‘BUSTING THE BUTT’
If students want to take a smoke break between classes this semester, they’re out of luck.

Law Center to realign with University next year
For 37 years, the Paul M. Hebert Law Center has been an anomaly within the Southeastern Conference — a standalone campus within the LSU System separate from the flagship campus in Baton Rouge, yet it’s located within 100 feet of its boundaries. The Law Center will rejoin the University as part of the flagship campus in January 2015, pending approval from the schools’ accrediting bodies, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and the American Bar Association. The realignment of the two campuses will allow the school to provide a better interdisciplinary legal education for its students, said Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss. It will also prepare the school to compete with other law schools by providing a “three-plus-three” program. In the program, students can enter the Law Center in their fourth year of undergraduate studies and complete their undergraduate and law degrees in six years rather than seven. Realignment plans come with agreements to allow the Law Center to keep the freedom to make

Congo confirms two Ebola-related deaths THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KINSHASA, Congo — Two Ebolarelated deaths have been confirmed in Congo, the country’s health minister said Sunday, though local officials believe the cases are unrelated to the outbreak in West Africa that has killed more than 1,400 people. Eight samples were taken from Djera, located in the Boende region of Congo’s northwest Equateur province, and two of them came back positive, Felix Kabange Numbi said on state television Sunday. Congolese officials believe Ebola has killed 13 people in the region, including five health workers, Kabange said. He said 11 people were sick and in isolation and that 80 contacts were being traced. “This epidemic has nothing to do with the one in West Africa,” Kabange said. This is the seventh outbreak of Ebola in Congo. The disease was first discovered there in 1976. “The experience acquired during the six previous epidemics of Ebola will contribute to the containing of this illness,”
Kabange said. Boende is the region where the World Health Organization said an outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis has killed 70 people in recent weeks. The WHO said last week those deaths were not Ebolarelated, but WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said by email Sunday that the information was the result of “miscommunication from the field.” Hartl said on Twitter that samples tested at a national laboratory were positive for Ebola and that the results of confirmation tests from a laboratory in Gabon would likely come back Monday. He said it was possible the outbreak could be unrelated to the outbreak in West Africa, where a total of 2,615 infections and 1,427 deaths have been recorded in four countries — Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Djera, a collection of villages, is more than 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from Congo’s capital, Kinshasa. It is more than 600 kilometers from the provincial capital, Mbandaka. Kabange said Djera would be placed under quarantine.

ST. LOUIS — Hundreds of people gathered Sunday in St. Louis’ largest park for a festival encouraging peace over violence — an event that took on new resonance after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-yearold by a white police officer. Peace Fest 2014 was already in the works before Michael Brown was killed in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. But the shooting and the nightly protests it touched off have put a larger spotlight on the event. “I think this is divine,” said James Clark, vice president of community outreach for Better Family Life Inc., the nonprofit that organizes the festival each year. “The whole world is watching Peace Fest today.” Tracy Martin, the father of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin, was scheduled to speak at the event at Forest Park, a move that was also set prior to the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown. Organizers said a representative of Brown’s family would join Tracy Martin. Trayvon Martin, 17, was also unarmed when he was shot and killed in 2012. George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who said he shot Martin in self-defense, was acquitted.

Student activists organize ‘Don’t Shoot’ photo Hospitals
owe university system
BY Brittany Clark bclark@lsureveille.com A University organization posed for a photo on the Paul M. Hebert Law Center steps Sunday to raise awareness about the current tensions in Ferguson, Missouri. Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-yearold man, in a St. Louis, Missouri, suburb on Aug. 9, sparking uproar throughout the country. University and college campuses began participating in the social media campaign “Don’t Shoot: Justice for Mike Brown.” LSU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council organized this campaign photograph and fundraiser to collect donations for the Brown family. NPHC President Dominique McShan spearheaded the event, and he said the organization got involved because the campaign focused on principles from the Civil Rights Era, which are similar to NPHC’s principles. The “Don’t Shoot: Justice for Mike Brown” event featured participants from various organizations on campus. Students represented the African American Cultural Center, LSU’s Black Male Leadership Initiative and several other student organizations. African American studies professor Herman Kelly said the photograph effectively brought awareness, but students have additional responsibilities after this event to ensure change. “The effectiveness of the ‘Don’t Shoot’ campaign could only be judged from the

Students gather Sunday in front of the Law Center for a ‘Don’t Shoot: Justice for Mike Brown’ photo. action after the photograph,” said African American studies professor Troy Allen. Allen said if the frustration and energy from the Brown shooting is channeled into a positive and proactive agenda, then real dialogue can begin on race and racism issues for young black men. McShan and Kelly said being a black male means being aware of your surroundings and the impression you make on others.
McShan said he’s unsure if instances where LSUPD shut down NPHC events could have been handled differently. He said he noticed tensions between LSUPD and students, and he is working with NPHC in hopes of an event to ease existing tension. “A lot of black students feel they are racially profiled the way Mike Brown was,” McShan said. He said this is why students are interested in the Brown shooting.
Allen said University students identify with Brown’s age and “the brutal way in which he was killed and how he was left on the street for hours.” Marketing sophomore Tye Martin, a participant in the “Don’t Shoot: Justice for Mike Brown” photograph, said he thinks Brown’s case was police brutality. “I haven’t followed the news but from what I do know, Michael Brown showed no force,” he said.
The research foundation running the LSU hospitals in Shreveport and Monroe said it paid the university system nearly $7 million Friday for back-owed debts tied to privatization, less than onethird of the amount demanded by LSU in a collection letter this week. The Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana, or BRF, said it placed another $10.6 million into escrow, saying it will be disbursed to LSU once remaining financial terms are worked out. The foundation said in a statement that it will cover the balance of what is owed to the university system. LSU health care adviser Jerry Phillips said he didn’t know if the foundation had wired any money — but said the university system and BRF hadn’t reached an agreement about how much was unpaid. He said the $17 million offered by the foundation is “way short of $25 million” that LSU is owed. “We still don’t have an agreement on what the numbers are,” Phillips said. The research foundation took control of the two hospitals in October 2013 and operates them as University Health System, as part of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s push to privatize the university-run public hospital system.

Expansion $12 million beyond budget BY Megan gallo mgallo@lsureveille.com
The UREC is downsizing original renovation plans to overcome a financial setback. The bid for the last phase of construction, Phase III, came back $12 million beyond budget in April. Unusually high market costs on labor and steel, along with other factors, caused the higher pricing, said UREC director Laurie Braden. The UREC then worked with 360 Architecture and GraceHebert Architects to redo the plans, according to its website. The new plans downsized the original renovations by removing some features like the outdoor lap pool. However, the features some students said they were most excited about, like the extended indoor track and LSU leisure pool,
also known as a lazy river, remained intact. Braden said the removed features can be added later down the road if there are enough funds. Phase II, completed on Aug. 18, added nine new tennis courts and 360 two-hour parking spots. Chemical engineering senior Ming He said he is excited about the new renovations, especially the parking. He said he’s left the UREC before when he could not find parking. Braden said the UREC administration was aware of the students’ requests. The parking project and tennis courts, expected to be completed last spring, were some of the many projects affected by heavy rainfall, Braden said. Braden said a large portion of the projects were halted because of a work law about construction on land within 1,500
ft. from the levee when the water is higher than 11 ft. Many smaller projects were also completed over the summer, including replacement of locker room carpets, reupholstering of sofas by the racquetball courts, installation of lights on the Challenge Course and the addition of new stretching mats in the cardio/weight room. Once the bidding for Phase III is completed in September, larger changes will be made around the UREC, including a temporary closure of gym courts four and five and a temporary move of the main entrance from the west side to the south side, according to the UREC’s website. Even with all the setbacks, Braden said the project should still be completed in 2016. She said the downsizing makes up for lost time, and the project may be finished sooner than originally expected.

University student designs crawfish-inspired Nike shoe BY MICHAEL TARVER mtarver@lsureveille.com
Traces of Louisiana heritage can be found in almost every aspect of pop culture, most notably in the music and film industry. However, this may be the first time the Cajun masses can get a shoe representing their distinct culture. Last week, a shoe with explosive reds and yellows inspired by the iconic Louisiana tradition of the crawfish boil hit the shelves of local skate store Rukus Board Shop. The designer of the fresh pair of kicks is an employee of Rukus and University student, 19-year-old general business sophomore Hunter Hulin. Hulin received no profit from his design other than the pride of his work. “What we’ve gotten is better than any amount of money they could have given us,” Hulin said. “Just the recognition for the shop and for the state [is enough].” Hulin said he started working on the design last April after approaching the store’s Nike representative. He said the representative essentially gave him a blank outline of a shoe.
The shoe itself is a Nike Dunk Low, which is a benchmark for Nike SB, the company’s skateboarding brand, which was founded in 2002. Hulin said Nike occasionally accepts designs from skate shops, but the process of producing an original design is nearly impossible because designers have to find out what steps needs to be taken. Nike encouraged him to design the shoe but also told him not to get discouraged. Hulin said the submissions of shoe ideas are common around the country, and the odds of Nike picking up the project were slim to none. “I knew I had big shoes to fill and that it had to be something amazing,” Hulin said. “It really had to be something special.” He said the Rukus employees talked for years about what kind of shoe they would design if given the chance, and the crawfish theme was always in the top tier. Hulin said inspiration sparked one night after he had been mulling over many ideas in his head. He used colored pencils and newspaper clippings to piece the project together. “I literally took some

newspaper and traced around the mid-panel and cut it out because I’m not good with Photoshop or anything like that,” Hulin said. The shoe’s newspaper midpanel, right behind the Nike symbol, is arguably what makes the shoe so original and what Hulin thinks stood out to Nike the most. While the shoe is highly coveted, Hulin said the limited edition specialty packaging is also sought after. The box displays crawfish on a newspaper-covered table with corn sprinkled among the mud bugs. Inside the box is the pair of shoes packaged in what looks like a small crawfish sack, and newspaper replaces the normal white tissue paper stuffing the sneaker box. Store owner Ronnie Saurage said there were only 500 of these special edition boxes, and they all sold out within an hour and a half after being released. Nike has released seafood inspired shoes in the past, including shrimp and lobster designs. But this certainly the first time a shoe has been a specific representation of Louisiana culture and fashion. The shoes will be available worldwide on Nike’s website on Saturday.

HONORS COLLEGE
Honors students travel to Havana BY KELSEY BORDELON kbordelon@lsureveille.com Many students choose to study abroad in English-speaking countries with stable politics and economies, but this was not the case for the University Honors College students who accepted the challenge to spend two and a half weeks studying in Havana, Cuba, this summer. In spite of the obstacles this trip could present, Christian Soler, international studies junior, was drawn to it because of his heritage. Coming from a Cuban family, he found the culture interesting and had the opportunity to get to know his roots through family there. Soler took a 25-minute trip to Miramar to visit with his third cousin and his cousin’s wife, who shared stories about Soler’s grandfather and gave him a greater appreciation for the Cuban culture. Other than Soler’s side trip, the students lived in “casa particulars,” the Spanish term for private homestays, in Havana for the majority of their stay. The students were able to practice their Spanish in this setting, though they were not forced to do so. The basis of Soler’s honors trip included classes on the history and society of Cuba, an ideal practice environment for his Spanish and various excursions. Soler’s favorite excursion was to the National Literacy Museum. He said he appreciates the

Soler’s professors on this trip were frank about the conditions in Cuba, he said. There will be much controversy in the coming years, they said, about these conditions. But despite the political and economic instability of their country, Soler believes the “Cubans are some of the friendliest people,” helping him with language barriers and to better understand their culture. The trip was not only a time for class studies, but also for individual observation. “It doesn’t look like a third world country because it’s beautiful, but the people are suffering,”
Soler said. This eye-opening trip affirmed Soler’s zeal for diplomacy. “It’s key for people to immerse themselves in other cultures — get out of our own comfort zones,” he said. As a strong proponent for study abroad, the Honors College’s new Dean Jonathan Earle agrees with Soler. “Part of my mission as dean will be to greatly enhance the number of students who study abroad,” Earle said. There are numerous travel opportunities for Honors College students, and corresponding scholarships are available to students, such as the Starmount Life Insurance Study Abroad Award and the Tiger Athletic Foundation Scholarship.

Cristobal’s pelting rains pummel West Lakeshore Drive Bahamas, cause floods, landslides receives traffic light
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republicw — Slow-moving Tropical Storm Cristobal lashed parts of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands with heavy rainfall and white-crested surf after swollen rivers swept at least three people away on the Caribbean island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. In the Dominican Republic, a man drowned when he tried to drive his pickup truck across a rushing river in Hato Mayor, a province northeast of the capital of Santo Domingo. Juan Manuel Mendez, the country’s emergency operations director, said the death was due to the “regrettable recklessness of this driver.” In neighboring Haiti, authorities were looking for two residents reported swept away late Saturday by a river that burst its banks in the western port town of Saint Marc. “We’re still looking for the bodies,” said Luckecy Mathieu, a local civil protection coordinator. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Cristobal may strengthen into a hurricane on Wednesday while over the open waters of the Atlantic.

BY Malori Bezet mbezet@lsureveille.com Students returning for the fall may notice a change near the eastern perimeter of campus — a traffic light has been implemented at the intersection of West Lakeshore Drive and East Parker Boulevard. Jeffrey Campbell, senior director of Administrative Services, Risk Management and Parking, said changes were necessary at the dangerous intersection, but both the University and City of Baton Rouge control the location and installed the light. LSUPD wrote more than 40 reports about incidents at the intersection over the last four years, 10 of which happened in 2013. Facility Services wanted a traffic circle similar to the one on Dalrymple Drive, but the city wanted to monitor the traffic with a stoplight before determining the best solution, Cambell said. He said the monitoring period could last several months until there is a cohesive solution for the traffic. The traffic light began functioning normally on August 18. “I know it’s not the best because there are no left hand turn signals, but currently
there’s no turn lane, so we can’t put a left turn signal in,” said Campbell. Campbell said the traffic light installation delay was because of a back-up at the utility-marking company, Louisiana One Call, which locates electricity sources. Campbell said the delay was not met with any additional costs, and Facility Services and the city funded the project. Coastal environmental science sophomore Camie Cole is a member of Chi Omega, a sorority housed on West Lakeshore Drive. Cole said before the traffic light, the intersection was dangerous because of a blind spot and people did not pay attention. “The traffic flow is better, and we aren’t constantly looking. Instead of being stuck there for 30 minutes, it’s much shorter because it’s a better flow,” said Cole. Elementary education sophomore and Chi Omega member Taylor Cockerill said the light seems effective, and it improves the intersection so far. “I always thought that it should be a four-way stop,” Cockerill said. “So many wrecks kept blocking up the intersection, and the construction lately hasn’t been ideal.”

The program is part of a state government initiative to promote healthy lifestyles to students and recognize universities putting forth the effort and concern to improve their students’ well-being. However, Sylvester believes the campus can be relaxed about implementation of the policy on football game days, especially when it concerns visitors. “It won’t be necessary to have policemen running around about this,” she said. Mechanical engineering sophomore Marc L’Hoste said LSUPD has to deal with more pressing issues on a day-to-day basis than “busting the butt.” While the department has every capability to enforce the policy, they are unwilling to do so, he said.

ART BUILDING, from page 1 problems were dealt with and will be monitored. Creosote floors in buildings 27 and 28 were sealed, air conditioning was replaced in Building 33 and new doors are being installed upon arrival. Maharrey said Facility Services has tried to implement longer-term solutions whenever possible. He encourages students and faculty alike to report issues to Facility Services when buildings need repairs. Maharrey said they ran into “self-help” projects in the Studio Arts Building, where people tried to handle maintenance issues themselves. Maharrey said he thinks people are just trying to help, but recommends reporting everything to Facility Services. “We can’t fix problems if nobody tells us about them,” he said. Complete renovation plans, new construction and additions to the building’s decades-old technology are “shovel-ready,” said School of Art director Rod Parker. He is hopeful but realistic about the likelihood of the full renovations receiving priority-one funding from the state legislature. Each agency, starting with Facility Services, prioritizes projects and assigns priority-one status to the most important ones. Parker said if the College of Art and Design could raise funds as effectively as the College of Engineering, the state legislature would be more likely to provide the funding for their renovations. Maharrey said many factors
ognizes the potential benefits of kicking the stick to adhere to the tobacco-free distinction. “If anything, it’ll benefit me financially,” he said. “I’ll smoke less on campus, so I won’t have to buy as many cigarettes. I might be a little more stressed than usual, but that’s about it.” Ensuring the University becomes an entirely tobacco-free campus within the policy’s first year will nearly be impossible, and all parties know it, Lalonde said. Sylvester said LSU will be the “last hope” for raising awareness about tobacco manipulation and misuse in students ages 26 and younger. “We must keep in mind that 70 percent of the LSU campus doesn’t smoke,” said Sylvester. “It’ll take a village to do what we’re doing, but, thankfully, we’ve already got the policy. Now, we just need the cessation, stress reduction and student support to truly make it happen.” affect which projects receive funding and which don’t. Sometimes the legislature funds smaller projects, which may not be Facility Services’ first priorities because they cost less. Facility Services decides project priority on a number of factors, one of which is how many students will be affected. A sewage issue affecting the entire campus, for example, may be prioritized ahead of the art studio renovations, Maharrey said. The buildings, originally engineering shops repurposed as art studios, were the subject of a student protest at the State Capitol last April. Studio art senior Emily Seba said before the renovations, the Studio Arts Building was “in the worst condition possible and should’ve been condemned years ago.” The problems persisted for so long, Seba said, she and other students made a rat that lived in the buildings their pet. Studio art sophomore Jessica Chappuis said the heat from the lack of air conditioning in one of the buildings warped the students’ art. Seba said she’s happy to see some of the renovations, like coverings for the asbestos pipes and walls blocking off frayed electrical wiring, but thinks more could be done. She said she doesn’t feel like the University supports its art students because they don’t bring acclaim to the University like engineering students do. She is also not optimistic about the complete renovations receiving funding.

The Daily Reveille LAW CENTER, from page 1 certain decisions as required for law schools by the ABA, though it will be under the University’s administration. Weiss remains confident that the reasons driving former Law Center Dean Paul M. Hebert to separate from the University will not be repeated. Hebert, the Law Center’s namesake, served as dean of the school with a few interruptions from 1937 to 1977. Weiss said Hebert was reluctant to separate the Law Center from the flagship campus but felt the Law Center was “financially starved” because state funding was distributed throughout the University during an era where tuition accounted for much less of the school’s revenue. In the early 1970s, Hebert went to the state legislature for funding he believed would go to the Law Center but did not receive enough, Weiss said. Hebert concluded that the Law Center could better reach
Monday, August 25, 2014 its potential as an autonomous campus within the LSU System. In the last 10 years, the number of students applying to law schools in Louisiana has dropped by more than half, meaning the school has to compete more with others and vie for a portion of the now-smaller student group, Weiss said. “It’s extremely important for the law school students of today and tomorrow to receive training in other fields,” Weiss said. “By having a seat at the family table, it becomes all the more easy to build those kind of bridges for our students.” As the University awaits the approval for the realignment, the development of the three-plus-three program and a pre-law program are already underway, said Gil Reeve, Vice Provost for Academic Programs. Weiss said they are also working toward creating a Law Center honors admission program, where exceptional University students can be admitted to the law school
though an expedited admissions process that bypasses the LSAT. The University’s College of Agriculture and School of Veterinary Medicine’s current program will serve as a model for the three-plusthree program, Reeve said. Two existing curriculums — an undergraduate degree program and a Law Center program — have to be matched and approved by the University for the six-year program to become a reality, Reeve said. An undergraduate pre-law degree is also in the works within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Stacia Haynie, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said she looks forward to the working with the Law Center. If everything is successful, new pathways into the Law Center could be offered as soon as fall 2015. The University is working on developing new programs and gaining approval of the realignment from SACSCOC and the ABA simultaneously.

CARRYING THE LOAD Magee ready for responsibility of No. 18
BY TYLER NUNEZ tnunez@lsureveille.com The primary role of a typical running back is simple: Move the ball forward. Whether the offense is poised to score one yard away from its opponent’s end zone or in danger of a safety one yard away from its own, a typical running back is tasked with taking the ball as far past the line of scrimmage as possible. Terrence Magee is not a typical running back. He’s more than that. The No. 18 on his jersey says so. “If none of us could play quarterback, he could go in and play quarterback,” said freshman quarterback Brandon Harris. “He’s the most intelligent, has the highest football IQ I’ve ever been around as a running back. He knows where everybody is supposed to go.” Magee has not only the intelligence of a quarterback, but also the quiet leadership qualities of one, a sentiment echoed by his teammates when they chose him to wear No. 18 this season. The jersey is awarded to the player who best exemplifies how an LSU football player should conduct himself both on and off the field. “It’s a tremendous honor to be chosen to wear No. 18,” Magee said. “I had a lot of guys in front of me that I’ve seen wear

it and represent the number right, and they set a good foundation for me and showed me how to wear the No. 18.” Among these former Tigers to don the revered number are linebacker Lamin Barrow; Magee’s fellow Franklinton, La., native, safety Brandon Taylor; and quarterback Matt Mauck, who began the tradition when he handed the jersey down to fullback Jacob Hester. A year ago, Magee probably never would have dreamed of receiving the honor. His LSU career started with promise as he carried the ball 27 times for 133 yards and scored a touchdown in five games in his freshman campaign. But he virtually disappeared a year later because of a failed experiment that placed the then 5-foot-9, 212-pound sophomore at wide receiver, where he caught one pass for seven yards. Magee finally had his coming out party in the third quarter of LSU’s 2013 season opener against TCU, when he used his speed to break off a 52-yard touchdown run to give the Tigers a 13-point lead. After TCU responded with a touchdown of their own, he then staked his claim as a primary threat on the ground next drive when he received five touches and eventually carried the ball into the end

In many ways, the SEC Network is like a freshman on orientation week: confident with tons of potential, but saddled with the underlying feeling that they don’t know what they’re doing. The network kicked off on Aug. 14, and so far, the reviews range from intrigued to confused. In one sitting, you are blown away by the number of games the network will deliver but also puzzled at the apparent need for analysts for nearly every SEC school. I’ll offer ESPN the same advice I’d offer those freshmen who spend this week trying to find their classes: Make mistakes and learn. If you don’t throw everything you have against the wall, you’ll never figure out what sticks. One thing that will work is the live coverage of football games all around the conference. There’s a large portion of SEC schools, like Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Tennessee, that are only shown nationally when it’s their turn to get stomped by Alabama. This new network is a godsend for fans of those teams. For college football’s opening weekend, 14 SEC teams will be shown on one of ESPN’s networks, something no other conference can claim. The SEC Network made this possible. It will show eight of those teams

Newcomers Baucom, Gomez-Junco steal the show BY Morgan Prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com
In the LSU soccer team’s 2-0 victory against Troy in its season opener Friday night, both goals were scored by players making their debut in the purple and gold. The early contributions of freshman Jorian Baucom and redshirt junior midfielder Natalia Gomez-Junco, a transfer from the University of Memphis, highlighted the importance of young players on an LSU squad that boasts only one senior. Baucom got the Tigers on the board just 48 seconds into the match by heading in a cross from junior midfielder Fernanda Pina, the fastest goal scored in a season opener in
LSU history. “Well, when you say you want to start the season strong, that was very pleasing to see,” LSU coach Brian Lee said. “It’s good for Jorian to get on the score sheet that early. A good cross from [Pina], so it was a nice assist from her as well. One of the things we really focus on is coming out fast and strong. It doesn’t get any better than that for a start.” After having to sit out all of 2013 because of an NCAA transfer rule, Gomez-Junco made the most of her first start by scoring the second goal in the 59th minute. “I didn’t really see it,” Gomez-Junco said. “They hit me just as I shot, so I couldn’t see it. But hopefully I get tape on it. I’m just happy to score.”
Along with Baucom, defenders Jordane Carvery and Alexis Urch and goalkeeper Lily Alfeld made their first career start. Eight of the nine players in the recruiting class of 2014, which was ranked No. 7 in the nation by TopDrawerSoccer. com, made appearances in the opener. “I think at times they played like freshmen and at times they played like really polished, good players,” Lee said. “At times, there were eight kids who’d never played a real game here. I thought it was really choppy at times, and we didn’t look as smooth as we will later in the season, but [it was] a good start.” Alfeld’s first start comes

Hwang, Choi lift S. Korea past Chicago to win LLWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — In the giddy moments after South Korea won the Little League World Series, outfielder Don Wan Sin realized how he wanted to celebrate. “I want to go to the Blue House — the White House of Korea — and meet the President,” Sin said, breaking up his teammates. Just maybe Sin, who scored twice and hit a solo homer, will indeed get his wish to meet Park Geun-hye. He’s famous back in his homeland — along with all of his teammates. Jae Yeong Hwang drove in two runs and combined with Hae Chan Choi, who weathered a late Chicago rally, to lead the Asia-Pacific Region champions to an 8-4 win in Sunday’s LLWS championship game. Hwang, who was removed because he wasn’t feeling well, gave up one hit in two-plus innings while striking out four. He also drove in his team’s first two runs as they built an 8-1 lead before Jackie Robinson West made it close. “I’m very joyful. It’s a
wonderful feeling,” Hwang said. “I don’t know why I’m even here; I didn’t play very good today.” Choi, who had a homer and scored twice, pitched the last four innings for South Korea, which won its third title after back-to-back championships in 1984 and ‘85. But even he got a little nervous at the end after Chicago collected four of its six hits and scored three times. “I knew I could allow some runs,” he said. “After I got the second out, I thought I could do it. But after I gave up the three runs I was (worried).” International teams have won the last three and four of the last five titles. Brandon Green went 5 2-3 innings for Chicago, which had survived four straight knockout games before the final. After the final out, a force play, the Seoul team’s bench emptied and the players dumped cups of water on their teammates near the mound. The players took a victory lap, waving and laughing. The win meant a lot to the people of South Korea, who had to watch it or get updates in the middle of the night.

VOLLEYBALL
Freshman Tiger standout tries to avoid sophomore slump BY Mike gegenheimer mgegenheimer@lsureveille.com Ever since Briana Holman first stepped onto LSU’s campus, she’s been put on a pedestal. The Tigers’ standout middle blocker came to Baton Rouge on nearly every “top recruits” list in collegiate volleyball. She was 2012 All-Texas Team in high school, and before she ever played a point at LSU, coach Fran Flory said “she will become one of the greatest here.” That was only the beginning. In her first season at LSU, the DeSoto, Texas, native became the only freshman in program history to earn Associated Volleyball Coaches Association’s All-American team honorable mention, AVCA South Regional Freshman of the Year and AVCA All-South Region honors. She was also the third Tiger to hold spots on both the AllSoutheastern Conference and All-SEC Freshman teams in the same season. Now, the air is beginning to thin up on the pedestal. “At first it was kind of messing with my head, because everyone has me on this kind of pedestal based on the season I had last year,” Holman said. “I feel like I not only have to meet what I did last year, but exceed it.”

Young defenders will be key to success in 2014 BY morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com As the LSU soccer team begins its 2014 campaign, a question mark lingers over its young, talented defenders and their ability to unite. Three defenders will return from last year’s squad, including second-team All-Southeastern Conference sophomore Megan Lee. The addition of freshmen Jordane Carvery, Ella Williams, and Alexis Urch fills a need for the Tigers, adding depth along the back line. LSU coach Brian Lee said a focus in this year’s recruiting class was finding tall, physical defenders with top talent in the air. The Tigers struggled defensively in recent years against some of the elite SEC opponents, like 2013 SEC Tournament champion Texas A&M, whose style is more of an aerial attack. LSU is 0-2 against the Aggies in the last two seasons. The addition of Carvery, who is 5-foot-11, will provide the height and dominant center back in the air the Tigers have been missing.
However, Carvery has not had much time to gel with the team after returning from representing Canada in the U-20 Women’s World Cup last week. In addition to Carvery, freshman keeper Lily Alfeld played for the U-20 New Zealand National Team and also arrived in Baton Rouge last week. Alfeld is taking over the starting role as goalie and replacing keeper Megan Kinneman, who started all four years of her career and holds the school record with 284 saves. Veteran players, like senior midfielder Alex Arlitt, will ease the transition for these young players. “I know how much pressure they are under, how nervous they are, so I’m trying to help them,” Arlitt said. “I have played back there, so if I see something I say, ‘Look, step out here,’ or whatever it may be. But, at the same time, if they make a mistake, just encourage them and let them know for next time.” The defensive line stood up to its first test in LSU’s season-opening, 2-0 win against Troy on Aug. 22, effectively

When it
did break down, Lily bailed us out. I thought she had a fantastic debut in goal to help when that happens.” The back line’s development throughout the first half of the season will determine how well the Tigers compete as they face a daunting SEC schedule.

zone once again to give LSU a 30-17 lead it would not relinquish. “I was just happy that I finally got a chance to contribute to the team,” Magee said. “It was a good feeling, but at the same time, I still had some work to do after the TCU game.” And work he did. As running back Jeremy Hill returned from suspension, Magee could have easily faded away, but he continued to make improvements, and it paid off both for him and the Tigers as he reemerged with big performances in LSU’s last two Southeastern Conference games of the season. On a rainy day against Texas A&M, he single-handedly put together a five-play, 71yard drive for the fi rst touchdown of the game. He would fi nish the day with 149 yards on 13 attempts for an average of 11.5 yards per carry. A week later, he allowed LSU’s passing game to warm up as he posted a 29-yard touchdown run on LSU’s fi rst drive of the game and another from 23 yards out on its second. Magee would fi nish the season with 626 yards, eight touchdowns and a team-leading 7.28 yards per carry. A typical running back would be happy with these numbers, especially considering the only running back to outperform him last season
after only a few days of practice with the team. Before that, she lead the U-20 New Zealand National team to a quarter-finals showing in the U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada this summer. Alfeld’s three saves protect-

beginning Thursday. I’m unsure how well-received live broadcasts of volleyball and soccer will be, but numbers are going to soar in the spring when the network begins showing baseball. College baseball isn’t loved nationally enough to be shown on ESPN all the time, but most SEC schools adore it. The next best thing in the network’s arsenal is a show made for this generation of television. If shows like “Bachelor Pad,” “The Real Housewives” and “First Take” taught us anything, it’s that lunacy sells, and “The Paul Finebaum Show” majors in the bizarre. Finebaum takes in calls from SEC fans, usually from Alabama, and lets them proclaim why their schools are the best and why the SEC stands alone in greatness. Finebaum serves as moderator, letting the callers rant about their teams being cheated on Saturday. It isn’t the most intelligent programming, but it’s a great show to attract more viewers. The show can be used to lure people into watching higher value productions such as the “SEC

The big problem I have with the network so far is the studio shows, a device that is essential for any news channel’s success. So far, the program seems all over the place, bringing in a new analyst every time and lacking a set formula. In the next few months, ESPN needs to figure out which talking heads work and make the first round of cuts. Then, once they’ve found the best personalities, the networks should give them their own 30-minute shows. It’s a formula ESPN used before, giving shows to Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, Dan Le Batard and Keith Olbermann, which have all succeeded. The reason “Pardon the Interruption” has been on the air for more than a decade isn’t because of the debate — it’s because of the personalities. Wherever the network goes, I’m looking forward to its freshman year. Tommy Romanach is a 22-yearold mass communication senior from Dallas, Texas. You can reach him on Twitter @troman_28.

Introducing new leadership and redesign of The Daily Reveille CHROME IS BURNING
Chandler Rome Editor in Chief They told me during my senior year of high school that college was about decisions. Decisions on whether to get up and go to class. Decisions on whether to venture to Tigerland, schedule that tough elective or take that road trip two days before midterms. Most importantly, though, college was a time to decide what direction you wanted the rest of your life to go. Right now, I can say I’ve routinely made the right decisions,
but I can’t fully discern what direction I’d like my life to take. Starting today, I’m in charge of more than 80 talented, diverse and dedicated student media professionals, all of whom are struggling with decisions — some as simple as whether to ask that tough question or shoot that controversial picture, but others vastly more complex. And, to be blunt, it scares the crap out of me. It still hasn’t sunk in that I was hired as editor-in-chief of The Daily Reveille on March 21, though seeing my name at the top of page two this morning made it a bit more real. It’s a daunting task to reach more than 20,000 undergraduate
students and their surrounding community in today’s digitalfirst, “give it to me now” media society. But as with anything I put my mind to, I can promise my staff and I will work our hardest to ensure it’s done. How, you ask? Flip through today’s issue. A discerning eye will notice a redesign of fonts and bylines — all aimed at making our print product more modern and readable for the LSU community. I’d be remiss if I didn’t shower praise upon my co-managing editor Erin Hebert and our two production editors, Ryan Lachney and Jennifer Vance, who put all of that together. If the print copy of the paper
isn’t your prerogative, log on to lsureveille.com, where you’ll notice more changes. In an effort to aggregate all LSU Student Media content, we’ve hired a completely new web team who will maintain the front page of the site with all of the freshest and most talked about student media content. I’d be lying if I said both of these changes were home runs, simply because I don’t know yet. It’s up to you, the readers, to let me know. Tweet me (@Chandler_Rome). Instagram me (@chrome35). Whatever’s best for you. Just let me and my staff know how to better serve you. So, today marks one of about 75 papers I’ll oversee this se-
mester. I have no clue where this road will take you, me or The Daily Reveille. Whether it is a hurricane, a budget crisis or an old-fashioned LSU football controversy, The Daily Reveille will keep you informed and provide a correct, clear and concise report. I hope you’ll make the decision to come along for the journey. Chandler Rome is a 21-yearold mass communication senior from Baton Rouge. You can reach Chandler on Twitter @Chandler_Rome.
Sulking isn’t the only way to deal with friends overseas NO WAY JOSE JOSE BASTIDAS Columnist It usually happens during the third year of a college student’s life. Often described as “one of the most rewarding experiences of one’s life,” studying abroad is the go-to ritual for twenty-something students to step out of their comfort zones in order to “find themselves.” As I begin my final year at LSU, I face another kind of situation that, while not as commonly discussed in public forums, happens just as often — I’m not studying abroad but most of my friends are. While I’m all about supporting fish-out-of-water experiences for personal growth, I sadly can’t afford to ship myself to Europe and take two classes for half a year. In an effort to put aside the bitterness — and in order for me to avoid hypocrisy when liking their Instagram pictures — I found myself subconsciously creating this list to deal with 50 percent of my closest friends leaving me behind. Saying Goodbye While some people would choose to share in the joy of their friends’ upcoming international adventures, others might choose a passive-aggressive approach to prepare for the
inevitable separation. Dropping subtle hints on the struggles of living in a foreign country or picking fights with close friends might make saying goodbye easier but I wouldn’t recommend it. Raining on your friend’s parade will not make you feel better or less jealous, it’ll only ruin your friendship. Spending as much time as you can with them before they leave, and, in my case, inviting yourself to spend two days locked in their house binge-watching a crappy TV show and bonding is the best way to properly send them off.
Find something to do Your first day back on LSU’s campus will be bizarre. Walking in the Union, I crossed paths with someone that, from behind, looked exactly like one of my friends who is studying abroad. As I prevented my instinctive reaction to yell her name, it finally hit me the person I was going to call won’t be here all year, and I might as well get over it. Obviously, this is easier said than done, so the realistic thing to do is to get busy. Fill your schedule with activities to keep your whining and sulking time to a minimum. Yes, you have a right to sulk and whine because you don’t get to go to Europe, but you might as well do something productive. Get jobs or internships to put on your resumé. Make some nice pottery in a leisure class at the Union so you can smash it later to relieve stress or volunteer for a good cause around Baton Rouge.

ANNE LIPSCOMB / The Daily Reveille
There are a number of necessary steps to be taken to cope with your friends studying abroad, like spending time with them before they leave and find activities to occupy yourself in their absence. Time makes any instance of change become normal and distraction makes time go by faster. Lean on the friends that are still here and make new ones If you’re a pessimist, your first instinct will be to focus on the fact that your friends left you. Just remember while some of your friends are off doing their thing thousands of miles away, there are others who have also been left behind. After you spend some time theorizing about what will hap-
pen to your friends while they study abroad, start planning ways you’re going to make this year at LSU the best one yet. It’s fair game to show off all the fun you’re having in school and in America since your friends will most likely do the same from whatever country they’ve chosen. Be happy for them and yourself No matter where we are during our third year of college, we will inevitably “find ourselves.” Don’t waste your time feeling

Smoking is a necessary crutch for college students THE AMAZING CYNIC Ryan Monk Columnist We’ve all heard why there should or shouldn’t be a campuswide tobacco ban. Both sides have made plenty of good points, but unless someone is almost done creating a time machine, I don’t think there’s much to come of resurrecting that debate. Wasn’t there something else I was supposed to say? Oh, yeah. Welcome back to school! Now, let’s form two straight lines. The non-smokers will go straight to class. As for us smokers, we’ll funnel into a room labeled “Tough Luck, Suckers.” What’s in that room, you ask?
Assuming all of us obey the tobacco ban, it’s basically a large, empty room with hardwood floors and four walls covered in posters depicting all the different places and times we used to love smoking on campus. For instance, behind the Student Union after a disappointing, overpriced meal; outside of Nicholson Hall after that impossible physics test and in front of Middleton Library after being up all night writing that paper. No longer, students. We’re cut off. We’ve been deemed too irresponsible to decide whether or not to put legal smoke in our lungs. Yep, even you, life science majors. Thinking back, I should have gotten a necklace that spelled out, in large silver letters, “Yes, I know it’s bad for me.”
We know it’s bad for us. But, do you know how powerful of a crutch it can be for some of us, especially in college? Going to college is kind of like spending four, or however many, years walking through a wet, pitch-black cave. Trust me, that’s a scary adventure, and it really helps to be able to light up the surroundings every once in a while. For us smokers, cigarettes do just that. You can sit down and rest your legs and twist your neck into configurations that might allow you to finally see the light at the end of the cave. I know, I digress, but the point is cigarettes can be incredibly important to the typically stressed college student. If I could count the times I’ve
been on the verge of giving up on studying, smoked a cigarette and suddenly caught a second wind, I’d probably count for so long that I’d get overwhelmed and have to step outside to smoke — you get what I mean. You might say, “Why don’t you just walk to the edge of campus to smoke, you jerk?” First of all, manners. Second of all, that might sound like a good idea until you’ve just failed two quizzes in the same class that you wished you dropped ever since the deadline, and you have five minutes to get to your next class, after the five minutes you wasted pushing through a crowd of your peers to get out the door. Are you going to sprint to the Varsity Theatre, getting hit by at least three bicyclists on the way,
take two drags of a cigarette, put it out and then make a marathon dash to your test? Not if you’re me; that’s way too much running for a smoker. We don’t want you to hate us. We don’t want to give you lung cancer. We just want a few minutes outside to collect ourselves before getting back to work. If you want to see us as offensive, ignorant subhumans, that’s fine. Just recognize how uncool this whole thing is for us. I’m unofficially declaring today Hug a Smoker Day. Just make sure you do so off campus.

LOUIE’S, from page 1 Wendy’s building on Lake Street in spring 2014. The move was originally set for August, but was reset to early October, though no specific date has been confirmed. Wetherford said the move has been delayed because of construction projects and permit delays. “The move is coming along great,” Wetherford said. “If I had to guess, I would say it is about 75 percent complete.” Relocation means a wider availability of parking and seating options. Parking is now available for current Louie’s customers at the new Lake Street location. Communication studies sophomore Julia McConnell has been both a loyal customer and employee of the diner. An employee since February, she said she is excited about the upcoming move despite fears that the diner will lose its family atmosphere because of the new, bigger space. But McConnell said she is reassured by the amount of big business
page 19 Louie’s expects in the near future. McConnell said her time as customer affected her decision to become an employee. “I was a customer here way before I worked here,” she said. “[Other customers] were like, ‘Don’t you work here?’ And I was like, ‘I do now.’” Iconic elements of Louie’s, like the red bar stools, will remain the same alongside new improvements, such as an extra kitchen in the rear of the restaurant as well as the traditional front kitchen. Relocation means new additions and marketing. The biggest addition to the new location is the drive-thru window to retrieve pick-up orders. Customers can call ahead and drive up to the window to get their Louie’s favorites. The food and atmosphere have kept loyal customers returning to Louie’s. A four-year customer, kinesiology sophomore Mary Lively could not decide between the French toast and chicken-fried steak dinner as her favorite. Lively said the move is a

Aside from improvements to seating and parking, “Louie’s is perfect the way it is,” she said. Recalling late nights studying for exams, she has placed roots in its current location, but understands the need for a change.
