Budget cuts to increase student fees Layoffs, elimination of scholarships expected too

By Kyle Bove Chief Staff Writer

Students will see an increase in fees, the elimination of several scholarship programs, larger class sizes and elimination of student jobs if the University’s state support is cut by the proposed nearly $50 million, according to the University’s

2009-10 budget released Thursday afternoon.

Submitted to the LSU System for review, the budget is the first draft of what will eventually be presented to the House Appropriations Committee on April 21. Gov. Bobby Jindal’s proposed state spending budget has higher education taking a $219 million reduction for the fiscal year beginning July 1, on top of the now permanent $55 million mid-year cut, to help make up for slacking state revenue.

If the legislature, whose session be-

gins April 27, approves Jindal’s budget, the University will have to cut about $50 million from its budget — a reduction that would set the University back decades, said Chancellor Michael Martin.

“A budget like this breaks a covenant between the state of Louisiana and students who have worked hard to get here,” Martin said.

Layoffs and elimination of vacant faculty and staff positions at the University would total nearly 400, according LAYOFFS, see page 3

On one side of Gourrier Avenue sits the new Alex Box Stadium. With its towering lights and high grandstands that seat 9,200 people, it’s a new landmark that testifies to the resources and dedication of the University community to providing excellent facilities and resources.

But in its shadow, across the street, sits a modest but elegant Louisiana-style home. Although LaHouse isn’t a landmark, has no bright lights and doesn’t attract large crowds, the educational center serves as a testament to providing the community with the best available resources.

CUERNAVACA, Mexico (AP) — The U.S. and Mexico are creating a cross-border group to develop strategies for stopping the illegal flow of guns and drugs between the two countries, officials said Thursday. Emerging from a conference with U.S. officials, Mexican Attorney General Eduardo Medina-Mora said more meetings are needed to develop plans to bring warring drug cartels under control along the border. Medina-Mora said Mexico planned to begin checking 10 percent of the vehicles entering the country from the U.S. for illegal weapons.

KABUL (AP) — A new Afghan law makes it legal for men to rape their wives, human rights groups and some Afghan lawmakers said Thursday, accusing President Hamid Karzai of signing the legislation to bolster his reelection prospects. Critics worry the legislation undermines hard-won rights for women enacted after the fall of the Taliban’s strict Islamist regime. The law — which some lawmakers say was never debated in parliament — is intended to regulate family life inside Afghanistan’s Shiite community, which makes up about 20 percent of this country of 30 million people.

DENVER (AP) — A jury ruled Thursday that the University of Colorado wrongly fired the professor who compared some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi, a verdict that gives the professor $1 and a chance to get his job back.

“What was asked for and what was delivered was justice,” Ward Churchill said outside the courtroom. ThenGov. Bill Owens was among the officials who had called on the university to fire Churchill after his essay touched off a national firestorm, but the tenured professor of ethnic studies was ultimately terminated on charges of research misconduct. Churchill said claims including plagiarism were just a cover and that he never would have been fired if it weren’t for the essay in which he called World Trade Center victims “little Eichmanns.”

A sweeping 19-count federal indictment alleges that Blagojevich discussed with aides the possibility of getting a Cabinet post in the new president’s administration, substantial fundraising assistance or a high-paying job in exchange for the Senate seat.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Arctic sea ice is melting so fast most of it could be gone in 30 years. A new analysis of changing conditions in the region, using complex computer models of weather and climate, says conditions that had been forecast by the end of the century could occur much sooner. A change in the amount of ice is important because the white surface reflects sunlight back into space. When ice is replaced by dark ocean water that sunlight can be absorbed, warming the water and increasing the warming of the planet.

home owners.

“We’ve tried to build a house that’s more energy-efficient and durable for the Louisiana environment,” said LaHouse coordinator Margaret Pierce.

Professor Claudette Reichel listed five main areas of research for the LaHouse: resource efficiency, durability, health, practicality, and convenience.

“LaHouse was envisioned to be an educational resource center,” she said. “Its purpose is to demonstrate and teach concepts and methods for sustainable housing and development.”

She said the LaHouse is not a model house, but rather “an exhibit of a wide range of solutions.”

The AgCenter finished construction on LaHouse in July. LaHouse hosts open houses weekly, and private donations funded the project, which initially cost about $1 million.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita delayed the construction, but LaHouse, which at that time was just a foundation and a frame, hosted about 7,000 visitors wanting to learn about hurricane-resistant building technologies

LAYOFFS, from page 1 to the budget draft. The Bengal Legacy Scholarships for Non-Resident Sons and Daughters of LSU Graduates, the Board of Supervisors scholarships and the Louisiana Freshman Merit Award would be eliminated.

A 2 percent increase in auxiliary enterprise surcharges will cause student fees for Residential Housing, the Student Health Center, Student Union and the Office Parking, Traffic & Transportation to increase.

“This won’t be minor,” Martin said. “Anyone who has been in higher education as long as me will know that contrary to what people might say, there is no fat [to cut] at LSU.” A cut of about $7 million to “non-academic units” — like the University’s payroll office, admissions office and custodial employees, for example — would result in 110 layoffs, according to the document.

“Services across the campus will be reduced,” the document states. “It may take longer for a student to be admitted, receive financial aid, register for classes, for vendors to be paid, repairs to be made and buildings to be cleaned.”

A cut of about $10 million to academic units on campus would result in 80 layoffs, from elimination of certain vacant positions, support funds and non-faculty filled positions. The possibility of furloughs wasn’t included in the document but will be discussed as an option for avoiding long-term damage to the University, Martin said.

“We will do all we can to minimize these and other adverse consequences of this investment in the University,” Martin said in a broadcast e-mail sent Thursday afternoon. “Everyone should stand up and be counted as our future is shaped over the next four months.”

‘LaHouse was envisioned to be an educational resource center.’

“We try to use native plants, but we also use plants that are highly adaptive,” said horticulturalist John Young. “They will generally require less care, less fertilizer, and you would use less pesticides.”

One of the main goals of LaHouse is the educate the public, especially people in the construction industry.

“Basically, our goal is to educate the home owner, as well as contractors, designers, and anyone in the home industry,” said Pierce. “One of the missions of the AgCenter is to take research information, break it down and disseminate it to common people.”

For this reason, the developments LaHouse makes need to be both practical and convenient for adoption. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is to lower the cost and increase the availability of these products.

“The more folks we’re able to educate, the more you’ll see the products in the hardware stores,” said Pierce, who added that availability would drive the cost down.

“That’s one of the things that drives people ... the buck.”

To make the developments

PAGE 3 more appealing to the average Louisianan, the AgCenter constructed the house in familiar, Louisiana-style architecture. Pierce said the old-style Louisiana homes were more durable anyway.

“If people look at older-style Louisiana homes, those houses were built to sustain similar conditions,” she said. “We’ve moved away from that in the last 30 to 40 years.”

Pierce added because the home is in a familiar Louisiana style, “it makes it a lot easier for people to adopt these ideas.”

The financial incentives, however, may alone be enough for people to adopt these products and building techniques, especially considering the economic recession and the fact federal and state governments are giving tax breaks for energy-efficient homes.

Reichel said a home using these products and technologies, depending on which of these options the consumer chooses, will cost the home builder about 2 to 10 percent more. She said the savings from energy-efficiency will more than offset these extra costs in the long run.

Lee, Jefferson throw TDs in 2nd scrimmage

By Rachel Whittaker Sports Writer

lsureveille.com

Sophomores Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee each threw a touchdown pass, and Russell Shepard only played quarterback in LSU’s second scrimmage of the spring Thursday in Tiger Stadium, coach Les Miles said.

Jefferson opened the scrimmage on a positive note with a touchdown to sophomore wide receiver DeAngelo Peterson.

Miles said Shepard had some “scramble yardage” in the scrimmage, but Shepard did not play any other position Thursday.

“He’s going to be an exciting addition to our team,” Miles said.

At running back, Miles said junior Richard Murphy ran six Log on times for 50 yards, and senior to see a Charles Scott ran for about 20 video of yards on four carries.

Miles said he isn’t sure when junior safety Chad Jones will return to the LSU baseball team. Jones said Tuesday it was possible he would be with the team for this weekend’s series against Georgia.

“I don’t know that situation,” Miles said.

“Whether he does or not, that’s coach [Paul] Mainieri’s call.”

But Miles praised Jones’ effort in the scrimmage.

“Chad Jones has a big, tall, roving body back there,” he said. “If there’s a ball up in the air, he’s going to come down with it. He had a nice day.”

Closer Ott to be key in top-10 SEC series

By Casey Gisclair Chief Sports Writer

LIZ CONDO / The Associated Press

[Top] LSU freshman pitcher Matty Ott pitches Wednesday night during the Tigers’ 8-7 loss against Tulane at Turchin Stadium in New Orleans. [Bottom] LSU junior second baseman Ryan Schimpf gets Georgia’s Ryan Peisel out at second base before throwing to first April 18 during the Tigers’ 6-3 loss against the Bulldogs.

Giving up a home run in the ninth inning of a tied game would be a major blow to the confidence of most freshman pitchers.

But for LSU freshman Matty Ott, the solo home run he allowed on March 11 in the final inning of LSU’s 10-9 loss to LouisianaLafayette did something else — it showed his coaches he could be a full-time closer in the Southeastern Conference.

“I knew he had what it took to be a special player when he fired down the next three hitters in a row after giving up that homer,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “That showed me he hadn’t lost his confidence and that he trusted his stuff

enough to get some big time outs.”

Ott has proven his coach right since that outing and has been scoreless in seven of his past eight outings and recorded five saves to establish himself as the Tigers’ closer.

LSU hopes Ott’s dominant streak continues this weekend when the No. 2 Tigers (21-7, 6-3) travel to play No. 6 Georgia (24-3, 7-2).

“This will be a great challenge and will be a lot of fun,” said LSU senior pitcher Louis Coleman.

“Georgia’s a great team, and we’ll have to play our best to win the series.”

The series will be the second road SEC series for Ott and the Tigers.

LSU’s gymnastics team says it’s just another meet. But the schedule indicates this meet means more.

The Tigers begin their attempt at reaching the NCAA Super Six meet for the second-consecutive year and possibly winning the school’s first gymnastics national championship Saturday when they travel to Columbus, Ohio as the top seed in the NCAA Central Regional.

LSU goes into the meet ranked in the top five nationally despite finishing fourth in the Southeastern Conference championship meet two

weeks ago.

LSU coach D-D Breaux said competing in the SEC prepares the team for competition on the national level.

“This match can’t nearly match up to what the SEC championship was like,” Breaux said. “When you finish fourth in the SEC and are ranked fifth in the nation, it shows you how hard this league is.”

With two weeks to prepare for this meet the Tigers changed their practice routine, adding more intersquad scrimmages.

Junior Sabrina Franceschelli said changing the routine helped the team prepare mentally for the regional.

“When they recruited me, they told me I should be ready to pitch early,” Ott said. “They told me they liked my stuff, but I didn’t realize I’d be closing this early. But I am definitely ready anytime coach calls my number.”

The Bulldogs come into the game atop the SEC Eastern Division after advancing to the College World Series championship series last season.

Senior first baseman Rich Poythress leads the Bulldogs’ offense and is hitting .449 with 13 home runs and 48 RBI. But LSU pitching contained the Georgia slugger in last season’s series and held him to a .222 average in the three-game series.

“We’ll have to hit our spots and get ahead in the count on him,” Mainieri said.

Pitching has been the calling card for both teams through three SEC series.

Louis Coleman LSU senior pitcher

LSU enters the weekend No. 2 in the conference with a 3.62 team ERA. Sophomore Anthony Ranaudo, senior Louis Coleman and sophomore Austin Ross make up the Tigers’ weekend rotation and have combined to go 12-5 so far this season.

But pitching failed the Tigers in their last game — LSU used six pitchers and gave up eight runs Wednesday in an 8-7 loss at Tulane.

“It was one of those nights,” said junior outfielder Jared Mitchell. “That’s just baseball. You can’t win them all.”

The Bulldogs will counter with an SEC-leading 3.47 team ERA. Senior pitcher Trevor Holder

leads the Georgia rotation and comes into the weekend 5-1 with a 3.06 ERA. Georgia junior Dean Weaver leads the Bulldogs’ bullpen and has five saves on the season.

Georgia was unbeaten in three meetings with LSU last season, winning two games and tying another.

That series was the last SEC series the Tigers lost — LSU won 12-straight conference games to close the 2008 season and have won their first three SEC series this season.

But despite the Bulldogs’ success against LSU last season, Coleman said LSU doesn’t have any ill will toward Georgia.

“Georgia’s probably got the best attitude of all the teams we played last year, so it’s not like we have any resentment toward them or anything,” Coleman said. “I’d like to win two out of three, but I don’t think there’s any grudge against them.”

REGIONALS, from page 5 “We split into two teams, purple and gold, and basically every day we did an inter-squad with more pressure sets,” Franceschelli said.

Junior Susan Jackson said the inter-squad practices have been good for the team’s health, as the decreased number of repetitions has allowed team members with minor injuries to get back to full strength in time for the meet.

The Tigers’ competition Saturday will be stiff, though.

Oregon State comes into the regional following a second-place finish in the Pac-10 Championship meet. The Beavers have also posted a season-high score of 197.500, .100 higher than the Tigers’ season high of 197.400.

The Tigers are relying on strong performances from Jackson and senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney to qualify for the national meet.

Clare-Kearney is ranked No. 3 nationally in the all-around, with a regional qualifying score of 39.515.

She is also has a 9.945 RQS on the floor exercise, giving her the top ranking in the country in that event.

Jackson is ranked No. 4 with a 39.505 RQS. She is also the defending national champion on the vault.

Breaux said Jackson is a key to the Tigers success. “[Jackson] is a rock,” Breaux said. “She’s a tremendous competitor.”

Despite what’s on the line, Clare-Kearney, like the rest of the team, contends LSU will approach this meet the same way it has approached every other meet this season.

“If you take a different approach, you begin to make errors and little mistakes that you don’t need to make,” Clare-Kearney said.

“That’s what we try to focus on as a team. Because when you start to try harder or do things differently, that is when you mess up.”

The report included all major damage from the storm, but the estimates did not take into account all of the work orders in response to the storm.

The damages will be covered by state insurance, according to Favaloro. Notes on the report indicate repairs to the roofs of Jesse Coates and the LSU Sys-

Initial estimates indicated the University sustained $40 million in damages from Gustav.

“It was less monetary damage caused by this storm than it was from Gustav,” Favaloro said.

“It was not as extensive.”

In the last 17 years, Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Gustav in 2008 and the storm March 26 have been the worst to hit the campus, Favaloro said.

But Favaloro said four times in 17 years is more than enough.

Have fun, be responsible during spring break holiday With spring break upon us, students, faculty and staff are finally able to enjoy that anticipated week off to relax, catch up on work or, in many cases, travel to the nearest beach location.

For those traveling to their spring break destination, take

caution while on the road. A lot of people will be traveling next week eager to get where they need to be, so remember to be patient.

If you’re heading to the sandy beaches, remember you can have fun and act responsibly at the same time.

Being on vacation makes us carefree, which is good to a certain degree. But having no concerns while you’re surrounded by other college students with that same notion could be trouble.

Act responsibly. Don’t do anything rash you know you’re going

to regret once your euphoric week is over.

And for those staying in Baton Rouge or at home for the week, enjoy your time off and set aside some time for relaxation.

We get the whole week off, and then we’re thrown back in

school with only a few weeks left until finals. Take this time to recharge and prepare for the end of the semester.

(BI)PARTISAN VIEW

Mounting trophy wives is a difficult but fun game When planning a hunting trip, the individual must choose what to hunt. Ducks, deer and quail are often the booty hunters score. But there’s another game hunted, another booty scored.

Scoring women is a form of hunting many men prefer.

Socially appropriate clothing is oft used as camouflage, and the goal is to lure in the prey. The hunter must be clever to attract girls while not scaring them away. Careful insertions of sweet nothings are also helpful in hunting.

Each score can be tagged. While there’s no limit on the amount of tags per individual, a limit is a good move for personal health.

Different kinds of game exist with three species being disputed as the best score: party girls, smart girls and gymnasts.

In choosing your game, one must think of all aspects of the hunt, not just scoring itself. Skill requirements and accessibility are just as important as the home run.

Scoring party girls is where a hunting novice should start. They’re easy to find, easy to entice and can rock the socks off any sportsman.

They can be found at any bar at any time, and the skills required are minimal.

This is because this species is not a score by the hunter at all.

Party girls fool hunters with insobriety and charm — their arsenal for hunting. When the hunter lets down his defences, she strikes.

Think of party girls as sirens, luring you in with their song of sexual skills. But in the end, it’s just sex — not likely to be original or grow in depth or emotion. Sirens are also

more likely to have diseases, not to mention the occasional puking from excessive alcohol consumption.

This is not the tag to mount.

Flexible girls are another option.

They require a more refined skill set Isabel Blum and are hard to Columnist find. They can be thought of as vixen fox. Small and strong, they’re an excellent score to brag about.

They rarely become boring because of the positions they can contort their bodies into. They’re also strong and able to do most of the work.

There’s a con to this sport. By

the time a gymnast is out of practice, she might not be up for playing games. This means a great score, but no tag for proof.

The final option is the smart girl. Compare this breed to a bobcat.

The hunting skills required here are vast. She is smart enough to dismiss most attempts at a quick encounter, but bobcats need love too. It’s vital to play along and set traps to outsmart this breed. In other words, foreplay is a necessity.

Most will argue the party girls and gymnasts will be the best score, but they don’t see the whole picture.

A University of Guelph study concluded that smart girls are better in bed.

It found smart girls to be more comfortable with sex, easier to arouse and more likely to talk dirty.

Bisexual girls should also be

considered in this dispute. If this breed is scored, she may want to help in the hunt.

Maybe these results are only accurate in Canada where the study was done, or the researchers have never been with a gymnast. But the results remain.

Matchmaking, online dating acts of desperation

The human race has become more desperate than ever.

Not since “Fiddler on the Roof” have matchmakers been so hot.

More than 1,500 matchmakers and at least 1,000 online dating services are in the U.S., according to Ignite Matchmaking Service.

These matchmakers have been getting busy.

Kelleher and Associates, a mother-daughter matchmaking team that operates in more than 10 U.S. cities, has seen an increase in national membership in the past year, according to its Web site.

The company boasts at least 85 percent of the clientele make a connection, co-founder and CEO Amber Kelleher told “20/20” this past year.

But that’s nothing compared to Patti Stanger of Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker,” who claims her matchmaking company, The Millionaire Club, has a 99 percent success rate.

Whoever says you can’t buy love has never owned a dog.

But love you purchase doesn’t come cheap.

Stanger charges $25,000 to $100,000 a year depending on the package, which includes unlimited setups with the youngest, hottest and blondest broads around who would normally never give these horny, socially awkward men the time of day.

While these ladies get off easy through Stanger’s “no sex” policy, the men definitely get ripped off.

They pay the big bucks to wine and dine these potential trophy wives, and they don’t even get to test drive the car before they purchase it.

But Stanger isn’t the only matchmaker in the reality television market.

Mother-son master matchmakers JoAnn and Steven Ward also have their own show.

“Tough Love,” which

premiered March 15 on VH1, throws eight unlucky-in-love women into relationship boot camp.

And these women are in dire need of some butt-kicking.

Their nicknames range from “Miss Fatal Attraction” to “Miss BrideZilla” to “Miss Ball Buster,” and they fall any- Drew Belle Zerby thing but short Columnist of their titles.

Each episode, Ward sends a woman off into the big, bad world of dating to find their one and only — or their one and only who will put up with these stereotypically lovelorn women.

On the other side of the matchmaking spectrum are online dating Web sites, which swear you will find your soulmate in its infinite database

of singles within 30 days or your money back, guaranteed.

On average, 236 eHarmony members marry every day in the U.S, according to Harris Interactive, and eHarmony marriages account for two percent of all U.S. marriages.

This number is likely to grow.

The Web site reported a 40 percent increase in business in the last quarter of 2008. Match.com is close behind.

An estimated 20,000 new members join match.com every day, according to its Web site.

And like eHarmony, match.com is also seeing an increase in business. Its 2008 fourth quarter revenue is the strongest since its creation in 1994.

And match.com’s membership is up by 15 percent.

While match.com costs $15 a month, eHarmony charges $20 to $60 a month depending on length of membership.

That’s a small price to pay for happiness.

People are bored. People are lonely. Everybody needs to get their freak on.

Not everybody is content with becoming the crazy cat lady or lifelong bachelor.

But if people are so obsessed with finding fate and destiny, then they should just check out the local strip joint.

I can guarantee these “soulmates” come at a much cheaper price and are more accessible than filling out surveys and compatibility tests.

Legality specifies: There’s a time to kill, a time to die Disclaimer: I am not a legal consultant and do not intend to give legal advice. If you are not capable of making your own decisions and taking responsibility for them, then discontinue reading. I accept no responsibility for anything readers say or do as a result of viewing this material.

Some argue that, ideally, citizens should not own guns. But in an equally idealistic, albeit more responsible world, everyone would own and operate a firearm.

Much has been made of potential concealed carry on campus laws.

But a more relevant discussion — whether it’s aimed at discouraging or encouraging firearm ownership and use — would focus on defining the legal consequences of using a firearm, namely, by defining specifically when it’s appropriate to use one.

Regardless of either argument, students — gun owners and nonowners alike — would benefit from this knowledge.

Readers must understand the need to consult with an attorney and that state, local and federal laws and seek training in the operation of firearms and legal quandaries before risking being put in a situation that may require making a decision of this magnitude.

The focus shouldn’t be the debate over gun control, but a commentary about the decisions surrounding the practical application of the law.

Ignorance of the law affects people’s lives, and using ignorance as a legal defense will not hold up in the courts.

Informed decisions save lives.

So before you get all John Wayne on us, take a moment to learn the law for yourself.

Because protection from violence is bereft without protection from the law. Perceived justice is not equivalent to legal justice.

To distinguish between the controlled violence of self-defense and unjustified violence, it is important

to understand what constitutes force.

Lou Slaton, who sells firearms at Easy Pawn Shop and offers advice about gun use, said the more you contribute to the cause of violence, the harder it is to prove you were justified in using force.

“Force,” Slaton said, “is Daniel Lumetta decided by a Opinion Editor judge. It’s not up to your interpretation.”

Before using force, one must attempt to flee the threat, though Louisiana residents are no longer required to flee a residence, business or automobile.

Slaton said firearms should always be the last line of self-defense.

“You should only use it if you have to,” Slaton said. “The law is very specific about self-defense.”

And in the eyes of the law, your

actions matter more than your understanding.

“You must face the consequences for your decisions,” Slaton said.

“And you should pay for the wrong ones. The law is considered in relation to you. If an immediate threat passes, you cannot draw a gun.”

However, none of this knowledge will mean anything if owners can’t make a crucial initial decision.

If the ability to use force — potentially deadly force — is present, the individual accepts responsibility for possessing the intent to kill and dealing with the resulting repercussions and guilt.

This means using lethal force should result from a responsible decision-making process.

When the choice is to kill or be killed, it hardly seems like a choice at all. But when the choice is be a victim or a killer, it becomes immensely more difficult.

And without knowing the law, an informed decision becomes

fanciful. If you can’t make this decision in a calm atmosphere — likely the one you’re in if you’re reading this — then you won’t be able to make this decision in a crisis.

This is not to ignore the fact that the inclination to decline completely from using lethal force is not without equally dangerous consequences.

Violence is never an effective long-term solution. But to make reasonable decisions that must be made immediately, it’s best to consider long-term consequences prior to being put in a potentially life-changing, or life-ending, situation.

labor would replace adult workers, possibly creating turmoil.

When the basis of your thinking comes from merely theory and fails to acknowledge practicality, it will be flawed. I challenge Morgan to put down the books and visit a developing nation.

governance with the faculty, which has a wealth of expertise.

The current fury over AIG bonuses points to another danger. Many AIG employees are not to blame, but the excesses of some at the top tar and damage them all. Similarly, the Chronicle of Higher Education, in reporting on March 17 drastic budget cuts for universities in Arizona, says there was no sympathy for universities on the part of legislators “railing against the salaries of some

university leaders.”

The same has been reported in New Mexico. Populist wrath against extravagance and squandering public monies does not distinguish between administrators and the university.

There has to be fairness and balance in the pay scales of public employees. If the president of the U.S. earns $400,000 and cabinet secretaries half that amount, there is no justification for chancellors and presidents of public universities to get more.

With growing concern over rising tuition and costs that might shut them and their children out of higher education even in public universities, taxpayers are likely to be outraged by excessive salaries at the top. Perhaps the University can even lead the rest of academia by returning to a more reasonable pay scale for its administrators before being pushed to do so.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Morgan’s child labor column lacks logic Unfortunately, like most “economists” of the day, Morgan fails to realize life is not played out on paper.

Has Morgan traveled to a country plagued by poverty and seen firsthand what goes on? I doubt it from what is expressed in the column.

I have only taken rudimentary economics courses, but having lived in South Africa, a country better off than most but far from optimal economic conditions, real life logic sets in.

Morgan argues children need to work in the mines and in factories to help economies grow. This theory has some basis, but the truth of the matter is there are not enough available jobs for the adult population.

Adults and children are forced to work on the streets as vendors or resort to crime to survive in poor countries because the economic foundation to keep unemployment solely to the frictional variety is not in place.

In South Africa, the unemployment rate is more than 40 percent.

For Morgan to characterize unions as only concerned about self interest is unfair. An unregulated economy leads to the abuse of workers. Morgan must realize there are capable adults willing to take jobs who cannot find them. Introducing child laborers who are willing to work for even less would drive more adults out of employment.

Child labor would not increase production, but rather shift the labor force. In a particularly fragile world economy, businesses are not looking to make risky investments to increase production drastically. Cheap child

Excessive salaries at the top cost us When just seven years ago the LSU Chancellor’s salary was suddenly doubled to an astronomical number, some faculty members warned of its long-term dangers.

First, a salary so much greater than academic ones would soon attract people from the business and other worlds who would lack academic credentials and appreciation of its culture. This is exactly what happened with the very next chancellor.

Second, large salaries would permeate to mid-level administrators.

This, too, happened. Today, administrators earn far more than professors with decades of distinguished records in research and teaching. Thereby, the reward structure at the University is skewed toward management, not excellence in academic activities.

More administration is not the way to become a great university.

The skewed salary scale has accompanied an increasingly corporate structure. With notable exceptions, administrators have adopted a “masters of the universe” imperial style of making unilateral decisions, resisting accounting to faculty. They forget that a university, unlike a corporation, is characterized by shared
