Dereck Rovaris Sr. will leave his current position at the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans on July 1 to become the University’s new vice provost for diversity.

University Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell said the University does well with diversity but has room for improvement.

“Diversity broadly includes any of the differences amongst people,” Rovaris said. “We are responsible for increasing diversity and setting up a supportive environment.”

Rovaris said diversity may include, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender and religion. His position at the University will allow him to oversee the Office of Multicultural

FIFA World Cup takes Baton Rouge bars by storm Tommy Romanach Contributing Writer

A change swept through the state capital last weekend for the first time in four years. It is a sensation that causes typical Louisianans to suddenly care about soccer and turns even the novice soccer fan into an expert.

World Cup fever has returned to Baton Rouge.

“The World Cup is a lot like the Olympics in how big and important it is,” said history senior Will Thomas, who viewed most games at the Varsity Theatre. “For America, this is pretty much it for competing internationally, so this is pretty much the biggest thing.”

The World Cup began June 12, and Baton Rouge sports fans have packed local bars to watch the international tournament since the opening match. The tournament ends on July 13, and the attendance in bars is expected to remain high by many bar owners.

TRANSPORTATION

Campus transit operating under limited hours Buses now run until 12:30 a.m.

Paul Babineaux Contributing Writer

The University’s Campus Transit system implemented a schedule reduction of two and a half hours, which will park the buses at 12:30 a.m. rather than the typical end time of 3 a.m.

Campus Transit will continue to start service at 5:30 p.m., but the buses will end the night earlier than usual in order to better allocate resources and save students money this summer.

Brendan Copley, Student Government director of transportation, said the Transportation Services office proposed the idea

to SG and the administration after observing a dramatic decline in ridership over the previous two summers.

“There are approximately 50 Campus Transit riders each night, and typically, only two of the eight Campus Transit buses are used during the summer nights,” said Assistant Director of Parking and Transportation Eric Reid.

Reid said the decreased ridership of the summer, particularly in the later hours of the night, gave an opportunity to limit spending.

Copley agreed and said the change was driven by the objective of conserving Transit resources.

Campus Transit seemed to follow the lead of the University’s Tiger Trails transit system,

which has abbreviated or suspended bus services on certain holidays and the summer term for several years.

In fact, Tiger Trails, well known for its vital role in the safe delivery of University students to and from Tigerland, runs on an abbreviated summer schedule that finishes its routes at 6 p.m. In addition, Tiger Trails provides fewer buses per route during the summer than in fall or spring.

These summer transportation schedules will continue until Aug. 17, when the regular times and buses will go back into effect.

BAGHDAD (AP) — In a sign of Iran’s deepening involvement in the Iraqi crisis, the commander of Tehran’s elite Quds Force is helping Iraq’s military and Shiite militias gear up to fight the Sunni insurgents advancing across the country, officials said Monday.

Washington signaled a new willingness work with Iran to help the Iraqi government stave off the insurgency after years of trying to limit Tehran’s influence in Baghdad — a dramatic shift that would have been unthinkable a few weeks ago.

The U.S. is deploying up to 275 military troops to Iraq to protect the U.S. Embassy and other American interests and is considering sending a contingent of special forces soldiers. But the White House insisted anew the U.S. would not be sending combat troops and thrusting America into a new Iraq war.

The insurgents seized the strategic city of Tal Afar near the Syrian border Monday, part of its goal of linking areas under its control on both sides of the Iraq-Syria frontier. West of Baghdad, an army

The Quds Force commander, Iranian Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, has been consulting in Iraq on how to roll back the al-Qaida-breakaway group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, according to Iraqi security officials.

Soleimani’s presence in Iraq is likely to fuel longtime Sunni suspicions about the Shiite-led government’s close ties with Tehran.

The security officials said the U.S. government was notified before Soleimani’s visit.

Starbucks offering tuition breaks The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks is giving its baristas a shot at an online college degree, an unusual benefit in an industry where higher education is often out of reach for workers.

The coffee chain is partnering with Arizona State University to make an online undergraduate degree available at a steep discount to any of its 135,000 U.S. employees who work at least 20 hours a week.

The program underscores the predicament of many workers

who earn low wages, don’t have much job security and often hold down more than one job. It also highlights the stark disparities in advancement opportunities between the rich and poor, and how a traditional college education remains a near impossibility for so many.

At an event in New York City on Monday, CEO Howard Schultz told an audience of about 340 Starbucks workers and their guests that the issue was personal because he was the first in his family to attend college.

University facing tobacco-free future Policy to take effect in August Renee Barrow Staff Writer

In August, the University will officially be a tobacco-free campus, pending LSU President F. King Alexander’s signature.

“Every SEC school except [University of] Alabama has a smoke-free or tobacco-free policy in place,” said Judith Sylvester, Smoke Free Committee co-chair and associate professor of mass communication.

Sylvester said the initiative was originally intended to create a cigarette-free campus, but Gov. Bobby Jindal’s “Well-Ahead” initiative influenced the decision to move forward with a tobacco free policy.

The policy creates designated “Wellspots” across the state. According to the Well-Ahead website, colleges and universities may qualify for three different Wellspot levels. To qualify as a Level Three Wellspot, the University must have a tobacco free policy and fit two other facets of the program’s criteria. These facets may include creating a breast-feeding-friendly workplace and maintaining

vending machines with low-calorie snack options.

According to the website, tobacco-free constitutes prohibiting the use of cigarettes, cigars, any combustible tobacco product, smokeless tobacco, snus, dip, chew, orbs, any form of smoking object or device including electronic cigarettes and other forms.

Sylvester said there are health risks associated with electronic cigarettes which are not always highlighted to the public.

“There’s no standard for what has to be in those,” Sylvester said.

“It’s a tobacco industry solution on how to keep people smoking.”

Cameron Kelly, general manager of Smokecignals on Perkins Road, said this is a “silly accusation.”

“If that were the case, they’d be mass produced already by the cigarette companies,” Kelly said.

Kelly said Smokecignals uses specific recipes and ratios of nicotine in their products based on customers’ smoking habits.

There are four chemicals in Smokecignals’ “e-juice”, Kelly said – nicotine, two forms of propylene glycol for flavoring and vegetable glycerine.

Kelly said propylene glycol is used in food preservatives, skin care products such as lotion and asthma inhalers, and vegetable

glycerine is used in fog machines.

“Come in and talk to us,” Kelly said. “We’ll help direct you to the right information.”

Despite some dissenting student opinion, Sylvester said she believes being tobacco-free will eventually be accepted as the “social norm.”

indoor policy,” Sylvester said. “It’s just accepted that you can’t smoke indoors and people don’t.”

Sylvester said she understands the process is not that simple, but steps will be taken to create an immediate change. For example, the Business Education Complex has already removed their tobacco-related waste receptacles, and there

are plans to continue removing receptacles around campus.

The “social norm” idea will help members of the campus community police one another, Sylvester said.

LSU Residential Life is piloting a new move-in program for students living on campus.

The “Ship to Your Room” program will allow students to mail boxes of belongings during the summer and have them delivered to their on-campus rooms.

Catherine David, associate director of communications for ResLife, said the University is partnering with the vendor University and Student Services to bring the program to campus.

The program has been in the planning stages for months, with a launch date of fall 2014, David said.

Students can order shipping labels from the vendor for $35 each that will be sent electronically to students. There are no size or weight restrictions on boxes, David said, and when they

mail their boxes, the vendor will store them until the move-in date on campus.

The program does not cover shipping costs to the vendor’s storage facility, and students must pay for that themselves.

The $35 covers the storage of luggage and delivery to rooms on campus.

David said the program will be available to all on-campus residents. This means not only will residential halls and colleges carry the program, but campus apartments and Greek housing will be able to take advantage of Ship to Your Room.

Political science junior Sarah Couch said she is living in the Delta Zeta sorority house this fall, and the program sounds convenient.

“I live in Denver,” Couch said. “It’s usually a two-day drive to move in, and I pack as much into my car as I can.”

Couch said the price sounded steep initially, but when regular shipping and weight guidelines are factored in, students would be paying the same amount or possibly more to get their belongings to campus.

Ship to Your Room is supposed to save students from excessive baggage fees at airlines and driving long trips in cramped cars, David said.

Students can start shipping their luggage the week of July 28. As long as University and Students Services receives belongings by Aug. 11, items will be placed in rooms on Aug. 13.

Residential College One and the Horseshoe Community are exceptions to this, where belongings will be placed into rooms Aug. 19.

David said University and Student Services will also offer a summer storage program in 2015, so students will have a place to store their belongings during the summer.

STATE

Higher education budget sees increase Lauren Guillot Contributing Writer

For the first time since 2008, the Louisiana legislative session ended without budget cuts to Louisiana’s public colleges.

The budget for higher education will increase $109 million for fiscal year 2015, according to the Legislative Fiscal Office.

Over the past five years, Louisiana’s higher education budget has been cut by about 35 percent, according to an Illinois State University Grapevine study. The study reports Louisiana has had the most higher education budget cuts of all 50 states, about 10 percent more than the second highest state, Arizona.

According to the Legislative Fiscal Office, about $88 million of the increase is money the public colleges expect to receive from raised tuition. Although that will partially be covered by the state’s funds for the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students,

or TOPS, most of the $88 million will come from students’ fee bills.

University of Louisiana System President Sandra Woodley called the 2014 legislative session the “most successful legislative session our universities have seen in many years.”

“If we are able to sustain and build on this effort in future years, we will look back to this day as the starting point of a revitalization of Louisiana in which there is alignment between our work in higher education and our collective ambition to achieve a nationally competitive economy,” Woodley said in a news release.

at George’s, under the Perkins overpass, having a bite to eat and a few beers and saying how much we missed playing the game,” said Robert Montanaro, the Tigers’ Cofounder and Treasurer.

Former LSU punter Brad Wing honed his punting skills playing Australian football in his hometown of Melbourne. Passing and shooting the ball in requires punting the ball with pinpoint accuracy, which allowed Wing to develop the ability to pin opposing offenses deep within their own red zone.

Invented in 1858, Australian football was intended to be a way for Victorian cricketers to stay fit during Australia’s winter months.

The object of Aussie Rules is to kick the ball between two upright goal posts placed seven yards apart. Seven yards on either side of each of the posts are two shorter posts called “behind posts.” A kick through the goal posts will earn six points, while a kick that goes between a goal post and one of

The NCAA approved a waiver granting former LSU guard Anthony Hickey eligibility to play for Oklahoma State for the Hickey 2014-2015 season, the university announced Monday.

Hickey retained immediate eligibility because he was in good academic standing with the University and proved that dismissal from the team was not his choosing, and LSU submitted a waiver allowing him to transfer.

The Hopkinsville, Ky., native enrolled in summer school at Oklahoma State last Friday, according a report from the Tulsa World.

The junior guard started in 85 games during his three-year tenure in Baton Rouge, averaging 9.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. Hickey averaged 34.4 percent from behind the arc and led the Southeastern Conference with a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio in 2013-2014.

Twenty-four players jostle and fight for the ball, only to punt it across a large oval-shaped field.

Though it may be confusing at first, Australian football — commonly referred to as Aussie Rules or Footy — is a fast-paced, full-contact sport that is taking root in the U.S. in the form of the United States Australian Football League.

Tigers close strong season at championship in Eugene Will Cotchery II Contributing Writer

The LSU track and field teams finished the season strong as the Tigers tied for fourth place and the Lady Tigers placed sixth at the 2014 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Tori Bliss earned a silver medal and set a school record in women’s shot put with a throw of 57 feet 4.25 inches. She broke her own school record of 56 feet 9.25 inches she set in early May in Baton Rouge.

Bliss became the first Lady Tiger in 20 years to receive All-America honors in the shot put and only the fourth to earn such honors in program history.

“It felt effortless,” Bliss said in a news release. “That’s something that a big throw should feel like. It was

just amazing. As soon as it left my hands, I could kind of tell that it was a big throw.”

In her final competition as a Tiger, Jasmin Stowers had the fastest time in LSU history in the women’s 100-meter hurdles, finishing in 12.54 seconds to claim a silver medal at the championships.

The Lady Tigers tallied 34 points during the championships to finish behind Texas A&M, Texas, Oregon, Florida and Georgia.

The Tigers scored 29 points over the weekend to tie Southern California for fourth place in the overall Championship standings.

LSU finished behind Oregon, Florida and Texas A&M. The men clinched a bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay Saturday. Their third-place finish in the relay bumped the Tigers up to eighth place, the first time they were in the

top 10 all weekend.

Junior Aaron Ernest finished fourth place in the men’s 200-meter dash to add five more points to the Tigers’ team standings. Ernest previously appeared in the 200 meters at the NCAA outdoors as a freshman in the 2012 season.

“I’m so very proud of the effort showed by our athletes and our staff over the seven days of this NCAA track meet,” said LSU coach Dennis Shaver. “These last four days have really shown how hard we’ve worked as a team since the very start of fall training to perform at our very best when it mattered the most. I’m proud of everyone for the effort they gave our program here this weekend.”

Millenials should be more open to the world JACKSON SQUARE Joshua Jackson Staff Writer The world of politics is often depicted as a battlefield of questionable decisions, conspiracy and corruption. Based on the way the media portrays the political realm, many young adults have decided to ignore it altogether and the repercussions are severe.

After a day of classes, work and other extra-curricular activities the last thing I want to do is watch the news and hear about who has died recently or what Bobby Jindal has done to cause so many to be upset. Despite those feelings, I tune into the news or read about current events because it keeps me plugged in to the world – a world that I will be a part of soon.

Many of the subjects young adults find themselves apathetic toward are the very topics that have an impact on their lives.

Smaller things, like traffic reports and information on construction zones, can make one’s life much easier. Stories on political corruption remind people that they should be careful about who they elect and support. Political campaign coverage exists to display a candidate’s goals and ideals, which allow viewers to determine if those ideals align with their own.

Call it boring but when tuition rates increase there are

multiple media outlets available to explain why it happened. Special scholarships, information on job markets and student loans are all readily available if a person is willing to sift through uninteresting subjects.

For our generation, the excuse, “no one ever told me” becomes unacceptable. Between the Internet, phone, radio and actual television the millennial generation is submerged in the news. Future bosses may ask for an opinion on a major issue and if you don’t know what you’re talking about, that open-mouthed lost face can become permanent.

The reasoning behind avoiding hard news boils down to young adults trying to run away from the real world and its issues. An article on renewable resources may not be the most entertaining piece to some, but the information can educate much more than an episode of “Scandal” or “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

There’s nothing wrong with taking in entertaining media. The ability to escape adult life for a while is something that, while great, should not be abused.

Running from the heavier topics can result in a jaded view of the world. We base so much of what we know on the knowledge of others instead of researching and forming our own opinions.

Late Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs suggested that every person have the courage to form their own opinion despite how unpopular it may be.

of investigating the unknown even more. Most of the time when we say we don’t care about something, it truly means that we do not know enough about the subject to care, and that should change.

The world is changing, and for a generation that prides itself on being open-minded, we sure know how to close our minds to what we think doesn’t matter.

The millennial age group should take this chance to step outside of

its comfort zone and learn about the world around it before the world drowns out its voice.

Embrace technological changes in restaurants BUT HE MEANS WELL Gordon Brillon Managing Editor I went to Chili’s a few weeks ago. Rookie mistake, I know.

But my girlfriend and I were preparing for a road trip and were desperate for any kind of sustenance.

We walked in, and, as no one greeted us at the entrance, just sort of wandered to a nearby table with what appeared to be an iPad anchored to its top. I was confused until the tablet’s screen flashed to life and started telling us about the fabulous deals available on a variety of pseudo-Mexican dishes.

Chili’s recently installed 45,000 tablets in its restaurants across the country to help facilitate ordering and in-restaurant advertising, and presumably to give you something to fiddle

around with so you don’t have to talk to the people at your table.

At first, I was a little disgusted. It seemed such a barefaced affront to everything that restaurants and the entire dining ritual are about.

“What happened to hospitality?” I thought, remembering the empty host’s podium and blaring TVs that greeted us. “What happened to the kindly server who calls you ‘hun’ and knows what you’re going to order before asking? What happened to ‘the usual?’”

It made me a little sick at first. But I’m not a Luddite.

Tablets are fantastic pieces of technology that can really augment the way we think and act in our daily lives. I’ve met grade schoolers who are just as, if not more, fluent with a touchscreen as with a pen and paper.

And sitting in that restaurant, it was pretty great to punch in my order and have it arrive at my table within 10 minutes,

all while never having a waiter interrupt table conversation.

The fact that the tablet didn’t tell me it was happy hour and the waiter surprised me with an extra Sam Adams was just the cherry.

Because really, who goes to

Chili’s for the great service? We go there because it’s easy, the food’s not terrible and we know we’ll be out of there within the hour.

We shouldn’t hold it against Chili’s that they’ve found their niche and now they’re exploiting

it to the best of their resources.

If you want an interesting cast of characters, you can go to Louie’s. If you want great food, you can go to Juban’s. If you want great Mexican food, well, you’re in the wrong city.

If Chili’s wants to become a modern automat, one of those crazy future dreams of the ’50s where business travelers gathered for microwaved hamburgers served via conveyor belt, I say let them.

To borrow a phrase from Don Draper, change is neither good nor bad. It just is.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS Tobacco-free policy ignores deeper issues

THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

Cameron Kelley, manager of the Baton Rouge e-cigarette shop Smokecignals, exhales electronic cigarette vapor.

OFF WITH HER HEAD

JANA KING Contributing Writer Students returning to LSU this fall will be greeted with bright, shiny new non-smoking signs and the always-helpful University police encouraging them to quit our community’s most common vice. At least that’s how Louisiana legislators are imagining it will go.

But realistically that’s not how things happen on campus.

If you light up on Aug. 1 you’ll be tapped on the shoulder by a stern campus police officer who will gesture towards a smokefree campus sign and hand you a ticket.

Associate professor Judith Sylvester told The Advocate that she considers herself to be

realistic as she leads efforts on campus. She hopes to eliminate use of all forms of tobacco, not just those which infringe an individual’s right to clean air. This option was included in the law.

I agree with Sylvester and her supporters: it’s going to do the University some good. It’ll be a great way to convince parents to send their children to a college that allows its students to be harassed by non-university affiliated protesters in Free Speech Plaza.

Sure, your kids will be told they’re going to hell because they’re studying evolution, but look around. Do you see a cigarette butt anywhere? Nope, not one!

Supporters in the LSU community are pushing it as a way to improve campus health, saying that the policy will encourage smokers to quit the addictive habit. But if the average student

attends 15 hours of class each week, who’s going to slap the cigarette out of their hand during the other 153 hours of the week?

How will they be able to stop unless we put one of those flashy non-smoking signs in each one of their homes?

Sylvester cited a decline in smoking at LSU in the early 2000s leading up to Hurricane Katrina and tuition increases which she claims added stress to the students. This stress led to an increase in smoking.

As someone who is not a regular smoker, but has friends who are, I can see the truth in her statements. LSU students are stressed, and it needs to be addressed.

Instead of taking away a vice that keeps them going in an extreme high-stress setting, why not work to increase staff availability in the Mental Health Service? This could cut down on

the wait time that students face when making an appointment to see a psychiatrist, thereby cutting down on the use of cigarettes as a short term solution to stress.

But we don’t actually care about the student’s health enough to come up with a long-term solution. We want our air to smell fresh and our grounds to stay well-manicured so that we can pull in more money for the University.

LSU President F. King Alexander has yet to officially sign off on the tobacco-free policy, and I hope for the sake of the students on this campus that he decides against it. Limit the areas in which smoking is allowed on campus, but don’t force an already stressed student to run to the edge of campus to calm their nerves.

The students of LSU are not children who need to be scolded

when they make poor choices.

We are adults. We can vote, we can fight for our country and we can smoke cigarettes. If LSU begins to treat us like elementary school students again, they may as well create a uniform policy and have us walk in lines through the hallways.

If it is legal for us to consume tobacco, let us consume tobacco.

While it’s reasonable to limit the areas on campus that are affected by the air pollution, banning all forms of tobacco entirely is taking it too far.

LSU’s 10 best sports teams ever WHERE THERE’S A WILL Will Cotchery II Contributing Writer NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune recently posted an article asking for fans’ opinions on the greatest sports teams in Louisiana history. LSU had the strongest presence with 18 of the 37 spots.

Below are my top 10 LSU teams of all time. Because the baseball and track programs have such a rich, championship pedigree, trying to squeeze individual teams in 10 slots was difficult. Sorting out the top football and basketball teams was an easier task.

1. 2003 football When Tiger fans reminisce about this team, they cannot help but think about the infamous coach Nick Saban. But on the field, LSU crushed its opponents by scoring 33.9 points per game while its dominant defense allowed 11 points per contest.

The Tigers knocked off five ranked teams, including Oklahoma, in the national championship game to finish the season 13-1. The victory ended the school’s 45-year national championship drought.

2. 1958 football Led by LSU legend Billy Cannon, the Tigers defeated three ranked teams, including No. 12 Clemson, to give the school its first championship in football. LSU averaged 25.6 points per game and allowed only 4.8 points per game throughout its unblemished 11-0 campaign.

3. 2003 women’s track and field The Lady Tigers boast the most storied program at LSU with 25 combined championships between indoor and outdoor competitions. Muna Lee, who has the most

NCAA titles in school history, with seven, carried the Lady Tigers.

4. 1997 baseball LSU won an SEC record 57 games and clinched its fourth championship in the 1990s to become the first team to win back-toback titles since Stanford in 1987 and 1988. Skip Bertman joined USC’s Rod Dedeaux as the only coaches to win four College World Series championships.

5. 2011 football If not for its poor showing in the title game, this would’ve been the greatest LSU team ever.

The Tigers rolled to a 13-0 start and beat eight ranked opponents to face off in a rematch with Alabama for the national championship. But the Saban-coached Crimson Tide clobbered LSU to dash its national title hopes.

6. 2002 men’s track and field With six combined championships, this group can easily be in the top five. The only thing holding the Tigers back is their titles are spaced out through four decades.

Eight-time All-American Robert Parham was the highlight of this outdoor squad.

7. 2007 football If this list was based on cardiac arrests and close calls, this team would hold the top spot.

Playing in two triple-overtime games, winning exhilarating contests and earning the school’s third football championship was the perfect way to conclude arguably the wildest season in the history of college football. LSU became the first school to win two titles during the BCS era.

8. Women’s basketball — Pokey Chatman era After Sue Gunter concluded her Hall of Fame coaching career, Chatman immediately made an

impact by leading the Lady Tigers to three consecutive Final Four appearances from 2004 to 2006, with a combined 106-19 record. Despite these consecutive berths, the ladies failed to capture a championship.

This era featured current WNBA stars Seimone Augustus, Sylvia Fowles and Tameka Johnson.

9. 1980-1981 basketball Legendary coach Dale Brown led the basketball squad to a 31-5 record, including a school record 26-game winning streak, en route to LSU’s second Final Four appearance. This season remains the winningest campaign in Tigers basketball history.

The former Kentucky Mr. Basketball will be replaced by Tim Quarterman, who averaged 2.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his freshman campaign, and Keith Hornsby, who was ineligible to play in 2013-2014

after transferring from North Carolina-Asheville.

LSU added guards Jalyn Patterson and junior college transfer Josh Gray in this year’s recruiting class. Gray averaged 33.8 points, 5.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game for Odessa College (Texas) this season.

10. 2005-2006 basketball For a team made up of nine underclassmen – seven of whom were freshmen – the Tigers had a surprisingly stellar season, finishing 27-9 and clinching their first Final Four berth in 20 years.

SEC Player of the Year Glen Davis led the Tigers in scoring (18.6) and rebounding (9.7).

“Anyone that has ever done something and is looking for something else to do because the opportunities in whatever the sport they played before are now diminished or non-existent, give this a go,” said Ryan. “This is going to fill a void in your life.”

A club team on campus would not only grow the game at a collegiate level, but also give the Baton Rouge Tigers a team with which to practice and a larger pool of players to draw from for the national tournament at the end of the season in October.

“We would love to get a club team going or an intramural competition going here at the school” Ryan said. “So we just need to expose it to some of the students, we absolutely know that they would love to play it.”
