On Christmas Eve, Highland Coffee’s iconic, jasmine-covered iron gates will shut at the shop’s location on Highland Road.

Owner Clarke Cadzow said his business was unable to renew the lease originally set to end in November. The lease will be extended through Dec. 24 so the coffee shop can serve the campus community until the end of the fall semester.

For 25 years, he said, Highland Coffees has been a home away from home for students, professors and community members alike.

“We feel a deep connection with LSU,” Cadzow said.

When the coffee shop opened its doors in November 1989, it was the only specialty tea and coffee shop in Baton Rouge.

Customers flocked from around town, and many stayed. Yet one ingredient remains the same: the shop’s commitment to the community and creating great coffee.

“Me and my staff have just

The shows started for uplifting purposes, Glenn said. When times were tough, people would put on a step show or yard show and sing songs.

New LSU Vice President for Strategic Communications Linda Bonnin told The Daily Reveille on Friday she received “a number of calls” from her future University colleagues after they learned of her involvement bonnin in a lawsuit filed against the University of Memphis.

In an email exchange with The Daily Reveille, Bonnin declined to comment on the pending litigation, which alleges she terminated a 64-year-old employee based on his age and told an office intern she planned to replace him with someone “younger and female.”

“Everyone [at LSU] has been tremendously supportive,” Bonnin wrote in an email. “While I don’t officially begin work until October 1, I have already become involved in a number of work activities.”

Bonnin went into detail about her interview process with the

Water bottle campaign promotes sustainability, hydration BY carrie grace henderson chenderson@lsureveille.com The UREC’s Clear Water, Green Heart campaign hopes to promote sustainability and reward students who bring their refillable water bottles to the facility.

George Clooney, wife debut as newlyweds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VENICE, Italy — Wedding bands glinted under the Venetian sun on the hands of George Clooney and his new bride, Amal Alamuddin, as the heartthrob actor and the human rights lawyer emerged Sunday from the luxury hotel where they were married a day earlier.

The groom, in a smart light gray suit, sported a simple ring on his left hand. His wife, in a flouncy white short dress with pastel-colored appliques resembling flower blossoms, wore a thin band studded with what appeared to be roundish diamonds. The newlyweds shaded their eyes from the afternoon sunlight with dark glasses.

They hopped into a waiting water taxi and, with Clooney putting his arm around her frequently, made their way down the Grand Canal to another waterside hotel where many of their guests were staying. Gondoliers steered out of their way.

Tourists and Venetians cheered when Clooney waved and Alamuddin smiled broadly.

The 53-year-old actor, who had vowed he’d never wed again, and the 36-year-old London-based lawyer, were married with Hollywood stars and family among guests.

George Clooney and his wife, Amal Alamuddin, cruise the Grand Canal after leaving the Aman luxury Hotel in Venice, Italy, on Sunday.

Celebrity-watching will last at least another day in Venice. City officials have announced the closure on Monday of a stretch of pedestrian walkway along the Grand Canal near the 16th-century Cavalli Palace, so the couple can have a civil marriage ceremony there.

The palace is right across from the Aman hotel where the couple wed on Saturday evening.

The marriage is the first for the bride and the second for Clooney, who had been one of the world’s most sought-after bachelors since 1993, following a four-year mar-

riage to actress Talia Balsam.

The bride left her native Lebanon during its civil war and was raised in the United Kingdom.

The Oxford-University-educated Alamuddin met Clooney, who is involved in many political causes, through her work.

Students ‘Bike for Beards’ to protest ban

Congratulations @GeauxMargret

PROVO, Utah — A group of Brigham Young University students is protesting the Mormon churchowned school’s ban on something its namesake once sported: a beard.

About 50 students, some donning paper beards, biked, skateboarded or rollerbladed their way from the Provo City Library to campus during the “Bike for Beards” protest on Friday night.

“I love BYU. I love being a student here,” said protest organizer Shane Pittson. “But the rule on beards I find particularly outdated.”

The 23-year-old international studies major and other students have launched a petition drive to get the school to lift the ban.

University spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said students agree to its grooming standards before their first day of class and the beard ban was set in place by students.

“It’s nothing against beards.

It’s just how we choose to represent ourselves at the university,” she told The Salt Lake Tribune.

Brigham Young and many other early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints grew beards as they

aged. A statue of Young in downtown Salt Lake City depicts him with a beard, but another at BYU shows him clean-shaven.

The BYU Honor Code, created in the 1940s, states that “men are expected to be clean-shaven” and beards are not acceptable.

But students can be exempted from the prohibition if they have a medical condition such as scarring.

Among other things, the university’s mandatory student contract also forbids premarital sex, alcohol consumption and tattoos.

In 1971, then-university President Dallin Oaks defended the beard ban as “contemporary and pragmatic,” but he said he would be surprised if it was not eventually changed.

At the time, Oaks said beards and long hair on men were elements of “slovenly appearance” linked to “protest, revolution and rebellion against authority. They are also symbols of hippie and drug culture.”

Pittson enjoyed growing his own beard this summer, but he shaved before the protest.

“I figured it would make more of an impact to say, ‘I respect the university and here I am abiding by the rules but asking for change,’” he told The Tribune.

“In the same way we encourage people to report sexual assaults, we encourage them to report domestic violence type incidents as well,” Lalonde said. “Because, like sexual assault, there are a wide variety of resources available, but the doors to those resources don’t open until it is reported to someone.”

Brown said Equality for HER receives emails from victims of domestic abuse, and Equality for HER guides these women to resources to assist them after their trauma.

“When you give people that education, then they can share it as well,” Brown said. “And that’s how you get things moving.”

Minority students find support with The Circle, Sister2Sister BY jazmine foxworth jfoxworth@lsureveille.com The Office of Multicultural Affairs is offering minority students support they may not always find on campus through two support groups — The Circle and Sister2Sister — beginning Monday and spanning eight weeks.

Sister2Sister is a weekly support group for minority women to discuss different topics focused on issues relevant to them. The Circle is a coed support group focused on helping students build interpersonal and communication skills.

LaKeitha Poole, coordinator of African American Student Affairs, said the groups were created in 2011 because students would often be put on a waitlist when seeking help at the Student Health Center’s mental health services.

These groups were her solution for students who were looking for support and unable to find it elsewhere.

“It got started just as an additional resource to what the health center offers but just having more specific focus on our ethnic minority students,” Poole said.

It is important to Poole to offer services directed toward minority groups because of the negative

Bonnin wrote that she gave permission to University Human Resource Management to do a full criminal, employment and personal background review and referred any questions about her background to that department.

The Daily Reveille attempted to contact Jane Cassidy, vice provost for human resources and facilities management, last week but was referred back to University Media Relations without comment.

Bonnin wrote in an email she hopes to be settled in Baton Rouge by mid-October but already is putting in research and work for her new role at the University.

“I’m in regular communication with members of the senior leadership team, as well as my staff there,” Bonnin wrote. “Additionally, I’ve been doing research, reviewing best practices and outlining some recommendations. I will also begin working with Human Resources Management next week to look at its communications and recruitment strategies.”

urec, from page 1 The UREC-designed program follows the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association’s three-pronged approach to sustainability by addressing economic, social and environmental concerns.

Grocery totes and reusable bottles keep trash out of the environment, but the campaign may be good for the wallet as well. According to the UREC website, the average person spends more than $200 annually on water bottles, much more than the cost of a refillable bottle.

Refilling stations, which track the number of bottles being saved, can be found on the UREC’s first floor outside the cardio weight room and the gym, on the second floor on the north side of the track and near studios B and C. Many students refill bottles without the incentives, Faulkner said, adding that the stations are being monitored more closely to see if this initiative increases the number of bottles being refilled.

Architecture junior Adrienne Erbesti, who regularly brings her refillable bottle to the UREC, said the program was a great addition.

“It’s really wasteful to keep using plastic water bottles,” Erbesti said. “And it reminds me to drink more to see these machines everywhere.”

Dietetics junior Lacy Rivette said she also thinks the initiative is a good idea and tries to plan ahead to bring her refillable bottle.

“I’m all for helping the environment, and the more we can do, the better,” Rivette said.

The UREC releases weekly sustainability tips on Facebook and Twitter.

“It’s hard for people to grasp what sustainability is,” Faulkner said. “But they just need to know that one small step makes a world of difference.”

New recruitment center to open in Union BY kaci cazenave kcazenave@lsureveille.com The days when prospective University students and their parents must bear the heat on the walk from Pleasant Hall to Memorial Tower to start their campus tours are almost over.

Trey Truitt, associate director of employment services at the Olinde Career Center, said a new admissions recruitment center on the first floor of the Union is going to change tour locations.

“The trip from Pleasant Hall will be no more,” Truitt said. “Parents and prospective students will start and end their tours in the Union — in the former Barnes and Noble bookstore — with air conditioning and larger parking opportunities, thanks to the Union Square parking garage.”

Truitt said the center was built at a more central location, like the newly renovated Career Center, to make the admissions office more visible and accessible to visitors.

On game day, when the University has thousands of visitors, they will be more likely to see the new admissions center, which Truitt said he hopes will better implant the idea of attending the University in the minds of visiting students.

Truitt said he is excited about the installment of the new admissions recruitment center because once it’s built, the Olinde Career

stepping, from page 1 These days, they still serve the same purpose. One Wednesday a month, the National Pan-Hellenic Council holds Wildin’ Out Wednesdays in Free Speech Plaza, where any Greek organization can show off their synchronization.

Today, step and stroll are specific terms. Glenn said a stroll is a group of four or more people moving in a synchronized way to music.

“It’s like a line dance, but more complex,” Glenn said. “We want to put on a show.”

Stepping came before strolling in history and can be traced back to African influences, Glenn said.

The boots that steppers wear are a reference to African gumboot dancers. The intricate stomp-andclap patterns are interlaced with shouts and chants.

Timing, coordination and overall smoothness of the show are valued, with respect given to those organizations that bring a great deal of practice and passion to their product on stage.

“When we go up there we have a sense of pride,” Glenn said. “We’re gonna make all Alphas look good.”

Glenn said they do put in time to make sure that when they step on stage, they look the smoothest and have the best teamwork. For the Fall Fest performance, Glenn said the Alphas put in at least 50 hours of rehearsal.

“The same work ethic we apply

Center will be one of the first stops on the campus tours.

“At this point, as far as renovations go, the space has been completed,” Truitt said. “We’re now in a waiting phase — all that’s left to be done is installing technology like television screens and furniture.”

Biology sophomore Paige Gravois said she wishes the University would have had the new admissions center when she was applying as an incoming freshman.

“It’s so nice that they are no longer making parents and students, who are our guests, walk forever to get to their tour destinations,” Gravois said. “When I was on my campus tour, that’s the one thing I remember: the far walk across campus in the lack of air conditioning.”

Gravois said the restructuring of the tour should succeed in enhancing visitor’s first experiences at the University and has the potential to increase future enrollment rates. This is because the University puts more emphasis on visitor convenience, comfort and happiness than it does on traditional marketing of the University.

“LSU seems to be offering a different kind of touring experience these days, one that many universities don’t seem to have,” Gravois said. “And I think that will prove advantageous and obvious once this new center is officially completed.” to our grades and community service, we bring to our step show,” he said.

Arrielle Parker, biological sciences senior and third vice president of Zeta Phi Beta’s Rho Epsilon chapter, said stepping is more than just a show to put on, it’s a way for her to bond with her sorority sisters. The hours spent working on different steps and strolls deepen their sisterhood.

Parker said there aren’t any substantial differences between the fraternities and sororities when they step and stroll.

“It’s more organization-byorganization based,” Parker said.

Glenn said Alphas, like every other black Greek organization, have certain symbols that appear in their shows. Alphas have the Ape and the Serpent.

“If you hear a hiss, you know that’s Alpha,” Glenn said.

Step shows are not exclusive to historically black Greek organizations, Glenn said. Alpha Phi Omega, a service organization on campus, also steps.

Glenn said he wouldn’t be opposed to competition from other fraternities and sororities at the University. He said he’s heard of an Interfraternity Council organization in Georgia that steps.

Glenn said he’d only be concerned if other organizations appropriate certain symbols, like the Alpha hiss or the Delta Sigma Theta diamond.

Cadzow said their formula is simple: After their imported coffee is roasted in house, the staff serves drinks and pastries, cleans tables and interacts with customers. As classical music hums in the background, the customers work, talk, read and sip.

“The customers do the rest.

We just kind of provide the place,” Cadzow said.

Coffee and tea are social beverages by nature, Cadzow said, letting the business become a social hub on the outskirts of campus.

“It’s like a home away from home, and you get to know people with more depth,” Cadzow said.

From students with instruments on their backs rushing in from the School of Music to

families enjoying a Sunday morning treat, he credits his customers and the Northgate area’s rich history for making the business what it is today.

Cadzow said Highland Coffees stresses the Northgate community’s importance.

“It’s the second-oldest commercial district in town. That alone is important,” Cadzow said.

The area, once known as “Professors’ Row,” was home to University professors and their families. In the 1980s, the area transformed, blossoming with businesses aimed toward students. Now, Northgate is a location unlike any other in Baton Rouge.

“When you come to Northgate and you walk around, you think, ‘There is something special about this neighborhood,’” Cadzow said.

Disappointed to leave, Cadzow said he hopes to reopen his shop in another nearby location.

After failing to produce a passing touchdown against University of the Louisiana at Monroe, the Tigers’ offense became onedimensional against Mississippi

Les Miles says every week that he’ll start the player who gives LSU the best chance to win.

If Miles didn’t figure that out after Saturday night, then he never will.

Freshman quarterback Brandon Harris proved in every way he should be the starter during LSU’s 63-7 win against New Mexico State. Sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings did the opposite, laying one of the biggest eggs Tiger Stadium has ever seen.

Few times has a quarterback looked more incompetent than Jennings did during the first quarter against the Aggies.

Three turnovers in one quarter already is unacceptable, but doing so against a Sun Belt team is almost impossible.

Jennings got by in the first four games by relying on the deep ball, especially to sophomore wide receiver Travin Dural.

Then defenses started switching their formations to prevent that play, and Jennings has looked perplexed ever since.

Jennings’ eyes never left his target on his first interception, telling the whole defense exactly where he was going to throw.

Harris, Dupre emerge as playmaking duo

BY Morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com Throughout the first five games of the No. 15 Tigers’ season, the offensive spark has come from an unanticipated source — two different duos of quarterbacks and wide receivers.

For the first three games, the Tigers’ focus in the air was the connection between sophomore

quarterback Anthony Jennings and sophomore wide receiver Travin Dural.

Jennings and Dural connected for four passing touchdowns against Wisconsin and Sam Houston State. The duo’s success during the stretch was highlighted by the longest passing play from scrimmage in Tiger Stadium history, when Jennings hit Dural for a 94-yard touchdown

pass on the first play against Sam Houston State.

But, in the last two weeks, freshman quarterback Brandon Harris and freshman wide receiver Malachi Dupre have taken over the role of igniting the offense through the air. The pair connected for a 27-yard touchdown as LSU trounced New Mexico State, 63-7, on Saturday night.

Improved communication helps Tiger defense shut down Aggies

BY Brian Pellerin bpellerin@lsureveille.com All last week, LSU’s defense pointed to a lapse in communication as the reason for its struggles against Mississippi State on Sept.

20, but the Tigers appeared to fix those issues against New Mexico State on Saturday.

No. 15 LSU (4-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) limited the Aggies (2-3, 1-0 Sun Belt) to 274 yards on its way to a 63-7 victory. The Aggies totaled less than half of their average passing yards per game, racking up only 102 yards against the Tigers’ secondary.

LSU coach Les Miles said the defense dominated every play in the game except one. On that one play, New Mexico State’s freshman quarterback Andrew Allen kept the ball for a 79-yard touchdown run.

LSU sophomore defensive end Tashawn Bower took the blame for allowing the touchdown.

“That was me,” Bower said.

“I decided to try to go up field instead of reading my technique . . . I got out ahead of [the offensive tackle], but the quarterback saw it right away.”

While that touchdown run was the biggest play of the game for New Mexico State, the Tigers’ defense put up some big plays of its own.

LSU forced four turnovers with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. LSU sophomore linebacker Kendell Beckwith said the defense’s four forced turnovers has the Tigers excited for this week’s showdown with No. 5 Auburn. “[Forcing that many turnovers] gives us a lot of

He also threw awkwardly, which may explain the ball floating five yards over the receiver’s head.

The turnovers came with booing and chants from the crowd for Harris, and at that point Jennings didn’t have a chance. He was nervous coming into the game, and the entire fan base only made him play worse.

Midway through the second quarter, LSU had a quarterback without any confidence and without any idea what a “Cover Three” was. Then Harris came in and picked up right where he left off against Mississippi State.

Harris led LSU to seven touchdowns on seven possessions before being taken out early in the fourth quarter. LSU’s offense suddenly found its rhythm, as if it had found the quarterback who should have been there the entire game.

Harris was poised from the start, and that’s all the Tigers needed to run the offense. LSU mostly ran the ball because New Mexico State’s run defense was dreadful, but Harris was great rolling out to his left and accurate whenever LSU needed to throw.

Jennings and Harris were so far apart there isn’t a point in comparing the two. In fact, it makes more sense to compare junior quarterback Brad Kragthorpe to Jennings, because their stats are so similar.

Kragthorpe, who made his

confidence,” Beckwith said after Saturday’s game. “We want to carry that over to next week.”

Beckwith intercepted a pass in the first half and ran it back for a 29-yard touchdown. For the first time since John Chavis took over as LSU’s defensive coordinator in 2009, the Tigers scored defensive touchdowns in back-to-back games.

LSU sophomore cornerback Tre’Davious White got his first interception of the season on the first drive of the game. It was not only White’s first interception this season but also the first of his career in Tiger Stadium.

“It felt great,” White said.

“That was my first in Tiger Stadium. The two I had last year were both away, so it was a very big deal for me.”

He won’t have a chance to add to that total next week when LSU travels to JordanHare Stadium to take on Auburn and its hurry-up, no huddle offense.

Bower said New Mexico State was a good tune-up against a fastpaced offense and that LSU will crank up the speed of practice to prepare for Auburn.

“I think [New Mexico State] gave us a good taste of what we’re going to see in the future,” Bower said. “We have to get into the film because if you know what they’re going to do before they give it to you, then you’re a step ahead.”

LSU freshman quarterback Brandon Harris congratulates freshman running back Leonard Fournette after Fournette’s touchdown Saturday during the Tigers’ 63-7 win against New Mexico State University in Tiger Stadium.

LSU debut in garbage time, somehow equaled Jennings’ passing yards and took five fewer drives to do it. Jennings did have one more completion than Kragthorpe—two more if you count those thrown to the other team.

The argument that Harris can’t start as a freshman is a sad one, especially because he’s been at LSU for only one less semester than Jennings. Harris understands the offense and is clearly in sync with receivers, so his youth shouldn’t be a problem.

My Campus:

Less time managing finances.

More time enjoying campus life.

LSU’s next game is at Auburn, which is similar to the Mississippi State team that manhandled LSU, on Oct. 4. Everybody saw what happened when Jennings started against a Southeastern Conference defense, but they’ve only gotten a taste of what Harris can bring.

This is still LSU, however, and people shouldn’t expect Miles to make the logical decision.

Miles has a long history of being stubborn about his starting quarterback, and he probably

won’t make a decision until later this week.

Miles can choose what he wants, but he has to know the Tigers’ season is on the line. There are no more easy wins on the schedule that Jennings can be bailed out of, and it’s time to put in a quarterback who has some idea of what’s happening.

In response to Jana King’s column, “Gun owners responsible for safely, ethically practicing second amendment rights,” “‘The little boy teaches the robot that even though he was created to be a weapon, he ultimately gets to decide who he really is.’

And the usual answer is ‘I’m a human being.’ People really believe that this decision and this ‘humanity’ exist in a vacuum. Americans hate the possibility that what they are cannot be resolved by their ego. This is why Hermione’s recent sermon is idiotic, which is to say American.

You have the moral authority of a Disney film (read: liberal social-engineering) tattooed to your body as representing all that is most profound in life. I wonder how it’s going to look at 50?

I’m not sure that someone with such feeble constitution as yourself should be allowed to shoot firearms. I mean you’re so terrified of it, and of the possibility of actually having to harm _something_, that you might very well end up causing more harm than good in a critical situation.

See? We do believe in gun-control.

Feckless liberals that are afraid of accidentally squashing a bug shouldn’t be allowed to handle something that can kill a ‘human being’.

But good job on trying to be impartial.

Ironically, that is exactly what the word ‘liberal’ is supposed to mean. Lastly, Judith Halberstam comes back to me now. If you were an authentic feminist, wouldn’t you have butched-up, grabbed that gun like Dirty Harry and went ‘hasta la vista, baby’? Usurp the gender norms, disrupt the white male patriarchy, instill semiotic dissonance, heck, blow away the targets with a Glock 19 in one hand and some esoteric Derridian leftist tract in the other?

You really missed an opportunity here.”

Highland Coffees, a local coffee shop that has been a Northgate staple for 25 years, is scheduled to close its doors Dec. 24.

Highland Coffees’ solace will be missed BUT HE MEANS WELL GORDON BRILLON Opinion Editor Baton Rouge can be a tough place to live as an introvert.

The mentality of the South as a whole, to generalize, is a social one; the Southerner takes joy in family, friends and getting together. You don’t need an excuse to “visit” with someone. In fact, it’s encouraged.

That’s all fine, but for someone not brought up that way or born here, it can be disconcerting and exhausting to suddenly be thrust into an environment where people look at you funny if you don’t feel like going out on Saturday.

Baton Rouge is especially tough.

With its drinking- and footballcentric culture, lack of other things to do and massive urban sprawl, there isn’t much to do if you’re not one for crowds and loud music.

That, in part, is what makes and

will continue to make Highland Coffees special, until it closes on Dec. 24.

With its hushed music and placid atmosphere, Highland is a place where it’s ok to study, finish homework or just sit and read a book — but more than that, it’s a place where it’s ok to just be alone.

That’s not a common thing in the area near campus. With students saddled with classes, work and who knows what else, it’s important to have a place where they can slow down and avoid being distracted by the million different things happening in their lives.

For me, Highland has been that oasis since I first arrived in Baton Rouge four years ago. I’ve spent more time than I care to count sitting on that patio with a mug of hot coffee writing, reading or just clearing my head.

It’s meant other things to others I’ve talked to. It’s a touch of the metropolitan in an area sorely lacking in authenticity. To some, it’s the best coffee in town. To grad students, it’s a second home. Even to me, it’s been more than somewhere time just seems

Editorial Policies & Procedures

to pass a little slower — it’s a place where important things just seem to happen.

For interviews, Highland is my go-to. My girlfriend and I went there on our first date, and I’ve had more memorable conversations with strangers there than anywhere else.

But these kinds of diverse experiences aren’t possible just anywhere.

Highland Coffees is an institution in the area, a distinct place with 25 years of history behind it that won’t be replaced, no matter what moves into that building on Chimes Street.

We can hope, along with the owner, that it returns soon in a new location closer to campus.

But when it leaves the Chimes Street location, the University, the students and the whole Northgate neighborhood will be poorer for it.

Stigma surrounding therapy disservices those who need help THE TAMING OF THE SHIRIN SHIRIN CHOWDHURY Columnist “And how does that make you feel?”

It’s the classic question that movies and television shows love to use when portraying a session between a therapist and a patient. It’s a stereotypical way to poke fun at the struggle that millions of people face with mental health.

Most of us are familiar with the 2003 version of “Freaky Friday,” a harmless film about the relationship between a mother and daughter.

In that movie, there’s the much-loved scene of the daughter stuck in her mother’s body attempting to do the mother’s job as a therapist for a day.

Patient after patient comes in talking about their problems.

They essentially are

presented as nutcases. Dramatic and unstable, these characters vent about frivolous dilemmas.

“Ha, ha,” you think. “That dude with the glasses is totally bonkers!” You chuckle to yourself, take another bite of your popcorn and get on with your life without any qualms.

Hilarious, right?

I love a good comfort movie as much as the next gal. Lindsay Lohan gets the guy, the mother and rebellious daughter become friends. Ah, how cathartic!

There are just a few issues with it: Movies aren’t real, therapy is absolutely nothing like that and life can get pretty damn complicated.

Mental illnesses affect real people with real problems. The individuals who devote their careers to helping these real people are also real people with real problems. And you, reading this, are a real person with real problems.

I’ve been to therapy, folks.

I can tell you that it didn’t involve me lying down on a couch with my limbs sprawled out while a person with a notepad and glasses asked me how I felt about that.

Therapy isn’t for nutcases.

Admitting you’re having an issue doesn’t make you weak, and denying yourself help can only make matters worse.

I think too many people brush off the idea of mental health counseling, and it might have a lot do to with how it’s portrayed in pop culture. Some people even find it embarrassing to admit they see a therapist.

No matter how trivial you think your problems are, it doesn’t mean your struggle is insignificant.

Too many people try to deal with their problems on their own. Many turn to drugs, alcohol or self-destructive practices to cope. Sure, you might have things under control, but

I think many people fail to recognize that therapy might be one of the healthiest forms of self-help.

Seeing a psychiatrist doesn’t have to mean your life is out of control. Hitting “rock bottom,” whatever that may be, shouldn’t be a prerequisite for seeking therapy.

If you’re a full-time student at the University, you have free access to the Student Health Center’s mental health services, which is an incredibly valuable resource.

You might walk past the building on a regular basis but never seriously consider going inside. You might be having a really bad day but expect things to be better in the morning. You deny that you’re having a serious issue, so you never seek help because therapy isn’t for people like you — it’s for people like that one guy in “Freaky Friday.”

That’s just not true. Experiencing depression, anxiety

or excessive stress doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It just means you’re human.

Seeking therapy also doesn’t have to mean you’re struggling with a lifelong chemical imbalance. Maybe you’re just going through a rough patch — that’s fine. Life happens, and there’s nothing wrong with talking to someone about it.

Life can be stressful, and when too many things build up, it can lead to more serious issues. A bunch of tiny little problems eventually can become something much more problematic.

If something is getting in the way of your success and happiness, it’s not insignificant.

You’ll never know if counseling is right for you if you don’t even try.

Concerts are glorified meet-and-greets, not for music 16 GOING ON BUBBE REBECCA DOCTER Entertainment Editor I’d never been to the Superdome before.

Because of this, I’d never realized the sheer size of the venue or how close to the ceiling the bleachers reached.

So needless to say, when I bought my tickets to see One Direction in New Orleans last Thursday, I wasn’t prepared for the Superdome to be filled to the brim with screaming tweens whose shrieks outweighed the volume of the music being played.

But what startled me the most was that the mass of girls in attendance seemed more excited about being in the presence of the now 20-something poprockers than actually listening to their music, screaming more when a band member interacted with the crowd than when hits like “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Kiss You” were performed.

Through social media outlets like Twitter and Instagram, fans of One Direction — and many other pop acts like them — feel as though relationships have been formed with band members, so much so that when singer Harry Styles posts photos of himself lounging by the pool with model Alexa Chung, the whole fanbase (“Directioners”) blows a gasket.

Gone are the days when there was a figurative — and sometimes literal — barrier between

bands and the fans who pay hundreds of dollars to see them for a few hours.

When I saw John Mayer in Memphis a few years ago, there was little to no interaction with the audience. Even though he’s an attractive musician who has been on the cover on magazines like GQ and Rolling Stone, women weren’t throwing themselves onstage just to get a taste of the performer. There was a certain level of respect for the music, and people weren’t only there to see Mayer in the flesh — they were there to hear his music.

Even in the past few years, the connection between musicians and their fans seems to have changed.

Fans need to personally know a band isn’t new. When Don Draper and Harry Crane try to gain backstage access to The Rolling Stones for a television ad in AMC’s “Mad Men,” the teenage girls whose acquaintances they make are just trying to gain a glimpse of the 1970s heartthrobs. But the way they connect with the performers has changed.

Social media has taken this connection to a whole new level, and that fact, in short, is infuriating.

When it reaches the point where fans aren’t actually fans of musicians for their music but for their roles as public figures, you have to question whether they’re really musicians at all.

When fans are viewing concerts as public appearances instead of a time to appreciate music, why do bands even bother lugging instruments onstage and

Why don’t they just show up and answer questions submitted via Twitter?

When there was a 90-minute lapse between the opening act, 5 Seconds of Summer, and One Direction, my 15-year-old sister didn’t fidget, wondering where her saviors were. She checked Twitter to see if Liam Payne had

posted anything about the band’s whereabouts.

When the show seemed rushed and lacked much crowd interaction, she complained that the band didn’t do its usual “Twitter Questions” segment, where members answer questions tweeted to the band with a specific hashtag for each tour.

When concerts become an

excuse to be in the presence of a celebrity, and music becomes a filler instead of a main event, can we even call One Direction a band?

duo, from page 5 State. The Bulldogs stacked the box and stuffed the run, allowing the Tigers only 89 yards on the ground.

But Harris came in with 3:43 left in fourth quarter and threw two 30-yard touchdown passes to Dupre in less than thirty seconds to put LSU in position to win the game on a Hail Mary.

“I enjoyed the fact that [Harris] gave us a tremendous lift,” said LSU coach Les Miles on Sept. 22. “He came in a position that was very difficult, and we said to him, ‘OK, make some deep throws and really use your arm, use your feet to see us win this game.’ He did exactly that.”

After Jennings committed three turnovers in the first quarter against New Mexico State, Miles made the decision to put in Harris.

“We had predetermined that we would play [Harris] significantly in this football game,” Miles said. “We felt like we wanted to bring him in, in the position where he could step on the field and go.”

When Harris came into the game with 9:28 left in the second quarter, the Tigers had managed only 84 yards of total offense including 73 yards on the ground.

Harris opened up the game with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Dupre after handing the ball off on 10 out of 11 plays on his first drive, which ended with a 17-yard touchdown run by freshman running back Leonard Fournette.

The chemistry between Harris and Dupre is the product of hard work during the offseason, which included training together with quarterback coach George Whitfield in California in late May. “It is very rewarding when we both do well,” Dupre said. “It seemed like every touchdown I caught from him, he was the

It just speaks volumes about all the hard work we put in all summer.”

After Harris came in, the Tigers’ offense exploded for 178 yards in the air and 290 yards on the ground.

“The reason why we had so much success passing the football is because we had such a great running game,” Harris said. “Starting this week, we wanted to come out and be dominant on the offensive line, on the defensive line, on everything.

We wanted to just push people off the ball, so I think it opened up lanes for Leonard [Fournette] and company.”

Although LSU will

probably continue to depend on its rushing attack, the spark provided by Harris’ deep throws to Dupre gives balance to the offense. The chemistry between Harris and Dupre makes Harris effective and dangerous to opposing defenses on broken plays, a skill he showed against the Aggies.

“I felt like Brandon Harris came in and did just exactly what we needed him to do,” Miles said.

“He performed well, handled all the communication and a multitude of things we ask a quarterback to do. He made plays, and it was very positive.”
