“I remember the first day he got on campus and I talked to the team about baserunning,” Mainieri said. “Rule number one is run with your eyes up.”

“He ran us right out of the inning with [Alex] Bregman coming up to bat. Those are experiences he’ll learn from, and I like to call them freshmen mistakes.”

Learning disorders present major challenges to students achieving their goals, whether academic or professional. But many students with learning disabilities don’t seek help.

Benjamin Cornwell, Disability Services director and assistant dean of students, said statistics from the federal government show 9 to 11 percent of college students have a disability, and at the University about 1500 students are registered with Disability Services.

Based on the student headcount from the Office of Budget and Planning and the federal averages, about 5 percent of University students are registered with Disability Services. This leaves a gap of approximately 1500 students who have a disability, but do not choose to register.

James Perry, marine biology freshman, is one of those students.

He said he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactive disorder when he was 7 or 8 years old and had accommodations when he attended high school, but he doesn’t currently seek help from Disability Services.

Perry said he feels he does not need the extra time on tests or a quiet room to take them in. He said his study skills and ability to handle school improved since high school.

“If I ever encounter a situation where I need extra time, I’d definitely do it,” Perry said.

In addition, Perry said he would rather deal with any potential issues on his own. He said he might be alienated from his friends if he got accommodations others did not.

Cornwell said the feeling of being different Perry described is the most common reason he’s heard from students for not registering with Disability Services.

Some students with disabilities automatically received help in K-12 education or were forced to by their parents, Cornwell said.

Cajuns top Tigers, offense disappears in five-inning, rain-shortened game STORY CHANDLER ROME Sports Writer

LSU will lose more baseball games. Paul Mainieri is sure of it.

So that’s why in the moments following a rain-shortened 4-1 loss against UL-Lafayette that ended the Tigers’ 34-game midweek game winning streak on Tuesday, Mainieri expressed his disappointment in the result but hardly cast the contest as indicative of arising problems.

“We have nothing to be ashamed of because ULL has a fine club, and we didn’t get to play the full nine innings,” Mainieri said.

“We’re not going to hit the panic button over one loss.”

But while panic remains a distant word, Mainieri was sure that tendencies needed to be corrected.

He lamented the seven fly ball outs his team produced through five innings and wished the Tigers (7-1) had more productive at-bats against UL-Lafayette righty Greg Milhorn.

And for perhaps the first time on a big stage, Mainieri saw the flip-side of having a group of supremely talented freshmen.

Trailing 2-0, LSU freshman second baseman Kramer Robertson was plunked in the shoulder, and he advanced to second on a wild pitch to bring Mark Laird to the plate with two out in the third inning.

Laird hit a sharp grounder to shortstop that ULL’s Blake Trahan snagged on a dive.

He had no chance to nab the speedy Laird at first, but Robertson missed the sign from LSU

FORT EUSTIS, Va. (AP) — Only a small fraction of Army women said they’d like to move into one of the newly opening combat jobs, but those few say they want a job that takes them right into the heart of battle, according to preliminary results from a survey of the service’s nearly 170,000 women.

That survey and others across the Army, publicly disclosed for the first time to The Associated Press, also revealed that soldiers of both genders are nervous about women entering combat jobs but say they are determined to do it fairly. Men are worried about losing their jobs to women; women are worried they will be seen as getting jobs because of their gender and not their qualifications.

Both are emphatic that the Army must not lower standards to accommodate women.

Less than 8 percent of Army women who responded to the survey said they wanted a combat job.

Of those, an overwhelming number said they’d like to be a Night Stalker — a member of the elite special operations helicopter crews who perhaps are best known for

flying the Navy SEALS into Osama bin Laden’s compound in 2011.

Last year top Pentagon officials signed an order saying women must have the same opportunities as men in combat jobs and the services have been devising updated physical standards, training, education and other programs for thousands of jobs they must open Jan. 1, 2016. The services must open as many jobs to women as possible; if they decide to keep some closed, they must explain why.

The Army said about 200,000 of its 1.1 million jobs are either direct combat or related jobs such

as field artillery, combat engineers and so on. That’s roughly 20 percent of the force, though the directcombat front-line fighters make up roughly half of that, or about 9 percent.

Throughout last year, the Army emailed questionnaires to active duty, reserves and Army National Guard members to gauge soldiers’ views on the move to bring women into combat jobs.

The results from the survey sent to women showed that just 2,238 — or 7.5 percent — of the 30,000 who responded said they would want one of the infantry, armor, artillery and combat engineer jobs.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS In the Feb. 19 article “Brain Strain: Stress can have physical effects on students,” The Daily Reveille incorrectly attributed statements to Kathy Saichuk, health promotion coordinator. In fact, Julie Hupperich, associate director of the Student Health Center, made those statements.

The article also stated 6.6 percent of students reported having migraines and 31.1 percent of those students reported stress being an impediment for them. Actually, the 31.1 percent of students who stated their stress was an academic impediment was not part of the 6.6 percent of students who reported having migraines. The information came from the National College Health Assessment data and is specific for the LSU campus population.

Lastly, neither Saichuk nor Hupperich stated that professionals are struggling to find the cause of headaches and all they can do is treat them, as the article stated.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Neighbors in New Orleans foiled what police say was an attempt to steal a chunk of a cinderblock wall bearing a painting by the elusive British graffiti artist Banksy.

Investigators say the building owner called Friday afternoon, saying someone was attempting to cut out the painting that was created after Hurricane Katrina.

Word of activity at the site appeared earlier Friday on Facebook. Pictures showed part of the wall had been removed above the image.

A neighbor says he asked a man working there for proof of a permit to remove the painting. By late afternoon, the man had left.

$10 million coins found LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Northern California couple out walking their dog on their property stumbled across a modern-day bonanza: $10 million in rare, mint-condition gold coins buried in the shadow of an old tree.

Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, are in uncirculated, mint condition, said David Hall, cofounder of Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently authenticated them.

Although the face value of the gold pieces only

adds up to about $27,000, some of them are so rare that coin experts say they could fetch nearly $1 million apiece.

“I don’t like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don’t get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever,” said veteran numismatist Don Kagin, who is representing the finders. “It’s like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”

They have no idea who put the coins there, Kagin said.

Since the fall semester of 2012, University architecture students have had the opportunity to get to know the Baton Rouge community through design.

The Mid City studio is a six-hour service-learning studio class for fourth and fifth year architecture students. It’s taught

by William Doran, LSU School of Architecture professional in residence, and Jason Lockhart, associate professor. This semester, students are designing for the old Entergy buildings on Government Street, recently donated to the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority.

While the projects will not be constructed because the students are not licensed architects, the redevelopment authority can use the students’ plans to fundraise or it can further build on the designs.

Community design and outreach has always been a part of an architect’s education, and this studio uses spaces in Baton Rouge for students to apply their skills to real-life situations.

The Mid City Redevelopment Alliance and the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority serve as liaisons for the studio class to identify what architecture projects need work. The students gain hands-on experience while

Architecture students will be redesigning this old Entergy building located on Government Street for the Mid City studio class. identifying what the community needs and wants from their new space.

This class serves as a stepping stone for students. It’s the first time their plans are not theoretical ideas in a classroom, but designs with the potential to affect community members.

“We’re out there in the streets with the students and making things happen. It’s not theoretical right now,” Doran said.

Students talk to community members and work with them to find out their priorities— and sometimes run into road bumps along the way.

Doran said there is a need for

hands-on learning, even for small scale projects.

Andrew Pharis, a fifth year architecture student, took the studio class the first semester it was offered and described the class as an architecture firm as opposed to a classroom. In the beginning of the class, students worked to design the same project, splitting up into groups of three to work on specific parts of the project.

Pharis said group work often takes place in the real world of architecture, but it’s not seen as often in schools, and real clients are rarely seen in classes.

Pharis said the assignment stretches beyond the grading rubric when students try to respect

and understand the history of the area they are designing for.

“The client is fiction and all of a sudden the client was real,” Pharis said. “You really understand the people or place you are designing for.”

‘Meeting of the Minds’ encourages STEM education Panya Kroun Contributing Writer

A crowd of scientists, educators and scholars flooded into Choppin Hall on Tuesday night to witness the “Meeting of the Minds,” a discussion panel billed as a conversation between educated African-American men at the University.

The panel was hosted by the University chapter of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers, or NOBCChE. Two prominent African-American scholars led the discussion: Isiah Warner, vice chancellor of Strategic Initiatives, and Herman Kelly, professor of African American studies and a pastor at Bethel AME Church.

The University’s chapter of NOBCChE, led by President Pamela Brady, worked in conjunction with Warner and Kelly to organize the event in an effort to reach out to minority scholars at the University and in the greater Baton Rouge area. Brady said the panel gave many students a chance to listen to some of the technical and philosophical ideas the most prominent

figures within the University community had to offer.

“There are more female Ph.D. students in the chemistry department than there are males. And there are even fewer black male students,” Brady said.

The panel leaders held a cerebral and practical discourse at the event and engaged their audience with a structured discussion followed by an open question and answer session. Topics discussed included professional accomplishments, research and development and the state of black male leadership within and outside of the University. NOBCChE treasurer Ashley Taylor said both male and female attendants benefited from their mentors’ wisdom.

“There aren’t a lot of women or black men in STEM and a lot of people don’t know what to aspire to if they don’t have any role models who resemble them, so this was a great opportunity to show them that they’re out there,” Taylor said.

Warner and Kelly, two seasoned scholars, spent much of the discussion talking about their roots in small towns and told their audience personal and professional stories they hoped would inspire them

to action.

Though many in attendance were graduate students who work under Warner’s tutelage, Brady and Turner joined with the Baton Rouge Youth Coalition to bring undergraduates and local high school students to the panel as well.

As a Boyd professor, Turner is one of the most published and tenured chemists at the University.

The focus of his talk, however, was not on chemistry itself. Instead, he extolled the virtues of the scientific disciplines by recounting his own difficult but profitable path to the top of his field.

Kelly, a reverend and an adjunct professor of African American Studies, brought his own brand of wisdom to the table and gave his audience advice on how to become engaged with and succeed in a professional field.

“They both had unique perspectives, and people definitely got a lot out of it,” Taylor said.

Warner and Kelly also discussed the female dynamic of the STEM professions and told the young men in attendance learning to work alongside professionals was essential to personal growth, especially at the University, where,

according to Brady, most of the candidates for chemistry Ph.D.s are female.

While the panelists discussed several controversial topics, the meeting was professional and cordial, and it ended with a networking session during which high school students had the chance to

talk to University chemists.

“This is really important, and I think this one talk today inspired a lot of men,” Taylor said.

Hill Memorial Library hosts photography lecture Whitney Lynn Contributing Writer

The Hill Memorial Library hosted Massachusetts Institute of Technology Museum Curator of Architecture and Design Gary Van Zante on Tuesday evening to discuss photography techniques of the mid-19th century, including insight into a 19th century book about New Orleans architecture.

Zante focused his lecture on early photography techniques and his research into “Jewell’s Crescent City Illustrated.” According to Zante, “Jewell’s Crescent City Illustrated” is a compilation of 150 illustrations and photographic proofs of primarily New Orleans buildings created

by Theodore Lilienthal. It also features wood engravings by William Orr. Zante is working on his own book about the history of “Jewell’s Crescent City Illustrated.”

Zante’s book will become a part of the Hill series and will be published by the LSU Press, said Jessica Lacher-Feldman, head of Special Collections at Hill Memorial.

Published in 1873, the “Jewell’s Crescent City Illustrated” is a collection of wood engravings used to showcase New Orleans in the late 1800s. The library not only has copies of “Jewell’s Crescent City Illustrated,” they also

Man unaffiliated with University arrested on felony theft charges

On Feb. 19 at 2:58 p.m., LSU Police Department officers were dispatched to the Barnes & Noble on campus in regards to a suspected theft, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

Personnel at the store suspected Brandee Lyn Fussell, 36, of 4553 Jefferson St., of stealing numerous items from the store over the past few weeks, Lalonde said.

Upon questioning, Fussell admitted to stealing from the store.

Because of the timeframe of the crime and the large number of suspected items stolen, the investigation is still ongoing, Lalonde said.

Fussell was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish prison for felony theft.

On Feb. 24, LSUPD officers arrested Trevonlorenz Ezekiel Chambers, 20, of 3577 Mission Drive, on four counts of felony theft, Lalonde said.

LSUPD investigators were contacted several weeks ago by employees of the University Laboratory School in regards to three separate incidents in which items were stolen from the school’s basketball locker room.

LSUPD investigators observed Chambers, a custodial staff member at the Lab school, entering the locker room to clean at his assigned time, Lalonde said. Chambers was later identified through surveillance footage at the scene of another crime at the Band Hall, after employees contacted LSUPD on Feb. 21 about stolen items.

LSUPD investigators questioned Chambers, who admitted to stealing more than $1,000 worth of valuables from the locker room and Band Hall at the suspected times, Lalonde said.

Chambers was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish prison on four counts of felony theft.

boast about having the prospectus of the book, which is a copy that shows how the book was put together, Lacher-Feldman said.

“It is an outstanding example of the commercial booster book that became an important document of city building in 19th century America,” Lacher-Feldman said.

Zante provided a brief history of Edwin L. Jewell, the book’s original creator. He intertwined advancements made in photography throughout his lecture on the

illustrations of New Orleans.

Art history junior Endya Hash said that Zante put into perspective how images of the past were taken, especially in terms of engraving versus photography.

On Feb. 18 at 9:45 p.m., a woman called LSUPD officers to Herget Hall after claiming her boyfriend abused her, Lalonde said.

The victim said the man, a minor, grabbed her and threw her against a wall. She also claimed that the suspect choked her previously during the week, Lalonde said.

LSUPD investigators spoke with a witness who corroborated the victim’s statement, Lalonde said.

LSUPD investigators placed the suspect under arrest and booked him into East Baton Rouge Parish prison for one count of domestic abuse/battery.

Tigers look to avenge earlier loss

Softball led by motto, Marine training in offseason

Falcon said she is better prepared for those situations under the new attitude of the team.

“That was a very pressure situation. The most pressure I’ve had on me as a collegiate athlete ever,” Falcon said. “I think that ‘Locked In’ really ties into having that pressure all the time.

Taking every pitch seriously, taking no out off.”

The motto took on a whole new meaning during fall

Two weeks ago, the Texas A&M basketball team upset the Tigers, 83-73, in a game LSU junior forward Johnny O’Bryant III has yet to forget. “[We] definitely want to get revenge,” O’Bryant said.

The loss in College Station, Texas, was one of the worst the Tigers suffered all season, considering Texas A&M is the fourth worst team in the Southeastern Conference at No. 118 in ratings percentage index.

O’Bryant didn’t hold back when discussing his feeling on the Tigers’ first meeting with Texas A&M. “I think that was a game we definitely shouldn’t have lost, and we have a point to prove when they come here,” O’Bryant said. “We shouldn’t have lost that game. I think we’re a better team.”

LSU (16-10, 7-7 Southeastern Conference) enters today’s contest at No. 72 in RPI and fresh off a disappointing overtime loss at No. 17 Kentucky on Saturday.

The last time the Aggies (1611, 7-7 SEC) and the Tigers faced off, it was the fourth consecutive loss on the road for LSU. That streak has since climbed to six straight.

The LSU softball team has adopted “Locked In” as its motto for the 2014 season, incorporating military training and motivational materials into its routine.

Tommy Romanach Sports Contributor

Walking down the stairs of the LSU softball complex, there is a bar that cannot be avoided before exiting. The bar rests above the door to the field, marking the last thing the Tigers see before playing.

The bar contains two words that have become the mantra of the team. They are not only symbolic of the team’s past struggles, but of the lessons learned in an

offseason unlike any other.

“Locked In.” “We are all just locked in on a plan,” said junior outfielder A.J. Andrews. “We are focused on what we are going to do and what we are going to be and how we are going to get there.”

The two-word motto has become a central part of the team and can be seen almost everywhere. “Locked In” T-shirts are given out during games, and the words are found in every

game program.

The motto came from a time of struggle, after the team’s 1-0 loss to UL-Lafayette that ended the Tigers’ 2013 season in their home stadium. Suddenly, a season containing more than 40 wins and an All-American selection for pitcher Rachele Fico had gone down the drain.

The last out of the game was perhaps most fatal, with senior infielder Allison Falcon striking out with the bases loaded and a chance to extend the season.

The good, the bad and the ugly of the NFL combine THE SMARTEST MORAN James Moran Sports Columnist The annual NFL scouting combine is a time for prospects to make moves on NFL draft boards — some to the penthouse, others to the outhouse.

Eleven LSU players were invited to Indianapolis. Here are the highlights and lowlights of the former Tigers’ workouts.

The Good: Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham went to the combine as a borderline first-round prospect looking to solidify himself as one of the first 32 players selected — and it

appears he has.

With impressive times in the 40-yard dash (4.43 seconds), three cone drill (6.69 seconds), 20-yard shuffle (3.94 seconds) and 60-yard shuffle (10.93 seconds), Beckham showcased the explosiveness he was known for during his junior season at LSU. The combination of his elite workout, solid statistics and explosiveness as a return man make Beckham the kind of all-around offensive weapon NFL teams love to take in the first round. Assuming he avoided hurting himself in the interviews — which is unlikely since he’s personable and intelligent — this week was a home run for Beckham.

In a deep and talented class of wide receivers, Beckham has

elevated himself and could now be pushing Texas A&M’s Mike Evans to be the second receiver taken behind Clemson’s Sammy Watkins.

The Bad: Jarvis Landry While Beckham rose up draft boards this week, his partner in crime sunk like a rock.

At 4.77 seconds, Landry ran the slowest 40-yard dash of any wide receiver. To make matters worse, Landry posted the secondworst broad jump and vertical jump among receivers before sitting out the rest of the workouts with a pulled hamstring, according to a tweet from Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. Landry’s sure hands and combine, see page 7

Morrison claims third SEC award David Gray Sports Contributor

LSU gymnastics senior Sarie Morrison should make room on her shelf, because the awards keep coming in.

Morrison was named Southeastern Conference Event Specialist of the Week for her Friday performances against defending national champion Florida, the league announced Tuesday. It marks the third time this season Morrison has received the SEC’s weekly honor.

Against the Gators, the Dallas native scored a 9.950 on the uneven bars to earn a share of the title, the fifth consecutive meet in which she has tied or won the event. It was

her sixth bars crown of the season and the 26th of her career, an LSU record.

Morrison also scored a 9.900 on vault Friday, the seventh time she’s scored at least a 9.900 this season.

Overall, Morrison has scored at least a 9.900 in both events she competes in at five different meets this season.

Her consistency this season has her ranked No. 1 nationally in the uneven bars with a regional qualifying score of 9.935. On vault, Morrison ranks No. 6 nationally with an RQS score of 9.920. Her efforts have helped the Tigers reach No. 1 in this season’s first RQS rankings.

Morrison has claimed the SEC’s weekly honor two other times this season. The first came after her

performance against Centenary College in LSU’s season opener. She then claimed the award after her performances from a two-meet weekend against Arkansas and Oklahoma, where the senior won three of the four events she competed in.

Morrison and the No. 1 Tigers (7-3, 3-2 SEC) will look to continue their high-scoring ways when they take on SEC foe Missouri at 7 p.m.

Friday in the PMAC. It’s the first of three consecutive home meets for LSU after spending the past four on the road.

willingness to go over the middle of a defense make him more of a finished product than Beckham, but he doesn’t have the same athletic upside.

He entered the combine looking like a solid second- or thirdround selection, but his unimpressive workout will lead to questions about his explosiveness.

A slow 40-time isn’t a death sentence — Jerry Rice and Anquan Boldin ran similar times — but teams will view him as a possession receiver, which tends to be treated as a late-round commodity on draft day.

If Landry does fall to the third day of the draft, the team that drafts him will be getting a steal. But he definitely cost himself some money with his performance in Indianapolis.

The Ugly: Anthony Johnson More than any of the 11 Tigers invited to the combine, Johnson needed a stellar workout to make teams overlook his pedestrian statistics.

He didn’t have one.

Johnson ran an uninspiring 5.24-second 40-yard dash and finished near the bottom among defensive linemen in the broad jump and vertical jump. Despite his imposing size, he posted an un-freakish 20 reps on the bench press, a total eclipsed by teammates Ego Ferguson (24 reps) and Lamin Barrow (22 reps).

workouts, when U.S. Marines took over LSU practices. The Marines pushed the Tigers not only physically through an intense workout schedule, but also mentally with a new state of mind.

The Marines mindset coincided perfectly with the Tigers’ new message: the idea that a mission requires not only a singular effort, but different members of the team performing their own specific and respective jobs to be executed properly.

The team also utilizes a “flight school kill board,” which depicts logos of each team the Tigers have on their schedule.

When LSU beats a team, it gets to put the logo on the other side of the board, similar to how a plane would carry the flags it has taken down.

Freshman pitcher Baylee Corbello sees the board as a reminder to stay on the target at hand and not to let anything else get in the way.

During each Marines drill, one player from a group was selected as a leader, meaning they’d wear a weighted vest and would only be able to cheer on their teams as they went through drills. One of the players chosen to be a leader was sophomore utility player Dylan Supak, and it was an experience she won’t soon forget.

“It was cool to see how even though there were leaders designated each time, that’s not

page 7 always who the leader was,” Supak said. “It just showed leadership wasn’t just one person directing a group. It happens all the time. It comes from just little encouraging words.”

In a Feb. 15 game against George Washington, Andrews and senior outfielder Jacee Blades demonstrated LSU’s speed, leading the game off with hits and two stolen bases each. Two days later, sophomores Bianka Bell and Kellsi Kloss demonstrated the Tigers’ power, hitting back-to-back home runs in the third inning.

Those moments are examples of how each player brings her own talent. Supak said the “Locked In” mantra has taught them how special these talents can be combined.

“You have all the different pieces of the puzzle, you just have to put them together,” Supak said. “There are so many great parts to this team, but staying locked in and bringing them together, that’s going to be the fun part.”

In response to Gerald Ducote’s column, “Neutral Milk Hotel sees late popularity,” one reader had this to say: “I saw Neutral Milk Hotel with Olivia Tremor Control in 1997 when I was at the University of Virginia, before “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” came out. They and the other Elephant 6 bands were popular on college radio at that time, so it wasn’t like people didn’t know about them — they just didn’t enjoy the cult status which they have today. It’s nice to have them back anyway and was great to see them in New Orleans last week!”

Radioactive

Fukushima nuclear disaster now an American problem 600 WORDS OF SOMMER Annette Sommers Columnist In a few months, the devastating effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster will officially taint America’s reputation.

Radiation traces have been found in the Japanese food chain, according to the Centre for Research on Globalization, and by April radiation will be freely flowing onto the shores of California beaches.

Maybe the only result is that fishermen will lose jobs and the demand for chicken will rise. It’s all microeconomics, really. But the funny thing about microeconomics is that a change in one thing affects something else, which will affect something else, and so forth.

This circular pattern has the power to change more than just the supply and demand of fish and will inevitably alter the entire market.

Of course, all this information is just now circulating through the media because it’s finally a time-sensitive threat. Our government can’t ignore it anymore.

Since 2011, they have turned a blind eye to the situation, as if hiding under a blanket of stupidity will make the nuclear monster go away. I hate to break it to everyone, but this unwanted monster is here to stay.

The public should be demanding answers from Japan and the U.S. government so we can halt the obliviousness before it ruins lives.

Because we are so far away from the tsunami that wrecked the nuclear power plant and forced so many into homelessness and poverty, it’s hard to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Our physical distance makes Fukushima seem like an irrelevant fable and the failure of good media reporting has created a mental distance to add to the unjustified ignorance.

To think that the ongoing state of crisis in Japan does not affect us here in America, and even Louisiana, is an accurate example of American negligence.

Only now, as the threat of radiation poisoning and radioactive rain swells, has our media begun to report on the effect Fukushima will have on our country.

courtesy of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This photo released Thursday by Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) shows radioactive water leaked from a tank at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture.

To make matters worse, our government has shielded us just as much as the Japanese government does. That says a lot considering we are supposed to have a government that keeps us in the loop on potentially life-threatening matters.

We rely on journalists to distribute unbiased information, but other than the few sources that have shown some concern for the Fukushima plant, media outlets have failed us.

Now, it may be too late.

If such drastic results have already affected our coast, it won’t be much longer before the dangers spread closer to home. I don’t want to be left blindly waiting for a possible slow death by radiation. At least let me know about it first.

And while we don’t necessarily dive into the water as often as Californians, the chemicals and radiation are sure to take a toll on our fishing and offshore work when it spreads. Not to mention the radioactive rain that has plagued Japan and already circulated to the coast.

since Fukushima, according to the Japan Times. Their government has kept citizens in almost complete darkness and is now forced to face the results of a disaster that will haunt generations.

They can’t neglect the truth because they fear a panic outbreak. There should be a sense of panic among the people. I’m panicking because there isn’t a panic.

So now the news-sponsored countdown to our own radiation disaster begins, although it has been in action for the past three years. Come April, the government better have a plan on how to handle what will undoubtedly change the state of American health.

Individuals with disabilities deserve to be hired BLUE COLLAR SCHOLAR Justin Stafford Columnist People with disabilities have the potential to attend college and hold full-time jobs, but in a world that is taxing to even the most studious and motivated individuals, people with a disability need more help attaining the American dream.

Last month, State Rep. Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, introduced a bill to stop using terms like “handicapped” and “disabled person” and instead people should use “person with a disability” in state statutes. The Louisiana Legislature will take up his proposal in March.

People with disorders like autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or Down syndrome are not disabled.

They simply have a disability.

These cognitive disabilities need more accommodation in our country’s schools and post-secondary institutions because education is essential in leading people with a disability to meaningful careers, as well as encouraging self-value.

There are an estimated 250,000 to 400,000 people in America with Down syndrome, according to the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation.

As of 2013, one in every 88 children born in the U.S. has a form of ASD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

LSU Disability Services offers accommodations on a case-by-case basis to help students with disabilities, providing things like extended time on exams, exams in a quiet, distraction-reduced environment or

frequent breaks.

Education is closely related to employment opportunities. High unemployment levels for those with a disability are accepted too easily.

Surely, it’s difficult for someone with ASD or Down syndrome to obtain a job. The rates usually shown only include the number of unemployed people actively seeking employment. Sadly, these statistics don’t account for people with disabilities who are not seeking a job because of low expectations about their employability.

“Currently, only 18 percent of adults ages 18 to 60 who have Down syndrome are in paid employment positions,” according to the Down Syndrome Footprint Foundation.

This organization is committed to creating greater awareness and employment opportunities for those with the disability.

Employers who cannot see beyond a disability discourage people with Down syndrome and other disabilities. This practice does nothing to help change employment statistics or the future. Clearly, there is an issue with underemployment for those with ASD, Down syndrome and other disabilities. The problem runs much deeper than reluctant employers.

These issues were discussed at an Autism Speaks ThinkTank meeting last year. The events’ attendees, all stakeholders including business owners, addressed the

role of those with a disability in the workforce and created probable solutions to identified problems.

People with autism struggle with “soft skills” like small talk around the office, but excel at clear and concise “hard skills.”

Individuals with Down syndrome don’t drive, and the lack of convenient public transportation makes commuting difficult. In areas that aren’t near public transportation, job opportunities become limited to those with a disability. There is also a need for employers to understand and accommodate medical issues.

One accommodation suggested

by Autism Speaks that can help an employee with a seizure disorder or light sensitivity is to replace

fluorescent tube lighting with fullspectrum light or compact fluorescent light bulbs in the workplace or allow the employee to wear sunglasses or caps at work.

This issue is gaining more national attention than before, specifically regarding Obama’s executive order to raise minimum wage. However, we can all play a part in welcoming those with a disability into the classroom and workforce.

“Under current law, workers whose productivity is affected because of their disabilities may be paid less than the wage paid to others doing the same job under certain specialized certificate programs,” according to a White House memo explaining the recent order. “Under this Executive Order, all individuals working under service or concessions contracts with the federal government will be covered by the same $10.10 per hour minimum wage protections.”

The idea of going to college to get a great career is commonplace because employment is important in building productive and full lives. Therefore, individuals with a disability deserve opportunities to obtain a job and contribute to the world.

Political beliefs should not influence personal choice OUR LADY OF ANGST SidneyRose Reynen Columnist Can you tell someone’s political affiliation by whether they prefer Kelly Clarkson or Rihanna? Apparently so. Does this mean anything? Not at all.

Recently, popular musicstreaming website Pandora announced it could predict listeners’ political party preference based solely on their listening habits.

If you listen to George Strait or Reba McEntire, you’re probably a Republican. On the other hand, if you get your groove on to Snoop Dogg or Lady GaGa, you’re most likely a Democrat.

However, if you prefer The Beatles or Johnny Cash, Pandora has no idea.

What, if any, is the point of these algorithms? How do they work?

Tim McGraw, another musician loved by Republicans, is actually a Clinton and Obamasupporting Democrat. Eminem, who is favored by Democrats, has been noted for his violently homophobic lyrics – an idea often promoted by conservatives.

On Feb. 18, TIME published an article titled “It’s True: Liberals Like Cats More Than Conservatives Do.” The story also said conservatives are “dog people.”

I am allergic to most cats. Is this natural selection telling me I should have been a Romney supporter? I have had many dogs in my lifetime, but I’m a pro-choice, anti-war, anti-gun feminist. I audibly scoff at vehicles adorned with “Preaux Life” stickers, and I’ve fully prepped myself for the Hillary 2016 campaign.

I am clearly an outlier in this system, but I am probably not the only one.

These little evaluations have gone so far as to analyze alcoholic beverage preferences to

predict voter turnout and party affiliation.

Republicans with high turnout drink Kendall-Jackson and Robert Mondavi wines, according to a new media survey by National Media, a firm that tracks demographic and consumer data.

Lower turnout Republicans are fans of Crown Royal and Johnnie Walker Black. High turnout Democrats love Tanqueray and Smoking Loon, while Democrats with lower turnout imbibe themselves with flavored Grey Goose and Smirnoff Twist.

Maybe now bartenders can turn you down because your preference for Kahlua goes against their own political beliefs.

These systems of prediction are useless and serve no basis other than to further stereotype, classify and label human beings.

Like those Hot Topic pins used to read, “Labels are for soup cans.”

We are people. We do not need some Internet radio website to tell us that listening to

Pink Floyd means that we should probably support the Republican Party.

Political affiliation shouldn’t and, arguably, doesn’t really change your day-to-day activities.

You’re still going to be angry when the car in front of you doesn’t use their blinkers whether or not you thought Mitt Romney should have been elected.

If you’re a Republican, you might flip on The O’Reilly Factor, rather than The Rachel Maddow Show, but that’s really where it should end.

Letting your political beliefs get in the way of your personal choices is ludicrous. Your support of state’s rights and low taxes has nothing to do with your favorite color any more than your blood type does.

Are these studies simply for politicians’ benefit? Knowing whether or not their target audience is a “cat person” or “dog person” could be valuable

information regarding sponsorships or advertising methods.

Coming soon: dog treats in the shape of Bobby Jindal and kitty litter approved by Mary Landrieu.

Humans are more than just data to be analyzed. We have complex interests, personalities and experiences. There is more to our personal choices than some sort of unconscious desire to drink the most liberal or conservative-seeming beverage.

Life is not one giant Buzzfeed quiz that asks you what your favorite Beyoncé song is to somehow tell you which Mad Men character you are.

walk in the fourth to escape unscathed until the fifth.

LSU sophomore center fielder and Lafayette native Andrew Stevenson provided perhaps the only spark of the evening to lead off the fifth, drilling a triple down the first base line into the corner.

Junior catcher Tyler Moore brought Stevenson home on a sacrifice fly one at-bat later to get the Tigers on the scoreboard.

But by then, the Cajuns had built their lead through playing scrappy offense and keeping momentum from shifting to the Tiger dugout.

“This is such a huge momentum team here,” UL-Lafayette coach Tony Robichaux said. “We played well for the length of the time we had to play.”

Mainieri called LSU starter Cody Glenn’s outing “average.”

The junior southpaw left after just four innings facing the aggressive Ragin Cajun offense where he surrendered five hits and three runs.

“That’s just the kind of pitcher he is,” Mainieri said. “He’s not overpowering, he’s got to be perfect, nibble a lot and sometimes he’s going to leave them out of the zone.”

After stranding a runner in scoring position in both of the first two innings, UL-Lafayette was able to push two runs across in the third as Glenn led off the inning with a five-pitch walk to nine-hole hitter Greg Davis.

The southpaw got leadoff man Caleb Adams looking, but then allowed a Seth Harrison full-count triple to the deepest part of the ballpark to chase

Davis home.

Cajun shortstop Trahan sent a sacrifice fly to right field to score Harrison and push the Cajun lead to 2-0.

After Strentz led off the fourth with a single, Jace Conrad followed two batters later with a hot shot that Tiger senior third baseman Christian Ibarra couldn’t handle on a hop, sending Harrison home and giving the Cajuns a 3-0 lead.

“It’s a shame that two good teams couldn’t play nine

The Daily Reveille innings,” Robichaux said. “In this business, you have to play nine and not five. It is what it is, but we’re only going to focus on we played well through five innings.”

page 11 DISABILITY, from page 1 He said the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act makes sure students in K-12 education get the help they need. IDEA does not apply to post-secondary education, meaning students have to take it upon themselves to provide the proper paperwork and register, he said.

To the approximately 1500 unregistered students with disabilities, Cornwell said he encourages them to register. He said students

will not be identified as having a disability in class, and Disability Services does not share their information except when there is a legitimate need to know.

“It’s not going to be like K-12, where the teacher made you feel different in front of your classmates,” Cornwell said.
