RED, BLACK and BLUE Edwards secures runoff spot with 40 percent of votes

BY SAM KARLIN @samkarlin_TDR While Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards made the runoff early Saturday night, he did not address the crowd at the Lyceum Ballroom in downtown Baton Rouge until he knew who he would

be facing.

Once Edwards found out U.S. Sen. David Vitter would be his opponent, he initiated his monthlong battle with the senator, which will play out ahead of the Nov. 21 runoff election.

“David Vitter is gonna try to put the focus on the president and

Vitter limps into runoff against dominant Edwards

BY CAITIE BURKES @caitie1221 KENNER, La. — Though he expects more public backlash in his next month of campaigning, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said popularity isn’t his top priority for the Nov. 21 runoff.

“I’m not going back to Baton Rouge to be popular,” Vitter said.

“I’m going to make a difference.”

A checkered past and recent scandals didn’t stop Vitter on Saturday when he slid to the gubernatorial runoff election against Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards, narrowly claiming

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

New budget increases student fees

The LSU Board of Supervisors approved student fee increases for next year’s operating budget.

The new budget includes student fee hikes ranging from about 1 to 3 percent to fund additional student academic and mental health services and security measures, which board members highlighted to prepare LSU for possible school shootings.

LSU President F. King Alexander said students should not have to wait in line for mental health services and highlighted a spate of recent campus shootings, including the Oct. 22 shooting at Tennessee State University that left one student dead. He also mentioned the recent arrest of an LSU student on terrorizing charges Oct. 13 after talking about a potential school shooting while on top of the Union Square Parking Garage.

Alexander said the school implemented more active shooter

“If he believes that those are our biggest problems in Louisiana, then he needs to stay in Washington. By the way, I intend to make sure that happens.”

Whoever is elected governor will step into office with a mountain of fiscal problems, including a budget shortfall nearing last year’s $1.6 billion deficit.

Edwards said the issues facing Louisiana, like consistent and deep higher education cuts stemming from fiscal irresponsibility, are the direct result of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s failed policies and has said all his opponents in the primary election represent Jindal’s third term — calling Vitter “Jindal on steroids.”

Edwards easily qualified for Louisiana’s gubernatorial runoff with roughly 40 percent of the vote. As the results poured in, the mob of partygoers, not unlike the soaking fans in Tiger Stadium, roared in support as Edwards delivered his impassioned remarks.

With a grin on his face, Edwards hugged family members and thanked supporters before recognizing fellow candidates Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle and Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne — two Republicans who Edwards said he developed a “true affection” for. He said

his campaign has room for their voters.

Edwards wasted little time on pleasantries before turning against Vitter, the subject of two recent scandals involving spying and prostitution allegations.

“I live by the honor code: A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do,” Edwards said. “And David Vitter wouldn’t last five minutes at West Point.”

Edwards challenged Vitter to “show up,” citing his lack of participation at recent debates and said his opponent hid behind millions of dollars from super PACs funded by out-of-state special interest groups.

While Edwards expected to earn a spot in the runoff, Republican votes were largely split among the three major Republican candidates.

To rally conservative voters, he assured the crowd he would work across party lines if elected — something he said Vitter is unwilling to do. Edwards added that his policy on Medicaid is similar to that of his Republican primary opponents.

Edwards also championed policies such as equal pay for women and an increased minimum wage.

He touched on many of the same policy points from his campaign, like halting tuition increases and expanding Medicaid, continuing to tout his priorities for the state.

The audience responds to Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards’ remarks during his election night watch party in the Lyceum Ballroom in downtown Baton Rouge on Saturday.

“I will always tell you the truth, and I will always fight to put Louisiana first,” Edwards said.

Evan Alvarez, 23, said Republicans like Vitter who run on a platform of family values they fail to live up to are a big reason why he resigned his chair on the Mississippi Federation of College Republicans and switched parties.

Alvarez said he left the Republican Party — and gained national attention for doing so — as a student at Mississippi State University because he no longer agreed

with the party platform. He said he likes Edwards because the Democratic Party does not come before policy.

He also said he supports Edwards because he is a veteran and promotes family values, while Vitter’s scandals continue to prove the GOP’s hypocrisy.

“I think it goes to show the hypocritical side of that family value campaign, and at the end of the day, people are gonna go for the real family man, and that’s John Bel Edwards,” Alvarez said.

second place over Republican Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle.

Following allegations of espionage less than 24 hours before polls opened, Vitter clung to his name recognition and substantial financial backing for the Oct. 24 election.

The New Orleans Advocate reported Friday evening that Vitter allegedly hired a private investigator to spy on Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand.

In his speech to election party guests at the Hilton New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner, Louisiana, Vitter thanked Republican challengers Scott Angelle and Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne for their “competitive spirit,” but had a different attitude toward his runoff contender.

“Voting for Edwards would be the same as voting for Barack Obama,” he said.

Vitter claimed 23 percent of the vote, trailing behind Edwards’ 40 percent. The senator’s presence was strongest in red parishes like St. Tammany and Jefferson.

He said he would cater to his conservative constituents by cutting back on state-funded cars, which cost the state $232 million.

He added that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration failed holding to Republican values.

“Your conservative Louisiana principles haven’t failed us — politicians have,” Vitter said to a crowd of roughly 100 supporters.

Despite recent negative press, including videos on a New Orleans blog alleging Vitter fathered an illegitimate child with a prostitute, his staff remains optimistic about his odds in the runoff.

Vitter campaign spokesperson Luke Bolar said the story was

drills but that additional measures, such as bulletproof film on windows, may be necessary.

Students will pay higher fees, which Vice President for Finance and Administration Daniel Layzell introduced as 1 to 2.6 percent hikes, in the spring, LSU Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard said in a text message.

LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans was the target of recent drive-by shootings, Chancellor Larry Hollier said.

Because the Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center sits next to the interstate, he said people shoot at the building from their cars, shattering the unreliable bulletproof glass and posing a risk to those inside. He said he will look into bulletproof film for more protection.

“We’ve got evil, sick people out there,” Board member Scott Ballard said.

Ballard highlighted mental health and more training for law enforcement as methods to combat the issue. As state legislators look for areas to cut when balancing the budget, he said they should spare mental health and law enforcement.

The Board also approved LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva’s oneyear contract extension, which did not include a salary change.

The Board members touted the strength of the athletic program. The program contributed about $10 million to academic programs in the past year.

Two weeks ago, Athletic Committee Chairman Blake Chatelain said he was reminded of that strength when LSU hosted the University of South Carolina just a few days after flooding devastated the state’s capital of Columbia

and surrounding areas.

“It was just a class act, and it just spoke volumes about the type of university we have here at LSU,” Board member Rolfe McCollister.

Chatelain said the athletic department and LSU community set a great example in college athletics and gave support to the department’s contributions to academics and facilities at the school.

“It’s a reminder of how a strong athletic program can enhance both the athletic and student experience and the academic side of LSU,” Chatelain said.

LSU’s 2016-17 operating budget, introduced to the board by Layzell, is still being finalized before being put forth to the Board of Regents but will include increased funding for higher education systems, he said.

The board utilized its newfound fee autonomy power, acquired through Act 377 of the past legislative session, by implementing “modest” fee increases, Alexander said.

“This is well below what the bill authorized us to do,” he added.

Layzell said the fees are required by law to be funneled back into student services, such as tutoring and additional instructors, as well as security, safety and mental health services.

The day before the statewide elections, Alexander said the school will work to put a polling station in the Student Union for the next election cycle.

He said all four major primary candidates said higher education is a priority, but he will wait to see where that goes, as there are “tough decisions to be made.”

“There is a degree of sympathy to what has happened to higher education in this state,” Alexander said.

U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., stands on the stage after giving a speech Saturday after making the gubernatorial runoff. “blown out of proportion,” and Vitter is still the most qualified candidate for the governor’s office.

“He is far and away the best leader of all the candidates,” Bolar said. “Not just because he has a whole detailed plan but because of his accomplishments previously in the statehouse.”

Political science sophomore Michael Dalman and biology sophomore Alix Perry both worked with the campaign for the past two months. Dalman said morale had been overwhelmingly positive, with an upbeat work environment.

Dalman said last night’s breaking allegations did not have any affect on the overall spirit of Vitter’s campaign, and he does not think it will cripple the senator’s chances.

Perry added Vitter’s campaign did not personally hire the private investigator.

“Nothing illegal was done, so I don’t think it’ll be as big a deal as we might have anticipated,” Dalman said.

Tigers’ undefeated record all that matters INTO THE WOODS JACK WOODS Columnist

JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille

LSU sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris (6) drops back to pass Saturday during the Tigers’ 48-20 victory against Western Kentucky University at Tiger Stadium. Harris completed 11-of-20 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns.

A SHOT IN THE ARM Running game takes backseat as Harris, passing game shine in 48-20 win

BY MARC STEVENS @Marc_TDR

Saturday’s contest between then-No. 5 LSU and Western Kentucky University featured one of the best individual players in the country, one of the nation’s top scoring offenses and a heavy downpour prior to kickoff, flooding the sidelines.

But it was LSU sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris and the Tigers’ (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) passing game that stole the show.

Harris threw for multiple career highs with 286 yards and three touchdowns during the Tigers’ 48-20 win against WKU. Throughout most of the first half, rain fell into Tiger Stadium like waves hitting a beach, resulting in poor play early on both sides.

Harris was 4-of-9 in the

Western Kentucky University gave LSU a fight for two and a half quarters, but in the end, the Tigers were just too strong.

The Tigers’ play wasn’t always pretty, as you might expect on a field that resembled a pig pen by the fourth quarter. Add it to the list of games where LSU could have played at a higher level this season.

But on Saturday night, LSU weathered the storm — pun completely intended — and found a way to get the job done, convincingly in the end. And every other game this season, the Tigers figured out how to overcome obstacles and get the win.

LSU is undefeated heading into the bye week and will have zero losses next to its name before its Nov. 7 showdown against the University of Alabama.

That’s the only stat that matters right now.

The special teams miscues and blown coverages could have haunted the Tigers, but they haven’t. LSU must work to address its issues, but more than anything, the Tigers need to keep finding ways to win.

If the Tigers allowed a special teams touchdown every game for the remainder of the season but still managed to win out, I doubt

FOOTBALL

Defense limits WKU quarterback despite injuries, various miscues Holds Doughty to 325 yards, second lowest in 2015

BY HEATHER ALLEN @Hallen_TDR In Saturday’s matchup with Western Kentucky University, the then-No. 5 LSU football team knew stopping WKU quarterback and graduate student Brandon Doughty would be key in earning a win against the Hilltoppers (6-2, 4-0 Conference USA).

However, the Tigers’ defense started the game at a disadvantage as junior defensive tackle Christian LaCouture and junior cornerback Tre’Davious White didn’t dress out, and senior safety Jalen Mills was pulled in the

second quarter.

But LSU didn’t feel the ill effects early, shutting out WKU in the first quarter and recording the only LSU sack of the game on WKU’s second offensive drive.

However, Doughty came out in the second quarter a new man, driving 62 yards for the Hilltoppers’ first touchdown of the night.

The Tigers surrendered two more touchdowns, one late in the third quarter and the other early in the fourth. But sophomore safety Jamal Adams and junior linebacker Kendell Beckwith each recorded a forced fumble, and Adams also had an interception, Doughty’s fifth of the year.

“Early on, the defense played really well,” LSU coach Les

Miles said. “We made some mistakes in coverage in the back end that cost us some big plays. Our front against the rush and pass, defensively, is solid. I like our linebackers. I think when we get the secondary back, we’ll be a very good defense.”

Beckwith said although the Hilltoppers had a good offensive scheme, LSU defended them well for the most part.

He said Doughty’s 325 yards and three touchdowns were the result of busted coverage and the lack of communication within the defense.

“We hold ourselves to a higher standard,” Beckwith said.

“We gave up too many yards.

Weed still has risks, despite pushes for legalization

Don’t Believe the Hype

SIMPLY READ KAIN HINGLE Columnist On Nov. 3, Ohio citizens will vote on the legalizing recreational marijuana.

Marijuana is becoming more integrated into American culture. According to a USA Today poll, the majority of Americans support the legalization of pot, compared to only 12 percent in 1969.

Marijuana’s increased acceptance in other states does not translate to acceptance in our state. Louisiana’s incredibly conservative policies ensure we will be among the last to legalize pot and strict repercussions regarding possession will continue.

Getting caught with less than 14 grams of pot for first time offenders can lead to 15 days imprisonment and a $300 fine. Offenders may be required to attend drug rehab and put on probation.

Somebody smoking from their pipe may be tried with multiple misdemeanors or even felonies. For example, an offender could be tried for possession of paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. Both have separate penalties, and both mar your criminal record.

JOHN MINCHILLO / The Associated Press

Buddie, the mascot for a pro-marijuana legalization group, advocates on a college campus in Ohio prior to a vote last week.

Future employers may have access to your criminal records through a background check, so mistakes made now could affect your life decisions many years down the line.

As ludicrous as these laws seem compared to more progressive states, they’re still laws and can seriously affect your future.

Laws are laws, and they should be followed.

A study published by The Lancet Psychiatry journal showed

no significant increase in adolescent marijuana usage in 21 states where medicinal marijuana was legalized.

Kids will continue to act on their own accord regardless of whatever pesky rules are put in place.

Marijuana’s increased acceptance in other states promotes the idea pot really isn’t dangerous and teens just need to play the waiting game. After all, why are our country’s laws so

hypocritical? When recreational pot use is legal in Washington and Oregon, it undermines Idaho’s prohibition.

Marijuana is illegal for valid reasons, and we can’t disregard this because of the hypocrisy of varying state laws.

Contrary to popular belief, cannabis contains an incredible amount of carcinogens. Whether cannabis is more carcinogenic than tobacco is highly disputed, but inhaling smoke of any kind

is unhealthy. Both tobacco and cannabis smoke contain sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide.

One argument is tobacco and alcohol are just as detrimental, if not more so, than cannabis. This does not make smoking marijuana any less illegal. We can’t continue to use tobacco and alcohol’s health repercussions as an excuse to legalize pot.

Weed is widely accessible to college students, and people will continue to break the law by smoking marijuana as easily as they break it with underage drinking. It is a common problem with no real solution.

Cops could crack down on punishments for possession, but this would seem out of place in a time where new states are legalizing recreational usage all the time.

The solution comes down to the individual. Marijuana is a drug for a reason, just like tobacco and alcohol. People should not justify their smoking by inconsistencies with differing state laws. People should smoke only if they are willing to face the legal consequences.

Blazing up puts smokers at risk of legal reprimand just like many other fun college activities.

Pot’s increased popularity doesn’t make the legal consequences any less severe, so stay smart when you take part in nefarious activities.

Middleton Library should offer student napping space REAL SOLUTIONS TO REAL ISSUES GARRETT MARCEL Columnist LSU needs one major improvement to campus, a napping center with a BYOB rule: Bring your own blankets.

LSU students need a place where during the day we can sleep during our free time. Students already sleep on benches, hammocks and even the grass. Why not give everyone a more comfortable option?

This is a great addition because not everyone has the option to go home during their breaks,

especially those living off campus.

By strategically assigning a building for napping, there can be a location where all students can enjoy a midday nap.

The best place to have this service is in Middleton Library.

People already use the basement floor for sleeping and few people venture down there. Why not use the most of a quiet secluded area?

The napping area could have individual cubicles with beds where students can swipe to gain access.

One of the many desk assistants LSU has can monitor the area and sign students in and out.

The center should only have small one person beds to make this program cost efficient.

Students should bring their own blankets and pillows if they would like to sleep comfortably, because it would be gross to share.

Placing the location in the library will benefit students who want to stay on campus or meet up with others to study. Students may be more motivated do their work on campus or in the library if they can get some rest between studying and classes.

It’s unfortunate we would take out all of the government documents on the bottom floor. Everyone knows it is such a popular section of literary works, but we must all make sacrifices for improvement.

The documents on the bottom floor could be moved to another

floor or put into storage with digital access available. If anyone requests a hardcopy of any documents, the library can fetch it for them.

If LSU isn’t willing to give up the library basement, one of the many buildings on the south side of campus can be renovated and refitted. There are plenty of run-down buildings, and – with funding ­­ – they would be a perfect place to nap within walking distance of the quad.

The university could make quite a profit by placing vending machines filled with Benadryl, melatonin or other sleep aids.

Snack and drink sales would likely increase at the Community Coffee if placed in the library.

page 7 LSU sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre (15) celebrates with junior wide receiver Travin Dural (83) Saturday at Tiger Stadium.

HARRIS, from page 3 first half, including three drops that slipped through the receivers’ hands. Even Heisman Trophy candidate sophomore running back Leonard Fournette was held in check as WKU’s defense contained him to 86 yards in the first half for 5.4 yards per rush.

LSU junior defensive end Lewis Neal said the weather affected his ability to pressure WKU quarterback and graduate student Brandon Doughty.

“It was frustrating,” Neal said of the weather. “I would beat my man, but when I would turn, I would slide. But that’s just football. You’ve got to get up and keep going.”

Although the Tigers’ defense would have liked to get more pressure, it stifled the WKU offense in the first half. Doughty completed 74 percent of his firsthalf passes for 128 yards but put just seven points on the board.

When the second half started, the rainfall mostly dissipated.

LSU’s playcalling still favored the run, but when passes were called, Harris and the receiving corps rose to the occasion.

Doughty was not going away quietly. On the Hilltoppers’ first drive of the second half, he went 4-of-4, including a 39-yard touchdown strike to senior wide receiver Antwane Grant, which brought WKU within four points of the Tigers, 17-13, after a failed extra point.

Then, Harris took over.

The Bossier City, Louisiana, native completed 6-of-10 passes for 133 yards and a 61-yard touchdown to freshman wide

DEFENSE, from page 3 Coverage probably could’ve been a little tighter in some areas. We have to eliminate those communication errors, and we’ll be fine.”

The Tigers’ blitzing schemes helped contain the WKU offense to less than half its season average, though LSU recorded one sack on the night.

“Me and [senior linebacker] Deion [Jones] compete,” Beckwith said. “He got a sack tonight.

We compete, we try to get to the ball when we have a blitz. We take pride in our blitzes. We tried to get there as fast as we could, really try to make them work.

The blitz is a benefit.”

Freshman defensive back Donte Jackson was sent on a corner blitz in the third quarter, strip-sacking Doughty and picking up the fumble for a 47-yard touchdown. However, the play was called back for a holding penalty on sophomore cornerback Ed Paris in the secondary.

“It was holding, one of our corners held,” Miles said. “What happens is if you blitz and there’s no place to go with the ball, if the corner is holding a receiver, that’s a really good call.”

The LSU defense held WKU to 103 rushing yards, allowed 5-of-15 third down conversions and forced three turnovers on downs.

LSU sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre scores a touchdown Saturday during the Tigers’ 48-20 victory against Western Kentucky University at Tiger Stadium. receiver Tyron Johnson. The Tigers outscored WKU, 20-7, in the third quarter, giving them a 34-13 advantage by the end of the period.

“Each game, we keep getting better and better,” said sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre. “Confidence is growing.

In a game like this, where the weather wasn’t optimal, we still performed.”

Junior center Ethan Pocic said the ability of the passing game was always there, but now it’s all coming together. He said when defenses stack the box to stop Fournette, Harris can throw a dart to a receiver in one-on-one coverage.

“They’re grooving more,” Pocic said of the passing game.

“We’ve had the talent. We’re just all getting on the same page.

When they load up the box, we’ve got to throw it.”

Dupre said the game was critical for Harris and gives the team momentum heading into the meat of its schedule, spearheaded by the Tigers’ matchup against the University of Alabama on Nov. 7 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

He said LSU’s balanced attack Saturday night was exactly what the team wanted to achieve.

“We’re going to be facing a great defense in Alabama,” Dupre said. “Giving the ball to Leonard [Fournette] is a great thing. He makes plays a lot of times when there’s not a play to be made, but going into a game like that, you have to have balance. Without that, it’ll be very hard to beat a team like that.”

Neal said he thinks the Tigers did a decent job containing Doughty, whose 325-yard effort was his second-lowest passing total of the season.

“I feel like we affected him

a little bit, made him make bad decisions,” Neal said. “We can always do better, we can’t be satisfied. But we affected him enough to make those bad decisions. He’s a great quarterback.”

any fan would care. That’s because it’s LSU’s job to win, first and foremost.

With talented opponents left on the schedule, the Tigers are going to face periods of games where their backs are against the wall. Heck, I can just about guarantee LSU will have another miscue — or four.

The Tigers can keep drawing from, no matter the circumstance, is their ability to do whatever it takes to win the game.

Sometimes, LSU has needed sophomore running back Leonard Fournette to pick up the entire team and put each and every one of the Tigers on his back.

Likewise, there were games where LSU called on sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris to sling the ball around to get a win.

LSU had to rely on its defense down the stretch for a few games.

The Tigers were even forced to rely on their timeouts to ice the opposing kicker.

But they seem aware that good teams don’t have to fit a mold.

Good teams aren’t required to score 50 points a game. They don’t have to hold opposing offenses to “x” amount of yards.

Good teams figure out how to win based on the circumstances.

LSU, like every other team in college football, has its flaws. But unlike many other teams, LSU has won every game so far, in spite of its shortcomings.

The Tigers are a perfect 7-0, and those are the only numbers fans need to know.
