COVER STORY

Edwards-Helaire, Brossette lead LSU’s backfield

BY BRANDON ADAM @badam___ Nick Brossette said he and fellow running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire have not forgotten about people calling them the biggest question marks on the team during the preseason.

The duo was overlooked for various reasons coming into 2018.

Now a senior, Brossette’s most memorable moments in an LSU uniform prior to this season for some, were fumbles against South Carolina near the Tigers’ goal line in 2015 and on the first play of the game against Troy in 2017.

The knock on his sophomore counterpart was his lack of height and size at 5-foot-9, 212 pounds. Never mind the fact former LSU running back Terrence Magee, who wore No. 18 in 2013, accounted for 1,511 total yards and 11 touchdowns in his last two seasons, and 2009 Heisman winner and current New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram are both listed at 5-foot-9.

The two current LSU running backs are an embodiment of the 2018 LSU football team — guys written off who are now playing with a huge chip on their shoulder. They heard what was said about them in Au-

gust, and now, it’s time to prove everyone wrong.

“A lot of people doubted us, and they called us the big question mark, so we used it as motivation,” said Brossette, who never had more than 19 carries in a season before this season.

They aren’t question marks anymore.

Brossette and Edwards-Helaire are both top-10 in rushing yards in the Southeastern Conference with 640 and 475 yards respectively, and the seniors nine touchdowns are tied for the SEC-lead and sixth in the country.

“For us, I definitely feel like we are a duo,” Brossette said.

“We both came from BR, so it’s an honor playing for this city, putting this state on our backs.”

Against Georgia, it was Edwards-Helaire who constantly gashed the Bulldogs for big gains. He ran for a career-high 145 yards on 19 carries and his 47-yard run at the end of the first quarter set up LSU’s first touchdown of the game. EdwardsHelaire looked like he was going to score on the run, but he was chased down Georgia’s JR Reed at the 7 yard-line.

“I got a lot of jokes for him now, I can’t wait,” Brossette said.

“He always tells me I’m slow and all this and other stuff. I don’t

even mind it. Now, I can joke with him and have an argument about everything now.”

The two Baton Rouge natives are no laughing matter for SEC defenses, however. They have combined for 588 rushing yards, 209 of those came last week, and six touchdowns on 123 carries in LSU’s four conference games.

They are continuing a 76game streak of LSU starting a running back from Louisiana.

The last non-Louisiana running back to start a game was Ohionative Spencer Ware against Texas A&M in 2012.

“You had two great All-Americans on the 1957 LSU football team — Jimmy Taylor, who just passed away this weekend was a senior, and Billy Cannon was a sophomore — and they were both from Baton Rouge,” said legendary high school football coach Neil Weiner, who coached at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge from 1987-2016 and coached Edwards-Helaire during that time.

They were a few other times when you had a local running back go to LSU from the 60s and 70s, but we haven’t had two outstanding like one and two rushers on the team from Baton Rouge high schools. It’s just super.”

Weiner is not surprised by the success Brossette and EdwardsHelaire are having this year.

He had a first-hand view for Edwards-Helaire’s career, who was the first player Weiner let play on varsity as a freshman.

“Number one, Nick is very good,” Weiner said. “Nick had proved in high school he was a quality player, and Clyde had proven that. They were just unknown quantities because they didn’t see much action, and LSU didn’t have to have them.”

The two running backs are also great complements to each

other. LSU coach Ed Orgeron said they use Brossette as more an inside runner and EdwardsHelaire as an outside zone runner, but it doesn’t mean that’s all they can do.

“Nick and I are going to have our contrast, and we’ve talked about that before as far as how patient Nick and how much more of a scatback I am,” Edwards-Helaire said. “You have two great running backs who can do whatever on the field. It’s not like one person has to leave the field if we want to run an outside zone or run an inside zone or even catching passes out the backfield.”

Edwards-Helaire had most of his success up the middle against Georgia, and Brossette ran multiple toss sweeps and outside runs against the Bulldogs.

The sophomore running back believes he was put in the scatback category because of his size and the other running backs on LSU’s roster, but said running up the middle and breaking tackles is something he has done since high school.

“I’d say I’m more versatile than [the scatback label],” Edwards-Helaire said. “Just being able to contrast off other backs, that’s just kind of the word that fits. I’m going to with multi-purpose. I guess it fits.”

No matter what Brossette and Edwards-Helaire label themselves it’s been hard to deny the success they have had as a duo in 2018.

“We knew we could do it, a lot of people were just doubting us and stuff like that,” Brossette said. “We didn’t believe that so we came prepared each and every day, and we’re bringing our A-game.”

“Everybody was writing about it before the season. Everybody didn’t know about us before the season, so I guess we’re just starting to wake them up now.”

While halls like Herget and Broussard are not considered worthy of preserving, there were extensive talks to decide whether a building can be renovated as opposed to being brought down.

Waller said Residential Life goes through an extensive evaluation process to decide between demolition and renovation.

“We look at what the building

Established in 1992, the Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College carved out an integral part of academic and social life at the University. Occupying 10 acres on the eastern side of campus, the Honors College provides high-achieving students expanded course opportunities and academic advising.

Enrollment increases are an important aspect in the Honors College’s growth. This fall, it witnessed increased freshman class enrollment by 26 percent, with students from 33 states, while elevating its average ACT score from 31.2 to 31.4. In addition, nonwhite enrollment increased 70 percent since the previous fall semester.

Honors College Dean Jonathan Earle attributed the enrollment growth to the University’s transition to the Common Application program, which saves time and makes applying easier for interested high school students, along with hiring a full-time recruiter.

Earle sought to increase Honors College exposure in Louisiana through wide-spread recruiting efforts, along with targeting aspirational areas, such as the suburbs of Houston and southern Alabama.

MISSION DEMOLITION Residential Life undergoing major overhaul in coming years

BY TAYLOR BOURGEOIS @tbourge_ The University plan for residential housing will see the demolition of six halls in the next few years.

“Kirby Smith hall is scheduled for demolition in May 2020,” said Residential Life Director Steve Waller. “A lot of people are surprised that all these buildings are coming down,” Waller said, “But it’s been in our housing master plan that we initially published in 2001.”

Kirby Smith and Broussard Halls, on the northwest side of campus, and Miller, Herget, McVoy and Acadian Halls, on the southeast side of campus,

are set to be demolished in the coming years. As incoming students’ expectations evolved in the past 50-60 years, changes to the current halls were necessary.

“For our older buildings, we look at what the building has [and] what it can maintain, but most of these are 1960, doubleloaded corridors,” Waller said.

“And in order to renovate them, we’d lose probably lose 25-30 percent of the beds to bring them up to the current standard of what a student is expecting in a resident hall. Losing that percent of beds makes it very difficult to fund a project over time.”

The new buildings replacing the demolished six will be com-

pletely new and have no relation to the previous halls, including brand new names. Adhering to the University’s campus naming rules.

Along with building residential halls, the University has been able to use land north of Kirby Smith Hall to build Cypress and Spruce Halls, with Cedar currently under construction.

They have found other land to on campus to build more housing.

“We are currently working on a program that will develop the campus greenhouse space, which has been part of our campus master plan to convert that to housing for 17 years,” Waller said. “We have the opportunity to do that as part of our public-

Pro-Life, Planned Parenthood organizations weigh in on Kavanaugh

BY RACHEL MIPRO @remroc15 Even in college, the fight over reproduction rights quietly rages on.

The larger political community has been vocal about Kavanaugh’s confirmation. And on campus, the issue is just as relevant, particularly with Planned Parenthood Generation Action and ProLife LSU, — the two campus clubs most involved with reproductive rights.

Concerns about whether Kavanaugh will help overturn abortion rights, limit Affirmative Action and restrict anti-discrimination laws are among the topics of discussion.

Such is the concern of mass communication senior Jack Stallard, who is the president of the University’s Planned

Parenthood Generation Action club.

“We’re concerned about Roe v. Wade. We’re concerned about Obergefell, which is the Supreme Court decision that declared gay marriage the law of the land.

We’re concerned about civil rights, whether it’s racial justice or workers’ rights,” Stallard said.

“We’re concerned about our individual rights, which all of these things kind of intersect with our own identities, whether it’s womanhood, sexuality, gender [or] race.”

Before Kavanaugh was confirmed, the club spent its time calling senators, including Susan Collins (R-ME), partnering with other groups, writing letters, texting and doing anything possible to get its voice heard. Among the club’s activities including helping to organize and participate

in a screening of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Kavanaugh, in which Ford testifies against Kavanaugh at the French House on allegations of sexual assault.

Stallard said the club doesn’t think the FBI probe on Kavanaugh was handled correctly, and said the investigation didn’t interview people that could’ve corroborated claims one way or the other.

But with Kavanaugh confirmed, they’re determined to keep moving forward, though they will not be able to make a difference on his decisions on reproductive rights.

“We will definitely be moving ahead trying to make as much noise, or rather not noise, but get our message out as loud and as clear as possible when things are happening, but he’s on the Su-

STUDENT LIFE

Small and Exotic Animals Club welcomes all students

BY ANNA JONES @ annajoneses

The LSU Small and Exotic Animals Club had its first meeting on Oct. 11 featuring birds making special guest appearances from the LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Animal sciences junior Layni LeBlanc was inspired to create the organization after learning about chapters at other universities and realizing that the University did not have a recreational club for students interested in animals. Although the University does have a pre-vet club, LeBlanc wanted there to be an organization on campus that welcomed students of all majors and included both social and academic aspects.

LeBlanc discovered her fascination with exotic animals while researching turtling and wanted to share that passion with others.

“There wasn’t a general animal science club,” LeBlanc said. “I wanted to give students who aren’t wanting to become vets to still do something that lets them interact with animals. Exotic animal science is really cool, and we didn’t have anything like that.”

LeBlanc connected with other animal sciences majors and gathered a lot of interest.

Nutrition and Food Sciences sophomore and club vice president Bryce Franklin shared her enthusiasm.

“I’m not even an animal science major,” Franklin said.

“This is something you don’t have to be an animal science person to be a part of. I feel like we really needed that.”

The club has partnered with BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo to provide opportunities for volunteer work and community involvement. Some other volunteer events it already has planned include working with the Louisiana Bird Observatory to learn about handling wild birds, participating in LSU’s Spay Day and working alongside Raptor Rehab.

Networking is also a key aspect of the organization. Several social events are already in the works, including Gameday tailgates and a picnic where people are encouraged to bring their dogs. With the inclusion of different majors, the social events will be an opportunity for students who might not have crossed paths to bond over a mutual interest.

“Our tailgate is our first event, but hopefully we plan to do more,” said animal sciences junior and social chair Carolyn Tran.

Although the first meeting featured exotic birds, they plan on having different animals present at its events. One of the club’s goals is to feature a different animal at its meetings, which take place every other week.

“We want to have a live animal at every meeting for students to interact with and to learn about, because that’s the way people learn,” LeBlanc said. “The birds are exotic, but also we’re going to bring a cat to a meeting, a dog to a meeting, things like that.”

Animal sciences sophomore and volunteer chair Leah Prudhomme encouraged anyone who is interested to come to one of their meetings.

“Small and Exotic Animal Club is a great opportunity for those who are interested in a veterinary career and those who aren’t,” Prudhomme said. “This club is for all animal lovers alike.

As a volunteer chair, I am so excited to open new doors for students to help out our community and our animals.”

Prudhomme said she was es-

“I’m excited to bring animal science into perspective to a lot of people,” LeBlanc said. “A lot of people get intimidated if they’re

not wanting to go to vet school.

We want this to be a place where people can come and have a good time, meet people and get some hands-on experience.”

The LSU Small and Exotic Animals Club is still welcoming new members. Meetings will take place every other Thursday at 5 p.m. for the remainder of the semester.

National Science Foundation supports LSU’s initiative for students in STEM

BY ANNA JONES @annajoneses The National Science Foundation awarded the University with a $2.5 million grant to support the furthering of education among underrepresented students in STEM’s fields.

The University will launch two different programs with this grant, with one focusing on international research and the other dedicated to expanding master’s

and Ph.D. programs.

Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research Randy Duran, who serves as the Gordon A. Cain Chair for STEM literacy is spearheading the portion grant to fund international research.

The program plans to achieve its goals by providing benefits to faculty who stay committed to international research and who remain engaged with students who are working abroad. They also plan to initiate and maintain

various international partnerships with other programs and universities for purposes of collaborative research. Technology will play a major role in distributing the information and hosting international conferences.

Some students face difficulties when trying to do international research, but this program attempts break down those barriers. It serves to benefit the individual students, but also the University as a whole by providing the science department with meaningful research.

“We are delighted that the National Science Foundation will be supporting this effort for the next five years,” Duran said. “This kind of international research is a new opportunity, and fantastic professional development for Louisiana students as well as our faculty.”

Vice President of the Office of Strategic Initiatives Isiah Warner is leading the second facet of the program, which is encouraging minority students in STEM majors to further their education by getting Ph.D.’s and then becoming faculty members.

The program plans to succeed by reaching out to underrepresented students while they are still in high school to offer them summer programs and other opportunities that will hopefully inspire them to continue pursuing education.

They will prepare them to take entrance exams and also assist them in preparing a personal statement, which many STEM programs require for admittance.

“A person can have many mentors, but quite often you’ll have

In my opinion it’s just as important to diversify the faculty as it is to diversify the students, because when you diversify the faculty it helps in diversifying the student body.”

Biochemistry senior Jordan Perry was excited about the new initiatives and agreed that having underrepresented professors teach some of his classes had encouraged his continuation.

“It creates a feeling of inclusiveness,” Perry said. “When you can see people of many different backgrounds succeeding, it gives a

feeling that anyone can succeed.”

Warner said the University is one of five schools in the nation that has begun one of these types of programs. The program will not only try to get as many minority students interested in STEM fields as possible, but also emphasize the importance of a continued education in an attempt to diversify the faculty of the University and of all schools in Louisiana.

Warner said he was particularly excited about the size and diversity of this year’s freshman class.

“I applaud President F. King Alexander and his counterparts for making such an effort,” Warner said. “I’m working with these students, as are many of my staff, and we are excited about this.”

Student competes in worldwide Fortnite tournaments

BY MATTHEW BENNETT @mcbennett4 Before the release of the video game Fortnite, it was hard to imagine what could have brought NFL wide receiver JuJu SmithSchuster, rapper Travis Scott and Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins together talking on headsets, watched by hundreds of thousands of viewers. That was before Ninja was joined by rapper Drake to play the video game, breaking several Twitch streaming records.

Video game company Epic Games changed the video game landscape in September 2017 when it released “Battle Royale” mode on their video game Fortnite. Since then, the video game has taken off and become a global sensation, and Esports LSU (ELSU) member and computer science junior Matt Landry is taking off with it.

Landry recently began competing in Fortnite tournaments with his ELSU teammate and information systems and decisions sciences junior Bryce Dartez. The duo took home $1,000 in prize money after losing in the semi-finals in a 16-team bracket in UMG Gaming’s Lenovo Legion Sunday Showdown on Oct. 7. The

tournament featured multiple professional Fortnite players as well as popular Youtuber Vikram Singh Barn, known as “Vikkstar123,” who ended up defeating the ELSU members one round before the championship match.

UMG Gaming hosts this tournament on Sundays, and players have to be invited to participate. Ninja has competed in the tournament in the past. Landry and Dartez’s semi-final run, which was streamed on Twitch, was their debut in the competition, surprising the match commentators and many of the stream’s viewers.

“I’ve always strived to play [video games] competitively, but just never got to a high level,” Landry said. “Once Fortnite came out, I’ve been obsessed like everybody else. [In the tournament], we expected to just be a filler team, and we wound up placing in the semi-finals.”

Landry and Dartez were asked to come back and compete again on Oct. 14, but were knocked out in the first round. They plan on continuing to compete together and are preparing to begin their Collegiate Starleague campaign, which is a year-long season of competitive Fortnite matches

between esports members associated with colleges that leads to a 32-team bracket in the spring with a grand prize of $30,000.

ELSU has teams competing for almost every major video game title, including League of Legends, Overwatch and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. The team’s budget, which allows players like Landry to enter competitive tournaments and gain access to certain equipment, is provided through sponsorships and fundraising. They were recently sponsored by Red Bull.

“LSU esports has given me the avenue to compete at a high level and given me a chance to show my worth,” Landry said.

“It’s been awesome. I’m hoping my connections with esports and LSU can [lead me to] work in the esports field. I love it.”

Thanks in part to the immense popularity of Fortnite, esports has grown exponentially as a market. Professional video game competitors, streamers and content creators have become viable career paths for many worldwide.

Landry said being a professional video game competitor is his dream job, and he hopes competing in competitions with ELSU is just the beginning. He also said that while everyone is not going

MATTHEW BENNETT / The Daily Reveille

Computer science junior Matt Landry plays Fortnite in his apartment on Oct. 15. to be as successful as players like Ninja, he still thinks it is a big enough market to encourage other aspiring gamers.

“Everyone thinks differently, so there’s always something new to watch and something new to learn,” Landry said. “On top of that, you have the personality of the streamer themselves. Ninja, for example, is really good at the game but then on top of that he’s really entertaining. He’s got a friendly face and a lot of characteristics that build a community that people

like being a part of.”

Landry also wanted to encourage people of all ages who may not have given video games, or watching others play video games, a chance.

“Most people need a break from reality,” Landry said. “Video games are kind of an escape.

I used to play old games like Skyrim where I could escape into that world and explore a whole new thing. Now, video games aren’t just a pastime. It can draw big amounts of money and it can be a career option for a lot of people.”

The Restoration, redesigns and repurposing coming to Memorial Tower

BY BEN HOLDEN @benjaminholde10 LSU’s iconic landmark, Memorial Tower, is getting a facelift.

Fencing has gone up around Memorial Tower, and walking near the tower or through the tower plaza is now a thing of the past and will be for the next several semesters. A construction crew will be obscuring the view of the tower with scaffolding up the entire length of the tower as early as next week.

Memorial Tower is among the most famous and enduring landmarks on the University’s campus, along with Tiger Stadium and Mike’s Habitat. Yet, in the course of its long history, Memorial Tower has never been restored or renovated in any major way since it was first built 95 years ago.

Roger Husser, LSU Assistant Vice President of Planning, Design and Construction, detailed how desperately the renovation is needed. The exterior of the tower has general wear and tear, like cracks, but over time, moisture can cause more serious structural damage to the tower if nothing is done, Husser said.

Over the next couple of years, Cangelosi-Ward Construction will be renovating the tower by refurbishing the exterior,

waterproofing the walls and replacing the windows and interior walls with newer and more energy-efficient versions.

The goal of the project is not to change the look of the building as it was originally designed, but rather to refresh the look of the tower as a whole.

“It’s like restoring that ‘57 Chevy,” Husser said. “The idea is to bring it back to what it looked like before, but it will look new again.”

Upon completing the restoration, there will be an array of powerful lights that will illuminate the tower at night.

The University is trying not to limit the current Memorial Tower project to a restoration, according to Sara Whittaker, Senior Director of Communications for the LSU Foundation. There are two other proposed changes coming to Memorial Tower: a complete redesign and restoration of the plaza surrounding the tower and the conversion of the interior into a military museum.

After the tower restoration is finished, the University proposes to begin restoring the plaza on the north, south and east sides, which has been showing similar signs of wear and tear as the tower. There would also be some design changes to plaza to make it more accessible to the disabled.

The west side of the plaza,

which is the side closest to Middleton Library, would change the most drastically. The University is proposing to extend the plaza to provide more event space on campus.

The University dedicated the Memorial Tower in 1926 to Louisianians who had died in the first World War. Because of the University’s rich military history, there are many people on campus, like the Cadets of the Ole War Skule, who hope to turn the interior of the tower into a military museum.

“It is a special testament to our spirit of community that, nearly 160 years after our founding, supporters are committed to upholding and celebrating our military tradition,” Whittaker said.

The new change would have the tower and its new museum honor all the LSU faculty, staff and students’ involvement in American wars.

Upon completion of this museum, the tower will be open to the general public to view uniforms, battle plans, war photos, maps, medals and more, ranging from Gen. Troy H Middleton to the common student who fought in the Iraq War. As of now, the first part of the project, the general restoration and renovation of the tower, is fully funded and underway, but

A proposed rendering of potential changes to the Memorial Tower plaza. This design is not final and is subject to change. the plaza redesign and military museum are still up in the air.

Whittaker said they are more than 90 percent of the way to the fundraising goal.

The University expects to finish the tower restoration by fall 2020, so the blockades and scaffolding will be up for the foreseeable future, and if the other two parts of the

project are funded, the barriers could remain for several more months after. “[The tower] represents an icon to LSU,” said Paul Favaloro, Director of Capital Project Management and Development.

“Having it restored brings it back to its splendor, and lets it be something we can preserve for the next [95] years.”

The club focuses on promoting reproductive rights and health, along with educating people on sexual health and mobilizing students. They’ve had sex-ed workshops and even political drag. At its table-sits in Free Speech Plaza, its table is covered with a bright pink tablecloth, and they hand out condoms and candy.

This semester, they’ve been focusing more on political activism, trying to get students to vote, which they see as vital, particularly under this administration.

RES LIFE, from page 3 has to play with, what it would cost to renovate it [and] what the revenue would be versus the cost of the construction. But most of these buildings are approaching [60] years,” Waller said. “They’re getting toward the end of their life.”

Not every building can be torn down. Every residential hall in both the Horseshoe and the Pentagon communities cannot be taken down due to their presence on the historical registry. The halls are considered

Stallard said there was a big increase in club interest after the 2016 Presidential election, and that he’s still looking on the bright side.

“I’m cautiously optimistic, there’s been a lot of good response in terms of action from the left, from Democrats, from center people,” Stallard said.

“From really all sides that are kind of against this administration and the things they’re doing.

I think there’s a good chance that we’ll see some change, but obviously change is a slow horse and it take a long time for anything to happen.”

Co-president of Pro-Life LSU Madison Casey said change would be slow, though her idea of progress was much different than Stallard’s. Casey, a psychol-

ogy senior, said the club, while happy with the confirmation of a pro-lifer, wouldn’t be impacted in the short term.

“I don’t see how it affects us that much because a lot of people think that just because he was appointed, Planned Parenthood will be defunded, but that’s not really the case at all,” Casey said. “Having a pro-life person does help our case, but it’s not like he’s appointed [and] instantly Planned Parenthood is defunded. For us as a club, it’s definitely a step forward, we’re happy about it, but I don’t see how it directly impacts us right now.”

Pro-Life LSU, which Casey estimates has around 80 members, focuses on engaging students about abortion, and encouraging women to choose

historical landmarks which prevents these buildings from being destroyed.

The University has worked to ensure the Horseshoe community is on the same level of some of its newer buildings.

Evangeline Hall is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion at the end of December.

“Our game plan is to move the science residential college out of Highland and Louise Garig and into Evangeline, and then in February of 2019 we will start the renovation of those two,”

Waller said.

Highland and Louise Garig, both also located in the Horseshoe, will be renovated similarly to Annie Boyd, which was renovated in 2012.

Once the Horseshoe renovations are finished, all residential halls on campus will have been renovated, replaced or in the process of being replaced, with the exception of the Pentagon.

Although the University has not done anything as of now, they do plan for some renovations in the future.

The strategies to attract talent, employed by Earle and others like Honors College recruiter Abbi Griffith, focus on the value of an honors program education.

The Ogden Honors College offers students the opportunity to both engage in rigorous academic programs rivaling those at elite schools while experiencing the social climate of LSU. “You have the feel of a private college,” Griffith said. “You

One of their biggest events, which they plan to hold in November, is called “Cemetery of the Innocent,” in which they plant flags and crosses on the Parade Ground representing abortion numbers.

Casey says they also do events exposing Planned Parenthood in the spring, but are avoiding inflammatory tactics of the past.

“My freshman year and before that, it was showing more graphic images of abortion,” Casey said.

have small classes. You live with your peers. You interact with your teachers, but also you have the resources available at a large research institution like LSU.” The enrollment increase caused the Honors College to double its course offerings in some cases, such as with Honors 2000. In the Spring 2019 semester, 29 honors courses will be offered, on topics ranging from the psychology of entertainment to post-colonial Africa. The growth is also seen in the Laville Honors Housing. According to Earle, the Honors College had previously never filled Laville with honors students until this semester.

“It’s much easier to get things

done, listen and ask the professor questions in the smaller environment of an honors college class,” said theater freshman Rain Scott-Catoire. “It’s much better than having 200 people in a lecture class where you can’t really ask questions. We get to do that in honors classes, which is really nice.”

Honors College applicants must have a 3.5 weighted-high school GPA, a 30 composite ACT or a 1360 SAT score and a completed ACT or SAT writing test.

Once accepted to the Honors College, students are required to take 32 total Honors course hours, maintain a 3.5 GPA and complete a senior honors thesis project to graduate with the honors distinction.

“The biggest thing I have noticed is the increase in classes and as an upperclassman, I have just seen so many new honors students come in and stay in,” said history junior Jules Broussard. “I see more and more familiar faces every day.”

Despite enrollment increases, Earle is satisfied with the current honors college admissions requirements and does not expect a change to them in the near future. The struggle for honors colleges is balancing access and excellence, Earle said.

“There is a real sense that this place is the tip of the spear for LSU,” Earle said. “By talking about our great honors college, we can positively affect the campus. It’s not just the numbers, like GPAs and ACTs scores.

These are people who tend to be leaders on campus. It affects the whole university’s student body.”

thought that was the right approach. We do still table at Free Speech [Plaza], we talk about the pro-choice and pro-life topics.”

For Casey, the issue most important is abortion. She grew up in a pro-life household and said her own thoughts and research on the issue made her sure she wanted to be an advocate for the pro-life movement. While the club hasn’t discussed Kavanaugh’s confirmation yet, she said she thinks everyone is happy about it.

While she said she hopes the circumstances surrounding his confirmation won’t discourage sexual assault survivors from coming forward, she said she believes he was proven innocent.

SHE’S A KEEPER

It hadn’t truly settled in for senior Caroline Brockmeier that this would be her final season as an LSU Tiger, but slowly and surely, she’s coming to terms with it.

“This season means everything to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better senior year. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to spend my senior year with … honestly it’s just been a thrill,” the goalkeeper said.

Those thrills have included

from Florida State University. And it just so happens that the Florida State women’s soccer program is one of the best in the country, having made 17 straight NCAA Tournament appearances dating back to 2000.

Brockmeier was, to put it bluntly, a really good goalkeeper in her high school career. Good enough to get the attention of Florida State, who offered her a scholarship. Brockmeier joined the Seminoles in 2014, but redshirted her freshman year. In 2015,

eight shutouts, 62 saves in 15 games and 0.97 goals against average. There’s no question that Brockmeier is having one of the greatest seasons that an LSU goalkeeper has had, and to top it off, the team itself is having one of their better seasons in recent history, as they currently sit in a tie for sixth in the Southeastern Conference standings.

Brockmeier’s story didn’t start in Baton Rouge, rather it started in Tallahassee, Florida. She went to Lawton Chiles High School in Tallahassee, just a 30 minute drive

CAL’D UP

College football is notoriously ridiculous. Every year is filled with season-altering upsets and unbelievable comebacks.

Scenes of fans storming the field and tearing down goalposts are not stories of the past. They are occurrences that happen like clockwork every year as the proverbial Davids line up and slay their Goliaths.

For years, LSU fans have witnessed the mayhem of the collegiate football unfold on their television sets. Yes, the Tigers have been part of the chaotic landscape, but it’s been a long time since LSU has played the role of party crasher.

Before last weekend, 2014 was the last time Tiger fans rushed the field. That was when No. 24 LSU pulled off a 10-7 upset against previously undefeated No. 3 Ole Miss. The euphoria didn’t last. The Tigers would lose three of their next four games, including the bowl game, to finish the year at a dismal 8-5.

LSU’s finish in 2014 was not uncommon. Generally, the teams that pull off upsets do not sustain

Breiden Fehoko explains meaning, origin of the ‘Haka’

BY GLEN WEST @glenwest21 When LSU defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko saw his dad, Vili, in the crowd at the end of the “Tiger Walk,” he was overcome with emotion.

After giving his father and mother a hug, Vili started to perform “Ka Mate,” a well known Maori Haka war dance.

“I just lost it,” Fehoko said. “I had to do it, too.”

Fehoko performed the chant with his brother and father in front of thousands at first confused-butthen-elated, Tiger fans. The dance even had a lasting effect on junior linebacker Devin White and sophomore safety Grant Delpit, who stayed to watch the entire dance go down.

As Fehoko and his family were performing the Haka, White and Delpit can be seen in the background trying to mimic as much as possible, even though they had no idea what they were saying, much less what it meant.

“As soon as I get in the locker room they’re like ‘Ahhhhh,’ Fehoko said. “They were like ‘I’m doing it with you next time, man. I’m doing it with your daddy next time.’”

The dance, known as “Ka Mate,” is often done in Hawaii, where Fehoko grew up, before a game to get the teams pumped up to play. But before then, it was a war cry soldiers would chant before battle.

The origin of the story comes from a Maori chief called Te Rauparaha, who back in 1820 was the leader of the Ngati Toa tribe. Te

Rauparaha was being hunted by opposing war tribes and went to a neighboring particular chief for aid.

The chief had Te Rauparaha hide in a potato pit while the wife sat above the pit to keep out intruders. Thinking he was as good as dead Te Rauparaha started to chant “Ka Mate” which means “I die.”

When he wasn’t discovered, Te Rauparaha began to slowly climb his way out of the pit and chanted “Ka Ora” which means “I live.”

Upon making it out of the pit, Te Rauparaha performed the Haka dance that is still used today.

“Whenever I see my dad do it, there’s a flip I switch and it gives my spine tingles just thinking

SOFTBALL

LSU softball reloads in circle, looks to retutn to WCWS next spring

BY KENNEDI LANDRY @landryyy14 The LSU softball team opened fall camp this week as the team comes off its fifth Super Regional appearance under head coach Beth Torina.

The Tigers are expected to continue to be Women’s College World Series favorites, as they return 14 players from the 2018 season and add eight freshmen and a graduate transfer. Torina is looking to blend that experience with the wide-eyed freshman to create an dynamic that works on the field.

“We’re just going into [the fall] with a new mindset,” junior pitcher Maribeth Gorsuch said. “It’s a new season and a new team. We have a lot of new girls and we’ve been working really hard getting to know each other on and off the field. I’m excited for the fall and the upcoming spring.”

After losing All-American pitchers Carley Hoover and Allie Walljasper to graduation, LSU is reloading in the circle.

“It’s been different after being under two All-Americans for the past two years,” Gorsuch said. “I’m super excited to step into that role, and I think we have a lot of potential on the pitching staff.”

That new pitching staff begins with Gorsuch, who is the veteran of the pitching staff. Sophomore pitcher Shelbi Sunseri was limited last season because of an injury, but Torina expects her to step up and be a leader on LSU’s young staff.

“I want to do something like Allie and Carley did,” Gorsuch said. “I think they’re both very inspiring, motivating people and I want to do something like they did. I’m hoping to make a name for myself.”

Freshmen pitchers Ali Kilponen and Shelby Wickersham are looking to step into important roles in an already solid pitching staff. Both were ranked in the top 100 on FloSoftball’s Hot 100 list, with Wickersham at No. 9 and Kilponen at No. 69.

Both Gorsuch and Torina acknowledged how hard working the freshman are and their eagerness to get on the field.

“I think we’ll adjust pretty well,” Gorsuch said. “I think that we, as a pitching staff, have to do our job in the circle for our teammates to trust us and have our back. It’s going to take some time because we are a new staff, but I’m excited about it.”

Torina believes that Gorsuch and the staff behind her will grow into their roles on the team just

like Hoover and Walljasper had to as young players.

Freshmen and transfer look to contribute As always, LSU comes into the season with a loaded recruiting class. Despite losing top pitching along with veteran center fielder Emily Griggs, the Tigers will continue to reload like they have always done.

Leading the class is University of Missouri graduate transfer Amanda Sanchez, who can be used anywhere in the infield. Sanchez brings additional SEC experience to a team already loaded with it. After going on official visits to both Florida and Oregon, in addition to LSU, she fell in love with the team and the university.

“She’s just been around the SEC and the game for a long time,” Torina said.

Sanchez was one of Mizzou’s most dangerous power hitters during her senior season, with .374 batting average and 12 home runs. She was brings a big boost in the field after being named to the SEC All-Defensive team in 2018.

“I think that I have a pretty good bat,” Sanchez said. “With the help of the coaching staff, I hope that I can help in any way that I can. I don’t really know exactly where I’m going to be

The Tigers also have six other freshmen that can be used all over the field in a variety of ways.

Even with the influx of new players, Torina still looks to seven seniors and other upperclassmen to contribute in increased leadership roles.

“As a group, we collaborate really well,” senior catcher Michaela Schlattman said.

“There’s one group that’s more vocal and can lead that way, but there’s also the group that leads by example in all aspects, whether that be softball, school or life, the freshman and underclassmen know that they can look to us as a whole and I think that’s key. I also think it’s really important.There’s so much perspective and knowledge in our class and we want to bring that and hope that the underclassmen can take that in years to come.”

Rodriguez instills confidence in LSU

BY MYLES KUSS @KussMyles

Apps open November 5.

LSU.edu/reslifejobs

It is no secret that LSU Volleyball has a young squad who have given their all on the court, but veteran leadership is what keeps the team focused and balanced through a tough schedule.

LSU (7-11, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) has had to deal with adversity from every angle this season. From winning in the stat book to being called inexperienced, the Tigers have had a hard road, yet the team has never hung their heads.

One of many contributors to this philosophy is senior outside hitter Toni Rodriguez. While she has not been in the starting lineup in every game, she has been a rotational player who contributes on the court in a number of ways.

Against Texas A&M (12-7, 5-2 SEC), she totaled 14 kills and nine digs in a contested loss.While her play speaks for itself, she believes that most of the confidence and passion of the team starts off the court.

“We have to come together as a family,” Rodriguez said. “If we connect as a family, then it will show as flow on the court.”

She has always believed in the chemistry the team, but the confidence finally led to their first SEC win against Georgia (12-7, 3-5 SEC). Rodriguez credits this win to

execution and leadership.

“Everybody was together from start to finish,” Rodriguez said. “We all rotated to where we needed to be and did not panic.”

With a win against a tough opponent, the Tigers can look back on this win and draw confidence moving forward. They want to use it as a starting point for the rest of the season.

As they move forward, Rodriguez points to an aspect that could keep the confidence alive on the court.

“The bench has been doing a great job with keeping the energy up for the people on the court,” Rodriguez said. “We need to make sure that they feel confident out there, no matter what is going on.”

From the outside, fans may not understand how the bench can be asset for a team, but Rodriguez believes the energy on the bench helps with confidence and decision making.

“Just being able to tell other people what shots are open while on the bench instills confidence,” Rodriguez said. “It lets them know that I have their back no matter what.”

Having confidence and passion from their leaders is a positive spot for the Tigers as they continue to look to improve their record.

Even so, Rodriguez believes that the team needs to continue to build both on and

LSU senior outside hitter Toni Rodriguez (25) prepares for a play during the LSU’s 1-3 loss in the PMAC against Duke on Aug. 31. off the court.

“We have nothing to lose the rest of the season,” Rodriguez said. “We need to go in and play like how we did against Georgia, the wins will come.”

The Daily Reveille

Wednesday, October 17, 2018 BROCKMEIER, from page 9 Brockmeier made seven appearances in net, not allowing a goal in any of them and making three saves.

Although the team was having success, Brockmeier felt the need for a new start, and that’s what LSU coach Brian Lee offered her.

“When I visited here, [Lee] explained to me that we’re a family here, and that’s what sold me. I was just excited to get that opportunity here,” Brockmeier said.

And so, Brockmeier was thrust into the starting goalkeeper spot for the Tigers in her first season, and in her first game against then - No. 17 Virginia Tech, made eight saves and didn’t allow a goal, giving the Tigers a 1-0 win.

Throughout her three seasons as a Tiger, Brockmeier has continued to grow, not only a player, but also a vocal leader for the team. Junior forward Marlena Cutura has been able to see that first-hand.

“Before each half, the team always huddles up, and she’s always the one hyping us up, telling us what to focus on, and that really helps us be ready to go out and play the best game we can play,” Cutura said.

As for on the field, Brockmeier’s vocal leadership and ability to help start the attack help give the backline confidence

to push up the pitch knowing that they have her to help cover for them.

“She’s so important to the success of the team, and a lot of those reasons don’t show up in the box score,” Cutura said.

While many observers may not notice the contributions Brockmeier makes other than saves, goalkeeper coach and former Tiger goalkeeper Megan Kinneman sees all of them, and has been able to help bring out the best in Brockmeier these past two seasons.

Kinneman was the last LSU goalkeeper to put up the same kind of numbers Brockmeier has, even with her 5-foot-4 stature. And at 5-foot-10, Brockmeier is able to contribute in a different way.

“It’s been fun to take a player who is very different then I was and see how I can help her,” Kinneman said. “She plays a very different style than I did and it’s been interesting trying to help her improve as a leader and a player.”

As for those contributions that don’t show up in the box score, Kinneman rattled off one after another in just a few minutes.

“She helps manage the tempo of the game with her play out of the back,” Kinneman said. “She might catch three or four crosses that don’t always get recorded as saves, and just her presence and how she manages the game

HAKA, from page 9 about it,” Fehoko said.

At the end of the dance, when Vili sticks his tongue out, there is also a special meaning, according to Fehoko.

“It means I’m going to kill you,” Fehoko said. “So when I stick my tongue out at the end, it means I’m coming.”

Saturday wasn’t the first time the team has seen Fehoko perform the Haka. At a 6 a.m. meeting before LSU’s 2017 Citrus Bowl matchup with Notre Dame, coach Ed Orgeron told Fehoko to wake the team up.

“Big Breiden,” Orgeron said that morning. “You got something for the team? Man, get your butt up here and do that Haka.”

Fehoko said learning the dance takes a long time and he doesn’t know if White and Delpit will be able to grasp it in time.

“The first thing to teach in the Haka is to understand where the back story comes from,” Fehoko said. “I think people appreciate it more if they know where the story comes from. It’s not just a dance, you’re calling on your ancestors.”

Fehoko thinks White and most of the defense could learn the Haka but doesn’t know about defensive end Rashard Lawrence.

“Devin’s got the motions down and is eager to learn it,” Fehoko said. “I don’t know about Rashard, he’s got more of a passive personality. I don’t know if he could get that mean except for a game.”

As for the future, Brockmeier isn’t sure yet if she will pursue a career as a pro, or attend physician’s assistant school.

“I’m kind of in the middle of figuring it out, but it can go either direction. We’ll see.”

Whether she decides to go pro or not, there’s no doubt that Brockmeier has left her stamp on LSU soccer, and it’s one that shouldn’t be forgotten any time soon.

LSU TIGERS, from page 9 success in the long run. These underdogs are one-week wonders that rarely find themselves in the championship conversation.

However, there are always exceptions, and I’m beginning to think that this year’s LSU team is a good example of what an exception would look like.

The Tigers were counted out before the year even began. This had less to do with spite for the purple and gold and more about the reality of LSU’s situation.

The Tigers would enter the year with a new offensive coordinator along with a huge question mark at the quarterback position. The returning running backs were largely untested, the receiving corps was green and people still didn’t know what to make of coach Ed Orgeron.

Throw in one of the toughest schedules in the country, and you have a recipe for a lackluster season.

Then, the Tigers upset the No. 8 Miami Hurricanes in the first week of the season. Many wrote the win off as a fluke win against an overrated Miami team. Two weeks later, LSU defeated No. 7 Auburn on the road. A buzz started to build around the program until the Tigers stumbled in The Swamp, the name of Florida’s field, against the No. 22 Florida Gators.

LSU was lucky in September, but it would be a rude awakening in October. At least, that’s what so many, including myself, thought. The Tigers responded by playing their most complete game of the season and defeated

Now, no one is really sure what to make of this LSU team.

The Tigers weren’t supposed to be the No. 5 team in the country at this point in the season, and they definitely shouldn’t have the best resume in the country make the playoffs. Yet, here we are halfway through October, and LSU is ranked No. 5 with a solid argument to be in the College Football Playoff if it began today.

Despite LSU’s unpredictable success this year, the Tigers still have their doubters. I still think

LSU is going to have a trouble against Mississippi State, and I don’t think school officials will have to concern themselves with paying another fine for fans rushing the field come Nov. 3. It should also be noted that nearly half of my predictions about LSU this year have been wrong.

So far, it’s been evident that the Tigers don’t care about anyone’s predictions or how they stack up in the Las Vegas odds.

LSU is more than halfway through it’s grueling regular season with its championship goals still intact. What happens next is anyone’s guess.

Fresh Junkie shows food can be both fast, healthy

For 10 years, Fresh Junkie has provided Baton Rouge with a fast and healthy option for breakfast and lunch. Owner

Fall is knocking on the doors of Baton Rouge, and Fresh Junkie will soon heed its call with its very own fresh fall options.

But for now, the eatery has its standard dishes prepared

fresh daily. The healthy salad and wrap concept is accompanied with breakfast options every day that include avocado toast, acai bowls and a full coffee service.

Urban Bros. share plantbased lifestyle

BY WHITNEY HICKS @whitchicks Brothers Willie and William Roberts started their company, Urban Bros., to share their knowledge of an all-natural, home-grown, plant-based diet for people looking to eat better and learn more.

People may simply call this a vegan diet, but Willie and William prefer the term “plant-based” because it puts an emphasis on eating whole foods grown from the earth. They also strive to consume foods grown without any malpractices we often see in the food industry today.

They adopted their plantbased diet about two years ago as a part of their health journey.

When Willie began to see significant weight loss, people wanted to know what he was doing and how they could achieve the same transformation.

Willie and William teamed up and started Urban Bros., located in Baton Rouge, to share the knowledge they had acquired about a plant-based lifestyle with others. The business offers fresh-squeezed juice blends, ginger shots and much more.

FOOD AND DRINK

Southern Grind Cofé serves 'unapologetic' food, drink

BY WHITNEY HICKS @whitchicks From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., one local cafe serves unapologetic coffee, juices and sandwiches to students, workers and everyone in between.

Southern Grind Cofé, located at 8418 Scotland Ave., opened in March 2017 to bring coffee to the neighborhood. Owner Horatio Isadore was passionate about bringing his love for coffee to the Baton Rouge area and said his experience in the city made him want to add something positive to the community.

“I wanted to be in this community,” Isadore said. “I went to Southern in the early ‘90s and it’s still very similar to when I got up here in the 2000s. I just wanted to make a difference and change, that’s all.”

Patrons often notice the

peculiar spelling of “cofé” in the business’s moniker, but Isadore said its spelling was done deliberately to give the brand a special twist. “Cofé” is actually a completely original term coined by Isadore while brainstorming names for his business.

“I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, ‘cofé!’ Cofé is two words — first part is coffee and café is the second part,” Isadore said. “We combined coffee house and café and that’s how ‘cofé’ came about.”

When getting to know the business, the term “unapologetically” appears quite often. This term can be found anywhere, from the shop itself to the signature on Isadore’s emails. Isadore believes in a philosophy of being unapologetically who you are, and he fulfills this philosophy through his business.

“Unapologetically comes from our spirit of being African-American,” Isadore said.

“That word is used and bounced around in terms of what we’re unapologetic about, being unapologetic about your culture, unapologetic about where you are, unapologetic about where you’re going.”

Isadore runs his shop with a hands-on approach. In addition to owning Southern Grind, he can also be seen taking orders, making drinks, greeting customers and wiping down tables. He said he believes it’s important for owners to have experience in all aspects of the industry to connect with the business and its patrons.

“The great Howard Schultz who started Starbucks, he worked in his shops,” Isadore AURIANNA CORDERO / The Daily Reveille

‘Private Life’ overly intimate, uncomfortable to watch

BY AMAYA LYNCH @maya09172 “Private Life” may have you wondering, “How intimate is too intimate for a movie?”

Kathryn Hahn, Paul Giamatti, Molly Shannon and John Carroll Lynch got together to portray story of love, desperation and acceptance in the film “Private Life.” The comedic-drama centers around the private struggle of a couple’s battle for fertility that is quickly made public.

The film made its Netflix debut Oct. 5 after its initial release at Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 18. It definitely gave off the indie film festival vibes because of how simply it was shot, but the story really hit you. You could feel how much they wanted a child and the lengths they were going through to have one. Still, there are some weird feelings when watching it.

As someone who is nowhere near ready to even think about the struggles the couple Rachel and Richard (Hahn and Giamatti) are going through, it felt invasive watching them go through

it. Their struggle with fertility seemed like a really intimate situation they should be going through privately. I could only guess that’s the reason the film was named “Private Life.”

The whole film feels like a trap. Of course you hope for the best as you see their struggles, but you know that there is no possible way that you’re going to get your standard happy ending. Something you can really respect the film for is its honesty.

It’s because of its lifelike unpredictability that you feel the need to stick around to see what happens. Much like life, you won’t get the feel good ending you may feel they deserve.

There’s no drama thrown in just for the sake of having it there. You experience every loss and the few victories Rachel and Richard face the same way that they do. There are fights, drama and nudity, and somehow it all fits. Everything just feels so raw and needed.

The film still finds a way to be incredibly uncomfortable to watch at times. But being uncomfortable isn’t always a bad thing,

and in this case, it makes you feel a little closer to the characters. It feels as though they let you in to a huge part of their life to experience it with them.

Its artistic value aside, the film will leave you feeling openended, almost like you missed something or like none of your questions were answered. Is it too much to ask for a real ending where the story is actually resolved? I understand life doesn’t always end exactly how you thought it would, but an ending would be nice. It’s a thoughtful close to Richard and Rachel’s struggle that shows how the characters somehow developed and stayed exactly where they were.

You won’t be missing much if you pass by “Private Life” when it pops up on your Netflix screen.

It’s definitely not a feel-good story, but watching it won’t be a complete waste of time. You’ll somehow feel connected to the characters, which is why the ending will leave you with an uneasy feeling. All you can do is hope for the best and watch how it all plays out.

‘SNL’ season 44 crucial in keeping show’s legacy alive

BY LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 In its 44th season, “Saturday Night Live” leads the airways in live, topical sketch comedy.

No other sketch comedy show comes close to matching its stature, but with a new generation of cast members and a Donald Trump presidency, the season relies on publicity stunts to make up for its lacking starpower and quality.

After losing several famous cast members in 2013 and a fallback following Trump’s hosted episode in 2015, the show looked worse than ever. The show truly needs a comeback this season, and we have already seen multiple attempts to make headlines.

The Emmy Awards in September felt more like a threehour-long “SNL” commercial than an award show, and the actor it’s only purpose was to show off Matt Damon as U.S. Suprme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and a totally-not-planned speech from controversial musical guest Kanye West. “SNL” has

obviously tried to give the show as big of a kickoff as possible to gain viewers for the rest of the year.

While the show succeeded at getting its name in the news, the overall quality of its first three episodes causes worry for the rest of the year. The first two episodes of the season were questionably good at best, but the highly anticipated episode starring former cast member and head writer Seth Meyers shouldn’t have struggled as much as it did.

I waited for the Seth Meyers episode of “Saturday Night Live” for nearly a month, and when the time finally came to watch it, I got to witness my own disappointment live. What should have been a star-studded-actors, strongly written episode turned out to feel more like a run-of-the-mill addition to the series.

Part of the reason I and many other “SNL” fans were excited about Meyers hosting the show is because we all expected something we did not get −

cameos from other former cast members. We didn’t even get to see actor and comedian Bill Hader play Meyers’ work husband Stefon, even after show’s excessive Meyers/Stefon promotion in the week preceding the episode.

I wish I could have been OK with seeing just Meyers alongside the current cast, but his episode seemed to highlight more than ever the new cast’s inability to carry the show.

Cast members Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Cecily Strong can only do so much. My generation’s cast will always hold a closer place in my heart, but the new generation just isn’t making the cut right now.

The show takes its first break of the season this week before Jonah Hill comes back to host for the fourth time with “SNL” newcomer Maggie Rogers as the musical guest.

Hill racked up some notable sketches in his past episodes, so we can only hope to find a saving grace in November’s opening show.

courtesy of NBC

“SNL” will face a lot of hardships through this season if the show’s overall strength does not improve. Actor Alec Baldwin’s Trump character can only take

the show so far, and if the rest of the show can’t pick up on its own, serious changes to the cast and writing crew should likely take place in the upcoming year.

CELEBRITY SILENCE Celebrities should use platform to promote political involvement

DEAR SOCIETY JASMINE EDMONSON @Jasmine_twt1 Celebrities are constituents and have the right to voice their political opinion.

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift infuriated fans and politicians alike when she posted a lengthy message about her political views on Instagram and encouraged her followers to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

Swift acknowledged her formerly apolitical demeanor and assured her followers she no longer feels reluctant to publicize her political views. Many slammed her after she endorsed Tennessee Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper.

Swift revealed she supports the LGBT community and condemns discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender. Further, Swift said she finds America’s systemic racism to be terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

The singer’s personal opinion on politics was enough to anger conservatives, but she took it a step further by denouncing U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who is running for re-election in Tennessee’s 7th congressional district.

Swift opened up about her troubled feelings toward the Tennessee candidate. Blackburn voted against equal pay for women and the Violence Against Women Act. She supports businesses who refuse to service gay couples and

believes gay people shouldn’t have the right to marry.

Swift’s unexpected message sparked an increase in voter registration in Tennessee and nationwide. According to vote. org’s communication director Kamarie Guthrie, registration numbers shot up to 240,000 within 48 hours after her post.

Guthrie believes many factors contributed to the increase.

Swift’s influence is undeniable, as roughly 102,000 of the registrators were between the ages 18 to 29. Most of Swift’s 112 million Instagram followers are in the same age range.

Republicans and former fans took to social media to express their anger toward Swift. Many felt Swift and other celebrities should stay silent about politics and stick to entertaining. Some politicians discredited Swift, arguing she’s ignorant about politics because she doesn’t come from a political background.

Conservative fans were shocked about Swift’s leftist views and announced they would no longer support her because her political values didn’t align with theirs.

I believe Swift was brave in her decision to share her political views with her fans. Most celebrities are hesitant to become political because they have fans from both major political parties and don’t want to alienate the people who support them.

Politics divide people.

Fans want celebrities to avoid sharing their political views because they don’t want to see their idols differently afterward. Celebrities and celebrity culture provide a means of

cartoon by ETHAN GILBERTI / The Daily Reveille

escape for many fans. It’s difficult to subscribe to someone’s life who doesn’t have the same core values as you. I understand the frustration and annoyance former “Swifties” feel, but what Swift did was profound.

Celebrities are often attacked by fans when they fail to comment publicly on social issues, even though they are dismissed when they share their political ideology. This puts celebrities in a tough situation because they receive backlash either way when all they want is to satisfy their divisive fans.

People should stop saying celebrities have absolute power — they aren’t dictators. Yes, their actions impact their fans, but it doesn’t mean their fans agree

with everything they do. Swift used her platform to encourage young people to vote. Clearly, her post didn’t persuade Republican fans to become Democrats.

Swift’s goal was to motivate her young followers to be politically aware. She’s concerned about their lack of involvement in politics.

No one is certain what made Swift decide to become political, but her plea for fans to vote came the day after Brett Kavanaugh, current Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, was confirmed after being scrutinized for sexual assault allegations. Swift is a victim of sexual misconduct, and I’m certain his confirmation greatly influenced her decision.

Swift shouldn’t get backlash for motivating her fans to use their voice so progressive change can happen. She doesn’t want them to be idle in this political climate, even though they feel underrepresented by the government. The beauty of being an American is voting for candidates whose values closely intersect with yours. The power of voting allows your desired representatives to fight for your rights.

Whether you agree or disagree with the singer, get out and vote. Like Swift, your voice counts.

The problem with censorship on social media is expanding. There have been multiple examples throughout the past few years where people have expressed their rights to freedom of speech on media outlets.

Kathy Griffin is a prime example of the right to use social media as one pleases.

She expressed her views in a gory, offensive way; yet, this post was completely her right as an American citizen.

It is the right of those offended to post how they feel about the subject matter. But, the University has no right to punish the student in any way for expressing her opinion. Her opinion is her opinion, and it is unlawful to marginalize this student for her personal opinions and appearances in Snapchat posts.

Scare tactics ineffective in drug prevention, safety SMITT’S TEA

JAMES SMITH @itssmitt I placed second in the D.A.R.E. essay contest in middle school. I remember that I enjoyed my time in the program and even grew to admire the police officer who led the class.

A few years down the road, I found myself doing all of the same drugs that I had sworn off in that D.A.R.E. class. I also found myself not being exposed to any other drug diversion or drug education classes post-middle school.

Thankfully, I did my own research on websites such as Bluelight.org and Erowid.org. I educated myself and other curious friends. If I wouldn’t have taken those precautionary steps prior to ingesting a substance, I

could have easily suffered some dire consequences.

The stakes are higher now than they were when I began experimenting a few years ago. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that can be 50 times stronger than heroin, is as prevalent as ever. The drug is making its way into cocaine and the data is startling.

A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in May recorded that the number of overdose deaths, mainly involving fentanyl, jumped from around 3,000 to over 19,000 from 2010 to 2016. Cocaine was a factor in about 22 percent of those deaths.

This is frightening because cocaine is a stimulant whereas fentanyl is a depressant.

Recreational cocaine users usually aren’t looking to nod off after snorting a line. They’re two completely different

D.A.R.E. was developed by law enforcement and school officials in 1983 to provide youths a formal way of introducing drug use information. drug markets.

There are ways to prevent and reverse a fentanyl overdose.

Fentanyl test strips are available online for only $20. Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, is available over the counter at most drug stores and online.

Basic information regarding drug use, harm reduction and overdose reversal should be made widespread and popularized.

Everyone should know how to respond to an overdose, how to approach a friend who might be struggling with addiction and how to safely do drugs if they wish.

I’m sure I’m representative of a large amount of the population when I say that D.A.R.E. didn’t have much of a lasting effect on me. I’m also sure that I stand apart from much of that population when I say that I educated myself on safe drug use.

Harm reduction is a practical solution to those unsettling statistics I mentioned earlier. Scaring kids away from drugs didn’t work for me or the 19,000 people who lost their lives in 2016 due to an accidental fentanyl overdose.

What might actually save lives is mandatory harm reduction education in high school and other awareness campaigns. High school

students are old enough to understand that some of their peers, or themselves, may experiment with drugs. They’re also old enough to understand that drugs can easily kill.

If abstinence-based education does little to solve the problem of unwanted teenage pregnancies, then what makes educators think a “just say no” approach to drug use will solve the drug epidemic? We need a combination of de-stigmatization and sensible harm reduction education to save lives.

Traffic cones show larger picture of decrepit infrastructure THE MODERATE’S PROPOSAL PATRICK GAGEN @PattyGagen Baton Rouge’s decrepit infrastructure is a paradoxical symbol of political malign. Louisiana Democrats believe road infrastructure is underfunded and Republicans believe it’s inefficient, and they’re just as right as they are wrong. The Transportation Trust Fund is both underfunded and inefficient. Both political parties, however, agree that deficient roads have a big economic impact both locally and nationally.

Nationally, driving on poor roads costs motorists approximately $112 billion in additional repair and operating per year.

Moreover, traffic congestion wasted 6.9 billion hours of driver’s travel time and nearly 3.1 billion gallons of fuel. Between poor road conditions and traffic, motorists and businesses alike lose billions annually in terms of time and money.

Louisianans are especially impacted by deficient road infrastructure. In 2017, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave Louisiana a D+ grade.

Other than this state’s pub-

lic education system, which is of a quality closer to a third-world country than the most prosperous country in the history of the world, this state’s lack of infrastructure serves as an anchor for economic growth. Infrastructure in this state is truly pitiful, and for many, it’s representative of a government that serves itself better than its citizens.

Nothing epitomizes the inefficiencies of state government quite like the liberal usage of traffic cones. While traffic cones are traditionally used as devices to temporarily direct traffic away from ongoing construction projects, here in Louisiana, they are more often used to signal or cover potholes for indefinite periods of time.

Before attending the University and living in Baton Rouge, I had never quite appreciated the utility of traffic cones.

I would be inclined to marvel at such ingenuity, except for acknowledging the suspension damage that has been done to my car in my three years here. Although, in spite of a state government that sabotages the welfare of its citizens on a much too frequent basis, the humble traffic cone is rarely celebrated for its contribution to Baton Rouge.

The simple solution for Democrats is to raise taxes, which would work if this state’s government wasn’t as corrupt as it is incompetent and selfsabotaging. For example, from 1991 to 2015, state police robbed the Transportation Trust Fund of $679 million to pay for traffic control. The irony of the state police stealing money from taxpayers is certainly not lost on Louisianans whose view of government is justifiably bleak.

Louisiana is in quite a paradigm, but maybe it’s unduly pessimistic to say that things can’t be turned around — that taxpayer money will be appropriately allocated to improving road infrastructure.

Maybe state bureaucrats will do right by the good people of Louisiana. However, with only 11 percent of the Transportation Trust Fund’s money going toward road and bridge projects, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

For many Louisianans, all hope is lost for much needed infrastructure improvements.

It almost certainly contributes to the exodus of University students upon receiving an undergraduate degree. Of the Universtiy student body, 83 percent are from Louisiana and

roughly half stay in the state after graduating. Soon, I may be among that percentage of students who can’t justify staying, and while poor road infrastructure wasn’t the sole cause,

it definitely didn’t help.

Off campus apartment complexes neglect student safety I SAID WHAT I SAID MAYA STEVENSON @colormemaya As many of us know, housing from the University is unnecessarily expensive. It’s also largely without benefits. Due to this, many college students choose to live in off-campus housing, which surrounds the University.

On almost every corner outside of campus, there is an option for students to sign an air-tight lease.

With the many promotions these complexes run combined with their seemingly low rates, it’s a college student’s dream.

Add in the awesome amenities and fully-furnished rooms, and it’s hard to beat. However, it’s not without drawbacks − the biggest one being safety.

Last month, English junior Kelsi Flores was robbed at Wildwood Apartments, one of the many complexes along Nicholson Drive and Ben Hur Road.

Flores was leaving for her 5 a.m. shift when she was approached by a suspect who held her at gunpoint. The male took Flores’ car, and Flores contacted authorities.

Baton Rouge Police Department made an arrest six days later.

Other students have described their horrible, sometimes life-threatening, experiences across various social media pages for student groups.

One student posted a video of two men breaking into her apartment at a complex along Ben Hur, in hopes someone would recognize them.

There are many students who have posted pictures of broken car windows after having their cars being broken into overnight.

An incredibly terrifying account posted on Twitter described a resident of a student-living complex waking up to a man on the side of her bed. She also said her apartment complex hardly did anything about it.

In any living environment, there are certain risks associated with living there. I don’t claim to think like a criminal mastermind, but I find it hard to believe thieves believe college students to have any extraordinarily valuable possessions. However, the frequency of these crimes is what concerns me. Student-living complexes don’t take the necessary precautions to ensure student safety. Their lack of prevention or assistance in regard to these types of situations is evident.

The lack of entrance and exit gates at many of the complex-

es surrounding campus is also alarming. This allows anyone open access into the complexes, giving them the option to choose a residence at random to do their dirty work.

Some crimes are committed by perpetrators on foot, but installing gates at entrances and exits would definitely help in aiding crime prevention. Frankly, these complexes make too much money off students not to have gates. Gates are a reasonable security measure, and it’s lazy of these complexes not to have them.

The apartment complexes do have cameras, but many of them don’t work or only cover limited areas of the complex. That’s a head-scratcher right there. Many complexes don’t have cameras in their parking lots or outside of the buildings. If they do, they don’t work. Identification goes a long way in making an arrest in crime incidents. Unless you’re face-to-face with the assailant and are able to identify them, cameras are the only reasonable way to identify criminals.

Complexes claim to have around-the-clock security. It’s usually a rent-a-cop. When I lived on campus, I could count on various cop cars patrolling at any given time. I’m not sure how

Having an actual cop around hardly seems unreasonable.

The University and the surrounding areas are not welllit. Many complexes are built along dark stretches of road, and once you’re in the complex, it’s even darker.

Student − living complexes pocket a rather large amount of money from their residents and

could afford any of the solutions proposed. While the amenities and the apartments are nice, I think safety should be the top concern all-around. Implementing more safety measures could go a long way in reducing crime in the communities.
