System employees served subpoena for records Gordon Brillon Staff Writer

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office served a subpoena to two University officials Tuesday afternoon, demanding they hand over a list of names and résumés of applicants for the University’s search to fill the position of LSU president.

Robert Rasmussen, assistant vice president of System Relations, and James Marchand, assistant to LSU’s General Counsel, told the sheriff’s deputy who served the court order that the University does not possess the records he was looking for.

Rasmussen told the deputy the only copies of the records he’s aware of are held by the consulting firm R. William Funk and Associates in Dallas, which assisted the University in conducting the search for presidential candidates.

The subpoena was handed down by District Judge Janice Clark on Tuesday morning after a hearing in which she chastised the University for failing to comply with her April 30 order to turn over the documents.

“The power, authority and dignity of this court continues to be frustrated,” Clark said.

She said in the hearing that the

court would authorize the sheriff’s office to obtain the records whether they are located in Louisiana or not, but the subpoena issued Tuesday only allows the sheriff to seize them from LSU’s campus.

Mary Erlingson, who represented the sheriff’s office at the hearing, said the sheriff would execute any orders Clark gives the office, but no order was issued to obtain the records from Funk and Associates. She said the

Obama delays Syria vote, says diplomacy may work

The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said in a nationally televised address Tuesday night that recent diplomatic steps offer “the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons” inside Syria without the use of force, but he also insisted the U.S. military will keep the pressure on President Bashar Assad “and be ready to respond” if other measures fail.

Speaking from the East Room of the White House, Obama said he had asked congressional leaders to postpone a vote on legislation he has been seeking to authorize the use of military force against Syria.

Acknowledging the weariness the nation feels after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama said, “America is not the world’s policeman.”

And yet, he added, “When with modest effort and risk we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I

believe we should act. That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria,” he declared.

The speech capped a frenzied 10-day stretch of events that began when he unexpectedly announced he was stepping back from a threatened military strike and first asking Congress to pass legislation authorizing the use of force against Assad.

With public opinion polls consistently showing widespread opposition to American military intervention, the White House has struggled mightily to generate support among lawmakers — liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike — who have expressed fears of involvement in yet another war in the Middle East and have questioned whether U.S. national security interests were at stake in Syria. Obama had trouble, as well, building international support for a military attack designed to degrade Assad’s military.

Suddenly, though, events

took another unexpected turn this week. First Russia and then Syria reacted positively to a seemingly off-hand remark from Secretary of State John Kerry indicating that the crisis could be defused if Damascus agreed to put its chemical weapons under international control.

The president said he was sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday, and he added, “I will continue my own discussion” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

At the same time, he said the United States and its allies would work with Russia and China to present a resolution to the United Nations Security Council “requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons and to ultimately destroy them under international control.”

In a speech that lasted 16 minutes, Obama recounted the events of the deadly chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that the United States blames on Assad.

“When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way

until these horrifying pictures fade from memory,” he said. “But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied.”

Administration officials said the speech was the sixth Obama has made to the nation from the

White House in more than four and a half years as president.

HEALTH

Speaker advocates for safe dating practices to students

Desiree Robertson Contributing Writer

Two students, male and female, sat on a couch in front of a full Union Theater audience Tuesday evening as Mike Domitrz asked them how they would show their affection at the end of a date.

While this seems unconventional, Domitrz uses this tactic to teach students safe dating practices. It’s all part of his “Can I Kiss You?” program that he presents at schools around the country.

Domitrz, who founded The Date Safe Project, shared his presentation with University students at the request of the University’s Student Health Center and Student Activities Board.

Domitrz said he hope the main lesson students take away from the hour-long program is how to ask for consent from their partners before doing anything physical, even if it’s just a kiss.

Bringing the “Can I Kiss You?” program to campus was the idea of human resource education senior Melanie McKoin, who a member of the SAB. McKoin said she wanted to shed light on a topic that she said is often considered too taboo to talk about in public.

“I like the way he took a funny approach to it, and I thought all of the information was very helpful. It opened your eyes of what you really need to be aware of,” said Emily LaSaicjerre, business management freshman.

Domitrz’shumorous delivery is a good way to discuss the topic, she said.

According to Seirra Fowler, Student Health promotions coordinator, Domitrz has given smaller presentations in the past few years at the University, but it has been approximately four years since his presentation was available to the whole campus.

Domitrz uses light-hearted dialogue to help students understand and remember his message about sexual assault, consent, and healthy dating practices.

His goal, he said, is to leave students with skills on how to have healthy relationships and prevent sexual assaults.

Students always hear not to get pregnant or contract an STD, but that isn’t as helpful as knowing how to take positive steps, Domitrz said.

“Our culture only teaches us what not to do and what not to get,” said Domitrz.

During the program, Domitrz interacted with his audience,

inviting students on stage to help demonstrate different situations they could possibly find themselves in to prove that being awkward isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Asking permission can be a sign that you care for the person, he said.

Domitrz was inspired to create the “Can I Kiss You?” program after his sister was raped while he was in college. He uses his sister’s story to compel others to take action rather than stand by when others are taken advantage of.

Using body language to tell if someone is interested can be misleading, Domitrz said. Instead of guessing, Domitrz said, ask for what they want from their partner so that consent is clear.

EDUCATION

Computer science program merges with engineering Renee Barrow Contributing Writer

The Computer Science Department no longer stands alone. As of July 2012, it merged with the University’s electrical engineering program to form the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

“The LSU College of Electrical Engineering is dedicated to educating students who transform ideas into reality,” said Richard Koubek, dean of the College of Engineering, when the merger was announced last July.

Subject matter for electrical engineering often overlaps with computer science. Both subjects have strong roots in mathematics, making the merge logical.

“This allows us to be inclusive with our faculty and collaborate more together,” said Coretta Douglas, the undergraduate advisor for the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Douglas also held the position of undergraduate advisor for the Computer Science Department prior to the merger.

Computer science junior and president of the Association for Computing Machinery Morgan

Hargrove said that some students were initially worried about the merge, but that the electrical engineering department was welcoming.

The merger of the two departments also has the potential to draw new faculty to the University. Effects are already apparent — two new faculty members, Feng Chen and R. Clint Whaley, were hired in August.

Chen received his Ph.D. from the Ohio State University in 2010, concentrating on memory and storage systems. Chen’s research focuses on creating hybrid storage systems, taking components from both hard disk drives and flash memory. He worked as an adviser at Intel labs in Portland, Ore., before coming to the university. His research influenced Apple’s fusion drive, he said, combining the capabilities of solid-state drives with hard disk drives.

“I saw coming to LSU as an excellent academic research opportunity,” said Chen. “I have more research flexibility.”

While he is primarily conducting research this semester, Chen will teach an operations systems course in the spring.

“I like the people here, they are all very helpful and supportive,”

Chen said.

Whaley received his Ph.D from Florida State University in 2004. He also has a great deal of experience teaching, serving as an assistant professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio since 2005 and earning tenure in 2012.

Whaley developed Extract, a software management program that helps users store different versions of code or different codes in one file.

He also conducts work in algebra communication programs, such as ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) and BLACS (Basic Linear Algebra Communications Subprograms).

It’s too early to tell how positive the merger will be for students, said Hargrove, but the collaborations and overlapping of departments will definitely have an impact on opportunities for students of both disciplines.

“We’re not just engineering and mathematics, we’re graphics, digital media, and our programs tie into everything else,” said Douglas.

sheriff would require a separate court order to retrieve the documents from Funk and Associates.

Clark’s court will convene again at 1 p.m. on Sept. 16.

In the meantime, Jimmy Faircloth, LSU’s attorney, and Loretta Mince, attorney for The Advocate and NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, will attempt to reach a legal agreement called a stipulation.

If the attorneys reach an agreement, the University will turn the documents over to Clark by Sept.

16, and Clark will likely suspend the University’s contempt of court fine, Mince said. Clark placed a $500 per day fine on the University in August for each day it failed to turn over the records.

But both attorneys were quick to point out that stipulations involve heavy negotiations, and they could not say what the stipulation would entail until speaking with their clients.

Faircloth said part of the University’s reason for dragging its feet in turning in the documents is the unclear situation of its appeal of the lawsuit. The University appealed to the First Circuit Court of Appeals in June, but the attorneys disagree on whether the appeal will be heard.

“We want to comply with the court’s order and keep our right to appeal, not comply with the order and forfeit our right to appeal,”

CAMPUS CRIME BRIEFS Man arrested for entering, showering at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house A man was arrested after he entered the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house, took a shower and was in the process of stealing clothes from several rooms when officers arrived on the scene, according to LSU Police Department spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

Stephen Messina, 24, of 201 West Meadow Court in Mandeville, was arrested Sept. 4 for unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling at the fraternity house.

Messina is a former University student and Pi Kappa Phi member.

Lalonde said Messina was detained on the scene and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

Game day lines to return to normal As Student Government uses student feedback from the beginning of the semester to find ways to improve the University’s bus system, a main concern is adding more buses to the night routes.

With more buses running on the night routes, students could expect less traffic and congestion, especially on popular routes like the one that runs near Tigerland, said SG Director of Transportation Brendan Copley.

“We want to add buses where the volume of students are,” Copley said.

SG President John Woodard said SG has been using the first two weeks of school to collect data and student feedback on the bus system so minor improvements can be made as soon as possible.

Students can provide feedback by emailing Parking and Transportation Services or by submitting their ideas on the Transloc mobile application, Copley said.

So far this semester, SG has already introduced services like more buses running to the west side of campus on the Night A and C routes and an additional stop on the Downtown Vet School route — at Nicholson Drive and W. McKinley — for students living at the new University Edge

apartment complex.

However, SG does not plan to add a night bus route for University Edge.

All the new changes to the bus routes are up-to-date on the Transloc app, Copley said.

While SG members are working to improve the bus system, they also have other initiatives underway.

Woodard met with representatives from the LSU Athletic Department to address the student section line debacle, and the department confirmed that Tiger Stadium’s student line will return to the multi-line format for Saturday’s game against Kent State.

Faircloth said.

Clark originally ordered the University to turn over the names and résumés of approximately 35 applicants to the presidential position April 30. The University responded by revealing the names of 10 individuals who submitted applications, but refused to comply with the rest of Clark’s order.

Funk and Associates was hired to assist the University with the search for a suitable candidate in August 2012. From a pool of 100, Funk narrowed the list of candidates to 35. From that list, only F. King Alexander was submitted as a finalist, and was later named to the newly combined president-chancellor position.

SG is also working with Middleton Library to create an online process for the reservation of study rooms.

Ideally, Middleton Library’s study room reservation system will mimic online test scheduling with the Computer-Based Testing Center, said SG Vice President Taylor Parks.

At the SG Senate meeting tonight, members plan to discuss SG Bill No. 1, which makes student organization funding more easily accessible.

Four Kappa Alpha members arrested for battery of two Theta Xis Four University Kappa Alpha fraternity members were arrested Aug. 30 after a physical altercation in which two Theta Xi fraternity members were injured.

Paul Babineaux, 19, of 5355 Arlington Court; Nicholas Zipko, 19, of 777 Ben Hur Road; Andrew D’Armond, 19, of 910 Ben Hur Road and Taylor Johnson, 19, of 1500 Brightside Drive, were arrested for battery charges.

Two victims, students and members of Theta Xi fraternity, reported the instance had happened the night before.

The victims told LSUPD they went outside thinking one of their members was ill and realized he was not a Theta Xi.

When the victims were outside, they said they were approached by members of Kappa Alpha fraternity and engaged in a physical altercation, from which they suffered significant injury.

LSUPD identified four students who admitted to being involved. They were arrested for simple battery.

Lalonde said this is an open investigation, and anyone who has further information is encouraged to contact LSUPD. Students arrested for possessing stolen bike on Parker, Highland roads Two University students, Peyton Kelley and William Knight, were arrested Sept. 3 after LSUPD received a call about two suspects who had stolen a bike off of Parker and Highland roads.

Kelley, 18, of 73 Mount Paran Road, Atlanta, Ga., and Knight, 18, of 6142 Verona Lane, Shreveport, were charged with possession of a stolen item and resisting an officer. Kelley was also charged with possession of fake identification.

Lalonde said when officers arrived on the scene, the two students ran from the officers, but police were able to detain them.

Lalonde said the theft victim was able to identify the suspects.

Baton Rouge Police Department will handle the theft charges because it happened off campus.

The Ones Who GOT AWAY

Cam Robinson, West Monroe High School offensive tackle and No. 2 recruit in the nation, recently chose Alabama over his home state college LSU. Robinson is just the most recent of many highprofile Louisiana players who have slipped from LSU’s grasp.

Before Robinson it was Landon Collins in 2012, before Collins it was Trovon Reed in 2011, before Reed it was Eddie Lacy and before Lacy it was Joe McKnight.

While LSU has still managed to stock the team with elite in-state talent — Michael Brockers, Barkevious Mingo and Eric Reid were all recent first-round picks — the Tigers still probably rue the day they let some of these elite prospects go.

Tigers cautious, prepared for every opponent Squad says team doesn’t go easy Lawrence Barreca Sports Writer

In February during the NFL scouting combine, former LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery told the media an interesting piece of information.

Montgomery revealed in a news conference the notion that he didn’t give 100 percent against lesser opponents during his LSU career. Though he said he gave everything against quality foes, such as Southeastern Conference powers Alabama or South Carolina, he admitted he looked down on nonconference matchups.

“You know, some weeks when we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed,” Montgomery said at the 2013 scouting combine.

Now two weeks into the 2013 season, the current Tigers are again trudging through two unranked, non-conference contests, with perceived lightweight Kent State coming to Baton Rouge after UAB experienced a beatdown in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.

Junior defensive tackle Anthony Johnson said he disagreed with Montgomery’s statement from February, and he denied the issue of LSU players taking plays off against lesser opponents.

Freshman shines in Lady Tigers’ opening tournament Team finishes 11th in Cougar Classic Trip Dugas Sports Contributor

Freshman Caroline Nistrup started her LSU career on a high note as the No. 22 Lady Tigers opened the 2013-14 season at the Cougar Classic in Charleston, S.C., which concluded Tuesday.

The team posted a combined 23-over-par, good for an 11th-place finish at the 20team event. The Lady Tigers’ finish was seven spots lower and 15 strokes better than their Cougar Classic outing last season.

“The team is playing hard, and I’m pleased with what I have seen in our first event,” said LSU coach Karen Bahnsen in a news release.

Nistrup, a Dragoer, Denmark native, played consistently throughout the three-day tournament with rounds of 73 on Sunday and an even 72 on Monday and Tuesday. Her 1-over-par

weekend placed her tied for 13th out of 108 golfers in her first collegiate tournament.

But Nistrup wasn’t the only Lady Tiger to stand out at the Cougar Classic.

It was the third time junior Madelene Sagstrom began her season at Yeamans Hall Golf Club in the Cougar Classic. She finished 4-over-par and tied for 30th overall, but shot the best round of the weekend for the team with a 1-under-par on Monday.

In her second season after transferring from the University of Louisiana-Monroe, senior Ali Lucas ended the weekend tied for 37th place. Her 5-over-par performance was nine strokes better than last year’s start.

Senior Lindsay Gahm was 6-over-par in the last round Tuesday and ended 13-over-par for the weekend. Gahm, who played in all 29 rounds in 2012-13 and all 34 rounds in 2011-12, enters the season as the team’s veteran and looks to improve her play.

The Cougar Classic kicked off coach Bahnsen’s 30th

season as the LSU women’s golf coach. The team’s finish is the best since the 2011 Cougar Classic when former standout Austin Ernst and the LSU team won the tournament.

LSU returns from Charleston with a three-week break from tournament play. The Lady Tigers return to action Oct. 5 at the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Okla., and continue

tournament play every weekend in October.

SEC Power Rankings: Week 3; Tigers move to No. 2 THE SMARTEST MORAN James Moran Sports Columnist Considering how weak the slate of games looked going in, Week 2 turned out to be pretty wild in the Southeastern Conference.

Here’s where we stand after the dust settled.

1. Alabama (1-0) The Tide had a bye week to prepare for Saturday’s monster game at Texas A&M. That gave coach Nick Saban and company plenty of time to iron out the offensive issues they had in their opener against Virginia Tech.

So Alabama keeps hold of the top spot this week, but I guarantee the winner of Saturday’s game will be sitting on top of the rankings and the SEC West next week.

Last Week: 1 2. LSU (2-0) The Tigers’ leap up the rankings is all about Zach Mettenberger. With six touchdowns and no picks, he’s arguably been the best quarterback in the conference through two games and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has helped him take his game to an elite level.

Throw in the two-headed monster of Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry on the outside, plus a solid running game and the Tigers have the best offense they’ve had in years.

Last Week: 4 3. Texas A&M (2-0) For my money, Johnny Manziel is the best player in the country.

He’s improved his accuracy from the pocket this season and leads the most dynamic offense in the SEC. However, the Aggies’ defense has been awful so far, allowing 29.5 points per game against Rice and Sam Houston State. That will have to improve if the Aggies want to have any hope of beating Alabama again.

Last Week: 2 4. Georgia (1-1, 1-0 SEC) Quarterback Aaron Murray finally proved he could win a big game as Georgia saved its season with a 41-30 win against South Carolina that puts it squarely in the driver’s seat in the SEC East.

The defense still has a long way to go, but Murray is rock solid, and running back Todd Gurley is a man among boys with 288 yards and three touchdowns in two games against top-10 teams.

Last Week: 5 5. Ole Miss (2-0, 1-0 SEC) The Rebel Black Bears moved up this week by holding serve against Southeast Missouri State while teams in front of them lost.

When Hugh Freeze

unleashes Bo Wallace and the Ole Miss offense, it’s lethal and can put up points in a hurry. I expect them to make a statement and blow out an overrated Texas team this Saturday.

Last Week: 7 6. South Carolina (1-1, 0-1 SEC) The Gamecocks had the bad luck of running into a desperate Georgia team in Athens last week. Quarterback Connor Shaw and running back Mike Davis put up points, but even the great defensive end Jadeveon Clowney couldn’t manage to slow down Gurley and the Bulldogs.

Last Week: 4 7. Vanderbilt (1-1, 0-1 SEC) Vanderbilt beat up on Austin Peay and moved up this week because they have a quarterback who isn’t named Jeff Driskel.

Last Week: 8 8. Florida (1-1) The Gators’ offense redefined red-zone futility. After a firstquarter touchdown, the next five Florida red-zone possessions ended in two interceptions, one fumble, one turnover on downs and one field goal.

The Gators have a top-10 defense, but Driskel and Florida’s mistake-prone offense make them no better than the third best team in the East.

Last Week: 6 9. Auburn (2-0) Quarterback Nick Marshall and a productive stable of running backs have stabilized the Auburn offense through two games. The Tigers have yet to really be tested, but under coach Gus Malzahn they look like the most-improved team in the SEC. We’ll find out a lot more in two weeks when Auburn travels to Baton Rouge.

Last Week: 9 10. Missouri (2-0) The Tigers should be undefeated heading into their Oct. 5 matchup at Vanderbilt, then we’ll see if coach James Franklin can keep putting up big numbers against an SEC defense.

Last Week: 10 11. Arkansas (2-0) Freshman Alex Collins leads the SEC in rushing and through two games, coach Bret Bielema has made good on his promise to make the Razorbacks a physical football team. I have doubts how it will translate against teams with superior athletes, but for now they have been impressive enough to move up.

Last Week: 13 12. Tennessee (2-0) The Volunteers’ offense has averaged 48.5 points per game, but if it gets in a shoot-out with

Board of Supervisors shouldn’t have gone this far Shut up, meg Megan Dunbar Opinion Editor What do the University Board of Supervisors and Chris Brown have in common?

Both should be in jail.

In the latest twist of the saga regarding the Board of Supervisors’ refusal to turn over the names of candidates for the University’s president position, District Judge Janice Clark threatened members of the Board with imprisonment if they didn’t hand over the list.

Imagine that. All 16 of our illustrious Board members, including the single female and our own student body president, cooling their heels in holding cells until one of them breaks down and begins to recite the names, one after another.

At least, that’s how I imagine it will look in the eventual straight-to-TV movie.

Tagline: “When the validity of their University hangs in the balance, will the Board make the right decision?” Starring Nicholas Cage as F. King Alexander and Lindsay Lohan as

web comments The Daily Reveille wants to hear your reactions to our content. Visit lsureveille.com, our Facebook page and our Twitter account to let us know what you think. Check out what readers had to say in our comment section: In response to Justin Blanchard’s column “Head to Head: Negativity can be absolutely necessary,” readers had this to say: “I couldn’t agree more, Justin. Life is a mixed bag, and merely recognizing that fact is not the same as spreading negativity.

I also don’t associate negativity with rudeness. There’s a difference between feelings and behavior, after all. Thanks for the refreshing article.”

-tinagilbertson “Mr. Blanchard, I do believe that the last time I heard someone comment on another’s overt positivity about life, the commenter him/herself was incredibly miserable with their

Judge Clark.

If the underlying issue turns out to be cartel-related — I mean, Alexander is from California — we could get Vince Gilligan in on the action, and maybe turn the whole thing into a miniseries.

“Purple and Gold are the New Orange,” anyone?

For now, we don’t need to fictionalize the already ludicrous goings-on. Let’s just focus on the facts, which all point toward either a wonderful excuse to hide all of this from the public, or a point of pride.

I’m sure the Board has a reason to keep this information from us, or they wouldn’t act so inflexible on the issue. When someone isn’t being transparent, though, that points toward an underlying issue.

This whole thing reeks of scandal. First off, it’s happening in Louisiana, and as a state, we’re not known for our stellar lack of corruption.

The Board treated 35 mystery people as applicants, but claimed they were never finalists for the job and therefore didn’t have to release the names of the potential presidents who weren’t Alexander.

If the University doesn’t call a candidate a finalist, that doesn’t

mean we’ve given up the right to know the 35 others considered for the job.

Other universities, among them our close neighbor — Nicholls State — can handle an open search. The school is even in Louisiana, proving the stereotypical shadiness wrong.

Nicholls announced its new president Tuesday, doesn’t owe the state thousands of dollars and has no one headed to jail.

It’s not that difficult to carry out an aboveboard search, but then again, not many people follow the news about Nicholls State.

Our University, on the other hand, still ranks within the top 150 in the U.S., according to the U.S. News and World Report.

Which means while we crash and burn, it’ll be worth millions of stories, and the University will become a laughingstock.

Our degrees, by association, will turn into jokes overnight.

I’m not saying this will definitely happen, but if our Board of Supervisors lands in prison, how well does that bode for our reaccreditation? It’s certainly not a check in the box for the criterion of a reliable Board.

And even if it doesn’t affect

own state of mind.

According to Oxford English Dictionary, ‘positive’ is described as ‘showing optimism and confidence,’ which I, and I’m sure many others, see as characteristics of a happy person.

You are correct in your statement that without negativity, we would not experience positivity. We are beings that are born to die. It’s what makes life beautiful.

The reason we experience these moments of negativity is to learn and increase positivity — not negativity — in the world.

Negative events should drive us to become better people.

That being said, we should not seek negativity in life. We should not contribute to the negative energy that exists on its own in this world, as you are apparently so versed in the Taoist concept of Yin and Yang. There is far too many bad things happening in the world for someone to come along and say that overtly positive and — despite what you may think — happy people are the worst things in the world.

Are you telling me that

people who strive for love, understanding, progression, peace, and balance are worse than war, murder, famine and general hatred?

I am in no way positive all of the time. I have moments filled with negative thoughts. But I strive for more positivity than negativity because it DOES, in fact, make me happier to think of peace and love that hatred.

Do you know when we should be negative, Mr. Blanchard? We should be negative when we see others gossiping about someone or something for no legitimate reason. We should be negative when one human being chooses hate over love toward another human being. We should be negative when wars that spawn from negative thoughts tear countries apart.

This is when we should be sad — not when someone else gets the last cookie at the cafeteria.

It is during THESE moments of negativity that we should reflect upon to help us feed POSITIVITY into the world.

I entirely disagree with your statement that ‘expecting people to always be nice to you

is selfish.’

No. It’s not selfish.

It’s the GOLDEN RULE, which is the foundation of every world religion and the basis of the moral code of most atheists I know. Every single person on this planet should treat each other with love and respect until a LEGITIMATE REASON proves otherwise, and then, negativity should still, in most cases, not be brought in. If someone has wronged you, remove them from your life, hence removing the negativity and protecting the positivity.

I’m sorry to say that your hair dying example is THE EPITOME, as you would like to hyperbolize, of a bad example in an argumentative column. It is our duty to care about everyone’s feelings because we, as humans, are all one in the same. What we do upon others is done upon us.

The way we care for ourselves is directly related to how we care for others.

I implore you to do a bit of soul-searching, Mr. Blanchard.

You seem to value the freedom of expression. It’s one of your

arguments, and the fact that you’re a writer proves so. Use that freedom to spread a message of positivity, love and connectedness.

There is enough negativity in the world without the help of another promoter.”

Wording matters because it can change meanings THE HIPPIE DICTATOR Alix Landriault Columnist Words are a measurement of how humans value or disvalue truth. They are used to explain, rectify, question, mislead, promise and persuade. They are the translation of our thoughts.

They are too often underappreciated.

Yesterday, I watched a beautiful movie in a political science class. The main character of the story attempts to determine what kind of swordsman his opponent is by studying the intricacies of how his opponent paints the Chinese character for “sword.”

He emphasizes that calligraphy and swordplay go hand in hand, pushing the boundaries of how one can interpret communication.

There is a simple way to appreciate the subtleties of word use.

Take a look at the Google searches pictured. Each sentence has a slight change in the intention of the question — both who was being affected by the searcher and how personalized the situation was. The suggested continuations of each sentence reveal how individuals’ psyches mold the ways in which they speak.

The scary part is when you apply this realization to entire cultures. Look at the comments under any YouTube video about religion, abortion or politics, and you are bound to see comments

rife with “u” instead of “you,” along with atrocious grammar and even worse logic.

Unfortunately, this kind of speech has power — mob power.

The use of this style of language enables and induces others to follow such thoughts blindly, with little chance to provoke thought other than “I agree” or “I disagree.” Thus people blindly gravitate together en masse, and without respecting their own thoughts.

Power that truly lasts and leads to a progression of human understanding lies with words that are put together with both care and logic. Such statements have the potential to actually change thought. They show the speaker cares about what he or she says.

One of the most appealing parts is, people can connect with well-formulated words on a much more profound level than they can with a short quip if the former is done properly. Poetry is the most obvious example of this, but the concept is shown in other ways: short stories, books and speeches can sing to or rip out our emotions.

One of my most memorable reads from high school was a funeral oration by Pericles, a leader of ancient Athens. In it, he breaks the tradition of lamenting over dead soldiers by honoring generations that have already passed and giving courage to the living, who would be hard-pressed to live up to the fallen soldiers. The piece is poetic without rhymes, and heartening in the face of loss.

It is the definition of power over the masses.

So whether you are crafting your next Facebook post or trudging through a third term paper, I implore you to be mindful of how you express your thoughts. Care for your own ideas is reflected through your words, and those are the words that will survive in the end.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An Indian student’s view of the United States You board a flight, cross the seas and you are an alien.

This alien witnessed a change. I switched from a flight from India loaded with people like me to a 20-seater where I was the only non-American.

Along with this feeling, a lot of other things were different.

The American dollar, the Louisiana intonations and the quarter pounders at McDonald’s – to cite a few.

A ten dollar bill meant that I could pay my graduate studies for an entire semester back in India. Here, I can only buy an apparently moderately-priced meal.

The Louisiana sing-song accent means that my English

just doesn’t sound good. It’s dry, boring and confusing – “What did he just ask?”

Apart from these changes, there are some others that add humor to my daily life. The toilet paper is culturally a dramatic change, and I am still trying to find my way around it. The ‘cool’ greetings from passersby would have been unimaginable in my country filled with so many people.

While these and other changes flood my life with an Americanization of sorts, I am sitting in my carrel trying to understand the context. The different racial and ethinic groups present an interesting similarity to my country.

Back in India, we have castes, which spell similar complications. The subtleties are similar and the environment a tad grey. Having said that, my initial interaction with another race was with the ladies driving the Tigerland A bus.

The first impression of the

lovely African-American lady who greeted me on the first day of boarding the bus would last long. Since I board the bus at the same time, her warm greeting always enthralls me.

While I guess there are people with different opinions, the diversity is something to be cherished. Much to my liking, the other lady driver who drives me back is also warm. Either the weather makes them like this, or it’s a genuine representation of the acceptance of liberal Americanism. These are things which I would slowly understand.

While I still rediscover the flavor of southern America – the country music, the Wal-Mart trips, the accent – there is a contrasting story to tell about my country. The university back in my country is different, and it’s expected to be.

The classrooms are prehistoric by American standards – there is no air conditioning, no projector, no revolving chairs and no such thing as lavish as a

cubicle for doctoral students.

There is no Mike, no baseball, no football; but there is the Royal Bengal tiger, the undying cricket and the shared library space for everyone!

Even the cultural fabric is in striking contrast to what we find here. Two guys walking with hands on each other’s shoulders doesn’t get painted with gay colors. It’s quite normal.

The university is just as big as the one back home, but it’s not filled with grass. What is interesting is that a non-Indian is welcomed with people waiting to ask them about their country and to understand their culture.

The greeting often lengthens into a discussion over multiple rounds of tea!

There is so much to write about the differences that one has to get inside my mind to experience it all. This letter is a modest way to try and represent an entire culture, which isn’t remotely possible.

It is only indicative of the

diversity within the campus that presents us with opportunity to be more tolerant and understanding of the cultural differences. I have already started singing in English, but the “What did he just say?” remains.

Cowboys under Miles, told SI. “They were getting money like out of control. It was as clear as day.”

Efforts to reach LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva for comment were unsuccessful. Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette told The Daily Reveille in a text message no statement would be released until all the reports have been read and reviewed. Miles is scheduled to meet with the media today after practice.

The article claimed Miles had a “hospitable approach” to boosters, allowing them on team flights and bus trips and in the locker room after games. SI also reported money was being distributed to high school athletes after verbal commitments to Oklahoma State.

Larry Porter, who coached with Miles in Stillwater, Okla., and at LSU until 2009, was also accused of giving money to players. DeForest and Porter, who is currently running backs coach at the University of Texas, both denied the claims made against them.

Seymore Shaw, an Oklahoma State running back during the Miles era, said Miles pointed him in the direction of Kay Norris, an Oklahoma State graduate who paid Shaw up to $700 for an hour’s worth of labor.

Other players mentioned John Talley, a booster who allegedly paid athletes exorbitant amounts of money for simple tasks or for jobs they didn’t even do. Talley claimed he paid players a reasonable hourly

wage for work on his ranch but denied ever compensating a player for work he didn’t do.

In the wake of the allegations, many former players took to Twitter and the Oklahoma City airwaves to dispute the claims made by SI. Jamie Blatnick, a former defensive end for the Cowboys, tweeted, “I spent 5 years in Stillwater and never experienced any of these allegations... I’m interested to see who they got their information from.”

SI reported Tatum Bell, who played running back for Miles, denied the report that he accepted cash while in college. Bell adamantly responded to the accusations, calling the article false and claiming he was never even contacted by SI reporters.

The Oklahoma State Athletic Department did not rebut the claims, instead issuing a statement of grave concern regarding the violations.

However, Miles denied all accusations made against him and his staff.

“I don’t know of any improprieties while I was coaching there,” Miles told reporters following the Tigers’ 56-17 win against UAB on Saturday. “We always did things right.”

Forthcoming segments of the SI series will cover allegations concerning athletes having schoolwork done for them, drug use and sale by players and the football program’s hostess group administering sexual favors to players.
