University releases statement regarding DKE fraternity sign Fernanda Zamudio-Suarez Staff Writer

After the University’s chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity made national news for its banner mocking the 1970 Kent State massacre, LSU is working with the fraternity’s local and national leaders to determine the best course of action.

The sign, hung before Saturday’s football game against Kent State read, “Getting massacred is nothing new to Kent St.,” and was immediately taken down when the LSU Police Department visited the house after receiving a complaint.

“LSU certainly does not condone this insensitive behavior and poor judgment by the Delta Kappa

Epsilon fraternity,” the University said in a statement Monday. “LSU officials have spoken with the fraternity and believe that the students now understand the gravity of their actions.”

University Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard said there are ongoing conversations between the University and national and local fraternity leaders.

Additionally, Alumni Association of the Zeta Zeta Chapter of DKE issued this statement: “In consultation with the national office of DKE and the university, we are looking into the actions of the active chapter and will take appropriate disciplinary action.

The chapter has already apologized

to the Kent State community and is working with the alumni, national headquarters and the University to establish safeguards to ensure something like this doesn’t happen in the future.”

The University’s chapter of the fraternity issued an apology Sunday.

“We hope that the Kent State community can 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.”

INTERNATIONAL 13-year-old Indian girl begins work toward microbiology master’s LUCKNOW, India (AP) — In a country where many girls are still discouraged from going to school, Sushma Verma is having anything but a typical childhood.

The 13-year-old girl from a poor family in north India has enrolled in a master’s degree in microbiology, after her father sold his land to pay for some of his daughter’s tuition in the hope of catapulting her into India’s growing middle class.

Verma finished high school at 7 and earned an undergraduate degree at age 13.

Greece: high schools shut, civil servants’ union calls for 2-day strike ATHENS (AP) — Greek police used pepper spray against suspended school guards Monday as high schools around the country shut down at the start of a week of strikes protesting public job cuts.

The Greek government job cuts, part of austerity measures demanded by creditors in return for bailout loans, have triggered rolling weekly strikes by teachers at state high schools. The country’s main civil servants’ union, meanwhile, has called for a two-day public sector strike for Wednesday and Thursday.

The U.S., Britain and France jumped on evidence in the report — especially the type of rockets, the composition of the sarin agent, and trajectory of the missiles — to declare that President Bashar Assad’s government was responsible.

More than $200,000 funded by students’ fee bills was allocated for various University technology improvements like new laptops in Middleton Library, the Student Technology Fee Committee decided Monday afternoon.

While the library already has computers that students can check out, higher enrollment numbers have increased the demand for laptops, especially MacBooks, which will be the majority of the newly purchased items, said Director of Information Technology Services Michael Smith.

The new laptops will cost $32,000.

While great strides have been made to combat racism in the current age, those who attended Delta Sigma Theta sorority’s “Confronting Racism and Promoting Respect” panel Monday night said while much has been accomplished, racism is still a problem.

Delta Sigma Theta, the first predominately black sorority founded at the University, hosted the event as a way to continue bringing light to racial issues like stereotyping.

Throughout the discussion, the students in attendance and members of the panel said racism has affected each of their lives in some way.

Herman Kelly Jr., panelist at the event and adjunct instructor of African and African American Studies at the University, expressed special concern about changes to the Voting Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and guaranteed voting rights for all Americans. Recently, a Supreme Court decision struck down parts of the law that required certain areas of the country, deemed to have historical problems with racism — most notably southern states — to have the federal government oversee the election process.

The court ruled that enough has changed in the last 60 years and that part of the law is no longer necessary. Kelly said this change makes him uncomfortable.

“We need to be careful with changing the act,” Kelly said. “People died for those changes and taking away from that is dangerous.”

Angeletta Gourdine, English associate professor, said racism is not something that ever will be eradicated completely and society can’t pretend the subject is easy to solve.

The panel also discussed the problems of prejudices and stereotypes that have been passed from generation to generation.

“Stereotypes are dangerous,” she said. “But how you use stereotypes can make them even more dangerous. … Sometimes we are unknowingly complicit in the creation of stereotypes and how those stereotypes affect our lives.”

Ultimately the members of the panel and the student audience agreed racism is an issue that cannot be eradicated. Confronting the issue with discussion and respect is the only way to make positive changes.

Lombardo said undergraduates will be cleared for key access to buildings on an individual basis, clarifying one of the most contentious parts of the policy regarding undergraduates having keys.

Vince LiCata, professor, faculty senator and a sponsor of the key procedure re-evaluation resolution, said Facility Services should sit down with departments to discuss what is realistic about increasing security. According to LiCata, the first draft of the policy would cause more difficulties.

“This policy is not different than other research institutions of our size, and often others are more restrictive,” Lombardo said.

13 killed in Washington Navy Yard shooting rampage The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy reservist went on a shooting rampage Monday inside a building at the heavily secured Washington Navy Yard, firing from a balcony onto office workers in the cafeteria below, authorities and witnesses said. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman.

Authorities said they were looking for a possible second attacker who may have been disguised in an olive-drab military-style uniform.

But as the day wore on and night fell, the rampage increasingly appeared to be the work of a lone gunman, and Navy Yard employees were gradually being released from the complex and children were let out of their locked-down schools.

Investigators said they had not established a motive for the attack, which unfolded about 8:20 a.m. in the heart of the nation’s capital, less than four miles from the White House and two miles from the Capitol.

As for whether it may have been a terrorist attack, Mayor Vincent Gray said: “We don’t have any reason to think that at this stage.”

But he said the possibility had not been ruled out.

It was the deadliest shooting rampage at a U.S.-based military installation since Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas. He was convicted last month and sentenced to death.

President Barack Obama lamented yet another mass shooting

in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American patriots. He promised to make sure “whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.”

The FBI took charge of the investigation and identified the gunman killed in the attack as 34-yearold Aaron Alexis of Texas. He died after a running gunbattle with police, investigators said.

Authorities were investigating how he got onto the base. Officials said he may have had a badge that allowed access.

At the time of the rampage, he was working in information technology with a company that was a Defense Department subcontractor.

Alexis was a full-time Navy reservist from 2007 to early 2011, leaving as a petty officer third class, the Navy said. It did not say why he left. He had been an aviation electrician’s mate with a unit in Fort Worth, Texas.

Patricia Ward, a logistics-management specialist, said she was in the cafeteria getting breakfast.

“It was three gunshots straight in a row — pop, pop, pop. Three seconds later, it was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, so it was like about a total of seven gunshots, and we just started running,” Ward said.

In addition to those killed, more than a dozen people were hurt, including a police officer and two female civilians who were shot and wounded. They were all expected to survive.

The Washington Navy Yard is a sprawling labyrinth of buildings and streets protected by

armed guards and metal detectors, and employees have to show their IDs at doors and gates to come and go. About 20,000 people work there.

The rampage took place at Building 197, the headquarters for Naval Sea Systems Command, which buys, builds and maintains ships, submarines and combat systems. About 3,000 people work at headquarters, many of them civilians.

Witnesses described a gunman opening fire from a fourth-floor overlook, aiming down on people in the cafeteria on the main floor. Others said a gunman fired at them in a third-floor hallway.

Todd Brundidge, an executive assistant with Navy Sea Systems Command, said he and other coworkers encountered a gunman in a long hallway on the third floor.

The gunman was wearing all blue, he said.

“He just turned and started firing,” Brundidge said.

Terrie Durham, an executive assistant with the same agency, said

the gunman fired toward her and Brundidge.

“He aimed high and missed,” she said. “He said nothing. As soon as I realized he was shooting, we just said, ‘Get out of the building.’”

Police would not give any details on the gunman’s weaponry,

but witnesses said the man they saw had a long gun — which can mean a rifle or a shotgun.

James Moran Sports Columnist They are trying to regulate the tackle out of tackle football, and it’s appalling.

Rules designed to increase player safety have been a growing part of football for years now. Research has proven concussions are a serious issue and steps needed to be taken, but a series of penalties called in college and NFL games last weekend proves that it has been taken too far.

The first occurred Saturday afternoon in College Station, as time had to be taken away from the brilliant rematch of Nick Saban and Johnny Manziel to deal with a laughable penalty called against Alabama.

Tide safety HaHa Clinton-Dix attempted to intercept a Johnny Football pass down the left sideline.

When he jumped to catch the ball, he made contact with Aggie wide receiver Derel Walker and the pass fell incomplete.

Flags flew, Texas A&M was awarded a 15-yard penalty and Clinton-Dix was ejected under the NCAA’s brand new targeting rule.

Instant replay allowed Clinton-Dix to re-enter the game, but the 15-yard penalty stood.

Tiger rush defense improves; still has work to do Defense faces tough test against Auburn Trey Labat Sports Contributor

ANGELA MAJOR / The Daily Reveille

LSU junior defensive tackle Ego Ferguson (9) blocks Kent State senior Richard Gray (34) Saturday during the Tigers’ 45-13 victory against Kent State in Tiger Stadium.

LSU has been known more for its defense than its offense during the Les Miles era.

More specifically, the Tigers’ rushing defense has been the hallmark of the John Chavis-led unit, ranking in the top-five defenses of the Southeastern Conference in four of the last five seasons.

But the paradigm has shifted this year.

New offensive coordinator Cam Cameron’s offense is off to a hot start in the Tigers’ undefeated season, but the defense — especially the run defense — hasn’t reached

the dominant level fans have been used to in the past couple of years.

The defense allowed 111 rushing yards per game and 332 total rushing yards through the first three games. The Tigers’ opponents have combined to win only two games on the year through the first three weeks of the season.

The Tigers gave up only 227 yards on the ground through the first four games last season.

A contributing factor to the decline could be that the Tigers lost all four starters across a defensive line ranked among the nation’s elite last season. The defensive line had a stuff rate of nearly 25 percent of opposing running plays, which put it among the top 15 in the nation. Stuff rate is the percentage of running plays the defensive line stopped in the back field.

The defense did step up during

the blowout of Kent State on Saturday. The Tigers gave up only 58 yards on the ground, but the Golden Flashes were without their best player, senior playmaker Dri Archer.

“We just went out there more focused and more prepared,” said sophomore linebacker Kwon Alexander. “We’re trying to be the No. 1 defense this year, so we’ll continue to work on it.”

Miles said junior defensive tackle Ego Ferguson stepped up to the plate for the defense during the Kent State game. Ferguson contributed eight tackles and was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week.

LSU will have a tough test defending the run in its first SEC game of the season against Auburn on Saturday.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Offense strives for improved performance against Auburn

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

FOOTBALL

Tyler Nunez Sports Writer

The LSU football team will get its first taste of Southeastern Conference play on Saturday against a fast-paced Auburn team averaging 440 yards of offense and 31 points per game.

LSU struggled on offense in its 12-10 victory at Auburn in 2012. If both teams continue the trends set in their first three games, this season’s meeting may have a drastically different outcome.

“I know a lot of guys are excited, including myself and the coaching staff,” said LSU junior receiver Jarvis Landry. “We averaging around 60 plays right now.

We want to get in the high-70s or 80s range. Hopefully, [Auburn] gives us the chance to get a few more play calls.”

Landry also said he looks forward to feeding off the energy of the crowd in Tiger Stadium.

“I remember the atmosphere down there in Auburn and the excitement and intensity that those guys brought,” Landry said. “This time, being in Baton Rouge, hopefully we get a chance to do the same thing and come out with a [win].”

MAGEE LEADS TIGERS IN RUSHING Junior running back Terrence Magee has emerged as a more than legitimate rushing threat. His 212 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries make him the Tigers’ leading rusher heading into SEC play.

Magee’s success came as no surprise to LSU coach Les Miles, who said the staff was just waiting for him to get his chance.

Les Miles speaks to reporters at Lunch with Les on Sept. 9 in the Moran Family Center for Athletics Administration Building.

ANGELA MAJOR / The Daily Reveille

LSU senior linebacker Lamin Barrow (18) is injured Saturday in the Tigers’ 45-13 victory against Kent State.

Miles called the Franklinton native a tough runner and gushed over his ability to read plays before they fully develop.

Magee said he is happy to have the opportunity to help his team. He credited his performance this season with the improvement of the offensive line and the diverse group of talented backs he plays with.

“We have a bunch of great backs, and at any moment, a guy can get in there and go to the house,” Magee said. “Just to be mentioned with [sophomore running back Jeremy Hill and senior running back Alfred Blue] is an honor.”

OFFENSE GOOD, BUT NOT PERFECT LSU’s offense has made

tremendous strides since last season, but lost fumbles and penalties continue to plague the Tigers.

The Tigers have lost a fumble in all of their games this season, all of which led to points for the opposing team.

Miles said these are mistakes that could cost his team if they continue to occur in conference play.

“We set a goal as an offense to have no turnovers,” Magee said.

“Three weeks in a row we have failed to do that. There is always a big emphasis on that, but I am pretty sure there is going to be a lot more this week.”

LSU prepares for conference play Mike Gegenheimer Sports Writer

Saturday’s game against Auburn marks the opening of conference play for the LSU football team, making Monday’s Lunch with Les the first Southeastern Conference news conference of the year.

“You better be ready,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “It’s going to be a highly contested, very competitive game. It generally goes down to the end. If you enjoy competition at the very highest level, you love these games.”

Auburn marks the first primarily up-tempo offense the Tigers will face this season, and LSU is changing things up in practice to get ready to defend the onslaught, Miles said.

The Tigers devote a period of practice each day to training for the physical demands of the up-tempo

offense — something Miles said began about two springs ago.

“Ready is the issue,” Miles said.

“You have to make sure that the call is in, communications is done and we’re ready, and we’re not paused to communicate, but in fact we are feet north and south, keyed in on our responsibility and ready to play. I look forward to that.”

Miles credited the Auburn defense as well, saying he doesn’t believe the 17 points and 433 yards per game are reminiscent of how good the unit actually is.

He also commented on several player injuries, saying freshman defensive back Tre’Davious White, senior safety Craig Loston and senior linebacker Lamin Barrow should play this weekend.

Barrow and White both left last week’s game against Kent State early with minor injuries while Loston missed the entirety of Saturday’s game after sustaining a leg injury against UAB the previous week.

Miles said Loston probably could’ve returned to the field last week, but he felt more rest would be beneficial. The same goes for Barrow, who could have returned to the game, but the coaches decided to err on the side of caution.

“Lamin Barrow could have gone back in the game probably within about five, seven minutes,” Miles said. “He’ll practice today.

And, to be honest with you, I don’t know that there will be anybody that misses practice today.”

GOING GREEN “Fifty Local funk band looks forward to regional tour

Samantha Bares Entertainment Writer

CONNOR TARTER / The Daily Reveille

Former University student Robert “Bob” Kling, bassist for intergalactic space funk band Captain Green, jams on stage Saturday at The Spanish Moon.

Shades” backlash misaimed

Except for practices and performances, local seven-piece funk band Captain Green is hard to get together in one room. The band roster has evolved since 2010; three of the members available for interview have been in the band since the beginning, while one joined in February 2013.

Along with an expanding roster, the band has also set its sights on bigger and bigger audiences.

Captain Green began a regional tour this summer, a change of pace from the typically smaller venues the band is used to playing.

Saxophonist and University alumnus Darin Jones said the origin of the band was just as scattered and chaotic. He said it was created as a casual outlet for the members who were studying music at the University, but bassist and former University student Robert “Bob” Kling said his bandmates all tell the story differently.

“In 2010, I had a resolution to start a band that would work for me,” keyboardist and former University student Ross Hoppe said. Hoppe said hard work helped propel the band to something more than a hobby, adding that most of the members try to make a living solely from music. On the side, he gives music lessons on anything — specific songs, instruments or overall style.

“Everywhere Is Where It’s At,” the band’s first studio album, was cut in 2011 and released in May 2012. There are only seven words on the whole album: “Live from Baton Rouge, it’s Captain Green.”

Hoppe said the band expects another album in a year.

Chris “Katt” Lee joined Captain Green earlier this year, at the request of Jones and Kling.

A staple in the local music scene, Lee has been the drummer for The Michael Foster Project, among other bands, and describes his role in Captain Green as “drummer, vocalist, beatboxer, comic book expert, video game guru and all-around dirty old man.”

“I’ve got the best job. I sit down and hit stuff until I feel better. I’ve been doing that for 20 years,” Lee said.

“If u think Twilight mania was ridic, jus wait til the 50 Shades movie comes out...seeing all those screamin horny moms *shudders*,” said Twitter user @JheanBunni, obviously a noted philosopher and pop culture Kaci Yoder Entertainment Editor anthropologist.

With the announcement of Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson stepping into the lead roles for the upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie adaptation, the same old complaints about the books have come back in full force. And frankly, I’m bored.

From what I’ve seen, most of the backlash toward “Fifty Shades” has come from people appalled and disgusted by the “horny mom” demographic that seems to make up a large part of the book’s fanbase.

The world loves silver foxes — the Daniel Craigs of the world who keep stripping down to their underwear and strutting around with 20-something arm candy even as they enter their 40s, 50s and beyond.

The 52-year-old George Clooney could be wearing a Life Alert necklace with his Armani suit, and People Magazine would still give him top-hunk billing.

BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY

Locals choose bars over mainstream trivia apps Katie Daigrepont Entertainment Writer

Between bars and network television, trivia has become America’s new pastime. People seem to like proving their knowledge in a competitive, fast-paced environment.

But is it the challenge of answering questions at a quick pace that gets people excited about trivia, or the growing popularity of local bar trivia with friends?

NBC’s new multi-platform trivia show “The Million Second Quiz” is all about the competition. As the show airs, viewers can play along on

their smartphones with an accompanying application.

Local trivia host Michael Hatfield has seen the trivia craze grow tremendously in Baton Rouge since he began emceeing the competitions six years ago. Bar trivia took off, he said, after other businesses saw the success of The Chimes’ Trivia Night.

But Hatfield said he doesn’t see a parallel between trivia players of TMSQ app and players at trivia nights. Although he gets some die-hard trivia fans, he said most of his customers are casual players who are fans of the bar, more so than trivia.

Today, he runs “Let’s Get Quizzical” Trivia Nights, hosted by MonkeyBR.com, at The Chimes on Highland Road, The Cove at Citiplace Court, Port Royal on College Drive and The Bulldog on Perkins Road.

From University students to professionals, it’s the atmosphere of the night that draws a diverse crowd to trivia, he said. Over the years, Hatfield said he has seen many new friendships develop and even one marriage proposal.

Game day fashion has rules to follow MY FIVE CENTS Sarah Nickel Entertainment Writer LSU football Saturdays are here again, and with each weekend comes the game day checklist.

Ride? Check. Ice chest? Check.

Purple and gold wardrobe? Ehhh.

For guys, it’s easy. The biggest challenge they face is the choice between boat shoes or flip-flops.

Slip on the favorite khakis or blue jeans with a purple or gold shirt.

Done. Maybe they’ll get a little crazy and wear a jersey or some spirited bright yellow pants, but either way, the guys are going to stick to the same basic wardrobe they rock every season.

For girls, it’s different. Getting ready for game day can be a process. Some keep it simple like the guys with basic tees and shorts, but others waste valuable tailgate time stressing about their fashion.

The key is to accept the fact that someone else will always be wearing what you’re wearing and keep a few important rules in mind.

1. Heels are a no.

Yes, even wedges. Why torture yourself? From the Parade Ground to Cox and back again, the day quickly becomes a walka-thon. Losing the shoes dancing to Serranos’ band is perfectly acceptable, but not at noon under the tailgate tent because a poor choice was made. Put on the ol’ faithful sandals or boots and enjoy.

2. Get your prints right.

We are not the leopards. We are not the cheetahs. We are the Tigers. So if you’re going to go animal print on game day, get yourself some tiger stripes. This no-no drives me especially nuts because I am legitimately concerned about whether girls know the difference between the members of the feline kingdom. It’s a little scary.

3. Be wary of the heat.

This is Louisiana. Of all the football season perks, most people would agree the 99 degree heat is

not one of them. Soon the time of sweater dresses and blue jeans will be upon us, but not quite, so dress appropriately. Sweating will occur, so take care of that business as best you can by avoiding the wrong colors, anything tight or a lack of antiperspirant.

4. Sunglasses: don’t forget them.

This one goes for both the guys and the gals. Shades actually serve more than one purpose on game day. First of all, the obvious — protecting eyes from the piercing sun rays that flood Tiger Stadium. Secondly, shielding those lazy eyes that start to droop as the ice chests begin to empty. No one wants to run into Great Aunt SoAnd-So and have her ask, “Are you feeling OK?” Family embarrassment while buzzed is easily avoided when sunglasses are on deck.

5. Stick with a smaller purse.

Downsize that piece of luggage people call a purse for the day.

Cross-bodies are ideal. They fit the necessities, stay close and basically can’t be lost. Unless there’s a willing friend around, a semi-giant purse is not on the list of things to take into a Porta Potty. Face the facts: eventually the seal will be broken.

Aside from my short tiger stripe rant, these rules are for the comfort of all Tiger tailgaters. The day is not a fashion show, although looking cute never hurt anyone.

The main focus is to stay comfortable in order to maximize the day’s fun. No one wants to have to find a ride (or walk, yikes) home because, “My shoes are just killing me!” or “My sweat spots are insane!” or possibly the worst, “I dropped my purse ... in the Porta Potty.”

Go ahead. Get happy and stay happy all day, because it’s game day.

wants you to even appear to have a sex life. Why is it that one of the most proclaimed male sex symbols qualifies for AARP, but older women have to pretend to be celibate?

Let horny moms be horny moms. Your mom has had sex at least once, so you’d might as well get over it, kiddo.

So how about we spend less time shaming women for expressing and enjoying sexuality and instead focus on the real problem? Namely, that the books are unforgivably, hideously, nauseatingly terrible.

Setting aside the books’ promotion of an abusive relationship as something that readers should root for — “Twilight” did that years ago, and considering “Fifty Shades” started out as “Twilight” fanfiction, it’s not surprising — the writing makes me wish I could unlearn how to read.

Here’s an actual quote, in case you haven’t read any of the series: “My inner goddess is beside herself, hopping from foot to foot.

Anticipation hangs heavy over my head like a dark tropical storm cloud. Butterflies flood my belly — as well as a darker, carnal, captivating ache as I try to imagine what he will do to me.”

Yeah. It’s that bad.

The whole series is full of this kind of flowery, obnoxious, overindulgent prose. The narrator is a tedious and unrealistically naive drip who can’t ever bring herself to call any part of the sexual anatomy by its actual name. It’s okay, you can say it: penis. See? Just a word. It’s not so bad. Here it is in newsprint, and the world hasn’t ended. Congrats, E. L. James, you’ve written explicit erotica that’s still somehow afraid of the word “penis.”

Surely, we as a species have better taste than this.

If you want to read porn, I say go for it. That’s great. In fact, it’s actually pretty cool that a worldwide bestseller has come along and opened up so much conversation about sex, especially among women.

But if people are going to pay to read porn, it should be good porn.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is not good porn. And let’s be honest here — we all know there is better stuff than this on the Internet for free.

I know it’s not kosher to encourage Internet piracy, but the fact remains that there are plenty of ways to get any of the “Fifty Shades” books at no cost. There’s no need to waste your hard-earned cash on bad, softcore BDSM porn. If you absolutely have to read it, find a PDF online or borrow it from a friend who makes worse life decisions than you do. Just don’t pay for it.

Trust me, I’m just as tired of “Fifty Shades” as the rest of the critics. But let’s keep the criticism in the realm of what’s actually relevant.

Hate the series because that kind of drivel should never have gotten a publishing deal, not because you feel awkward about your aunt having them on her Kindle.

CAPTAIN GREEN, from page 7

As the oldest and most experienced in the group, Lee said the greatest thing about the band is the creative energy and freedom. He described the interaction among the bandmates as joyful.

Captain Green’s relationship with Baton Rouge venues like Chelsea’s Cafe, Mud And Water and Varsity Theatre have been beneficial to what Jones said is its greatest appeal: unpredictability.

“One time we did an a

cappella version of ‘The Muppet Show’s theme song,” Hoppe recalled of the band’s participation in the Baton Rouge Gallery’s “Movies & Music On the Lawn” series. He said the freedom to experiment in the local music scene has often felt “decadent” for him as an artist.

The local gigs grew more prolific and varied, but Captain Green evolved further still. “We realized Baton Rouge couldn’t support how often we wanted to play,” Jones said.

page 9 The band made the transition from small weekend-long tours to cities like Nashville to a regional tour of the South this summer. The next, bigger tour, consisting of 17 shows in 16 days, starts on Sept.

27, in Birmingham, Ala., and ends on Oct. 12 in Asheville, N.C. Captain Green is busy building relationships with venues far and wide and playing at festivals to audiences number the thousands, but what’s next?

Lee said he has grand aspirations for the band’s future, like

crazed fans “who want to steal Bobby’s [Kling’s] hair.” Kling made a suggestion: “Can we be the first band to play the moon?”

“We gotta bring the funk to the Martians,” Hoppe added.

Captain Green will come back to earth — more specifically, to Baton Rouge — on Oct. 31 at Chelsea’s Cafe.

conversation starter and breeds discussions, leading to more interactions with friends,” Hatfield said.

“You can’t really get that [interaction] sitting around a bar playing phone apps.”

Interdisciplinary Studies senior and regular player of TMSQ Olivia Bullard said as a fan of trivia, she decided to download the app after seeing a commercial for the television show. Her favorite element of the app, she said, is its direct connection to the show.

The show is played 24 hours a day for close to 12 days, though only an hour of live trivia is shown on TV. But most viewers have found the show’s rules too complex, possibly explaining its declining viewership.

With viewers’ knowledge and attention spans pushed to the limit, it seems the key fans of the series are the players of the show’s trivia app.

The app crashed during the show’s debut episode, and Host Ryan Seacrest later explained that it was due to overuse.

Currently ranked No. 18 in free apps on Apple’s App Store, TMSQ

app has gained fans in trivia enthusiasts. But some, like Bullard, believe playing trivia alone on a phone against a random opponent is not the same experience as trivia nights in local bars.

Bullard said although she enjoys playing trivia on the app and following along with the show, she prefers the “fun atmosphere” that comes with bar trivia.

“The environment of bar trivia beats playing on the app,” Bullard said. “Even if my friends and I lose in a bar, we are still having a good time and enjoying each

other’s company.”

So when the countdown clock strikes zero during The Million Second Quiz’s finale Thursday, the winner will reportedly leave with the largest cash prize in game show history. Winners of local bar trivia, on the other hand, leave with gift cards or free drinks, at best. For trivia fans like Bullard and Hatfield, it’s not about the prize, it’s about the experience.

Since the majority of prospective members have no experience, returning members spent most of the event patiently coaching them through the basics of the rowing stroke. Using four stationary rowing machines, or ergs, beginners slowly started to feel the rhythm of the stroke.

“Legs, back, arms, then arms, back, legs,” English junior Selena Johnson said to a group on the ergs. “If it feels natural right now, you are probably doing it wrong.”

Once they felt comfortable on the ergs, prospective members moved to the dock. Six of them

DEFENSE, from page 5

Auburn sports two 200-yard rushers, as well as two more backs who have eclipsed 100 yards. Auburn ranks fifth in the SEC in rushing, collecting 716 yards this season.

“They run a lot of read-option and zone-type stuff,” Alexander said. “The key for us will be to just come out prepared for it.”

Auburn has done the most damage in first down situations. Of Auburn’s 132 attempts, 70 came on first down with an average of 5.6 yards a carry.

First down happens to be a strength for LSU too. Chavis’ defense is only allowing 2.23 yards per

SAFETY, from page 5 while another part stands, the fact that the flag was ever thrown is nonsense. Clinton-Dix was making a play on the ball — you know, like a defensive back is supposed to do, and happened to make contact with the receiver.

Referees have been told to err on the side of caution when it comes to player safety, but if knocking over a receiver while making a play on the ball is interpreted as “targeting,” then they have gone too far.

How exactly are players supposed to defend a pass? Perhaps ask the receiver politely to “please not catch the ball?”

The targeting rule is flawed, but I understand the NCAA’s concern for its amateur athletes. It’s nowhere near as absurd as the overprotection of NFL quarterbacks who make millions.

On the first play of the second quarter of Sunday’s Saints-Buccaneers game, New Orleans’ quarterback Drew Brees was sacked by Tampa Bay defensive end Adrian Clayborn. Brees fumbled while the Bucs recovered and took possession of the football.

Well, they would have.

A flag for unnecessary roughness against Clayborn gave the ball back to Brees and the Saints.

Utter insanity. A defender made a clean hit on a ball-carrier and was flagged for unnecessary roughness.

The blow was around the head, but since it’s now illegal to hit a

joined two returning members in a boat launching from the dock, along with a coxswain — a person who faces the rowers and gives instruction.

Almost immediately, the new members appeared to forget everything they learned on land. They focused on their own strokes, trying to recall the cadence they learned earlier in the day. In doing so, they lost sight of the fact that stroking together is more efficient and easier for everyone.

After spending around half an hour on the water, boats started to come in to dock and pick up new groups of eager freshmen.

Many getting off the boats got right back in line, hoping to get another chance on the water.

Petroleum engineering freshman Joe Coleman said ergs are great for conditioning, but they only vaguely resemble the attempt on first down, the lowest of any situation.

Most of the damage inflicted to LSU has come during the second and third quarters of the game. Of the 332 yards given up on the ground this season, 243 of them were during the middle quarters of games.

LSU’s defensive tendencies match up favorably when compared to Auburn’s rushing attack, with almost 60 percent of Auburn’s rushes coming in the first and fourth quarters of the game.

The improvement for the defense has arrived at a good time with three of LSU’s next five opponents averaging more than 200 yards per game on the ground.

quarterback high or low in the NFL, this hit was not even close to unnecessary roughness. The sole reason the flag was thrown was because of the $100 million Pro Bowl name on the back of the jersey.

After he throws a ball, a quarterback is a defenseless player and should get some level of protection from the officials. But if a defender can be flagged for a clean sack, then the NFL might as well send quarterbacks out there in a green jersey and make defenders start playing twohand touch.

Star players getting calls is as old a phenomenon as professional athletics itself, but even the most diehard Saints fan would tell you Brees getting that call is an embarrassment to tackle football.

And this isn’t meant to pick on Brees — Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and other elite quarterbacks get the same ridiculous calls all the time and it’s not any less disgraceful. The call Sunday just happens to be the most egregious so far this season.

Again, the league has told referees to be cautious with these things, but there is a difference between player safety and not letting defenders play the game.

Parker and the returning members were thrilled at the turnout for Learn to Reaux and openly wondered what they would do if all of the prospective members arrived at the dock for their first practice at 6 a.m. Monday morning.

Tuesday, September 17, 2013 NUDIST, from page 1

He said nudism is something personal to him and although he is not ashamed of who he is, he is not sure what the consequences of being labeled as a nudist may be.

He first discovered his desire to be a nudist while living in the University residence halls during his freshman year. He said his shower curtain was pulled back as a prank by another man as a way to humiliate him. Though the man began laughing, instead of being humiliated, he had a revelation.

“This is my body,” he thought.

“This is who I am, and I shouldn’t be ashamed.”

So he continued his shower.

This body acceptance began to evolve and the number of clothes he wore became less and less.

president position from a field of about 35 applicants. Clark ruled in the newspapers’ favor April 30.

Faircloth said he would retrieve the documents digitally from R. William Funk and Associates, the private firm that assisted in the presidential search, and deliver hard copies to the court.

When the documents are in the court’s possession, Clark said she will set a date for a final trial where attorney fees and penalties may be billed to the University. Mince said because Clark ruled against the University, it will be liable for any attorney fees NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate have accumulated.

Faircloth said the court date is at the judge’s discretion but will likely be scheduled for next week or the week after.

The University may also be further penalized by the court, Mince said. She said if Clark decides the University unreasonably

came last semester during spring break. While thinking about how he wanted to spend his free time, he decided to go to the Indian Hills Nudist Park in Slidell. It was there he sang naked karaoke and realized how much he enjoyed being naked with others.

“The people were nice. They were very inviting, and that’s when it took off for me,” he said.

His experiences there drew him back a few more times that summer, and he decided to become a member of the park.

Nudist activities such as karaoke, body painting, hula-hooping or just talking with others are not sexually charged, he said.

However, he did acknowledge certain natural obstacles one may face while nude.

He said if a man is experiencing an erection, although rare, the failed to respond to her original ruling, it may be liable for further monetary penalties.

Louisiana public records law provides for $100 per day penalties from the day the original ruling was made. Clark may choose to impose penalties on the University because of how long it has taken to hand in the documents, Mince said.

After the final ruling, the University will be able to appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeals.

The University previously attempted to appeal the decision in August, but the appellate court declined to hear the case until Clark handed down a final decision.

Mince and Faircloth both said it is likely the University will appeal again once Clark makes a final decision.

Faircloth said if the case was taken to the Court of Appeals, it would likely take another 60 to 90 days for that court to make a decision. He said public records cases are usually given priority in higher courts.

The Daily Reveille proper procedure would be to cover it with a towel, flip on his stomach or retreat to the cool waters of a pool. If a woman is on her cycle, she would wear bottoms, he said.

His next experience with nudism was the World Naked Bike Ride in New Orleans, which he said was his favorite experience as a nudist because of the courage it took to go out in public naked.

“People wouldn’t know my name, but there are definitely people with their phones being held watching me go down the street,” he said.

Although his family and friends accept that he enjoys to be naked around others, they are not willing to become nudists.

He said when he discovered nudist groups around Louisiana, he found acceptance and friends, something he hopes to bring to

page 11 more University students.

He said nudists are accepting of themselves, which makes them accepting of everyone else — something that makes them friendlier than the non-nudist world.

But his attempts to bring a nudist club to LSU may not be met with the same acceptance.

He began attempting to recruit members by posting signs around campus with the Geaux Bare email listed and had a mixed response.

He said he has had many inquiries from both males and females, mostly asking for more information.

He has also begun requesting responses from TigerMail accounts because of the large amount of inquiries from people unaffiliated with the University.

He said he is concerned about people wanting to join the club for

the wrong reasons, but those people will instantly stick out in the group and will either adapt to the situation are be asked not to come back.

He said he has two people who are serious about joining, and the next step is to choose a venue for the group’s introductory meeting.

Someone who is willing to take that step in self-acceptance and body-acceptance would be a good fit for Geaux Bare, he said.

He said anyone who comes to terms with who they are as a person can be a nudist.

“It’s not about what other people think, its about how you think about yourself because you have to live with your body,” he said.

Mince said though she would be able to examine the documents to ensure they are correct, she will not disclose their contents to her clients. The documents will only become available to the press and the public after the case is heard in the First District Court of Appeals, she said.

“We certainly would have preferred the documents without restrictions,” Mince said.

Mince said although it’s possible the case will be taken to the state Supreme Court from the Court of Appeals, predicting whether that will happen is difficult. If the case is brought before the Supreme Court, Mince said it will likely be given a high priority on the docket.

“I’ve never heard of a public records case that went to the Supreme Court that didn’t get dealt with quickly,” Mince said.

Get Over It

Shut up, meg Megan Dunbar Opinion Editor The University’s chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon boasts an illustrious history of insulting the opposing football team via banner each weekend, and this time around, they chose to bring up the Kent State shootings of 1970.

Remember that school shooting where the National Guard shot and killed four unarmed students and wounded nine others as they either watched or protested against intervention in eastern Cambodia?

DKE probably chose the insult because nothing’s happened at the school since, and it’s a joke that would get a response, like the fraternity aims to do every week.

Take a second to think about every weekend you’ve tailgated. The DKE banner was probably a topic of a two-minute discussion, some laughter and groaning, then moving on.

That’s how it should work.

DKE’s traditional banner serves to amuse and anger tailgaters of all ages.

Last week’s banner read “LSU

Media fascination with DKE ‘scandal’ unwarranted

vs. UAB, it’s gonna be a gas. Syriasly.” Don’t tell me that doesn’t warrant WAFB reporters asking for student reaction on campus.

Maybe they should’ve found out how the Middle Eastern students felt.

It would be a simple way to bring international news closer to home.

But they didn’t. Instead, that’s what happened on campus regarding the Kent St. banner Monday, because a 43-year-old shooting matters more than the current gassing of citizens in a country embroiled in civil war.

Every news outlet in town has picked up the story because WDSU sniffed out police cars in front of a fraternity house Saturday, and instead of finding someone passed out after funneling too much beer, they discovered a non-story.

Following the media pickup, we’ve got an official response from local and national chapters of DKE and LSU. They each apologized and made it clear that the sign doesn’t reflect any larger group and was a mistake.

Fine. That’s somewhat expected. Stop the flow of negative energy before it reflects poorly on your institution.

Oh, and the one where the same author slams news outlets for latching on to the story about a lack of non-white students in the University

of Alabama’s sororities because racism isn’t worth a story.

We live in a positively colorblind world, remember?

I imagine this kind of media coverage could be appropriate for every other banner they’ve hung over the past couple of years, but no one picked up on those.

The story should be over.

The DKE brothers pulled the banner down as soon as LSUPD asked and replaced it the next day with

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

an apology.

Everyone is over it. We can choose not to get swept up in the hype and join everyone in condemning a situation that should already be resolved.

The news about this issue wrapped up Sunday with the official apology, and now we have a choice.

Like most of the students I spoke with on the Quad on Monday, you can offer blanket statements about how mean DKE is, how much you disagree with their thoughts and proceed to redact your own statement by talking about free speech.

Or you can form your own opinion.

Don’t fall in line with the media scandalizing the banner and urging you to condemn this chapter for their choice of criticism. Make up your own mind about whether or not this is wrong, and figure out if this is something worth your time and energy.

I can tell you already: it’s not.

Why Occupy Wall Street matters two years out Mr. Fini Joshua Hajiakbarifini Columnist When Occupy Wall Street started on Sept. 17, 2011, it seemed like just another left-wing protest in New York against the bailouts, but it quickly ballooned into a movement which still has a social and political impact today.

Currently, only the core activists of OWS are still meeting to try to build a movement to push for radical social and political change.

Today, there will be a General Assembly in New York for the second anniversary.

I never thought I would see a social movement that isn’t just fighting the traditional populist battles, but actually questioning the system.

For many years there were protests against the Iraq War, tuition hikes, budget cuts and gay oppression,

but I never thought a single movement would try to encompass them all.

As a student, OWS seemed so far away and insignificant, but watching how quickly the movement spread to more than 50 cities and dozens of countries, it became clear that this was no ordinary protest. Its goals were ambitious, to say the least. Its website, occupywallst.org, has a bold slogan: “the only solution is a world revolution.”

For a society that advocates conformity, it was a breath of fresh air to see and be part of a movement that challenged the social and political status quos. Yet when it started, the goals were not well defined.

The movement’s goals centered around two key issues: wealth inequality and corporate influence over government. “We are the 99 percent!” was a common slogan, signifying the top 1 percent owning 40 percent of the wealth.

OWS also brought up issues

that before weren’t discussed in political discourse, such as the growing student debt crisis.

Currently the total student debt is more than $1 trillion, which is more than total credit card debt.

All of this debt on students is due to state budget cuts on public universities.

For many years, it seemed the nation was condoning the neoliberalism of Bush and the Tea Party.

The conversations were only about government spending and how bad it was, which led Republican states to cut funding for state universities. This put a heavier burden on students.

With all of this talk of cut backs and deficits, there was a growing movement that felt Obama wasn’t doing enough to address the plight of the poor, students, minorities and middle class.

The movement dwindled significantly due to elections sucking up political activism. Many moderates who supported OWS weren’t

long-time activists and chose to support Obama instead of change.

Even though the movement lost most of its momentum, it still had a lasting political impact on the country and now especially with students.

One student movement called Strike Debt radically pushes for debt forgiveness and a public overhaul of the education system. Although these radical changes were not likely, one newly elected Democratic senator was listening.

After Elizabeth Warren was elected senator of Massachusetts in 2012, she proposed a bill to have student loan rates temporarily lowered from the current rate — 3.4 to 6.8 percent — to the interest rates that banks pay — 0.75 percent.

Currently, students are paying nine times the interest per dollar we borrow than Wall Street bankers.

With Warren’s proposal and Obama’s re-election, clearly revolution was a far cry from success, but seeds were planted and

conversations were changed.

Although the world revolution didn’t happen, OWS was a way for students, workers and activists to be heard.

There was also a more subtle success of the movement, which I believe was more significant than marches. Although most didn’t participate in the OWS protests, there was a level of silent support for the protesters.

OWS showed that there were many people who were ignored by politicians and the media, and that there is still a lot of discontentment in this country and the direction we are heading.

Miss America needs to educate her unruly subjects ’Dam, Girl Morgan Searles Columnist Good thing the newly crowned Miss America, Nina Davuluri, chose the pageant platform “celebrating diversity through cultural competency.”

It’s an agenda that could benefit many, since clearly some white Americans skipped the day cultural awareness, nationality and citizenship were outlined in high school civics.

Unabashed racism clouded Sunday’s Miss America competition when Davuluri was crowned queen and became the first IndianAmerican to earn the honor.

Her talent performance introduced Bollywood fusion to the stage. She said she felt honored to bring it there for herself, her family and the Indian community.

But Davuluri missed an opportunity to stand by her diversity platform during a post-pageant news conference where she was asked about negative comments concerning her Indian heritage.

She deflected the real issue, much like her interview response during the

competition. She gave an elegant, inconsequential answer.

“I have to rise above that,” Davuluri said. “I always viewed myself as first and foremost American.”

It was enough to satisfy fans and lend the queen a graceful glow in the darkness dimming her victory, but it didn’t connect to her message of diversity and cultural understanding.

She is a second generation Indian-American, but tweets labeled her Arab, Muslim and a member of al-Qaida. People expressed confusion as to how a non-American could become Miss America, even though Davuluri was born in Syracuse, N.Y. We need her to take initiative in her year long vocation to make culturally competent humans out of losers who begin social media posts by disclaiming, “I swear I’m not racist, but …”

With national media locked in on the controversy, this Miss America won’t have more influence or reach during her reign than she does now. In the morning talk shows, the newspaper profiles and the magazine interviews, she has a chance to change perception about race and ethnicity. But so far, we haven’t seen it.

Similarly racist broadcasts were made after “The Hunger

Games.” Fans were shocked to learn some characters are black, and an outcry erupted from this country’s racist peanut gallery following the 2012 presidential election.

This time, I suppose inspired by the high fashion and fun style of the Miss America contest, some Twitter users even mixed and matched their ethnic discrimination. How trendy.

“Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must’ve made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote,” tweeted user @EJRBuckeye.

Thank goodness a Twitter search through #MissAmerica now mostly shows disbelief and anger about the negative reactions to Davuluri’s crowning.

That’s more like it, America.

Twitter and Facebook bear the scars of #facepalm and 500-word comments on shared links denouncing the state of humanity.

If facts and common sense aren’t enough to dissuade racist behavior, maybe public shaming will do the trick. There’s a reason BuzzFeed doesn’t blur out the names or Twitter handles of the perpetrators in its articles.

Throughout her reign, Davuluri should take the same

direct approach to the ignorant masses. This type of blind nationalism is poisonous to our efforts to be united as a country, and it gives American pride the stench of xenophobia.

Instead of lowering her sparkling eyelids over the issue or “rising above that,” our new Miss America needs to address the people who’ve mistaken her for

a terrorist.

Closure of Hart Lot detrimental to commuters BRACE YOURSELF Ryan McGehee Columnist It’s hard to wake up and go to class every day. It’s even harder when you live off campus and you can’t just roll out of bed and stumble into a classroom.

The commuter student struggle is real.

With the closure of the Hart Lot, that struggle has become a full-on fight. LSU has once again shown disdain for its students, especially those who live off campus. Whatever the University’s motives are, one thing is clear: LSU hates commuters.

Hart Lot is set for closure through spring 2015 for construction of a new residential housing complex, with any unused space reserved for residents and faculty and staff.

LSU’s official policy on the matter regarding commuters is that they “utilize other commuter lots available on campus.”

Okay, so all we need to do is adjust to the changes and use other lots available to us.

That would be fine, if the other lots did not fill up faster than Tiger Stadium on game day.

I myself was in a situation last week where I drove around campus,

scouring the area for parking for more than half an hour, only to come up empty handed, and late for class.

The lots by the Natatorium, Field House, Tiger Stadium, School of Coast and Environment, across from Patrick F. Taylor and on South Stadium Drive were all filled to capacity. My alternative — if you could call it that — was the lot near the hay field.

Needless to say, I was not pleased.

Now, I’d like to take a moment to apologize to the poor, unsuspecting brunette that happened to walk right out in front of me as I searched the lot in front of the Coast and Environment Building. While I maintain that you should be able to see a moving, two-and-a-half ton vehicle, she seemed rather engrossed in her iPhone, and for all I know, it was something important.

I digress.

When the young lady stumbled out in front of me, I slammed on my brakes, rolled down my window and promptly gave her a harsh, bilingual tongue lashing.

Your mother is probably a nice lady, and you have my sincerest apologies.

This inordinate rage would have never been present, were I able to find just one open space in the time I spent desperately roaming campus like a DKE searching for tragedies to mock.

LSU’s careless closure of a major commuter lot has put parking at a premium that will leave some students without space for the next two years.

This will force commuters to make an unnecessary decision: be late for or miss class, or park where you are not permitted, and get a ticket or be towed.

This is repugnant and should be offensive to every student at LSU. We are in a situation where we are paying exorbitant tuition and fees to go to a university that doesn’t

provide adequate parking that we are owed by merit of us purchasing our permits.

Their solution? Leave your home or work even earlier than you already do and trek more than half a mile to class.

Ridiculous.

I call on the University to reverse its policy regarding commuters in the Hart Lot. Allow us to park right alongside residents, who can literally walk to class straight from bed, and faculty and staff.

If you want us to love purple
