Valerie Jarrett: “If the muslim

brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” The insult of referring to AfricanAmericans as monkeys has been used to dehumanize us. Barr knew this was wrong as soon as she did it. It was not a mistake. She only apologized because her job and reputation were on the line. She even blamed the message on being under the influence of Ambien, to which the creator, Sanofi US, replied that: “racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi product.” This isn’t the first time that Barr has committed questionable and controversial acts in public. She sang the national anthem off key and made sexual gestures in 1990. In 2009, she posed for a satirical issue of Heeb magazine and ate cookies out of an oven dressed as Adolf Hitler. In no way am I excusing Barr for the comments she made. Her new reboot of “Roseanne” was pulled off of ABC, and her reruns aren’t shown on television. She was rightfully punished. Let this situation remain etched in our minds and not become “stale news.” This should serve as an example to all public figures that irresponsibly say or tweet inappropriate comments. Let’s continue to have conversations about the dangers of racism and stereotyping. And for goodness sake, use social media wisely.

A magical night to celebrate members ZACHARY ARAKI A&E Editor

The Hammond Regional Arts Center honored its members for their support at its annual gala. On Friday, June 1, the arts center invited its members for a celebratory night of food, a free raffle, live music and entertainment from groups such as La La Tribal Belly Dance and the Pandorium Belly Dance Company. Besides showing gratitude to members for their support, the “Magical, Mystical Membership Gala” also celebrated the arts and “what’s vibrant and alive here in Hammond” according to Executive Director of HRAC Maureen Joyce. Joyce hopes to engage the community and build further support for HRAC’s mission. Joyce said, “It’s important to encourage membership because membership helps support our mission, and then that little bit of dedication and small membership fee shows a commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in the community and giving us those kinds of experiences that are valuable.” Michael Miller and his wife became members of HRAC on the night of the gala. He believes supporting the arts in this way will help get young people to better appreciate artists’ work. “We should keep it going, keep it alive for the younger generation,” said Miller. “I think they would appreciate it if they see it. If you get involved in that, they might want to get involved with it also.” Martie Fellom attended the gala for Fellom Ballet School as a member of HRAC. She appreciates the variety of art showcased at the arts center and introduced to the community. “Right now, we’re experiencing performing arts with the musicians,” said Fellom. “We saw the belly dancers, and then we’re surrounded by visual art. It’s a collection that I think is really good for the community. We wanted to support their big efforts for trying to bring the community together.” June McNeil shared why she recently became a member of the arts center. “I’ve just been putting it off but have wanted to for a while,” said McNeil. “The real instigator for me was that my granddaughter wanted to take the art class, so I think that was impetus for me to go ahead and join and get her in here. I would become more active that way.” Concurrent with the gala, HRAC also displayed the

photography of Josephine Sacabo, the largest collection of her work to date in one setting, according to Joyce. The display inspired the theme for this year’s gala. “Photography is one of those forms that is usually taking us and telling us what’s there or to look closely at what’s there,” said Joyce. “Her photographs ask us to question what’s there. They have a sense of mystery and even a sense of magic about them, and what’s wonderful about that is that helped inspire our ‘Magical, Mystical Membership Gala’ and all things that have a sense of mystery.” McNeil wishes she had attended the exhibition’s opening reception to learn more about Sacabo’s artwork. “I would love to know how these are made, and I love looking at them,” said McNeil. “My daughter would love them too. I need to bring her here and let her see them, but they’re interesting. They’re so in-depth. They have so many layers of thought that I see when I look at them. I just would like to know more about them now.” McNeil believes supporting the arts is important for children to experience more artistic endeavors. “They need that creativity,” said McNeil. “They need the outlet for expression in so many different ways, and I enjoy the creativity. I love to see the artists that come here, and I love coming to the events because they’re always fun and exciting.” In the study “Arts Education and Positive Youth Development,” Kenneth Elpus states “each additional year of arts study was significantly associated with a 20 percent reduction in the likelihood that an adolescent would ever be suspended outof-school” while “each additional year of music study was significantly associated with an 11 percent reduction in the likelihood that an adolescent would ever consume alcohol.” According to the same study, “former students of music and theater were significantly more optimistic as adults than were former non-arts students.” Joyce discussed the significance of art in a person’s life. “We know that the arts improve the quality of life for everyone in our community regardless of where they are on the socioeconomic scale because most of our events like most of our openings are open and free to the public year-round,” said Joyce. “During our gallery hours, anyone can come in here, look and experience the art.” For Fellom, art can have a positive impact on someone and change a person’s perspective on life.

Fellom said, “I do feel the arts can help a person who perhaps might be thinking about something, and they get transformed when they have an experience either viewing the visual arts or seeing a performing arts work. I think it can change their moment in time, and what I think is so vital to the community is to be able to have a journey in experiencing the arts because life is short.” Miller shared his thoughts on the gala. “It’s really great,” said Miller. “We’re enjoying the heck out of it. I’m glad I came. If I wasn’t here, I would be watching ‘Gunsmoke’ on TV or something.” Joyce encourages people to view the exhibition outside the gala during normal gallery hours when there are fewer distractions. “Art is certainly one of those terms that are even difficult to define in an objective manner or definitive manner,” said Joyce. “It is definitely a subjective term, but we look at it through a kind of lens and understanding of principles and elements of design, and she certainly embodies all of those with her photographic work.” Anyone can become a member of HRAC by going to the website or visiting the arts center. Membership is $30 for individuals, $20 for seniors and military members, $15 for students, $50 for couples and $100 for families. Members are eligible for discounts on HRAC’s programs and events including

On being an art director and pursuing creativity professional and personal life. Although he was accepted to his dream college during high school, Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD, tuition and other living costs led Romain to instead attend Southeastern Louisiana University. The decision resulted in Romain’s initial irritation that affected his coursework. Romain said, “I took that frustration out by blowing off classes and not putting forth any real effort, but in my sophomore year, I took an art class with Troy Wingard, who ironically, used to teach at Art Director of 5 Stones Media Tony Romain works on design to satisfy the needs of various clients. Romain moved up to the position after joining the marketing agency as an intern in 2012. Courtesy of Tony Romain ZACHARY ARAKI A&E Editor

2013 alumnus Tony Romain has found an outlet for his creative endeavors as the art director of 5 Stones Media. Romain currently works for the marketing agency remotely from North Carolina. When Director of Client Services Kim Walker gave a presentation in one of Dr. Terri Tará Lopez’s marketing classes, Romain became interested in joining 5 Stones Media. “When I heard they did some website design, I became really eager because that was something I didn’t know much about at the time and absolutely wanted to learn,” said Romain. “So after class, I walked up, shook her hand, introduced myself and told her I was interested in hearing about their intern possibilities. From there, the story has just

been writing itself.” In 2012, Romain began working at 5 Stones Media as an intern. The agency that opened in 2011 was in a relatively young stage at the time. “The company was very small then, and I didn’t even have a desk, but I was able to start learning more about website design and how to work with clients,” said Romain. As the art director, Romain’s tasks include meeting with clients and running a design critique as well as working with a team to create the design for clients. Romain enjoys the variety of working at 5 Stones Media. “When you work with an agency like this, no two days are ever really the same,” said Romain. “We’ve got clients from all walks of life, different kinds of businesses, who all need different solutions.

Today I can be working on a brochure for a commercial construction company that’s heavy on photography, and tomorrow I might be churning out sketches for logo concepts for a fisherman or a museum.” According to Romain, there are too many projects and “humbling experiences,” ranging from laser tag parks to crawfish cookers to the parish government for him to choose a single favorite one. However, he discussed the enjoyment that he finds in some of the projects. “Restaurants are usually a lot of fun to work with,” said Romain. “Oftentimes we’d get to do photoshoots of their menu items, and they’d usually just let us eat whatever we wanted after, so that’s always an enjoyable thing to get paid to do.” Romain believes the university helped him in his

SCAD. He pulled me aside and really helped me realize that I was wasting my talent by being angsty and helped me discover my potential.” Romain cited instruction such as from Bethany Souza in photography and Nancy Collins in typography and design for helping him further discover his capabilities and passion as an artist. Romain said, “All of my art and design professors really helped to push and nurture me, but the icing on the cake are the relationships that I’ve built with classmates, the

The life of a culinary artist: Balancing family and cuisine LARSHELL GREEN

“The career in itself is difficult when you have a family and throw kids into the mix,” said Garic. “The hours can be difficult. Like anything in life, you try to find a balance. Work hard, come in early and stay late. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Try to have fun.” Garic describes a culinary artist as someone with a good skill set, technique and attitude. He first became inspired to pursue a career as a chef after watching his mother cook while working in a restaurant at 16 years old. His journey to Jacmel Inn began after he graduated from the

We need it almost every day just to survive. When food creates an experience and transcends the everyday to create a memory, we then have a moment of art. This is why guests return year after year to partake in that experience and moment.” Joyce explained how the reputation of a chef can contribute to the selection process of the “CAS.” “Chefs are chosen based on their reputations of creating those kinds of moments,” said Joyce. “Josh Garic has that reputation, and Jacmel Inn has had that reputation for 40 years.

They want to go and make sure they’re visiting a lot of different schools so that they don’t make the wrong decision.” Chevalier stated that although the team is looking for new recruits, the selection process is meticulous. “We want to get the kind of players that are going to come in, make a difference, improve the program and get us going in the right direction,” said Chevalier. “So, we are being a little bit picky, a little bit choosy, and we’re really getting to know the players’ characters and how they are athletically and physically.” Both Simovic and Caluda will undertake workout packets during the summer prior to joining the rest of the team in the preseason on Aug. 6. Following a 3-27 record last season, Chevalier explained the aspects of practice and pregame time that will change to improve the program. “We’re making some cultural changes in our program as a whole, just to have a little more of a mindset of a winning attitude and a little bit more discipline,” said Chevalier. “There’s some new traditions that we’re going to start up coming in this season to make sure that we don’t have a repeat of last year’s record and we’re Volleyball Head Coach Jim Smoot oversees a Lady Lions match.

Examining culture and downsizing ZACHARY ARAKI A&E Editor

Associate Professors of Management and Business Administration Dr. André Honorée and Dr. Mario Krenn studied the relationship between firm performance and employee downsizing in various cultures. The research culminated in the publication of “Firm Performance and Employee Downsizing: The Moderating Role of National Culture” in the Journal of International Business and Economy in December 2017. Krenn said, “This one observation that you make, especially here in the United States, is when firms perform and suffer, when firms perform and go south, the immediate reaction is, ‘OK, we have to also correct for that in our workforce,’ and immediately downsize although there would be many other strategies that firms could pick or pursue. They could restructure in a different way. Maybe they could outsource assets.” Honorée and Krenn tested the research by analyzing data gathered on 1,747 firms across 35 countries, from South Africa to Ireland and Mexico to Israel among others. “Is the relationship also the same in other countries?” said Krenn. “And, yes, we found that other countries pursue this kind of strategy. So, this relationship holds, but the strength of relationships still varies.” To Krenn, cultural sensitivity is an important application of the research findings. “What works in one context here in the United States might not be as smooth in another context,” said Krenn. “So, what works here in terms of employee downsizing, response to firm performance declines, what goes here easily and smoothly might run into big obstacles elsewhere.” The literature review part of the process, finding out what has been done before in the field, showed Honorée and Krenn the unique value of their research. “Either you’re doing something brand new or you’re building upon previous work, finding

something hasn’t been done, doing things a little bit differently, and what you’ll find in literature review is there’s some things out there,” said Honorée. “There’s not a lot, and so I think that was very exciting for us to be doing something that really hasn’t been done, relating the Hofstede framework, which is a cultural framework, is being tied to everything.” Among the relationships tested, was the impact of power distance, or the extent to which individuals accept the distribution of power in society. “We hypothesize that if you had a very stark, a very high power distance, there’s a big difference between me and you, then I would have no problem getting rid of you because I don’t think of you as my equal,” said Honorée. “I would think of you as a person almost. You’re an employee. It’s easier to get rid of lower employees. That was our thought process, testing things that made sense to us.” Honorée and Krenn also tested the impact of uncertainty avoidance, offering Japan as an example of a high degree of uncertainty avoidance. “It’s not uncommon in Japan in economic downturn that the companies’ CEOs would take a pay cut rather than lay people off because people expect that,” said Honorée. “They expect to be taken care of, and you give up something for that. Nothing comes for free.” Honorée found “rejection, waiting and having patience” to be the most challenging aspect of the process. “We all want to know the answer now, and you have to be patient,” said Honorée. “Like we said, we worked on this, fleshed it out. It was sent to another place. It was a mixed decision. Reviewers and the editor made a decision that it wasn’t enough for that journal, so you deal with the rejection. You put a lot of effort and time and hopes, and when it doesn’t work out, then we have to start all over again.” Honorée believes that his and Krenn’s skill sets work well together. “I’m sure they overlap in some ways, but we

When we tackle this, and we’ve worked on other things together, what we’ll call the division of labor like who’s working on which parts, it’s very clear what I should be working on and what he should be working on, and it suits our talents.” Krenn offered advice to anyone considering conducting their own research and following the publication process. “You don’t have to submit a perfect manuscript to any journal,” said Krenn. “I think you have to,

For Larose, preparation for the upcoming pageant includes working out at least three times a week with MacKenzie as well as working out on her own time, sometimes with friends. Larose said, “Eating healthy and working out daily is important because as Miss Louisiana you are an advocate for healthy living, and I also want to make sure I look and feel my best during the pageant. Besides maintaining a healthy lifestyle, there has been a lot of shopping going on, which is fun but can be hard work too.” Larose cited her mother as her greatest support in this process. “We have experienced so much together since being crowned, and I’m so blessed to have her by my side throughout this journey,” said Larose. “I want to do well at Miss Louisiana to make my family, Southeastern and Hammond proud.” 2018 Miss Southeastern Alyssa Larose rehearses her dance for the talent portion According to Larose, she competed in of the upcoming Miss Louisiana Pageant.

more involved on campus and leave a legacy. Larose’s activities on campus include joining the Student Government Association, being an ambassador for the college of education and being a Division for Student Affairs leadership ambassador. “This led me to join more organizations and committees,” said Larose. “My leadership skills and campus involvement had met levels I would have never imagined, but I still wanted to do more.” Competing in scholarship pageants since she was four years old, Larose made connections in the pageant world that also influenced her decision to compete. “Through the years, I have met, and made friendships with, many women who have competed in the Miss Louisiana and Miss America Organizations,” said Larose. “These women and their dedication to the organizations and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals influenced me to compete for the title of Miss Southeastern.” Larose chose educating about and finding a cure for juvenile diabetes as her platform. Larose’s work towards this platform includes holding a fundraiser, “Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Giant Jamboree,” on April 23. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2017 “National Diabetes Statistics Report” states that about 30.3 million people in the United States had diabetes in 2015. The same report estimates that about five percent of those people had Type 1 diabetes, also known as

Southeastern student newspaper honored HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s student newspaper The Lion’s Roar has been recognized with a first-place award in the 2018 American Scholastic Press Association’s newspaper competition in New York. The newspaper earned 895 total points out of a possible 1,000 in the competition and was noted by judges as “an excellent school newspaper which shows the creativity and journalistic knowledge of your editors, reporters, writers, photographers, layout/graphics designers, advertising/sales managers and advisor.” “I am extremely proud of the dedication and effort our students put into each article published,” said Dr. Lee E. Lind, director of Student Publications. “On Southeastern’s campus the newspaper is the chronicle of our daily lives, an important channel for community discussion and information, and the learning laboratory for the development of superior journalistic skills. This

recognition from the ASPA is an indicator of the success Southeastern students have achieved in those areas.” The Lion’s Roar publishes between 28 and 32 print issues per year and is augmented by daily updates and online content at www.lionsroarnews. com. The ASPA annual contest is also a review of publication quality, and The Lion’s Roar received a perfect score in the category of page design. Editor-in-Chief Larshell Green, a senior communication major of Hammond, leads the staff of student reporters. “I am impressed and grateful for the honors that the staff and I have received for our work associated with The Lion’s Roar,” said Green. “With each assignment or task completed, I witnessed an expansion in the staff’s confidence and skills in creativity, journalism, photography, editing and communication. I couldn’t be more proud of the work that we have created together as a professional family. The

Whether or not Larose wins, she aims to make a lasting impact. “I hope that no matter how it goes in Monroe that week that I can come back and expand the Miss Southeastern Pageant to its fullest potential,” said Larose. “I want to get more sponsors and publicity for the pageant and even more opportunities for future title holders.” Larose compared her participation in the Miss Louisiana’s Outstanding Teen Pageant in 2013 to her next competition where she aims to be more prepared. “I did extremely well for my first time and won non-finalist talent,” said Larose. “However, I did not really know what to expect going into it. I just remember feeling so proud of how my interview with the judges went. It’s important to me to be very organized and not have to do any last minute things so I can go to Monroe without any worries.” Larose shared her ambition for competing in the Miss Louisiana Pageant. “I want to advocate for my platform and CMNH on a higher level,” said Larose. “I want to travel the state and make connections with people from all over. One of my goals would be to build a good relationship with the Louisiana legislators and Governor Edwards so I can be a voice for all Louisianians. Also, once crowned as Miss Louisiana, I would get the opportunity to compete at Miss America. That would be a total dream come true.”

Louisiana lawmakers shield their budget from chopping block BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — As they weigh steep cuts across state services, Louisiana lawmakers have fully funded their own budget so legislative agencies are poised to escape reductions in three weeks, even as those agencies are sitting on tens of millions of dollars in unspent funds. Lawmakers passed an $85 million spending plan for the House, Senate and other legislative agencies in the fiscal year starting July 1, similar to the budget approved last year, while education, social service and public safety programs are on the chopping block. And legislative agencies get an additional $10 million annual dedication of money for their operations from an earmark enacted in 2008. In addition, audits show that on top of the annual financing they’re slated to receive, the House, Senate and other legislative agencies have tens of millions in unspent fund balances — and even more cash in the bank beyond that. One legislative agency alone, according to a recent financial report, showed more than $42 million in the bank, with more than $40 million deemed an “unassigned fund balance” when the last budget year ended in June 2017. Gov. John Bel Edwards called it “the height of irresponsibility” for lawmakers to

cover their own paychecks and operations cuts are across the board,” he said. “If while leaving other agencies facing deep the overall problem gets solved, then reductions. the legislative budget gets solved.
