FACES Lab recreates faces of the dead, ID’d Shunick Staff Writer

Buried in a fold of the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex is a tiny building alive with faces of the dead.

The LSU FACES — Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services — Laboratory is not only filled with desks for its seven employees but hundreds of pictures

and molds of recreated faces of missing and unidentified persons.

“We work with law enforcement throughout the state and nation to identify the dead,” said Lab Director Mary Manhein, summing up the lab’s duties.

Less than a year ago, then-unemployed Cathy Bryant never imagined that she would be the owner of a company producing one of the “hottest” new snacks in Louisiana.

The 55-year-old blue-eyed, curly-haired Southern belle is the owner of Louisiana Swamp House, the producer of Swamp Seeds — a spicy Cajun concoction that spawned from Bryant’s kitchen.

“We drink cajun boil for breakfast in Louisiana, and the state is known for its wonderful Cajun food around the world,” Bryant said.

“This is a Louisiana product and Baton Rouge-based company. We wanted it to be all about Cajun and Louisiana.”

After working in the construction business for 30 years, Bryant’s hips were shot, calling for a

Roemer speaks at University, grim on Nov. election Former governor chides both parties Joshua Bergeron Staff Writer

Former presidential candidate and former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer predicted a November election that will bring no change to America to a fullcapacity crowd in the Manship School of Mass Communication’s Holliday Forum on Tuesday.

Roemer spoke about the

failing economy as well as corruption in President Barack Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s campaigns, relating the country’s current state to someone treading water.

“The nation is in trouble,” Roemer said. “Eight million Americans have quit looking for jobs and are no longer counted in the unemployment rate. Many people have to take part-time jobs because they cannot find anything else.”

He placed a large amount of the blame for the current economic state on the Obama administration.

“Obama came in promising change. But, we are in a great recession,” Roemer said.

His optimism for the future was limited, saying there is no end in sight. The debt will shrink the nation, Roemer said.

He used Napoleon’s decision to sell the Louisiana territories as an example.

“After finishing three wars, Napoleon was in a lot of debt,” he said. “After the sale, France disappeared from the new world.”

INTERNATIONAL Egyptian protesters in Cairo scale US Embassy walls in anger over video CAIRO (AP) — Mainly ultraconservative Islamist protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Egypt’s capital Tuesday and brought down the American flag, replacing it with a black flag with an Islamic inscription to protest a video attacking Islam’s prophet, Muhammad.

Hundreds of protesters marched to the embassy in downtown Cairo, gathering outside its walls and chanting against the movie, which was reportedly produced in the United States.

Sonar to give best view yet of only US Civil War ship sunk in combat ABOARD THE RESEARCH VESSEL MANTA, Gulf of Mexico (AP) — The world will soon get its first good look at the wreckage of the only U.S. Navy ship sunk in combat in the Gulf of Mexico during the Civil War, thanks to sophisticated 3-D sonar images that divers have been collecting this week in the Gulf’s murky depths.

The USS Hatteras, an ironhulled 210-foot ship that sank about 20 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas, in January 1863, has sat mostly undisturbed and unnoticed since its wreckage was found in the early 1970s.

Chicago teachers strike continues into 2nd day, no decision made yet

Ponchatoula 66-year-old woman wins $740,380 Lotto prize

CHICAGO (AP) — Negotiators were back behind closed doors Tuesday on the second day of Chicago’s teachers strike, but publicly, the teachers union and school board couldn’t even agree on whether they were close to a deal.

The union issued a statement at midday saying negotiators had returned to the bargaining table and were discussing one of the most serious remaining issues, a new teacher evaluation system.

Passengers and businesses target Carnival for Italy cruise crash

Patsy McKnight held the sole winning ticket. Lottery officials said Tuesday she picked up the prize — $518,266 after federal and state taxes were withheld — on Monday at lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge.

McKnight purchased the winning ticket from Riverstop on Highway 22 in Springfield. Riverstop will receive a one-time bonus of $7,403, which is one percent of the prize, for the sale. The winning numbers for the Sept. 8 drawing were 04-13-24-25-28-36.

Katrina floodwall failure case heads to New Orleans for second trial

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Despite legal obstacles that might force them to sue in Italy, hundreds of Costa Concordia passengers and up to 1,000 businesses on the island where the capsized cruise ship ran aground are pressing ahead with U.S. lawsuits, seeking millions of dollars in damages from Miami-based Carnival Corp.

The lawsuits filed in both federal and state courts contend that Carnival is the corporate parent of the Costa brand, which operated the vessel, and is ultimately responsible for any safety violations, negligence or recklessness that may have led to the Jan. 13 accident that claimed 32 lives.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers is back on trial, seven years after Hurricane Katrina’s epic storm surge shredded the flood protection system it had built for New Orleans.

Starting Wednesday, a federal judge will hear testimony on claims that excavation work by the corps and one of its contractors caused the failure of floodwalls meant to protect the city’s Lower 9th Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish.

The company wants to dig deep into beaches and remove oil buried since a BP well blew out on April 20, 2010, leading to the nation’s largest offshore spill.

But digging deep can bring its own problems — it can be harmful to creatures that live on beaches or feed on them and it also may lead to erosion by loosening up sand.

Former Air Force colonel joins University staff Ben Wallace Senior Contributing Writer

After 30 years of service under the steady blue wings of the United States Air Force, Dave Maharrey has landed in Baton Rouge, and he wants this nest to be permanent.

The new associate executive director of Facility and Utility Operations just started working Aug. 1, and he has already successfully weathered what many in the utility field would consider a nightmare — a hurricane.

The retired colonel didn’t sweat it though, noting that Hurricane Isaac allowed the University to save money on energy, since it shut off power where it wasn’t necessary during the University’s three-day closure.

But when hurricanes aren’t blowing through, maintaining the University’s aging infrastructure provides plenty of challenges on a day-to-day basis.

“One of [the] things we’re always looking to do is find ways to reduce our energy consumption,” Maharrey said. “But the main thing is to provide the platform for education to take place.”

He likened the University to a stage, and as long as that stage

stays lit, cooled (or heated) and upright, he’s doing his job.

“I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself.

That’s why I joined the Air Force,” he said. “We’re hopefully helping future folks move in and do great things.”

Having never crossed the Mississippi River as an 18-yearold from London, Ohio, Maharrey took off to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado

“An Air Force base is just like a campus once you take away the runway,” he said, comparing the needs of pilots, maintenance and hospital staffs to the different branches of University staffs.

Tony Lombardo, executive director of Facility Services, also said there are many similarities between managing the facilities of an Air Force base and a university.

“If you look at facility officers across the SEC, at least half, if not 70 percent, are retired military officers,” Lombardo said.

Both Maharrey and his wife, Judy, have enjoyed the transition and hope their five children will finally be able to come visit them, rather than the other way around.

“The longest I’ve ever lived

anywhere [since college] was four years,” Maharrey said.

His wife of 14 years offered one word to describe her husband — “loyal.”

The only times she’s lived without him were during his two deployments to Iraq in 2004 and 2007, where he said the only difference was operating under more focused conditions.

“You just have to adapt and pick up the slack and carry on,” his wife said. “You have to keep going.”

Professor leads Cape Cod research Juliann Allen Contributing Writer

Hundreds of miles away on the shores of Cape Cod, graduate students from various universities study sand dunes while Patrick Hesp, geography and anthropology professor and coastal geomorphologist, heads the research from his office at LSU. Hesp has been leading research on sand dunes, dealing mainly with blowouts. Hesp explained that a blowout forms when wind blows out some of the sand on the surface of a dune, leaving a crater-like shape.

Hesp said he is not yet sure how to prevent the occurrence of blowouts, which can make a dune unstable, but so far he has found that they occur when the climate becomes drier and plants begin to suffer.

“Were it to become drier or windier, even if it were seasonal, we may see more of the blowouts,” Hesp said.

He added that some blowouts can be up to one kilometer long.

Hesp started a photo analysis in 2004 when he took a picture of a patch of sand that was not vegetated, and a blowout had already started to form. When he took another picture of the same spot of land three years later, the blowout was much larger.

“We’ve been stunned by the rate of speed by which things have changed,” Hesp said.

Hesp said the work in Cape Cod can relate to Louisiana, where sand dunes in the barrier islands of the state are a big part of protecting the coast.

Though the sand dune systems in other parts of the world outweigh Louisiana’s sand dune systems in size, hurricanes and climate change still affect the state’s dunes, he said.

“If we found out how [the Cape Cod] system worked, some of that knowledge could be applied to the barrier islands in Louisiana,” Hesp said.

Barry Keim, geography and anthropology professor and state

climatologist, said while the scientific community does not understand the climate system well enough to figure out the cause of global warming, humans should work to clean up the atmosphere and try to lessen their dependency on fossil fuels.

“It’s probably some combination of both, but the fact is we really don’t know how much is natural and how much is anthropogenic,” Keim said.

SLIS looks to add Ph.D. program with renewed status

Chelsea Rennhoff Contributing Writer

The School of Library and Information Science recently received its continued accreditation status from the Committee on Accreditation of the American Library Association at the Association’s annual conference.

“We have been continuously accredited since the master program began. The next review will be spring of 2019,” said Beth Paskoff, director of the School of Library and Information Science.

The University and two other schools received continued accreditation, which lasts for seven years, while two other schools

were granted conditional status requiring another review in three years.

“Despite the budget cuts, the School of Library and Information Science has done well. They have established themselves,” said Laura Lindsay, dean of the College of Human Sciences and Education.

The school only offers a master’s of library and information science, or MLIS, within the University’s first distance learning program, where students take classes at an off-campus site through a computer course.

“It has been possible for the degree to be obtained for 15 years. It is the entry-level degree

AgCenter members seek Grad School jobs

Resolution looks to make process easier Joshua Bergeron Staff Writer

LSU AgCenter faculty members are judged on where their paychecks are coming from and not on their credentials, according to AgCenter Chancellor William Richardson.

Currently, faculty who are only employed by the AgCenter cannot serve as chair of a graduate student committee or teach graduate classes without special “dispensation” from the LSU Graduate Council, according to a resolution presented by Lawrence Datnoff, head of the Department of Plant Pathology and Crop Physiology.

Datnoff said the issue is puzzling because AgCenter faculty share many resources with the University.

“I work on the LSU campus and use a lot of the same facilities,” he said. “A member of another department, who was highly productive, was told she could no longer be an adviser for her students. If you look at the faculty, it isn’t a matter of productivity or worth, it is just a matter of discrimination.”

Graduate School Dean Gary Byerly agreed with Datnoff’s frustration.

“The issues brought up by Professor Datnoff deserve the serious attention of the Graduate School and Graduate Council,” Byerly said. “Many LSU AgCenter faculty are already members of the LSU A&M faculty, that is, they have joint salaried appointments in various departments and colleges across our campus. ... But a significant number of highly qualified AgCenter faculty have no part of their salaried appointment on the LSU

A&M campus.”

Datnoff estimated there are 63 jointly appointed faculty members supervising 76 graduate students.

His Faculty Senate resolution, to be debated Oct. 2, would allow AgCenter members to be full or associate members of the Graduate School.

According to Byerly, nonUniversity faculty appointed to the Graduate School do not have full privileges and responsibilities. Instead, these non-University personnel are labeled “affiliates.” As such, they must receive approval from the department chair, college dean and graduate dean to chair a graduate student advisory committee.

“It is easy to see that this might lead to AgCenter faculty reducing the number of students they support,” Byerly said. “[It] might lead to greater difficulty in recruiting highly qualified graduate students for their research projects.”

In contrast, Graduate School faculty are only reviewed once by the Graduate Council. Afterward, the professor’s department and college must validate his or her credentials.

During the September Faculty Senate meeting, Vice Provost for Academic Programs, Planning and Review T. Gilmour Reeve stressed that the “issue should be left up to the Graduate Council and not the Faculty Senate.”

“It really isn’t the business of the Faculty Senate to deal with the issue,” Reeve said. “It’s also important to consider other institutions and how they will be affected by something like this.

Health Care Services has to go through the same process.”

for archivists, librarians and information managers, and we are the only university in Louisiana who offers this degree,” Paskoff said.

Lindsay said when the school became part of the fused College of Human Sciences and Education, it was given increased publicity for grants and fundraising.

“The school is funded by the state budget but wants to get more grant and fundraising money.

They did not have a PR person — we do that for them now,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay said she hopes the continued accreditation status of the school’s master’s program and the added resources under

the College of Human Sciences and Education will increase the school’s received donations.

SLIS received $306,230 in externally funded research money, or grant money, for the 2011-12 year, much less than the $3,606,670 and $3,409,818 the School of Education and the School of Social Work received, respectively.

“They got a really good bill of health. They are only a master’s degree program but want a Ph.D. program,” Lindsay said.

Paskoff said the University put a moratorium on the school attempting to add a Ph.D. program when the economy was bad, but they lifted the moratorium

this year. The school waited to cement its reorganization under the College of Human Sciences and Education and received its reaccreditation from the American Library Association before attempting the Ph.D. finalization process.

“Getting through the reorganization of the College and reaccreditation is essential to the last sets of doctoral program documents. The reaccreditation is based entirely on academics. Being accredited is essential to making a Ph.D. program,” Paskoff said.

Heisman Trophy winners usually know talent when they see it.

Billy Cannon is the only LSU player to claim the trophy, and he said watching the current incarnation of the Tigers this past year has taken on a familiar feeling.

“The guys these days, it’s a talent level that’s like what we were working with [when I played],” Cannon said. “The players I watched last year and against Washington [last Saturday] — the speed is the separator. It’s why they can play like these machines against the best. They’re faster than I’ve ever seen.”

Cannon’s praise is consistent with the polls.

LSU, which is in the AP top five for the 18th week in a row dating back to last August, hasn’t been this entrenched among the NCAA’s elite since Cannon roamed the Tiger Stadium turf.

From 1958-59, the Tigers spent 17 straight weeks in that rarified air and recorded the most successful two-year run in LSU history.

Those teams were notorious for bludgeoning opponents with a familiar combination to modern LSU fans: a powerful running game and a dominant defense.

Linemen thriving in the trenches Spencer Hutchinson Sports Contributor

Instead of bullets, there are chop blocks and pulling tackles; instead of explosions, there are spin moves and bull rushes; and instead of soldiers, there are offensive and defensive linemen.

It’s known as the trenches, the area of the football field where the biggest men fight a war of inches and yards.

“The games are going to be won up front and it’s always in the trenches,” said LSU senior offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk. “It’s always the big guys, the big uglies that don’t get written about and don’t get talked about a whole lot.”

But the LSU offensive and defensive lines, though combatants in practice, are allies in the fight.

“It’s a weird relationship. I really can’t explain it,” said junior defensive end Sam Montgomery. “It’s like brothers fighting each other to get better.”

Dworaczyk said communication between the Tigers’ offensive and defensive line in practice is part of what makes them dominate opponents on both sides of the line on Saturdays.

And the Tigers have

Veteran Dworaczyk steps into starting lineup Mike Gegenheimer Sports Contributor

When one door closes, another opens.

When LSU’s starting left tackle Chris Faulk went down with an apparent knee injury during a routine practice drill, a slew of questions concerning the future of the Tigers’ front line plagued LSU. The offensive line that was being touted as one of the nation’s best was left with a 6-foot-6, 320-pound hole that led straight to quarterback Zach Mettenberger.

Enter sixth-year senior Josh Dworaczyk.

Dworaczyk gelled with the starters seamlessly in his first career start at left tackle for the Tigers by not allowing a sack against Washington.

But the question remained if this was just a quick fix or a permanent solution for LSU coach Les Miles.

“Josh has been playing left guard his entire career, and we always use him as the backup left tackle,” Miles said. “He’s a guy that’s always taking snaps, and we very comfortably moved him out and moved another guy in… I think he’ll stay there.”

Dworaczyk always knew his opportunity may come at the drop of a hat — or the tear of a tendon — and that he may have to be prepared to play a position other than his normal left guard.

“I knew I was going to get a chance to play,” Dworaczyk said.

“This season, as the sixth guy, I was prepared.”

When the offensive line would

take position tests, the 300-pound Dworaczyk would not only take the test for left guard, but the test for every position along the line, just in case his number was called.

“Coach [Studrawa] and I have always been on the same page about moving me out to a left tackle position if anyone went down,” Dworaczyk said. “It fits my build and body style.”

Within his six years in Baton Rouge, Dworaczyk has seen his fair share of season-ending injuries to offensive linemen.

In 2008, T-Bob Hebert suffered a season-ending knee injury against South Carolina during punt coverage.

In 2010, Will Blackwell didn’t even make it to the second quarter DWORACZYK, see page 10

NFL replacement referees making big mistakes MIC’D UP MICAH BEDARD Sports Columnist

It’s only been one week and I’m already tired of the National Football League’s replacement officials.

I didn’t think the absence of prominent NFL referees Mike Carey and Ed Hochuli flexing their muscles while pointing for a first down would have such a profound impact.

Then I watched the NFL preseason, where the replacement officials looked more out of place than Tim Tebow at a strip club.

It hasn’t gotten any better in the regular season.

The games are slow. Officials aren’t spotting the ball correctly.

Players like Baltimore Ravens’ linebacker Ray Lewis are scaring the new referees to death.

I can’t even count the number of times I saw NFL head

coaches lay into the poor fill-ins on the sideline.

Pandemonium has ensued.

Two blatant replacement referee blunders committed in Week 1 shouldn’t have happened.

During a game between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, lead referee Bruce Hermansen awarded the Seahawks four timeouts instead of their allotted three.

Seattle used its final timeout after wide receiver Doug Baldwin was injured in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. But the officials decided an incomplete pass was the cause of the clock stoppage, awarding an extra timeout to the Seahawks.

The referees were wrong.

The NFL rule states that a team must use a timeout for a player’s injury during the last two minutes of the game, if the clock is stopped or not.

In primetime on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, a replacement referee crew led by Gerald Wright botched an NFL

rule even the game’s announcers Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth scoffed at.

Broncos’ cornerback Tracy Porter took an interception to the house on a play that started with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter. The play ended with 1:58 remaining in the second half, inside of the two-minute warning.

Officials were supposed to allow the Broncos to attempt the two-point conversion before going to break for the two-minute warning.

That’s not what happened.

Instead of giving Denver a chance to extend its lead before the commercial, the referees called the two-minute warning and stopped play before attempting the two-point conversion.

The mistakes, while inexcusable, might not have been gamechanging in Week 1. What if they are in Week 2?

I can’t blame the replacement referees for being out there.

It isn’t their fault that the NFL and the officials’ union

can’t come to an agreement on how much the league’s referees should get paid for 60 minutes of work.

That doesn’t mean they should be on the field in the first place.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has known about this problem for a while and hasn’t made enough of an effort to stop it. According to him, the replacement officials are doing a good job.

“Our officials did a more than adequate job last night, and I think that we’ve proven that we can train them and get them up to NFL standards,” Goodell said Thursday at the Bloomberg Sports Business Summit.

Those comments were a day after the NFL season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. The lead referee for that game was Jim Core.

No big deal.

Core’s just your average eighth grade geography teacher and activities director

from Meridian, Id., calling his first ever NFL game with a national television audience watching his every move.

It’s hard to get respect for replacement referees from players, coaches or commentators when it’s so obvious most of them are completely overwhelmed in their environment.

The question is, how long will it take for them to get up to NFL standards?

A week? Seven weeks?

Never?

I sure don’t want to wait that long to find out.

Tigers use pregame to mentally prepare themselves Spencer Hutchinson Sports Contributer

Each Saturday before LSU home football games, thousands of fans line the sides of Victory Hill as the LSU football team makes its entrance into Tiger Stadium.

Fans cheer, coaches shake hands, and players begin their mental preparation for the game.

But what does that preparation consist of?

Junior defensive lineman Sam Montgomery said his pregame ritual isn’t what most fans would expect of him.

On the field, Montgomery is known as a high-energy, high-intensity player, but before the game he’s a different person.

“I’m relaxing. I’m not hyped or anything. I’m just chill,” Montgomery said. “I have a five-minute highlight video of my life that I play in my head of [adverse] times in my life which inspires me to go out and play.”

Senior offensive linemen Josh Dworaczyk said his pregame routine is similar, though he used to prepare differently.

Dworaczyk said as a defensive lineman in high school he used to get “jacked up” before games, but now he uses a much more focused approach.

“As an offensive lineman now, if you want to be successful, it’s going to be a 10-play or 15-play drive, where you go down there and score,” Dworaczyk said. “So you can’t be burning that much energy in pregame.”

One of the most common sights fans see on Saturdays is players with headphones on, blaring music to drown out the noise.

But that’s not always the case.

Dworaczyk said. “I get to the endzone and say, ‘all right, this is where we’re going to make our goal line run.’”

Dworaczyk said the tradition started a few years ago with former lineman Will Blackwell and now includes junior offensive lineman Josh Williford and tight ends coach Steve Ensminger.

But Montgomery said there’s a proper time to get pumped up for the game, and for Dworaczyk, that

time is in the tunnel before the team takes the field.

“That’s the exciting part where everyone gets hyped up,” Dworaczyk said. “And then we get to the sideline and do our breakdown of ‘tick, tick, tick, boom!’ and that’s our last moment of getting hyped up.”

Lady Tigers finish 18th at season-opening tournament James Moran Sports Contributor

A repeat of the 2011 seasonopening victory at the Cougar Classic was not to be as the Lady Tigers finished 18th out of 24 teams at the Yeamans Hall Club in Charleston, S.C., on Tuesday.

The inexperienced Lady Tigers posted a three-round 38-over score of 902. Last year’s individual tournament winner Austin Ernst is no longer with the program, leaving

only sophomore Madelene Sagstrom and junior Lindsay Gahm from the team that won the tournament last season.

“This is a starting point,” said LSU coach Karen Bahnsen. “Not the starting point we wanted, but I think we can learn from it.”

Sagstrom finished tied for 43rd to be the highest placing individual for the Lady Tigers. She was 1-under par through two rounds after shooting a team-low 3-under 69 in the second round.

But she shot a 6-over 78 in the final round, her day derailed by a triple bogey seven on the par-4 17th hole.

“I know she is disappointed and frustrated with today’s round, but I saw a lot of good things from her this weekend,” Bahnsen said. “She is going to be fine going forward.”

In her first tournament at LSU, freshman Nadine Dreher contributed to LSU’s scoring effort with rounds of 78, 74 and 78 to finish the tournament in a tie for 91st with

of the first game of the season before he broke his leg.

Last season, Dworaczyk himself suffered a season-ending knee injury before the season ever started.

“You’re never really prepared for when it happens,” Dworaczyk said. “Or how it’s going to happen or what the severity of it is going to be, but you know once it does, there’s a camaraderie as a group that gets tighter even with him not there.”

fellow newcomer Ali Lucas.

“We expected [Dreher] to come in and make an impact right away,” Bahnsen said. “She played well even though she had a triple bogey today.”

Lucas, a junior transfer from Louisiana-Monroe, shot 76 and 74 respectively in the first two rounds before posting an 8-over 80 in the final round.

Florida ran away with the team championship, finishing 12-under to win the tournament by six strokes

over second-place Duke.

Gator sophomore Camilla Hedberg won the individual championship for Florida, shooting 13-under for the three rounds to win by four strokes over Duke senior Lindy Duncan.

The Lady Tigers do not play again until Oct. 5 for the NCAA Fall Preview in Athens, Ga.

Just as Dworaczyk lost his spot in 2011, Faulk’s knee injury in the Wednesday practice leading to the Washington game opened the door for Dworaczyk to earn his way into the starting lineup.

That day’s practice was like any other, according to junior fullback J.C. Copeland.

“It was a tempo thing, we do it everyday,” Copeland said. “It was just a normal thing we do and it just happened. Practice almost stopped for a minute… He was running a play and he was caught up in a pile.”

Dworaczyk and the rest of Faulk’s teammates tried to support their injured brother after Faulk discovered he would need surgery and subsequently miss the rest of the 2012 season.

“He’s doing OK,” Dworaczyk said. “I know it’s tough, it’s almost like an unreal situation for the first couple of weeks, especially once he has the surgery.”

The 1958 squad wasn’t far off those numbers, but it also had the championship hardware.

“I don’t really know much about those teams other than they could hit you and win a lot,” said LSU junior safety Eric Reid. “It’s a comparison I would welcome.”

But Tiger players might not want to endure those teams’ exact path, or at least the exact order of Cannon and Co.’s legendary seasons.

The championship came first, then 1959 brought the heartbreak.

While Cannon won the Heisman and the defense was statistically LSU’s best ever, the Tigers dropped a single regular-season game on a missed two-point conversion at Tennessee, ending a 13week reign atop the polls.

“I still can’t get over that game, sometimes,” Cannon said. “I hope nothing boils down to a play like that for this year’s team.”

A Sugar Bowl berth still awaited, against a conference rival whom they had already beaten without scoring an offensive touchdown in a game for the ages two months earlier.

But No. 2 Ole Miss walloped a punchless LSU squad, 21-0, in New Orleans.

Sound familiar?

LSU has its Ole Miss now, Cannon said. But this time the rival is located in Tuscaloosa.

“It’s the exact same thing as [LSU-Ole Miss] was, just different uniforms,” Cannon said of LSU’s current clashes with Alabama. “The passion, intensity and competitiveness is on the same level, because Ole Miss was so good then. Rivalries are built on competition, and Alabama is LSU’s now.”

The despair of the Jan. 9 rematch might as well be as far in the past as Ole Miss and Cannon’s glory days, LSU players say.

What do you think about students leaving football games early?

Binge drinking cultural, but harmful

While some students are happy when they drink, others drink when they’re happy — either way, it might not be a surprise that there is a correlation between happiness and drinking.

A recent study found that students who binge drink are happier in their social lives than students who don’t partake in binging, but the study fails to answer one important question: Do happy students binge drink, or does binge drinking make students happy?

Students have been warned against the dangers of binge drinking since freshmen orientation, but the term has earned such a negative reputation that most students associate it with irresponsible drinkers or alcoholics. Surely, our Thursday nights in Tigerland or tailgating parties don’t fall into the category of binge drinking.

But binge drinking is simply defined as four or more drinks for women and five drinks or more for men within a two-hour period, said Beth Reames, AgCenter nutritionist.

The binge drinking study, which was conducted by a researcher and sociologist at Colgate University in New York, examined the social lives of 1,595 students at a liberal arts college in the northeast, according to businessinsider.com.

The study contains several limitations, including the selection of students at only one university, but after reading the results, it’s easy to find similarities between these liberal arts students and almost any other group of students in the country.

elementary education junior

‘They’re not students.

They shouldn’t be in the student Garrett Venable marine biology freshman section.’

The study found that students felt that they must drink to fit in with their peers.

Alcohol is embedded into Louisiana’s culture. Mix our culture with a college atmosphere, and you’ve got the “Reggie’s hand job” photo, or the unfortunate fan who was teabagged on Bourbon Street after the national championship game.

Social events spanning from football games to Thirsty Thursday are just a few of the numerous opportunities to drink near campus. On any given day, it’s easy to find a reason and place to drink in Baton Rouge.

Autumn Hoten, mathematics freshman, agreed.

“There are some significant events happening at bars every day, and if you’re looking for a reason to drink, there’s always an occasion,” she said.

Like any other 21-year-old college student, I drink at social events on and off campus, so I won’t play the preacher to the rest of the student body.

But the consequences of binge drinking are undeniable, and when thrown into the college culture, students should beware of excessive drinking.

Just Google “binge drinking and LSU,” and you can read some of the stories.

In 1997, the University made national news when Benjamin Wynne, a 20-year-old student, was found dead at a fraternity house with a blood alcohol level of 0.588.

With the legal drinking limit for drivers at 0.08, Wynne was almost six times over the limit, according to a CNN article.

While many years have passed since the incident, binge drinking continues to be a problem on and around campus.

In an interview with The Advocate, former Student Government

TIM MORGAN / The Daily Reveille

President Cody Wells said underage drinking and drunk driving remain major issues at the University.

“The culture in southern Louisiana definitely does lend our student population to have a good time, but I don’t think that affects our studies drastically,” Wells said in the interview.

While the impact of binge drinking on student grades can be debated, other outcomes, like alcohol poisoning and drunk driving accidents, have much deeper and longer lasting consequences.

Reames said binge drinking may also lead to a number of risky behaviors spanning from unintentional injury to unplanned pregnancy.

“Because of the risks associated with binge drinking,

this behavior is not a recommended practice to gain happiness,” Reames said.

While we often joke that LSU students can out-drink students at other schools any day — which we can — binge drinking has serious consequences. So whether you’re tailgating or simply celebrating the beginning of a new school year, enjoy the fall season responsibly.

Overweight doesn’t necessarily mean unhealthy SCUM OF THE GIRTH PARKER CRAMER Chief Columnist There’s still hope for Khloe Kardashian.

A new study out of the University of South Carolina suggests that being overweight does not necessarily denote being unhealthy on the inside.

Researchers found that out of 18,500 participants, one-third of whom qualified as obese, more than 9,000 were considered healthy.

All the participants, while not obese, were considered overweight.

Essentially, it may not be possible to be obese and healthy, but being a bit husky is probably OK. “The key is being ‘metabolically fit,’ meaning no high blood pressure, cholesterol or raised blood sugar and exercising,” according to BBC. This explains why, growing up, there were overweight children who could keep up and those with inhalers who couldn’t.

Woe to thee, asthmatics. We all remember one.

This also explains why men upward of 300 pounds are able to play 60 minutes of football on a weekly basis.

Looks aren’t everything.

Prior to my freshman year of college, I looked like Christian Bale from The Machinist. I was 6 feet tall and looked like a praying mantis.

I also had insanely high cholesterol for someone of my build.

Cholesterol is influenced primarily by diet and genetics. I was 130 pounds my whole life, but

ROLAND PARKER / The Daily Reveille

I would eat McDonald’s until I crapped whole McGriddles.

I’m sure there are obese people with better cholesterol than me, and I’m sure there’s a skinny person with worse.

The point is, only your doctor can tell.

“Maintaining a healthy diet with lots of physical activity can help to slim you down as well as reduce your risk of heart health problems,” according to Amy Thompson of the British Heart Foundation.

Simply put, what you put in is what you get out.

If you are a fast food connoisseur like myself and have the ability to recite detailed menus to fast food places you’ve only heard about, then you may be thin but your heart is crap.

Exercise is more important than you think. An all boudin and whiskey diet isn’t maintainable, but by not being a total fat ass, we can overcome.

Take the stairs, walk to school, ride a bike, hustle slightly and good health is attainable.

I’m not going to tell you how to exercise. It’s that thing that burns

and hurts a little, and it shouldn’t happen when you urinate.

Personally, the hardest thing to overcome is the mentality of getting in shape.

Starting a regular exercise routine, or planning to start one, can be mentally strenuous for someone who has a substantial amount of weight to lose.

Progress is slow to come and it’s hard to be satisfied with our hard work when we can’t instantly see results.

So the next time someone calls you fat, overweight or morbidly

obese, ask to see that person’s cholesterol report.

Unless that person is Khloe Kardashian, in which case, no matter who you are, you’ve already won.

DNC platform won’t solve Israeli-Palestinian crisis BLUE-EYED DEVIL NICHOLAS PIERCE Columnist During the 1991 Madrid Conference, Israeli and Arab leaders sat down with American diplomats and hammered out a comprehensive peace initiative that conclusively put an end to all violence in the Holy Land forever.

Nah, just kidding – that didn’t happen.

Nor did it happen during the Oslo Accords of 1993, or 2000’s Camp David Summit, or the Taba Talks or the Beirut Summit.

America is about as good at bringing peace to the Middle East as it is at playing cricket — Americans don’t understand the rules and have no idea what the hell is going on.

It doesn’t help when the

Democratic National Convention chooses to reinsert language into its party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, an issue made contentious by the fact that East Jerusalem has been lived in and claimed by Palestinians for centuries.

Former President George W. Bush’s “Road Map for Peace” didn’t resolve the crisis and neither did the 2008 Israeli-Hamas ceasefire.

President Barack Obama tried again with his 2010 “direct negotiations,” but millions of Palestinians still languor in refugee camps and ghettos and the average Israeli bus driver still has the life expectancy of a death row inmate.

Why does America suck at this so badly?

The answer is simple: Conflict resolution depends wholly on an impartial mediator, which America is not.

Israel is one of the world’s

largest recipients of direct economic and military aid from the United States. It is also one of the largest purchasers of U.S. armaments and munitions, making them a valuable market for our bullets and bombs.

It’s hard to convince a group of people that you’ve got their best interest at heart when you’re selling their primary foe billions of dollars in military hardware a year.

Love them or hate them, peace in the region won’t be achieved until the Palestinians are brought to the table as equal partners with Israel — and that can’t possibly happen until we quit playing favorites.

Our political leader’s decision to constantly back Israel to the hilt has created a false balance of power in the region.

With our support, Israel can effectively ignore the millions of people under its military occupation and get away with breaking

international convention, further undermining the peace process and turning places like Gaza into veritable breeding grounds for extremists.

Not only is America’s stance on this issue somewhat hypocritical, it’s also counterintuitive to our greater goals in the region.

Our greatest goal, I assume, is not to start World War III — or at least not to participate in it.

As Israel continues to build illegal settlements in Palestine and conduct foreign policy with American-backed bravado, they drag us closer and closer to a conflict that is not our own.

If the U.S. was to scale back its support for Israel, Israel might have to seriously consider compromising with the Palestinian people in seeking a long term and equitable plan for peace.

Simply by staying home and not getting involved, America could bring about a legitimate peace between the Israelis

and Palestinians.

And peace between those two peoples would go a long way toward easing tensions throughout the region.

America need not abandon Israel; we simply must re-evaluate our relationship and begin treating the tiny Levantine nation like a friend instead of a member of the family.

It’s high time the U.S. quits wasting its efforts on half-hearted peace initiatives and backs away from the powder keg – before Israel drags us someplace we don’t want to go.

“Corruption is when the head of FEMA gives a $10 million check to Bush and gets the job,” Roemer said. “Citizens over 58 are doing the best economically.

The ultra-wealthy are having their best days.”

Roemer offered several

solutions to eliminate corruption.

However, he did mention voting for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson in passing after the speech.

Roemer represented Louisiana’s fourth district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1988. Afterward, he served one term as the governor of Louisiana, from 1988 to 1992. In March of 1991, Roemer switched to the Republican Party.

After a stint in private business, Roemer announced his presidential candidacy in January 2011. He attempted to gain the nomination of Americans Elect and the Reform Party. Roemer is currently a member of the Independent Party.

SWAMP SEEDS, from page 1

replacement surgery and a departure from her labor-intensive job. She was physically and financially suffering until her long-time friend and owner of the Swamp Seeds name, Marshall Beall, approached her with an idea for crawfish-flavored sunflower seeds.

Bryant took to her kitchen, experimenting with various seasonings until she was satisfied. She began handing out samples of the cajunboil-flavored seeds to people, who instantly “fell in love,” she said.

The new entrepreneur’s homecooked seeds were then sent to a spice company, who continuously tweaked the flavors until they met Bryant’s approval. All the while, Bryant’s son, Heath Bryant, designed art for the seeds’ packaging, which is meant to portray a “party in your mouth.”

After the initial setup, Bryant and Beall began peddling Swamp Seeds from their vehicles until October 2011 when the snack made its first retail appearance in almost 50 convenience stores.

Bryant said in the beginning, she just wanted to help her friend, but the titillating treat soon became an obsession.

“I didn’t start out thinking I would open a distribution company and be Ms. Swamp Seeds,” she said.

“It just grew and grew and grew, and

Bags of Swamp Seeds, a snack created by entrepreneur Cathy Bryant, are displayed inside the Cracker Barrel convenience store on Nicholson Drive on Tuesday afternoon.

here we are.”

Today, Swamp Seeds can be purchased in 3,000 locations including Cracker Barrel, Walgreens and Kroger across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.

Larry Wallace, director of Tiger Concessions, said plans are in the works to sell the seeds at concession stands in the upcoming baseball season. Bryant said she hopes to supply the seeds to co-op stores around campus.

Currently, Bryant is involved in every aspect of Swamp Seeds’ distribution process including bookkeeping, marketing, shipping and monitoring inventory. She said she hopes to hire help within the next year, but, as of now, wants to use that money to

help further the product.

“It’s a 24/7 job right now,” she said. “As a distributor, I’m a onewoman circus. It takes every minute of my time, but it’s rewarding because it’s growing and the people are so behind it.”

Bryant said she also plans to introduce some new flavors in the next year including gumbo-flavored seeds. Ideas for seasoned nuts and jerky are also in the works, but Bryant said she would like to establish a name for the original cajun boil flavor first.
