Shock LSU graduate invents stun gun iPhone case

Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

Members of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity apologized Sunday for an offensive sign it hung before the LSU football game.

The LSU Police Department received complaints about the sign, which read “Getting massacred is nothing new to Kent St.,” and officers asked DKE members to take down the offensive sign, LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said.

Lalonde said LSUPD explained the situation and fraternity members agreed to take the sign down.

The sign referenced the 1970 killing of four Kent State students by the Ohio National Guard.

On Sunday, Eric Mansfield, executive director of media relations at Kent State University, released a statement in regards to the sign.

Creator Seth Froom tests out his new iPhone case that doubles as a stun gun Sept. 6. The case is called the Yellow Jacket.

Camille Stelly Contributing Writer

It’s a Friday evening. You’ve just returned home from a night on the town with your friends. As you approach the door, you hear unfamiliar noises coming from inside your home. A scratching noise. It gets louder and louder as you get closer to the door. Your heart is racing as you start to realize something is not right. You open the door only for it to be kicked by intruders.

This was Seth Froom’s experience one August night in 2011 at his Highland Creek home. It marked the second time the inventor of the Yellow Jacket stun gun phone case was robbed at gunpoint in his own home, defenseless.

“It was a terrible situation, so I was looking around for some type of weapon system to defend myself and my home,” Froom said.

“I learned in that moment, you only are as effective as what you have in reach when that moment of chaos

comes. It’s a very unpredictable moment.”

The only thing in Froom’s hand at the time was his iPhone.

“I decided I needed some sort of protective device that wouldn’t intrude on my life, like a lethal firearm,” Froom said.

GAME DAY

Student gate entry much smoother Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

Entry to Tiger Stadium went more smoothly this weekend as the process reverted back to its old process during Saturday’s game against Kent State University.

During the first home game on Sept. 7, many students were surprised by the changes — mainly the combined “snake gate” or single line and long waits to get into Tiger Stadium.

Senior Associate Athletics Director Eddie Nunez apologized for the delays and said last week, given the weather and other factors, there was a miscommunication among the event staff.

In a letter to The Daily Reveille last week, Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Joe Alleva said the Athletics Department would meet with representatives from Student Government as well as the LSU Police Department to fix the situation.

Student Equality Project advocates for equal rights Group places focus on activism Taylor Schoen Entertainment Writer

Though the fight for LGBT equality has made serious progressive strides recently, the battle in Louisiana is still an uphill effort. A new student organization, the Student Equality Project, aims to advocate for equality on both campus and local levels.

Armand Link, president of Student Equality Project and interdisciplinary studies senior, said he began the group because he felt there was a need for a stronger oncampus advocacy group for LGBT students. While the group’s focus

INTERNATIONAL World’s oldest man dies in New York nursing home at the age of 112 GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. (AP) — The world’s oldest man, a 112-yearold self-taught musician, coal miner and gin rummy aficionado from western New York, has died.

Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez died Friday at a nursing home in Grand Island, according to Robert Young, senior gerontology consultant with Guinness World Records.

Sanchez-Blazquez became the world’s oldest man when Jiroemon Kimura died June 12 at age 116.

In 1920, he came to the US through Ellis Island and worked in the coal mines of Lynch, Ky. Syrian official: Chemical weapons deal a ‘victory,’ help avert war BEIRUT (AP) — A high-ranking Syrian official called the U.S.-Russian agreement on securing Syria’s chemical weapons a “victory” for President Bashar Assad’s regime, but the U.S. warned Sunday “the threat of force is real” if Damascus fails to carry out the plan.

“We welcome these agreements,” Haidar was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti agency. “On the one hand, they will help Syrians get out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they averted a war against Syria by removing the pretext for those who wanted to unleash one.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring at least 35 people.

None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the State Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Patrol Sgt. Pete Combs said an investigation was underway and he could not comment on a possible cause for the crash.

GRETNA (AP) — A Jefferson Parish jury has cleared a New Orleans man of murder in the death of a master of ceremonies outside a Gretna nightclub in December 2010.

The Times-Picayune reports that jurors deliberated about 30 minutes Friday night before acquitting 27-year-old Jason Elliot in the death of 22-year-old Carl Grant.

Elliot’s attorney, Martin Regan, says Grant belted out a rap song that offended some audience members, who started a fight in the Cozy Kit lounge. Gretna police say that outside the bar, two gunmen fired at least 10 times at Grant, hitting him about six times.

Academics

University alumnus and team OLLI offers college create prehistoric board game courses to retirees

Alexis Rebennack Staff Writer

Cavemen, Neolithic gods and towers of worship are all parts of the new board game created by Jeremy Burnham, lead designer and founder of EGRA Games.

Burnham, a 2012 University alumnus, came up with the idea of the game as well as his company while studying business at Harvard.

The premise of the game, Stack & Attack, is that each player is a Neanderthal trying to stack stone towers to the sky to worship the gods.

Players compete to see who can stack their tower the fastest, but have to make decisions to either go to the quarry and gather new rocks, to continue trying to stack or to knock down other players’ towers.

During one of his classes at Harvard, Burnham and his classmates had to group together and create individual businesses. Burnham said he immediately knew what he wanted his business to be.

“I always, personally, just wanted to publish kind of an oldfashioned board game,” Burnham said. “And I ended up being able to convince a couple of my classmates to jump on board.”

Burnham said the group had three or four brainstorming sessions, all of which ended in disappointment.

“During one session, my friend and current business partner Chris

Finlayson said sarcastically, ‘Why don’t we make a game where we build houses and throw stones at each other?’” Burnham said. “We kind of laughed it off. We had two other better ideas that we decided to spend 80 percent of our time on.”

Burnham said that no one made any progress on the “better” ideas, but two people had working prototypes of Stack & Attack.

Once the product was created, the group had to figure out exactly how they were going to brand this new game.

Burnham said coming up with a company name took a lot of brainstorming, but finally one member of the group from Russia suggested EGRA, which is Russian for the word “game.”

“It’s funny because really, our company’s name is ‘Game Games,’” Burnham said.

After the class ended, Burnham decided to bring the class project into the real world.

The founders of EGRA Games wanted to make sure that the board game would be profitable, so they sent out about 100 copies of the game to game bloggers and other influential people in the gaming industry to get their feedback.

The remaining copies of the game were sold to hobby stores in Massachusetts.

According to Burnham, the feedback has been positive.

“There are a lot of casual

gamers and hardcore gamers out there,” Burnham said. “Our game sits in between those two categories.

It’s a transition from casual games to intense strategy games.”

Stack & Attack is modeled after Bohnanza, a German strategy game that came to the U.S. 15 years ago.

Burnham said that initially he wanted to make a physical game that sits in the store, but the company also has other goals.

“We are thinking about going in three directions,” Burnham said.

“We could come out with an expansion to [Stack & Attack] or a complementary game along the same line as our first one, or we could convert this game into an app.”

Burnham said that he learned when a physical game is converted into an app, both products work together because people who play the app can only play it solo, making them more likely to buy the board game to play it with friends.

EGRA Games just started its own Kickstarter campaign, which will give the creators a sense of how big the demand is beyond the local Massachusetts area.

Burnham said anyone can go to the Kickstarter website and pledge their financial support of any amount to help fund the creation, distribution and production of Stack & Attack.

Jim Firnberg is a dedicated student. In the past few years, he has taken classes in astronomy, history and constitutional law.

He is also a 78-year-old former LSU professor and chancellor of LSU Alexandria.

Firnberg has been taking classes with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a division of the department of Continuing Education that offers classes for adults 50 and older.

OLLI, which has provided programs to older residents for the last decade, will offer its first classes of the year today.

Wendy Overton, director of OLLI at LSU, said the program is offered at five separate locations across the state: Baton Rouge, Gonzales, Assumption Parish, Eunice and St. Francisville.

The goal of OLLI is to foster community, according to Overton.

She said after people retire, it can be difficult to maintain an active social and intellectual life, and OLLI helps them do that.

“When people enter what I call the ‘third stage of life,’ they’re often retiring and the circles they run in change,” Overton said. “OLLI helps people develop an engaging life in retirement with people with similar schedules and interests.”

Overton said the most popular courses are often those that

younger students would try to avoid, and Firnberg agreed.

Firnberg said his favorite classes mostly had to do with history and other social studies, which he had less interest in when he was younger.

“I took one or two classes with [LSU history professor] James Hardy. He is an incredible lecturer,” Firnberg said. “I thoroughly enjoyed every class, and I think it’s worth anyone’s while to take a look at what they offer.”

Overton said besides continuing their education, members can take courses to learn life skills they wouldn’t have otherwise.

While OLLI previously offered classes in Microsoft Word and Excel, Overton said these classes did not attract many students. So OLLI asked students to fill out a survey describing which aspects of computer technology they would be interested in learning.

“Skype, iPads, email, music — those were the most popular,” Overton said. “They want to be able to connect with their grandkids and things like that. Word and Excel are more business skills that retired people don’t need as much.”

Overton said the OLLI program relies on endowments from the Osher Foundation, but is financially self-sufficient.

CONSTRUCTION

Campus projects remain abundant Numerous projects reflect growing needs Elizabeth Thomas Contributing Writer

Heavy construction on campus continues as the University completes various projects to update, renovate and expand campus.

Residential Life, parking garage, parking and street renovations and construction are all combining to make commuting across campus somewhat difficult. These projects are funded through the sale of revenue bonds, according to Roger Husser, director of Planning, Design and Construction for Facility Services.

“It is partly coincidental that there is so much construction,” Husser said.

He said the construction around campus is both a reflection of the University growing to meet the current needs of its students as well as modernization of various campus buildings.

The construction of two new state-funded buildings, the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (in the School of

Veterinary Medicine) and the Animal and Food Science Laboratory (behind the AgCenter), is projected to be completed at the end of this month, Husser said.

Res Life is going through a series of construction projects as part of a larger revenue project. Husser said the renovation of Annie Boyd Hall is scheduled for completion by the end of this month.

Evangeline Hall, the next project planned by Res Life, will undergo renovations similar to those of Annie Boyd.

“We have a lot of projects that are being completed right now and then we will see a pause, and then a lot of other projects begin renovation,” Husser said.

Construction for the headquarters of the LSU Foundation will begin in the spring semester.

Currently located in the Lod Cook Alumni Center, the headquarters will be moved to a new building on the corner of Skip Bertman Drive and Nicholson Drive where the old Alex Box Stadium was located. The Lod Cook Alumni Center will now house other University entities such as the LSU Press and the LSU Office of Communications and University Relations, which are currently located in former sorority houses on West

Lakeshore Drive.

Phase II of the Easy Streets renovation is set to begin next summer and will focus on construction along Fieldhouse Drive, South Stadium Drive and the west end of South Campus Drive.

Next summer should also mark the completion of the $6 million construction of the Career Services center in the Student Union.

Husser said that this construction will move Career Services into a more up-to-date and modern space.

Patrick F. Taylor Hall is expected to begin construction in the next 12 to 18 months, Husser said.

This construction will include an annex on the west side of the building that will form the first building in the new quadrangle. There is no date of completion for the construction of a new quadrangle near Patrick F. Taylor.

Projects still waiting to be funded include the renovations for the French House and the old engineering shops in the University’s art department. The start date for those projects will depend on when the state legislature decides to fund them, Husser said.

forgive our action and accept our sincere apologies. We apologize not only to the community of Kent State, but also to those who were personally affected by this tragedy in American history. Hanging the banner was a poor attempt at humor.

DKE hung another sign on Sunday reading, “We would like to apologize to Kent State for our inappropriate sign.”

LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill (33) runs into the end zone for the Tigers’ first touchdown Saturday during their 45-13 win against Kent State in Tiger Stadium. Hill finished with 117 yards on 11 carries, two of which went for touchdowns.

Taylor Curet Sports Contributor

In October 2012, a 50-yard touchdown run by then-freshman running back Jeremy Hill sealed a victory in the fourth quarter against South Carolina, and introduced Hill to Baton Rouge.

Saturday, a similar 58-yard touchdown sprint in the opening moments of the game was Hill’s re-introduction to the scene, enroute to LSU’s 45-13 victory against the Kent State Golden Flashes.

For Hill, whose offseason actions have plagued the start of

his sophomore year, his seasonhigh 11 carries, 117 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday were more of a homecoming than the traditional game ever could be.

With TCU and two cupcakes in its wake, LSU should really like its position heading into Southeastern Conference play against Auburn next week.

Averaging 46 points and nearly 500 total yards per game, the Tigers’ offense has been a revelation, moving the ball at will through the air and on the ground.

The offense has put up video-game numbers, something I didn’t think I’d ever see from a Les Miles-coached team — especially with the Gary Crowton era fresh in my mind.

You don’t need to be a quarterback guru to see that the difference begins with Zach Mettenberger.

We’ve all heard a lot about Mettenberger’s improvement under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, but I can’t believe this is the same guy I watched last season. He’s thrown for more than 250 yards a game, completed 65.2 percent of his passes and tossed a school-record nine touchdowns in his first three games.

All good things must come to end as the LSU volleyball team discovered this weekend when its seven-match winning streak came to a close Saturday night against Miami.

The Tigers (7-1) fell to the Hurricanes in five sets for their first loss of the season, but not before making a late surge after falling down two sets to none to start the match.

“I’m proud of the resiliency our team

was able to show during those third and fourth sets,” said LSU coach Fran Flory in a news release. “The positive was we were able to fight back in a match where our offense efficiency wasn’t very good.

You have to credit Miami and the game plan their coaching staff put together.”

The matchup was the second time in as many days LSU and Miami met on the court, with the Tigers taking the first match in a grueling five-set duel. However, the momentum from the win was immediately lost in the first two sets in Saturday’s meeting when LSU committed 20 hitting errors for a negative .110 hitting percentage.

Tigers defeat Rice 1-0 in final nonconference match Chris Abshire Senior Reporter

LSU senior defender Alex Ramsey picked a good time to notch her first career goal.

Ramsey headed the ball home off of a corner-kick sequence with an assist from sophomore midfielder Heather Magee in the 70th minute, earning the Tigers a 1-0 win against Rice on Sunday and salvaging a weekend split in Texas after Friday’s 4-0 shellacking at Stephen F. Austin.

“It was an odd weekend,” said LSU coach Brian Lee. “We had a flat performance Friday night and came out and fought really hard on Sunday, so it was very similar to last weekend with losing to Minnesota and beating Southern Cal.” Though it took her 70

minutes Sunday, Ramsey had waited 71 games at LSU to make a mark on the scoresheet. Often confined to the defensive third, the Rock Hill, S.C., native hasn’t had many chances near the net, never earning so much as an assist.

That changed at an opportune moment for the Tigers, as an offensive blitz to open up the second half finally paid off.

After freshman midfielder Emma Fletcher’s corner kick was initially cleared, Magee headed the ball toward the left post, where Ramsey won the scrum and poked the ball past Rice goalkeeper Amy Czyz.

“The first 30 minutes of the second half was about the best we’ve played all year, so it was a relief to see a goal from it,” Lee said. “We were really unlucky to not get a goal sooner,

NFL FOOTBALL

Saints win against Bucs, 16-14 The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Drew Brees was sacked four times, knocked around a bunch more and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.

Still, the New Orleans quarterback found a way to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers again.

Garrett Hartley kicked a 27yard field goal as time expired to give the Saints a weather-delayed 16-14 victory and their fourth consecutive win over their NFC South rivals on Sunday.

Brees shrugged off the mistake that gave Tampa Bay the lead early in the fourth quarter to complete three straight passes for 54 yards to lead the Saints (2-0) into position to win.

He finished 26 of 46 for 322 yards, although interceptions by linebackers Dekoda Watson and Mason Foster led to all of Tampa Bay’s points.

The game was interrupted by a 69-minute suspension of play because of lightning that sent fans at Raymond James Stadium scurrying for cover early in the first quarter.

The Bucs (0-2) lost on a field goal in the closing seconds for the second straight week. Foster scored on an 85-yard interception return for a 14-13 lead.

However, Rian Lindell missed a 46-yard field goal attempt just over a minute later, giving Brees one more chance to bring the Saints back.

Brees led his team into scoring position with completions of 15 yards to Jimmy Graham, 8 yards to Darren Sproles and 31 yards to Marques Colston.

It was the 22nd time during the regular season Brees has led a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime.

The Bucs played resilient defense to stay in the game, but in

the end weren’t able to generate enough offense.

Brees threw a 56-yard TD pass to Graham, who finished with 10 receptions for 179 yards.

Hartley kicked a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter, but the Saints wasted a couple of other opportunities.

The Bucs were penalized 13 times for 102 yards during a season-opening 18-17 loss to the New York Jets, including three costly personal fouls — the last of which set up the Jets’ gamewinning field goal in the closing seconds. They had three more penalties for hard hits in the second quarter Sunday.

End Adrian Clayborn was assessed an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hard hit on Brees, safety Dashon Goldson was flagged for a blow to the head on Sproles two plays later, and safety Ahmad Black later was

against Owls junior midfielder Quinny Truong.

The shutout was Kinneman’s sixth of the season. That makes 16 clean sheets in her career, good for second in the LSU record books.

The weekend wrapped up LSU’s nonconference slate, as the Tigers open up Southeastern Conference play on Saturday at Vanderbilt.

“This team will be fine if we figure out a way to channel some of the resilience and desperation we have on Sundays with those fresh legs we have in Friday matches,” Lee said. “If we do that, the SEC still has great parity, but we’ll be a threat to win any game.”

When play resumed, his first pass was intercepted by Watson at the Saints 35 to set up Josh Freeman’s 5-yard TD pass to Kevin Ogletree for a 7-3 lead for Tampa Bay. A missed defensive assignment left Graham wide open on his TD reception that put the Saints up 10-7.

Monday, September 16, 2013 MOMENTUM, from page 5

Mettenberger from last season is his responses to the media — he still gives the same sarcastic deadpan answers when asked about breaking records.

Well, maybe he’s a little happier this season.

After the running game took a back seat to Mettenberger’s five touchdowns against UAB, Miles said all week he wanted the ground game to get back on track against Kent State. He said his linemen needed to finish their blocks so the Tigers could run with greater efficiency.

Miles’ team heard him loud

and clear, responding with 307 rushing yards on 37 carries — 8.3 yards per carry — against the Golden Flashes on Saturday night.

But perhaps the biggest development to come out of Saturday was the return of the old Jeremy Hill, who showed the burst and power that made him so effective last season. After the game, Miles said he still thinks Hill isn’t fully back yet. With 117 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries, it’s going to be scary if Miles is right.

Again, I know the last two defenses LSU faced were awful, but this offense appears to be

The Daily Reveille firing on all cylinders, and I think they’ll continue putting up points all season long.

I’m much more curious to see how the LSU defense does once the level of competition cranks up.

The Tigers had some issues with tackling and missed assignments in the secondary during the second quarter against UAB. As a result, defensive coordinator John Chavis is working in a number of young players in the secondary.

I wanted to see how the defense would handle Kent State running back Dri Archer’s explosiveness Saturday night, but

page 7 he was hobbled by an ankle injury and only played a handful of downs.

Auburn’s up-tempo offense will provide an interesting test for the Tigers’ defense next week, but nothing LSU has seen thus far compares to the fire power it will face against Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M down the road.

But given the way all those teams have scored and given up points so far this season, defense might be on the decline in the SEC. All the Tigers have done thus far is take care of business, but I’ve been really impressed with

But Hill’s resurgence wasn’t the only highlight of Saturday night. The Tigers produced more than 300 yards on the ground, largely because of Hill’s performance and junior running back Terrence Magee’s career-high 108 yards, all of which came in the second half.

deserving of the main role in LSU’s backfield, coach Les Miles isn’t convinced Hill is back to being the runner he was a season ago. “[Hill] can run, that’s not the issue.” Miles said. “He hasn’t carried the ball, even in practice, significantly. We’re really getting him back to sharpening his skills to where they were last year.”

The Tigers’ game plan Saturday against the Golden Flashes was to get the running game going.

With four work horse backs in Hill, Magee, junior Kenny Hilliard and senior Alfred Blue, the carries were spread around.

Saturday was the first time two LSU players — Hill and Magee — rushed for more than 100 yards since last season’s opener against North Texas when Hilliard and Blue ran for 141 and 123

Magee didn’t see the field in the first half of Saturday’s game, but in the third quarter he hit the ground running. His first touch went for 24 yards and he averaged 12 yards per carry, keeping the Franklinton native’s mindset to take hold of every touch he gets.

Monday, September 16, 2013 stun gun, from page 1

And so the idea for the Yellow Jacket phone case was born.

Yellow Jacket case is a protective case for the iPhone that acts as a stun gun and rechargeable battery.

It fires .8 amps of electricity when discharged.

The LSU graduate describes the pain “as an unexplainable sensation.”

“It’s not so much an overwhelming pain as it’s something your body moves every effort to get away from,” Froom said. “It really does stun you.”

Froom relied on his U.S. Army training in combat arms as a springboard for his research for Yellow Jacket.

According to Froom, 45 out of 50 states allow stun guns, but laws may be different in some jurisdictions. Some universities have restrictions, but Louisiana and the University allow stun guns.

LSU Police Department Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said it is not illegal to carry defensive weapons on campus — except

firearms — but it is illegal to carry if used in such a way that causes bodily harm unnecessarily.

“I don’t encourage students to carry these devices,” Lalonde said.

“But my word of caution is receive proper training. Understand how to use [these defensive weapons].”

Along with proper training, Lalonde advised students to be prepared in the event an assailant takes their weapon and uses it against them.

General business freshman Jonathan Dorsey said he wouldn’t buy the Yellow Jacket because he doesn’t think he would pull his phone out fast enough to use.

Conversely, psychology freshman Jordan Nichols said carrying a stun gun is useful because of the size of campus. She said with a stun gun, she would feel protected from danger.

Interdisciplinary studies freshman Bonnie Rees said she’s worried about shocking herself accidently, but Yellow Jacket is equipped with safety features to prevent accidental discharge. Yellow Jacket has a safety cover over the stun gun and

The Daily Reveille on/off safety switches on the side of the case.

Yellow Jacket is $139.99 for the iPhone 4/4S and available to those at least 18 years old. Yellow Jacket will be available for the iPhone 5 this November, and Froom said buyers could expect a Samsung Galaxy S4 case by December or January.

The iPhone 5 case will feature more power from the stun gun and the ability to use the stun gun even if the phone dies. Froom said he is developing a case for law enforcement officers.

For students who cannot afford this device, Lalonde offers simple safety precautions.

“The most important thing is to be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking around campus alone at night,” Lalonde said.

“Utilize campus transportation and LSU police.”

blunder about gender.

“Say, for example, you’re in a classroom, and a teacher is using the example of male and female.

Although we live in a gender-binary society, that’s still not including a lot of people and the trans community people who don’t identify themselves as male or female. So the teacher points them out and identifies them with a gender, and they don’t feel comfortable with it,” Brown explained.

Brown went on to say SEP would help foster communication between students and teachers to educate them on how to avoid these unintentional mistakes by hosting panels and meetings.

Link and Brown also said they want SEP to create a safe space for LGBT students who can feel unwelcome in a conservative state like Louisiana.

“We recognize that there’s a lot of people out there that support some of the same causes that we do and want to see equal recognition in the form of laws and want people to feel safe,” Link said. “We think there’s a huge opportunity for us to get more people involved with this new organization.”

He said even though the legislative session in Louisiana is inactive until spring, the group will be working toward changing issues such as housing, job and adoption discrimination against LGBT people as well as civil unions, domestic partnerships and marriage equality.

Management junior Chase Miller, an active member of SEP, said he would like to personally improve self-esteem among the LGBT community.

“I find that a lot of people have a lot of self-esteem issues — people who are really feeling low about themselves,” Miller said.

“They shouldn’t feel that way.

They should feel really proud of who they are — however they describe themselves as, they should be proud of it and not be ashamed of who they are.”

While the groups may share many of the same members, Link emphasized SEP is a completely separate entity from Spectrum, the University’s other LGBT student organization.

The main focus of SEP will be activism and advocacy for LGBT equal rights, while Spectrum will now focus on the social aspects of LGBT life.

Even though the groups are independently run, Link said they will be collaborating together on events as well as other organizations such as Feminists in Action and any other groups willing to team up.

SEP and Spectrum will be hosting Rainbow Rush on Sept.

19. Rainbow Rush aids students in finding LGBT resources around town and making new friends. SEP will also be holding its first meeting Sept. 24.

SG President John Woodard said during this process he and David Taylor, assistant director of game and event management for the Athletics Department, had great communication to try and fix the situation.

“The Athletics Department did a great job at getting everyone on the same page,” Woodard said.

He said he heard no complaints from students and results of the turnaround were evident, adding that the average wait time was four minutes as everyone maintained a continuous flow.

Mass communication freshman Maegen Price said this week’s separate lines were easier to get through.

“It went straight through and it was very calm,” Price said of Saturday’s game.

Last week, Price found herself waiting in the crowd, which she said was very chaotic.

Additionally, she said this time her Tiger Card was swiped for priority points in contrast to the previous game.

Last week, there was only one line for bag inspections, but this week Woodard said every line had a bag inspection, preventing students from backtracking and going through multiple lines.

Take action to fix the problems of the future THE UNRIDDLER Christine Guttery Columnist It’s interesting that the qualities of the leaders we admire are all qualities that don’t come naturally. If everyone followed the “I do what I want” philosophy, society would soon fall apart, because our decisions have dire consequences.

There’s a lot to be depressed about in the world — family dysfunction, crime, corruption — so we proceed to blame. We blame poverty and religion and schools and politics, former and past presidents, Democrats and Republicans.

But at the end of the day, we can’t keep passing the buck. We must face the choice to become part of the problem or part of the solution. The decisions we make — or don’t make — affect not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.

We are the leaders of the next generation — the businessmen, senators, governors, teachers, mothers and fathers. I don’t think we fully understand this,

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 Mariel Gates’ column “Head to Head: Planned Parenthood offers valuable, needed reproductive healthcare,” readers had this to say: “Why is it that so many “prolife” people try to make this such a black and white issue? It’s not.

There is such a thing as an “inbetween” phase in the life cycle.

If a fetus cannot survive outside the womb, you can’t say it’s a full fledged human yet.

I would be open to some restrictions on late-term abortions (abortions that happen after a fetus has become ‘viable’). But as long as the fetus still depends solely on the mother for survival, I don’t consider it a full-fledged human being...it’s part of the mother’s body until it is ready

because if we did, I think we’d act differently.

Our generation is going to have to pick up where the last one left off. Do we have what it takes to sustain our country?

Imagine yourself in a leadership position, specifically one of political power. Could you withstand the temptation to choose money and power over responsibility and service? If we cannot trust ourselves to be responsible leaders, we can’t blame someone else.

The optimal society requires each person to fulfill his or her individual role with excellence. We cannot change others, but we can choose what we will do. Whatever role you play — mother, husband, friend, sibling, teacher, boss — you are a leader who affects people, for better or worse.

To make a positive impact on society, we can develop important leadership qualities such as humility, honesty and servanthood. Good leaders understand that they are no more important than anyone else, are trustworthy and practice what they preach.

The paradox of true leadership is that true leaders are servants who truly care about the people they to separate and become viable.”

Also PP just had to pay Texas’ medicare fund back over 44 million for falsely reporting services that they never performed. If they’re willing to lie to the government for money, how can we trust them to be accurate in their self-counting?”

- Deanna candler “How else would you propose that PP count their services. Even if someone only comes in to get a condom, they have made a deliberate choice to come to PP. And by coming to get condoms or bc it also means that they are NOT there to get an abortion. Isn’t that a GOOD thing? They have to track the reasons that people are coming in there....so why would you not count it when people come to get condoms or to get a bc prescription?”

represent and want the best for them.

These qualities don’t come easily, but in order to retain our freedom, we must take them seriously. If we all did whatever we pleased without considering the effects, society would eventually unravel.

The basis of a free society inevitably lies in a moral people.

Former President John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Freedom from law, rules and morality would mean chaos and destruction for society. You may think, “Well, I’m not strictly moral,” but think about it. Our entire society relies on trust and the

actual evidence that ProLifers are motivated by “hate”. How is it hateful to want to protect the vulnerable preborn human in the womb?

Secondly, the 3% accounting is based on shoddy accounting of services. If you look at PP’s own report, they count each condom they give out as 1 service. If you go in and get a checkup and they ask you if you are on the bc pill, they count that single question as “birth control counseling” and a service. If when you leave they give you 5 condoms, you guessed it- 5 services.

Even their abortion counting is off. When you get an abortion you must first do a pregnancy test, be counseled about the procedure’s risks, and get an ultrasound. All of those are part of the abortion process, yet PP counts them as separate “services”.

Thirdly, whether you like it or not, it is a SCIENTIFIC FACT that the preborn child is a human, and that abortion ends the life of a human being. To call that “silly” is disgusting. PP is the largest abortion provider in the nation, and killed over 300,000 preborn children in 2011- there is nothing silly or insignificant about that.

And finally, the services mentioned are available at over 8,000 low cost health clinics across the nation, but those clinics don’t do abortions. Defunding PP could send those funds to organizations that don’t consider killing human beings a profitable enterprise.

You need to educate yourself better on this issue!”

- Deanna candler “In response to your statement, “...unless you’re the one getting the abortion, abortions don’t affect you.... The only real thing you’re doing is using your hate and narrow-minded belief about the sanctity of life to dictate someone else’s.”

I am against abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and danger to the mother.

I do not take this position hatefully or with a narrow-minded view.

I know there is pain, fear and uncertainty for people facing unplanned pregnancies. As a male, I can never fully understand the challenges women face.

But I was offended when you suggested I don’t stop to consider before forming my beliefs.

I believe that once a fetus is

Take these cultural expectations for example: we wait to pay for our food at restaurants, rather than sneaking out without paying; when shopping, we take our items to the counter and pay for them even though shoplifting is relatively easy in many stores; we respect traffic laws for our own good and trust that other drivers will do the same.

Opinion

page 13

We should respect the word of the Founding Fathers THE HIPPIE DICTATOR Alix Landriault Columnist Some Americans need to reread their country’s sacred text.

Despite humans having written it centuries ago and having subjected it to various interpretations throughout time, the Constitution remains the core for how Americans guide their country. It offers rules and values to help us live together.

Of all of this document’s sections, people seem most reverent of the First Amendment, which promises, among other things, the freedom of religion — Americans can practice any religion that doesn’t violate American laws.

On Sept. 11 of this year, two rallies demonstrated how some people interpret this section of the Constitution. Both rallies failed to achieve what they should

have accomplished.

The American Muslim Public Action Committee first organized the “Million American March Against Fear.” The idea was to promote tolerance of minority beliefs, and the committee invited non-Muslims to participate. They planned to march from the National Mall to Congress, then to the Supreme Court, then the White House. Acknowledging the day on which they had gathered, participants even held a moment of silence for the victims of the infamous 9/11 attacks.

There were a couple of problems with this gathering, however. First, the speeches that were held were geared toward vilifying the American government, claiming the plane crashes were an “inside job” and the government was purposely fueling a fear of Islam in the country.

Obviously, there are citizens that agree with these ideas and people should voice them. Still, by allowing these accusations to be a focal point of the “Million

American” rally, it negated any chance that the mainstream culture would feel more amicable to accepting the demonstrators’ views of peace among differing religious beliefs. Had participants brought up this issue directly a week after, I expect there would have been a negative response of less strength.

The second rally, 2 Million Bikers to D.C., had potential as well. However, as one can see by the title, the idea that this ride was mainly to honor those affected by 9/11 quickly disintegrates, for the group intended to double its impact relative to the “Million American” march. The group’s Facebook page is overrun with pictures of Jesus, references to God, requests for prayers and even condemnations of the Muslim rally. One of the main points made by the organizers is that the riders were people against a “fundamental transformation of America.”

Christianity is not exactly in this land’s roots. Our coins and

“The Pledge of Allegiance” were transformed when people stuck “God” in them.

It saddens me to see humans so intolerant and inconsiderate of other humans. People across the globe come to their ideas of truth in different ways — some ideas may be right, and others may be wrong.

But whether a person is a Buddhist, atheist, agnostic, Muslim, Wiccan, Christian or Satanist, if he or she is a legal, lawabiding American, then they are free to practice the religion they choose.

If you try to take that identity away from someone, do not bother celebrating Independence Day. Do not recognize President’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day or Flag Day, because these are not geared toward anti-Americans.

I recognize the tradition of the majority is a safe place. I also think the right thing to do is sometimes the harder thing to do.

In our lifetimes and,

unfortunately, for probably more than a century, I know there will be violence from religious zealots, whether they be radical Islamists, members of the Westboro Baptist Church or believers of some new threat.

Our true battle is fought on the plain of assumption — we must stop judging majorities for the actions of minorities. If Americans can eliminate this way of thought, we can be a stronger and more knowledgeable country.

We can be a United States.

We can be fundamentalists.

Student Government actually helping students THE BOX DOES NOT EXIST Jana King Columnist My freshman year of college, I didn’t know much about the University. I knew even less about Student Government, with the exception that they handed out Scantrons.

I won’t even get into the obnoxious event that was the spring 2013 Student Government elections.

This year, however, I’m all smiles when it comes to those who are working to improve my experience as a University student.

You heard it right, folks.

Student Government seems to be making a comeback this year, with President John Woodard and Vice President Taylor Parks leading the way.

In the first four weeks of the semester, Woodard and Parks have already overseen many upgrades around campus.

Woodard’s first victory was the decision to continue the funding of a free Scantron program for students, which was reduced heavily in March by then SG President Taylor Cox. Cox cut the funding because University members abused the free Scantron program.

But those bright, young members of the Unite LSU ticket seem to have come in with their thinking caps on, as they were

able to sort out the pesky budgeting more efficiently than those who reigned before them.

In an amendment proposal to the SG programming, support and initiatives fund, they will reduce the red tape that often separates funds available to student organizations and those student organizations that should be benefiting from them.

Another feature of the University that will soon be made more accessible is room reservations in Middleton Library. In the near future, walking up to student workers in the library only to find out there are no more rooms

available will be a thing of the past.

Parks says that the goal is “to develop a program that ideally will allow students to reserve rooms online similarly to how students reserve seats in the Himes testing center.”

She went on to say that this program will more than likely be funded, at least in part, by SG. I, for one, look forward to the day when I can reserve a study room without fear of rejection.

With all of this talk of budget cuts, many get worried about a possible increase in the student fees to cover this.

Rest easy, students. SG has promised that raising the student fees in order to fund any of their initiatives is not an option.

There is also a project in the works to create a Career Services prep shop. This would allow students to rent business attire to wear to job interviews — cue the sigh of relief from those of you who only packed your Nike shorts and YOLO tanks.

Other projects in the works include the SG Bus Trip to Mississippi on Oct. 5 for the LSU football game against Mississippi State, Bike Day on Oct. 31 and “Ole War Skule Week” to

commemorate LSU’s military history in conjunction with the Texas A&M game.

We can all admit to ragging on our governing leaders for failing to provide what we see as necessary programs and resources for their people. When it comes to SG, most people write it off as just another popularity contest.

But I’ve been hearing good things coming from SG members, that the focus during their leadership retreat was to make our governing body less of a clique and more beneficial to campus.

My hope is that Woodard is only gaining momentum from his accomplishments so far and that he will continue to work to make these words true: “The LSU Student Government’s sole purpose is to serve the students at Louisiana State University.”
