The Neiman Show
Museum brings sports art to Capital City; exhibit to feature LeRoy Neiman JENNIFER VANCE · Contributing Writer
ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille
The LSU Museum of Art is opening a new exhibit titled “LeRoy Neiman: Action!” to celebrate the life and works of famed sports artist LeRoy Neiman. Museum curator Katie Pfohl has been at the museum for only a month and a half and said the Neiman exhibit is the first exhibit she put together. The museum staff collaborated and organizied the exhibit before Pfohl came, but she said she has been shaping and planning the programming for the show since her arrival. As curator, Pfohl said she is responsible for permanent exhibitions at the museum and also organizing special exhibitions like the Neiman exhibit, in which art is brought in from across the country or the world. The Neiman exhibit consists of pieces from the LeRoy Neiman Foundation in New York City. The museum developed the exhibit in hopes of identifying and catering to the interests of the community, Pfohl said. The LeRoy Neiman Foundation, originally established by Neiman and his wife in 1986, has promoted and preserved his art since his death in 2012. Pfohl said it was clear to those at the museum that doing an exhibit involving arts and sports was a good idea, but they were waiting for the right project to showcase a great artist. “Neiman is really the perfect artist for that,” Pfohl said. “There is both this LSU connection and this really talented artist, which are things we always try to balance.” Neiman pioneered a relationship between sports and fine arts, which Pfohl said would be interesting to exhibit to the Baton Rouge community. The exhibit, which involved more than two years of planning and organizing, features more than 80 pieces by Neiman. While Neiman is famous for his brightly-colored serigraphs, or poster prints, of various athletes and moments in sports history, the museum will focus on his drawings and sketches. NEIMAN, see page 2

ACADEMICS
MCAT exam to undergo changes Joshua Jackson Staff Writer
Before becoming a doctor, physician or psychologist, would-be medical professionals must take the Medical College Admission Test. This assessment of a pre-med student’s academic preparedness will undergo a few changes beginning in 2015. The current MCAT includes four sections: biological sciences, physical sciences, verbal reasoning and a writing sample. To prepare students for the new changes to the medical field, the MCAT will add three disciplines: psychology, sociology and biochemistry. The new test will also remove the writing portion and add a twohour lunch break. As the MCAT adds these subjects, the test itself will take longer to complete. Almost two hours of material will be added to the test MCAT, see page 2
TUITION
Tuition, fees continue to increase for fall semester Renee Barrow Staff Writer
As the fall semester approaches, University fee bills are waiting to be paid, but some students may notice a difference in their total charges. According to Budget and Planning Director Thomas Smith, students paying in-state tuition will see a 10 percent increase, while students paying out-of-state tuition will see an increase of slightly more than 2 percent. “This year, nonresident students pay $13,209,” Smith said. “Last year, they paid $12,871.” Smith said the fluctuation is partly due to the GRAD Act, which took effect in 2011. The GRAD Act requires the University to charge nonresident fees the same amounts as other Southern Regional Education Board schools. The nonresident fee raise this
year is lower than the 15 percent raise in past years, Smith said. “We think it’s good,” Smith said. “Unfortunately we’ve been hitting those nonresident students pretty hard in the past few years, but it is something we were directed to do by the legislature.” Even so, some students paying in-state tuition are not entirely satisfied. Sports administration junior Meaghan Harvey said she notices tuition rising every year, and even if it is only by a few hundred dollars, it is still a significant amount. “I’ve got friends who have to take semesters and years off because they can’t afford the next semester,” Harvey said. “It’s almost impossible to keep up without outside help, like loans.” Harvey said she does not feel the University does enough to communicate with students about how
their fees are used, nor do students have enough of a say on how their funds are used. “There’s an Academic Excellence Fee, and I don’t even know what that is,” Harvey said. “They should have more of a description in an email.” Harvey said it does not make a difference whether the fee bill is posted earlier in the summer or later in August. “They’re still taking $5,000 from me, whether it’s [posted] before or after,” Harvey said. Some students are satisfied with how University Bursar Operations communicates. “I would prefer it a little earlier, but it’s good they post it when they do,” said pre-nursing freshman Conner Karam. Karam said he received frequent FEES, see page 2

While students should expect to see a tuition increase on their fee bill, some students would rather see an explanation of the charges.

STATE
Louisiana happiest state in the nation Lauren Guillot Contributing Writer
Disney World may be the “Happiest Place on Earth,” but Louisiana is the happiest state in the U.S. According to a paper from Harvard University and University of British Columbia researchers, the five happiest cities in the nation are all located in Louisiana: Lafayette, Houma, Shreveport-Bossier City, Baton Rouge and Alexandria. The paper, co-authored by Harvard University economics professor Ed Glaeser, University of British Columbia assistant professor Joshua Gottlieb, and Harvard economics doctoral candidate Oren Ziv, investigates the “persistent differences in self-reported subjective well-being across U.S. metropolitan areas.” Currently, the study is under revision at the Journal of Labor Economics. The research consisted of data from the Centers for Disease Control Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System life satisfaction survey and other peer-reviewed sources. A scoring system for happiness was created and adjusted to control for age, ethnicity and race, relationship status, family size, employment and income. Lake Charles ranked No. 8, Monroe No. 17 and New Orleans was No. 59. The unhappiest city
listed was New York City. Joy Cobert, a real estate agent in Lafayette, said she agrees with Lafayette’s ranking as the happiest city in the nation. “Lafayette has a small, closeknit feel, and everybody is super friendly and they love this community,” Cobert said. “Everyone is very supportive of this community, but it has all the resources of a big city.” One goal of the study was to investigate why “unhappy cities” are still experiencing population growth. The researchers found that the desire for happiness is not the only motivation for people’s actions. “An alternative view is that humans are quite understandably willing to sacrifice both happiness and life satisfaction if the price is right,” the authors wrote in the paper’s conclusion. “Indeed, the residents of unhappier metropolitan areas today do receive higher wages presumably as compensation for their misery.” LSU journalism junior and Lafayette native Randee Iles said that the Cajun culture of Lafayette is what makes the people happy.

making it approximately six hours and fifteen minutes long. Close to 68,000 students take the MCAT per year, and the addition of these new disciplines means that study methods for the 2015 version will see changes. Joshua Kelly, marketing coordinator for MCAT prep company Altius, suggested students look into new study methods as soon as possible. He said the more familiar the students become with the new exam, the more prepared they will be. “Work with someone who has already taken the MCAT,” Kelly said. “They will help understand how to approach the exam.” Psychology junior Jenna Zeringue never wanted to be a doctor because of the amount of schooling

emails and has not noticed significant tuition changes. Student Government President Clay Tufts said he believes posting the fee bills in July gives students enough time to pay, but another option could be to post them earlier and not allow payments until late July. “That way, students could be

The show will display 10 to 12 serigraphs, while the remaining pieces will be drawings and sketches Neiman drew from the sidelines, Pfohl said. The exhibit will also feature various installations to attract sports fans to the art world, Pfohl said. Wood cut-outs 16 feet tall of football players based on Neiman’s drawings will be hung along the walls. Pfohl said she sought to bring the University more into the exhibit and will display installations of baseballs and footballs painted by Neiman and accompany them with 91 baseballs signed by LSU baseball greats and footballs signed by championship teams and players over the past 30 years. “For us, this exhibition is about finding ways to celebrate this artist,” Pfohl said, “But also to make this a celebration of LSU sports
and a fear of the MCAT. She said she pushed through that anxiety to achieve her goal of becoming a psychiatrist and began preparing for the inevitable. Since hearing about the changes to the MCAT, her fear has resurfaced along with a few new frustrations. “Biochemistry and sociology were classes I planned to take my senior year,” Zeringue said. “Now that they’re on the MCAT, I have to squeeze everything into this year to be ready.” Zeringue restructured her schedule to add subjects included on the MCAT, pushing the psychology classes she wanted to take back another year. She understands the medical field is constantly expanding but finds an eight-hour test “ridiculous.” “I’m going to make studying for the MCAT like its own class,” Zeri-
ngue said. “There’s so much information to absorb in a limited amount of time.” The overall scoring of the MCAT will also change in 2015. Each section will be worth a total of 132 points, making the maximum score 528. Kelly believes medical schools will not decrease their required scores but will adjust for the 2015 MCAT. He also wants to remind aspiring medical marvels that a good MCAT score is just one step to being accepted into a medical program. “A solid application with a compelling personal statement that speaks to their achievements and passion for medicine is also required,” Kelly said.
more aware of what they need to pay for the coming semester,” Tufts said. Donna Torres, associate vice chancellor for accounting and financial services, said posting the fee bills in late July gives students ample opportunity to complete payment, and she has not received any complaints about it. “It’s our intent that when a student completes registration that
they realize the financial obligation to continue their education,” Torres said. Fee bills for the upcoming fall semester are due by Aug. 7.
and the interest in sports in the community.” With this exhibit, Pfohl said the museum has the chance to draw in a more diverse audience and bring in people who have never enjoyed art before. “We’re really going to be seeking to involve the community in a rich and powerful way,” Pfohl said. One of the Pfohl’s main goals for the exhibit is to show that art is not only hung on museum walls, but how it makes its way into popular culture, she said. The response to the exhibition already has been so great, Pfohl said. The museum is looking for more ways to speak to the sports community through different programming. “Hopefully, one of the results of this exhibition will be a lasting relationship between the sports community and the museum,” Pfohl said. Pfohl said the museum is
bringing in a new installation to the permanent collection in the next year, which will focus on the state and its history to bring a dynamic and educational space for community outreach. The opening reception for the Neiman exhibit will be sportsthemed, serving popcorn and other sports-related food. “It’s going to be a total blast,” Pfohl said. “LeRoy Neiman: Action!” opens Aug. 1 and runs through Jan. 18. The opening reception for the exhibit will be held tonight from 6:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. at the museum. Admission is free for members of the museum and $10 for non-members.

With running backs Kenny Hilliard and Leonard Fournette and a solid offense, LSU’s running game will again be productive. However, the Tigers’ setback will be their passing game. After losing quarterback Zach Mettenberger and receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, LSU will find it difficult to keep pace with Auburn’s no-huddle rushing attack and Florida’s experience. Also, the Tigers are 2-2 in their last four trips to Auburn and are 1-3 in their last four games in Florida. Alabama has been far superior to LSU since the November 2011 “Game of the Century,” and it will display its success again this season.
LSU’s inexperience at the skill positions will add another degree of difficulty to an already daunting SEC West schedule. A trip to Auburn to play the reigning SEC champions will be the toughest road test of the season, and quarterback Nick Marshall is likely to be too much for LSU. Ole Miss will bring its recent recruiting success, and quarterback Bo Wallace will be looking to prove that last year’s victory against LSU was no fluke. Despite having a new quarterback, Alabama coach Nick Saban has continuously put a strong team on the field, and there’s no reason to think this year will be any different.
Staff Writer
Despite its veteran offensive line and potent rushing attack, LSU’s youth at quarterback and receiver will make it too one-dimensional to win big SEC games. The Tigers won’t be able to keep up with Auburn’s high-octane offense, and Florida – which returns 16 starters – will be much improved if quarterback Jeff Driskel can stay healthy. Alabama has simply been the better team recently, and a tight win in Baton Rouge will solidify that standard for another season.
Staff Writer
The Tigers will hark back to the grinding style that became famous (or infamous) in the Jordan Jefferson era. LSU’s quarterbacks have little experience, but a versatile run game, a veteran offensive line and a talent-laden defense will help the Tigers make up for it. However, the way to defeat Auburn is by keeping up with it, and LSU won’t do that in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Meanwhile, the Tigers will play for eight consecutive weeks before meeting an improved Ole Miss team, which they lost to last season. The bright spots of the season will come late when offensive coordinator Cam Cameron figures out how to use his new weapons.
Four things to take away from SEC Media Days LOCKS OF JUSTICE Marcus Rodrigue Staff Writer The 2014 Southeastern Conference Media Days in Hoover, Ala., were a four-day whirlwind of information that featured coaches and players from all 14 member schools. Clichés and canned quotes abounded as more than 1,200 media members forgot the meaning of “elbow room” in search of a sound bite or quirky comment. News outlets, big and small, reported around the clock to make sure the public didn’t miss a single word. Though the overwhelming event became repetitive and
watered down by the time it ended, some relevant storylines emerged from the chaos. Here are some compelling SEC narratives worth following this season. The Wild West The SEC West has never seemed so wide open. Auburn usurped the traditional western powers of Alabama and LSU to win the conference title last season, prompting every coach in the division to firmly believe it was his team’s turn. Though that may sound like usual coach speak, conditions are perfect for another worst-to-first scenario in 2014. Alabama will field a new quarterback and only five returning starters on defense. LSU is riddled with inexperience at the quarterback and
receiver positions to go along with an undersized defensive front. Auburn faces a grueling schedule with trips to Ole Miss, Georgia and Alabama. This opens the door for the rest of the division, especially upstarts Mississippi State and Ole Miss. The Bulldogs return 18 starters, including their top four receivers and dual-threat junior quarterback Dak Prescott. Likewise, the Rebels bring back 16 starters, and coach Hugh Freeze said his players’ “buy-in percentage” is at an all-time high. Though former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel left Texas A&M for the NFL, coach Kevin Sumlin expressed confidence in his recruiting class’s talent. The only unrealistic contender is Arkansas, but that didn’t seem to faze
Auburn in 2013. Alabama’s internal turmoil Alabama has been at the top of the SEC for the last five years, winning two conference championships and three national titles during that span. But the Crimson Tide’s 2013 campaign ended in disaster with their iconic Iron Bowl defeat and upset loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, and senior wide receiver Christion Jones revealed what he believed led to the team’s downfall. “The difference with the 2011 and 2012 teams was that even though we lost games, the leadership didn’t let the team die down,” MEDIA DAYS, see page 4

FOOTBALL
Fournette earns Corbett Award Will Cotchery II Contributing Writer
LSU freshman running back Leonard Fournette was named the winner of the 2013-2014 James J. Corbett Award last Wednesday, becoming the first high school athlete to win the honor. The Corbett Award is awarded to the top male and female athletes in the state of Louisiana. The recipients of the award are selected by current and former media members of the Greater New Orleans Sports Awards Committee. During his senior campaign, Fournette rushed for 1,792 yards and 16 touchdowns. He led St. Augustine High School in New Orleans to a 9-2 record and a
semifinal appearance in the Louisiana High School State Football Playoffs. He finished his high school career with 7,619 rushing yards and 88 touchdowns. His prep efforts contributed to him becoming the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect according to ESPN.com. University of Louisiana at Lafayette softball pitcher Christina Hamilton was named the female recipient of this year’s award. Finishing last season with a 29-4 record, Hamilton was an integral piece of the 49-10-1 Ragin’ Cajuns, who earned a No. 6 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Corbett Award was established in 1967 in honor of the late James J. Corbett, a former athletic
director at LSU who made numerous contributions to collegiate athletics, most notably toward College Football’s Sugar Bowl. Since its inception, LSU greats Pete Maravich (1968-1969), Bert Jones (1972), Charles Alexander (1978), Chris Jackson (1989) and Shaquille O’Neal (1991-1992) have received the award. Both Fournette and Hamilton will be recognized at the New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame Banquet on Aug. 2 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Jones said. “That was kind of different with the team last year. There were a lot of small things the leadership let get by.” Alabama coach Nick Saban mentioned egos and complacency as the biggest challenges heading into this season. A lack of leadership and discipline is uncharacteristic for a Saban-coached team, and the Crimson Tide will need them more than ever after losing 12 starters and three-year quarterback A.J. McCarron. CAN GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA BREAK THROUGH? Both Georgia and South Carolina have snagged SEC East titles during the last four years, but the conference championship has continually eluded both schools. Georgia coach Mark Richt guided his club to two SEC championships in the early 2000s before finishing on the fringes of the division for the next five years. Richt suffered through critics claiming he should be fired following his only losing season in 2010 before leading the Bulldogs to back-to-back championship game losses the next two years. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier brought the Gamecocks to their first and only division crown in 2010, only to get blown out by Auburn in the title game. Since then, South Carolina went on three straight 11-win seasons in which it failed to win the East despite beating the eventual division champion. The media picked South
Carolina and Georgia to finish first and second in the SEC East, respectively. The two teams will square off Sept. 13 in Columbia, S.C., and the winner will more than likely run the table in the East and get another shot at the SEC crown. AUBURN AND MISSOURI OUT TO PROVE STAYING POWER Auburn and Missouri shocked the nation by winning their divisions for a chance at the SEC championship last season, but their prospects of repeating look dim. The media selected Auburn to finish second in the West and Missouri to come in fourth in the East, but the clubs didn’t seem to mind. Coaches and players representing both schools held no-nonsense, business-like press conferences, knowing full-well the daunting challenge of repeating as division champions. Though Auburn received the second-most points for preseason SEC champion voting, it still earned less than half of Alabama’s total. Missouri has a much steeper hill to climb after losing 15 starters, but coach Gary Pinkel expects his team to be back in top form. “I don’t get into what’s said or what’s predicted,” Pinkel said. “Someone apologized to me a little while ago about the way they voted after this thing. I said, ‘I don’t know how you voted for us, and I really don’t care.’”

Band still going strong after 20 years of success
Joshua Jackson Staff Writer
A lengthy music career is something many artists long for and something few obtain. The artists who cracked the code of success, maintain strong fan bases. For alternative-rock band Toadies, its cult-like following motivates it to continue making music and touring all over the world, including a stop at the Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge. The band from Fort Worth, Texas, formed in 1989 but didn’t find national fame until 1994 when it released its debut album, “Rubberneck,” featuring Toadies’ most popular single, “Possum Kingdom.” After 20 years and a few lineup changes, Toadies rereleased “Rubberneck” with remastered and unreleased songs. Doni Blair, the band’s current bassist, said Toadies is excited about being able to rerelease “Rubberneck,” but it is overjoyed that the group is together for it. Blair knows that a lot of bands can’t share such a milestone because the band splits up, but he sees the togetherness of Toadies as a sign of things to come. “We’re documenting a place in time that we were popular,” Blair said. “More importantly, the tour shows that we have a lot more
Three best and worst things about fall THE ROMAN FORUM Tommy Romanach Staff Writer
As July ends, students are getting closer to the end of summer and the start of the fall 2014 semester. While some people groan about the return to the weekly grind, there are some great things about the transition. Here are the three best and worst things about the return of fall.

Toadies will be playing its rereleased debut album “Rubberneck” at the Varsity Theatre on Aug. 14.
on the horizon.” Before going on tour, Toadies questioned whether to begin sets with “Rubberneck” or to finish with material from the debut album. A few of the members had concerns that fans would leave after playing the album in its entirety
first, but the band decided giving the fans what they want was more important than risking a few walkouts. “We play the album in its exact order,” Blair said. “I think people pay attention to that detail.” Toadies never achieved the
major success some other ’90s bands had, but Blair believes that the fans’ desire to “hear more” keeps the band relevant. He found that a certain creative freedom comes with being a part of a band that is well known, but not too well known. That liberation
allows Toadies to continue enjoying its career instead of treating it as a burden. “We can make music as we please, not because we have to,” Blair said. Each year, the band hosts “Dia De Los Toadies,” a two-day festival held in Fort Worth. During the first night of the festival, it plays an intimate acoustic set. After a few years of doing so, the band developed the idea of making an entire record with an unplugged sound. The project will be Toadies’ upcoming album, set to release in the spring. The album intends to be a stark contrast from the band’s usual, dark-toned music. “It’s the project I’m most proud of by us because it’s so opposite everything else,” Blair said. As the group enters the Varsity on Aug. 14, Blair promises a genuine experience. He assured there are no gimmicks or pyrotechnics incorporated into a Toadies show. The tenured artists on the stage will not deliver a “downloaded” experience but simply play the music they worked 20 years to master.

The Good
The Bad
1. Leaving your apartment Nothing eats away at a person like constant battles with management at an apartment complex. Spotty Wi-Fi, overpriced rent and random fees can all drive a college student insane. Thankfully, most of us are only locked down for one year and can get out if things ever turn truly bad. Fresh starts are essential to making it through college, and finding a new and better place to live is a large part of that.
1. Traffic The benefit of living in what is basically a ghost town during the summer is the lack of cars. Every once in a while you might run into some congestion on Highland Road, but it’s nothing compared to what’s to come. Even imagining being trapped on Aster Street as you try to get on Highland is frightening, so the real thing must be a nightmare. I, for one, will try to use the bus as much as possible to avoid being stuck in traffic constantly.
2. Return of football/tailgating A sports fan can only live on baseball alone for so long. Thankfully, the fall brings the return of LSU football and the NFL. Suddenly, the weekends become far busier. Even if sports aren’t your thing, football brings tailgating along with it, and there are few things more enjoyable than the atmosphere on campus during home-game Saturdays.
2. The dreaded first week I’ve always hated the first week of classes — not because of any lectures, but because of the amount of people. It is so early in the year that most students actually attend class, causing the campus to be as congested as it ever will be. I’m all for students going to class more, but I also know that’s a lost cause. The same students come the first week and never come back, like clockwork, and it makes the start of every semester annoying.
3. Better hours at restaurants One thing I learned living in Baton Rouge this summer is that nothing stays open past midnight. It is too expensive to keep the same hours during the school year, and some restaurants close entirely in the summer. But fall is returning, and that means students get the wide range of dining options they’re accustomed to. More importantly, students who work at these establishments will be able to work more hours, meaning a larger paycheck.
3. Textbooks If an increase in students’ fee bill is not enough to break the bank, there are the dreaded prices for your new batch of textbooks. The prices seem to go higher every year, while the money you get for selling them back seems to go down. I usually go into each semester convincing myself I won’t buy a textbook and save money, but after my professors go on about the importance of textbooks for that course, I give in. The best part is when I use those books for only three assignments the entire semester.
