Legislative roundup: TOPS reforms fail Quint Forgey Staff Writer

any Louie’s Cafe patrons have never seen the oldschool diner in daylight, but that doesn’t make it any less memorable. After all, it would be difficult to forget a place where the smell — grease and more grease — follows visitors long after leaving.

“You’ll remember it even if you’re drunk,” said Louie’s fry cook Jeremy Lewis.

Everything about the 24-hour cafe seems to be outdated and

TOPS reforms fail, are deferred Efforts to amend the state’s TOPS program remain on the bottom of the Louisiana legislature’s to-do list, as HB 385 by Rep. Joe Harrison was killed in the House Education Committee on Wednesday.

Harrison’s legislation would have increased the ACT score required to obtain a TOPS scholarship and put a cap on the maximum amount that students could be awarded. Harrison’s bill also mandated that students pay back the scholarship money if they did not meet certain academic requirements.

Following the failure of Harrison’s proposal, several lawmakers with similar TOPS legislation voluntarily deferred their bills, according to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.

Domestic violence bills pass The House Criminal Justice Committee unanimously passed three bills Wednesday aimed to protect domestic violence victims in Louisiana.

Among the legislation passed, HB 753 by Rep. Helena Moreno would outlaw the possession of firearms by those convicted of domestic abuse for 10 years after their conviction.

covered in grease spots, Lewis said, which takes gumption in today’s day and age. It is perhaps that rusticity and the guarantee of an old-fashioned diner meal that draws University students there in the middle of the night.

Countless hangovers and other college-induced maladies have been soothed atop a red stool at the counter of Louie’s, all while making small talk with a cook who is frying up an oversized omelet or a stack of chocolate

Surrogacy bill passes after revisions A bill regarding surrogacy births in the state passed the House Committee on Civil Law and Procedure on Tuesday morning, after being considerably amended to appease Christian and family-values lobbying groups.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Joseph Lopinto, would allow state-protected surrogacy contracts to be made exclusively by married couples of opposite sexes.

LA HABRA, Calif. (AP) — Experts say a bigger earthquake along the lesser-known fault that gave Southern California a moderate shake could do more damage to the region than the long-dreaded “Big One” from the more famous San Andreas Fault.

The Puente Hills thrust fault, which brought Friday night’s magnitude-5.1 quake centered in La Habra and more than 100 aftershocks by Sunday, stretches from northern Orange County under downtown Los Angeles into Hollywood — a heavily populated swath of the Los Angeles area.

A magnitude-7.5 earthquake along that fault could prove more catastrophic than one along the San Andreas, which runs along the outskirts of metropolitan Southern California, seismologists said.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that such a quake along the Puente Hills fault could kill 3,000 to 18,000 people and cause up to $250 billion in damage. In contrast, a larger magnitude 8 quake along the San Andreas would cause an estimated 1,800 deaths.

KEN STEINHARDT / The Associated Press

A woman walks her dog Saturday past a broken block wall in Fullerton, Calif., after an earthquake hit Orange County on Friday.

Part of the problem with the potential damage is that the fault runs near so many vulnerable older buildings, many made of concrete, in downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. And because the fault, discovered in 1999, is horizontal, heavy reverberations are likely to be felt over a wide area.

About 150 aftershocks, including one of magnitude-4.1, were felt

after Friday night’s quake, which forced several dozen people in the Orange County city of Fullerton out of their homes after firefighters discovered foundation problems that made the buildings unsafe to enter, authorities said.

Another 14 residential structures around the city suffered lesser damage, including collapsed fireplaces.

LAFAYETTE (AP) — To judge from a glance at the headlines, 2014 isn’t the best of times for the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana.

The state government’s CODOFIL budget has dwindled over the years, down to about a quarter-million dollars.

Louisiana, where public business was often conducted in French two generations ago, now has only about 150,000 French speakers.

And a legislative attempt to let parents petition to create language immersion programs, long an important part of the CODOFIL agenda, got a push-back from school boards.

“We’re trying to articulate school to work and leverage the current attention to all things Louisiana. This is our time.”

Brazilian police push into Rio slums The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — More than 1,400 police officers and Brazilian Marines rolled into a massive complex of slums near Rio de Janeiro’s international airport before dawn Sunday in the latest security push ahead of this year’s World Cup. Not a shot was fired as the Mare complex of 15 slums became the latest impoverished area to see security forces move in to take control and try to push out heavily armed drug gangs that have ruled Rio’s shantytowns for decades.

In the coming days, Army soldiers will begin patrolling the virtually treeless, flat area of about 2 square miles (5 square kilometers) in northern Rio that hugs the main road to the airport and is home to about 130,000 people.

Security forces will eventually set up permanent posts in Mare as part of the “pacification” program that began in 2008 and is meant to secure Rio ahead of the World Cup and also the 2016 Summer Olympics. Police have installed 37 such posts in recent years in an area covering 1.5 million people.

Asian American Ambassadors showcase culture Michael Tarver Contributing Writer

The Asian American Cultural Heritage Showcase on Friday not only revealed contemporary arts within Asian culture, but it also helped represent a student population on campus that is passionate about being recognized.

Asian American Ambassadors at LSU (AAA), supported by the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA), attempted to represent Asian-American students on campus by hosting their first-ever Asian-American heritage showcase in the Student Union Cotillion Room.

Krystie Nguyen, coordinator of Cross-Cultural Affairs in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said being an Asian-American person means sometimes having to adopt aspects of other cultures when celebrating. While the showcase tried to represent all Asian cultures, the event focused on specific countries, she said.

Some of the cultures exemplified in the showcase included

Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Malaysian and Indonesian, Krystie Nguyen said. Though the entire event was planned and run by students, OMA tried to be a hub for student involvement, support and multicultural incorporation, she said.

“It is a cultural event, but the students are the ones putting on the event and trying to showcase their culture,” Krystie Nguyen said. “They are the face of the organization and the face of OMA.” Catherine Nguyen, mass communication sophomore and public relations advocate for AAA, was a performer and one of the masters of ceremonies for the showcase. She said the small size and newborn nature of AAA will not stop the organization from growing and expanding.

“Even though we are new, it doesn’t mean we can’t do big events,” Catherine Nguyen said.

“It takes a team effort, and we always work as a team.”

One of the performances involved an interpretive dance and modern hip-hop music from

Korea and Japan. The dance told a story that illustrated the ups and downs of a romantic relationship while incorporating contemporary Asian culture, Catherine Nguyen said.

Krystie Nguyen said the funding for AAA events comes from dues of each member of the organization as well as aid from Student Government, though most of the funds come from OMA. AAA President Isabelle Vea said she was pleased with the almost 130-person turnout Friday, considering Groovin’ on the Grounds was held around the same time as the showcase, and the organization only had a month and a half to plan the event.

Vea said the audience was captivated by the final performance by a group from New Orleans called Van Hanh that dressed up in elaborate lion costumes, making for an interactive show.

LSU’s LoL club hosts tournament Rene Wren Contributing Writer

The University’s League of LSU, a student-run club for the computer game “League of Legends,” (LoL) hosted an online tournament March 28 and 30, following a recent breakthrough in the online gaming industry.

LoL is an online multiplayer video game that pits players against one another on a virtual battlefield, and it saw the gaming landscape change when the U.S. government recognized superior electronic sports players as athletes during the summer of 2013.

Nathan Beard, business management senior and founder and president of League of LSU, said his primary concerns are to help bring eSports to the University, to improve the University’s electronics and to help raise awareness of the game.

The group’s chairmen also plan help to improve players’ skills and provide a place where students can relax, enjoy the game and bond with other students.

“It’s the most popular video game in the world, with more than 35 million gamers on it,” Beard said.

“It’s carrying eSports and making it what it is today.”

Beard said there were no eSports student organizations at LSU when he arrived, and he knew the

potential support he could have for starting one. Beard founded the group in fall 2012, but it did not take off until spring 2013.

With more than 250 active members, League of LSU is now recognized by Riot Games, the creators of LoL, as one of the many collegiate groups in the country that can compete in collegiate LoL tournaments.

Last year, the third floor Capital Chamber Room in the Student Union only had Wi-Fi, a connection Beard said is not good enough for online video gameplay.

The University’s Information Technology Service department has installed one multi-access networking port and donated two port switches that allow students in the room to play the game through a multi-access network. Beard said the League of LSU plans to have individual ports installed on every chair in the Capital Chamber room for the upcoming fall semester.

The group will also host a screening of the LoL world tournament in the Student Union Ballroom this fall. Riot Games has recognized the ballroom as a national viewing spot to host the world tournament because of the room’s capacity to hold more than 1,000 seats, Beard said.

“People from all over the globe will be allowed to view the tournament in the Student Union,” he said.

PHOTO STORY

The government’s recognition of eSports players as athletes means players from across the globe are now able to come to the U.S. to compete in online LoL games, much like how athletes from overseas obtain visas to compete here.

In an interview with Gamestop, Riot Games’ eSports manager Nick Allen said the government’s decision did not happen overnight.

“Eventually, it got to the point where they were like, ‘We have no reason to say no. … Okay, this is legitimate.’” Forbes said.

Riot Games awarded a total of $5 million to players in 105 LoL tournaments around the world last year. Riot also sponsored an online LoL tournament hosted by League of LSU last weekend.

Beard encourages students who do not know how to play LoL to try the game and to attend upcoming League of LSU events.

“When you first jump into the game, take it slow. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Play Bot games [with computer controlled opponents] and bring friends to play with you. There will be toxic players at times, and you just have to ignore them and just have fun.”

Sports Writer

Lawrence Barreca · Sports Writer Following Florida’s three-game sweep of LSU in Gainesville, Fla., over the weekend, a number of issues came to light for the Tigers.

One that has plagued LSU for weeks now has been the squad’s hitting slump since Southeastern Conference play began. The Tigers ran into a buzz when the team travelled to Vanderbilt on March 14. Since then, the offense has failed to provide any sort of spark for the struggling program.

LSU hitters as a whole have slumped at the plate, resulting in two conference series losses and a defeat against unranked Tulane.

Gators sweep stumbling Tigers

Nicholls Southern Vanderbilt Georgia Florida

As a slumping LSU offense seemed to take a step forward Sunday, the usually reliable Tiger bullpen took a glaring step back.

Six LSU pitchers issued a season-high 10 walks, and starter Zac Person didn’t make it out of the fourth inning as Florida completed a three-game sweep of the Tigers, 11-7, in Gainesville on Sunday.

It was the first sweep of LSU since Vanderbilt swept the Tigers in April 2011.

Junior catcher Kade Scivicque gave the Tigers an early lead Sunday, lacing an RBI single to left field to score sophomore shortstop Alex Bregman and put the Tigers up 1-0.

Gator center fielder Harrison Bader answered in the bottom of the frame, dispatching Person’s 2-1 pitch into the left-center field bleachers for Florida’s fourth home run of the series to knot the game at one.

The Tigers strung together three consecutive hits in the second, the last a double from freshman left fielder Jake Fraley that scored juniors Conner Hale and Tyler Moore.

Fraley finished the game 2-for4, joining Hale as the only two LSU players with multiple hits.

After John Sternagel’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second cut the Gator deficit to 3-2, LSU senior SWEEP, see page 7

Louisville jumps out to early lead, routs LSU 73-47 Danille Ballard scores 24 points in loss Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer

It was over before it ever had a chance to get started.

LSU entered its NCAA Sweet 16 matchup Women’s against Louisville full of confidence ke t b a l o u r n a m following its comelT back victory against West Virginia on Tuesday, but the Cardinals blew LSU off the court in a 73-47 win.

Prior to the contest, LSU already had a monstrous mountain to climb. In its victory against the Mountaineers, senior guard Jeanne Kenney’s career ended with a s

concussion — the third or fourth of her career. With freshman guard Raigyne Moncrief out with a knee injury, the loss of Kenney left the squad with two of its starters out for the next round of the NCAA Tournament.

That meant LSU sophomore guard Danielle Ballard needed to continue her dominating run in postseason play. The Memphis, Tenn., native scored a combined 46 points in the team’s first two games of the tournament.

In the first half, Ballard rose to the challenge.

She shot 7-of-12 from the field, scoring 14 points. But she was the only Lady Tiger able to put dents in Louisville’s defensive armor.

“I think the one thing about Louisville’s defense is they do a nice job of changing up their

defense, and they do a nice job of picking and choosing who to trap, when to trap and things like that,” said LSU coach Nikki Caldwell.

“So we wanted to take the guesswork out of it.”

With LSU leading 12-9 after seven minutes, Louisville turned on the jets, going on a 12-2 run that quickly ignited the hometown crowd.

Led by senior guard Shoni Schimmel, who had 14 points in the first half, the Cardinals pulled away from the Lady Tigers heading into the locker room. Louisville led 41-23 at halftime.

Louisville never looked back.

The combination of Schimmel and senior guard Tia Gibbs proved to be too much for a depleted LSU lineup, scoring a total of 34 points.

The Lady Tigers out-rebounded Louisville 48-46, but LSU’s lack of shooting efficiency combined with the Cardinals’ 40 percent success rate from beyond the arc led to the quick downfall of the visiting squad.

Facing Gator relievers Kirby Snead and Bobby Poyner, the Tigers collected only three hits after the fourth, using coach Paul Mainieri’s new aggressive approach at the plate to no avail.

Mainieri yanked Person in the fourth after Gator catcher Taylor Gushue’s RBI single was followed

by Person’s second walk of the inning, inserting senior right-hander Nate Fury.

Fury issued back-to-back walks on nine pitches to plate another run, then gave up a two-RBI single to Peter Alonso to put the Gators in control, 6-4.

The Florida fifth followed the same script as Tiger junior reliever Henri Faucheux walked two batters to start the inning, allowed

Monday, March 31, 2014

In response to SidneyRose Reynen’s column, “Clothing choices, styles are a reflection of ourselves,” one reader had this to say: “This argument is slightly one-sided in that it does not address the social stigma forced on men by schools. I went to multiple schools in my childhood that would not allow me to grow my hair out passed my eyebrows, over my ears or touching my collar. It was deemed a “distraction” by the Principle. This issue was so important to the school that I received detentions for my hair length, and my brother was not allowed to walk across the aisle at his graduation unless he cut his hair. How is it more of a distraction for a guy to have long hair than it is for a girl? It isn’t. In this same vein, guys are not allowed to have any visible piercings in many schools, including all but one of the schools that I’ve attended in my life. Saying it’s sexism that girls don’t have certain freedoms when it comes to their choice of attire is fine, but it must be noted that guys have the same sort of restrictions forced upon them. If my shorts were too short in school, I was forced to go home and change (this has happened to me).”

The best TED Talks focus on original content through monologues and knowledgeable speakers, and TEDxLSU tried its best to live up to that standard in its second year on campus.

Jacqueline Stephens, director of Basic Research at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, used her presentation to discuss scientific research as a cathedral of human thought, noting that all knowledge builds on itself for thousands of years and provides context for other areas of science.

According to Stephens’ words, each presentation offered something valuable, even if it wasn’t obvious at the time.

But I’m still not sure how owner of Flaming Lotus Jewelry Lauren Collignon’s presentation, which centered on the idea that “everything is bananas, all the way down,” was supposed to enlighten us.

Collignon’s lighthearted dance and her talk of the shenanigans of a bananasuited duo defined her as the entertainment piece, and it came off as mocking privilege.

Her privilege to be on a stage with a rapt audience should’ve seemed more important, and her point about the insanity of life is valuable. But the way she presented made it seem like a poorly rehearsed joke.

Most everyone in TEDxLSU’s crowd was older and upper class.

They were keen on raising awareness and then heading home, a good day’s work finished after listening to 19 people lecture at them

for five hours. To them, the bananas seemed delightful.

Some students attended as well, which is impressive considering the student ticket fee was $50.

As Rebecca Burdette, event manager, mentioned after the event concluded, that’s much less than the ticket price of some official TED talks — those climb to the $2,500 range.

I understand the event needs to earn money, but the cost ends up barring many community members who might otherwise attend.

Instead of feeling like true communication with the Baton Rouge public, TEDxLSU felt like a short update for those who prefer to dip their toes into social involvement once a year.

It was slacktivism at its finest ­— a Ponzi scheme wherein this year’s fees pay for the next year’s event and so on — until the whole TEDx nation consumes itself.

The theme of this year’s event was “Prepare to Enact,” which entailed taking lessons beyond the Shaver Theatre and not focusing on the shortness and inadequacy of presentations.

But the way it turned out, if enact really means “convincing audience members to donate money, remember capitalism above all else and focus on job creation,” then it went well.

At least half the speakers wouldn’t have been out of place at a Louisiana business conference.

The motivations behind the event are noble, and starting conversations about community issues is important.

Like one presenter, Bryan McCann, assistant professor of Rhetoric and Cultural Studies, mentioned straight from the TED slogan, “By using this platform — to promote ideas worth spreading — let’s use conversations

Editorial Policies & Procedures

after this talk to enact.”

McCann had the right idea, along with some of the other presenters. I heard conversations during the breaks that reached deeper than typical friendly debates, and that’s something that doesn’t happen often enough amid social norms about politeness.

IBM manager of Talent Development Dima Ghawi had it right, though, when she came on stage holding a glass vase. She shattered the vase at the end of her talk, urging audience members to take risks with their own vases.

That risk is what this year’s talks lacked. Most points came across as vanilla, and many speakers followed what seemed to be templates for presentation.

The unnerving underlying tone stressed assimilating in a society that sets marginalized people up for failure, and I expected more from a poverty-based and classist University town full of radical thinkers.

There were exceptions. Baton Rouge Youth Coalition leader Dominique Ricks shut the crowd up for a blessed five minutes with a poem about racism.

The first student to present also spoke, opening the door to other, greater student contributions beyond the volunteer positions they already hold.

TEDxLSU begged for more of these mold-breaking presentations, and I hope next year they’ll focus on new perspectives instead of the same stale ideas found in self-help books.

Louie’s Cafe part of an American tradition BUT HE MEANS WELL Gordon Brillon News Editor You don’t need me to tell you about Louie’s Cafe. You know the smell, you know the chili cheese hash browns, you know the constant rotation of waitresses, all of them your best friend.

Regrouping at Louie’s after a long night is a quintessential part of the LSU experience, equal to complaining about Riverside Towing or taking midnight calls from acquaintances you barely remember who need a ride home.

But as much as Louie’s is an LSU and Baton Rouge tradition, it’s part of a larger group of restaurants of its type that tie the South to the rest of the nation.

These places are all over the country, serving the same greasy food and hospitality to the same groups of people. Amanda’s, a tiny diner in my hometown in Rhode Island, opens at 4 a.m. to serve truckers and anyone else unlucky enough to be passing through in the early hours.

They pepper pit-stop towns along interstates all across the country and sit in the heart of its biggest cities. And wherever you consider Baton Rouge to fall on that spectrum, Louie’s is a contribution to the

national diner conversation.

Diners like Louie’s wouldn’t be absolutely everywhere in this country if they didn’t say something about us as a people.

The United States has, for a very long time, been a nation on the move. Since Thomas Jefferson made the purchase that gave this state its name, Americans have expanded into the open space, always looking for a place to settle and call their own.

We define ourselves by our movements and the new places we adopt, whether it’s where we were born, the college we pay out-of-state tuition to attend or the foreign country we study in and dream about returning to. We are where we go.

That’s why diners like Louie’s and Amanda’s popped up all over the country in the ’50s. We were building interstates, packing up and moving to newly open regions of the country, and wherever we came from, we brought our neon signs and recipes for bacon and eggs with us.

Every diner, no matter what it serves or what accents the fry cooks speak with, is basically the same. In any state, the diner you’re in will remind you of the one down the street from where you grew up.

For someone in a new state, a new city, a new country, it’s comforting to know that wherever you end up, there will be a place where a smiling waitress will serve you a cheap cup of coffee.

ANGELA MAJOR / The Daily Reveille

Waitress Dawn Simonson serves a table March 23 at Louie’s Cafe. Louie’s has become a Baton Rouge icon since opening in 1946.

From all this, you might think I’m worried about Louie’s moving to a new building. It’s easy to think that a move to the former Wendy’s will symbolize a new, sterile corporate identity.

But I don’t think that’s coming.

For all that the Louie’s management needs, like new facilities, more space and more parking — and God knows it needs more parking — we need Louie’s to keep being what it already is.

We need that place where they don’t care if you’re coming back

from Sunday morning mass or leaning your head on the table because the sunlight is about to make your head split open, and for Baton Rouge and LSU, that place is Louie’s.

When I first arrived in town, I asked someone on the sidewalk by the Quad where I could get a decent breakfast.

Without hesitation, the guy referred me to Louie’s.

“It’s kind of dirty,” he said, “but you’ll like it.”

The guy turned out to be right.

Louie’s is kind of dirty, kind of

grungy, and the smell is famous for a reason. But that’s just the way we like it, and I don’t think it’s going to change any time soon.

Good luck, Louie’s. Stay dirty.

Lack of Western action reflects poorly on alliance BRACE YOURSELF Ryan McGehee Columnist Imagine if the Baton Rouge Police Department got a call from the LSU Police Department saying a mass shooting was imminent on campus, and they needed serious backup. Imagine further if BRPD gave a half-answer along the lines of, “We could maybe send you some extra Kevlar, but this really isn’t our thing yet.” That is basically the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s, or NATO’s, position on the Ukrainian crisis.

In recent weeks, Russia has been massing ground forces on Ukraine’s eastern border for what the Kremlin calls “exercises.” With the number of soldiers almost as high as 80,000 and potentially 50,000 more on the way, one could hardly call these measures exercises.

In addition, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been busy building a case for war with the Russian populace. This includes even more rhetoric about the dangers and “brutality” that the Russian-speaking people in Ukraine face.

What this all boils down to is

Jacquelyn Martin / The Associated Press

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen listens to a question March 19 while speaking about the future of NATO at The Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.

the fact that Putin fully intends to invade eastern Ukraine within the next few weeks.

And what has the West responded with? Not much, actually.

While the Russian bear prepares to go to war with Ukraine, President of the European Council Herman van Rompuy called for “de-escalation” of the crisis at a news conference in Brussels, Belgium on March 26.

What Rompuy does not understand is that Russia will not de-escalate if it isn’t met with overwhelming force to make it back down. By refusing to put a substantive military option on the table, the West has removed its best leverage against the Kremlin.

What is needed is a NATOoperated no-fly zone over eastern Ukraine, shipments of arms and

munitions to the Ukrainian military and a total mobilization by the Alliance. The full weight of NATO conventional forces would be more than ample to deter Putin. He isn’t seeking a fight with the West. He is merely pushing, and at the moment, we are allowing him to. His troop buildup is a response to the absence of any consequences for his actions.

Instead, NATO is taking the position that it will not directly intervene unless one of the member states is directly threatened, which would result in a response by all members under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which establishes that an attack on one is an attack on all.

This position allows the Kremlin to take free rein with any — as the Russians call them — “near abroad” states with impunity and effectively throws Ukraine — which ousted its government in favor of closer ties with the Europe — under the bus. This is the same kind of vacillating that allowed the Third Reich to illegally grab Austria, Czechoslovakia and half of Poland.

Failing to deter aggression only invites more of it.

Despite engaging in both Afghanistan and Libya, NATO was formed primarily to deter Soviet

(read: Russian) expansion into Europe after the Second World War. Putin is pushing for expansion as we speak, and the Alliance appears to be sitting on its hands. If NATO cannot act to maintain the sovereignty of one of its Partners for Peace, then it should no longer exist as an entity.

Organizations like this are only needed as much as they are viable. Failing to meet this challenge will render NATO the appendix of international organizations. Unless it wants to go the way of the Commonwealth of Nations — which is nothing more than a nod to the former strength of the British Empire — then the Alliance must cease this charade of cowardice toward the Kremlin and fulfill its intended purpose.

Otherwise, we are guaranteed to be looking at a much larger crisis down the road.

chip pancakes.

Once Louie’s moves this summer from the West State Street building it has occupied since 1986 to the nearby former Wendy’s restaurant on Lake Street, however, diners will find a roomier, less grease-saturated experience — for a while, at least.

Owner Jimmy Wetherford told The Daily Reveille earlier this month that the new location will include the iconic open kitchen, counter and stools.

Employees and patrons alike are confident the new Louie’s will maintain its signature atmosphere, too, but it’s not because of the setup of the building.

When Jessica Poni moved to Baton Rouge from Sudan, she found both a job and a home away from home at Louie’s. Poni has worked at Louie’s for 13 years now, doing everything from washing dishes to waiting tables.

She doesn’t mind the smell or the slightly ragged building, she said, because it completes the environment that is home to her Baton Rouge family — coworkers who believe in teamwork and customers always willing to have a friendly conversation.

“You can have a beautiful building, but the people are what matter,” Poni said.

Fortunately, Louie’s appears in no danger of losing customers, even once it moves. The experience of eating there is a tradition, according to English freshman Vincent Rodomista and finance sophomore Logan Williams.

Both students are New Orleans natives whose mothers ate at Louie’s when they attended the University in the 1980s. When Rodomista visited the University for the first time, his mom brought him to Louie’s, and he has since developed a soft spot for diner food.

So has Williams, who first dined at Louie’s after an outing in Tigerland. With its traditional menu and small, somewhat cramped diner atmosphere, Louie’s represents an American phenomenon that is becoming harder to find but that everyone seems to embrace, Williams said.
