“Starving the Beast” documentary forecasts future of public universities BY CAITIE BURKES @caitie1221 The Journalism Building’s Holliday Forum welcomed political strategist James Carville, film professor-turneddirector Steve Mims and LSU President F. King Alexander for a nighttime screening of Mims’ “Starving the Beast” documentary Monday night. According to its press kit summary, “Starving the Beast” takes a closer look
at the “on-going power struggle” between politically-driven market forces and public universities which plagues college campuses nationwide. The film also follows the “philosophical shift” of public universities from a societal good to a value proposition, examining cases at the University of Wisconsin, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, University of Texas and Texas

A bill that would make it easier for higher education officials to raise tuition and fees at Louisiana colleges and universities passed through a Senate committee without objection on Monday. SB 80 by Sen. Dan “Blade” Morrish, R-Jennings, would go to a statewide vote of the public in November if passed. If approved, higher education governing boards will be allowed to raise tuition and fees on their own. Currently, the Legislature has oversight on tuition increases. Tuition and fees have nearly doubled at some schools in the past nine years, as the state reduced the amount it contributed to higher education. But the average tuition for Louisiana schools still ranks below the Southern Regional Education Board average and well below the national average. Morrish told the committee the law would go into effect after a bill by Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, is passed to decouple TOPS from tuition, which is expected. A handful of lawmakers have bills that would give tuition autonomy to schools, but all rely on the assumption that TOPS and tuition are separated. Currently, TOPS increases when tuition increases, and the cost of the popular tuitionpaying program has ballooned to nearly $300 million per year.

Middleton maintenance backlog embodies statewide issue BY SAMUEL CARTER KARLIN @samkarlin The state of Middleton Library, which has become the University’s poster child for a $2 billion backlog in money for repairs at colleges throughout Louisiana, was thrust into a discussion of dilapidated campus buildings with leaky roofs and exposed wiring at a state Senate committee on Monday. Sen. Ryan Gatti, R-Bossier City, presented a bill before the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs committee that would require capital outlay money dedicated to higher
education to be spent on deferred maintenance — buildings and projects that have fallen into disrepair and need attention. For the upcoming year, the Board of Regents already recommended the Legislature only give schools money for repairs, not new projects. The Board also requested money for ongoing new projects. “What the public has seen,” said Chairman J.P. Morrell, DNew Orleans, “[is] a greater desire to build a new student-athlete pavilion than a library, which 99.9 percent of the students use.” Morrell noted the “leaking
foundation” and peeling wallpaper of LSU’s main campus library. There is $2 billion in unfunded repairs for schools throughout the state, and Regents Chair Richard Lipsey has vocally advocated for fixing campus buildings. Gatti’s bill ran into some trouble as higher education officials questioned how it would affect private donations for new projects, many of which are funded partly by donations and partly by the state.

Organizations offer free assistance, aid to sexual assault survivors BY TRENT PARKER @trentparker_TDR Stalking, sexual assault and other forms of sexual misconduct can be disruptive to the academic and personal lives of survivors, but there are several campus organizations to assist students in dealing with the aftermath of such cases. LSU Cares is an initiative that expedites the student and faculty reports ranging from
sexual misconduct and hazing to students who appear to be in distress and may need assistance. “Any time a student is concerned about a situation or another student or something they may be going through, please try to report that.” Student Advocacy and Accountability coordinator Eddie St. Vil said. “If you don’t know where to start, try to start here. We can connect students with

harassment.” Students who approach the Lighthouse Program are invited to confidentially discuss their situation with a staff member, who then assesses what relevant organizations and resources may be of assistance. This can include emotional support, legal aid such as help filing a police report, collecting physical evidence of sexual assault and help relocating their residence. Survivors may be referred to organizations like the Baton Rouge Iris Domestic Violence Center, which supported 3,395 men and women during 2015. Academic accommodations are available to minimize stress and help reduce the effect of the experience on a survivor’s education. “We can get you registered for things like longer [time] on assignments, extended time on tests, taking a test in a distraction reduced environment.” Fowler said. When working with the Lighthouse Program, survivors are not required to report what happened to law enforcement, allowing them to determine how they wish to proceed in handling their case. “We really give them all the options available to them then let them make the decision,” Fowler said. “They were typically in a situation where they didn’t have an option or power to make their own decisions, so we really want to empower them to make the decisions about what’s best for them.” Staff can also assist survivors in creating safety plans to maximize their protection and so they know what to do if they encounter their assailant, particularly in cases where the assailant is frequently on University grounds. “Does this person know what classes you’re taking? If you see this person on campus, where are some safe places you can go? Who are some people you can call right away?” Fowler said. The safety plans often recommend those with protective orders against their assailants keep a physical copy on hand at all times. This guards against police computer glitches or missing database entries which could mistakenly indicate to responding officers that no such order exists. “If that person does approach you or see you, you can call [the police] and be able to furnish a copy of that report.” Fowler said.

FINAL DISMOUNT
Randii Wyrick, Jessica Savona, Michelle Gauthier leave program better than they inherited it BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR
To LSU coach D-D Breaux, her departing seniors — Randii Wyrick, Jessica Savona and Michelle Gauthier — will leave behind a tangible and impalpable legacy. Representing their four years in purple and gold, bonded to leadership and guidance, their careers dismounted and pushed LSU to its best finish in program history at the Super Six on Saturday as the National Runner-Up. “They’re going to leave with trophies,” Breaux, in the “proudest” moment of her 39-season career, said. “They’re going to leave with incredible memories. The building blocks, and the foundation that they have laid, those three seniors have been through a lot.” The trio was considered to Breaux as the “heartbeat” of LSU’s team. Less through medals and perfect scores, but more to keep the team focused, chipper and prepared — the three senior all-arounders constructed a new meaning for successful LSU gymnastics, but in a different way than most senior classes have before. “I can’t tell you what they mean to us,” Breaux said on Saturday. photos by JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK
Mainieri cautions team about remaining midweek matchups BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR As some Americans sweated out the last-minute filing of income tax returns Monday, LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri reminded his team about what Tax Day represented. Coming off a series sweep against Missouri, the irregular Tax Day date marked the midway point of Southeastern Conference play. After a 2-4 start in the conference, the No. 5 Tigers (25-11, 9-6 SEC) sit in second in the SEC West standings after 15 league games. Having won nine of the last 11 games, Mainieri isn’t surprised his team is in the thick of
conference title contention. “I told the guys, ‘When Tax Day hits, we’ll be a better team than we were in March,’” Mainieri said. “We’ll be better in March than we were in February. And, hopefully, we’ll be better in May than we are in April. We’ve still got a lot of work to do. Twenty games left — 15 in this league — and there’s not a single gimme in the group.” As Mainieri pointed out, the Tigers are only one game back of the 10-5 conference start by last year’s team. Similarly to this year’s team, the 2015 team had a home series loss in its first half of the league schedule. However, LSU is in spot in the national picture, ranking No.
13 in RPI and No. 7 in strength of schedule, according to D1Baseball.com. Even with the success LSU is starting to see, Mainieri encourages his players to “purge” the series sweep of Missouri from their memory to focus on what lies ahead. Wednesday, the Tigers host Southeastern Louisiana, which has already beaten Tulane twice. Then, No. 7 Mississippi State heads to Alex Box Stadium for a three-game series this weekend. The series against the Bulldogs is followed by a midweek road trip against the Green Wave, which is barely outside

LSU ends conference skid with solid pitching, offensive burst BY MARC STEVENS @MarcStevens_TDR After one of the worst hitting slumps in a three-game set in LSU softball history, the team took a step in the right direction over the weekend. The No. 11 Tigers won two of three contests against Mississippi State in a comeback effort to take the Southeastern Conference series. Saturday and Sunday’s wins were much needed in the conference, as the team dropped three of its last four series in league play. “This was a big series for us to move this team forward and continue to build our confidence,” said LSU head coach Beth Torina. “We’ve been trying to get better all season long, and I like how we improved this weekend.” Torina’s squad dropped the first game in Starkville, Mississippi, to extend its SEC-losing streak to five-straight. But the Tigers won in a 12-inning thriller Saturday, which run-ruled the
MIDWEEK, from page 3 Baseball America’s top-25 after a series loss to Cincinnati — a team LSU swept to open up the season. Then, LSU travels to Oxford, Mississippi for road series against No. 15 Ole Miss. LSU also hosts No. 2 Florida in the last regular season series of the year. The recurring strength of the SEC, which has eight ranked teams in Baseball America’s current poll, gives Mainieri reason to say that the SEC is the “Major Leagues of College Baseball.” But he cautions his players about the five remaining midweek games, especially because of earlier midweek losses against Lamar, Tulane and McNeese State. “Those nonconference games in the middle of the week end up having a lot to do with whether or not you become a regional host at the end of the year,” Mainieri said. Future of Latz, Lochridge still up in the air Although Mainieri expressed optimism about his team’s direction, the same couldn’t be said about two of his injured players. Redshirt freshman left-hander Jake Latz and freshman third baseman O’Neal Lochridge are still not healthy enough to play, and Mainieri is unsure about if, or when, either player will return this season. Latz, who sat out his entire true freshman season and had surgery on his throwing elbow in the fall, made his collegiate debut against McNeese State, where he started and threw 1.1 innings. But Latz, once again, is feeling discomfort in the area of the surgery, Mainieri said. “It’s just the most baffling thing I’ve ever dealt with as a coach, honestly,” Mainieri said. Mainieri wasn’t certain if
Bulldogs on Sunday to end the drought. In its previous weekend matchup against Kentucky, LSU was 1-for-40 from the plate with runners on base and left 25 on base throughout the three-game series. While the Tigers still stranded 34 on the bases against Mississippi State, their bats finally stepped up in the final two matchups. LSU’s batters combined for 26 hits in the final two games in Starkville. The team had a mere 27 hits in its previous six SEC matchups combined. The offense finally looked like it did prior to the start of conference play — run-ruling opponents and securing double digit hit totals nearly each week. “I loved seeing the Fighting Tigers tonight, seeing the offense show up and continue to battle through some tough situations,” Torina said after the 12-inning 5-2 win. “I’m really hoping this can be our breakout moment
where we understand what we’re capable of.” The team’s pitching staff has been there all season, but the conference rotation may now add a new member. Freshman Sydney Smith earned her first career SEC win in Sunday’s game and relieved sophomores Carley Hoover and Allie Walljasper, the top-two gunslingers in LSU’s bullpen. “It was a big day for [Smith], getting her first SEC win,” Torina said. “We saw her have a lot of success Friday night and we knew this day was coming for her.” Each of the team’s three series losses have come in series when Torina started just Hoover and Walljasper. When the fifthyear coach started all three pitchers, LSU won its last two series. The Tigers defeated then-No. 9 Georgia when all three pitchers started, but were swept by Kentucky after Torina went back to the two-hurler system.

“We’ve still got a lot of work to do. Twenty games left — 15 in this league — and there’s not a single gimme in the group.” PAUL MAINIERI LSU baseball coach Latz would see a doctor soon. The only thing the 10th-year coach could say definitively is Latz isn’t yet ready to appear in another game. “I don’t know exactly what he’s going to do, honestly,” Mainieri said. “I shouldn’t even speak because he’s not ready to pitch. He’s not going to be pitching in a game right now. So, I’m just going to have to wait and see. I wish I could tell you a good answer, but I don’t have one.” Meanwhile, Lochridge seemed be on the mend after suffering a flare up in a back stress fracture, but Mainieri said the Lafayette, Louisiana native has “not improved.” Lochridge practiced last week prior to the McNeese State game and went through warmups before the April 12 matchup, but he isn’t game ready and will be out all week, Mainieri said. Lochridge has not appeared in a game since the series opener against Ball State on March 11. “I’m concerned that we’ll see him back this year,” Mainieri said. “We have to go with how he feels. We tried to push it last week. He was feeling great. He went through a full practice, and then he hit in pregame the next day. It’s just when he’s hitting that he feels it. So, we have to do what’s right for the boy. It’s not as bad as it once was, but it’s still preventing him from being able to play.”

[Left to right] Senior all-arounders Michelle Gauthier, Jessica Savona and Randii Wyrick celebrate after the Tigers take National Runner Up in the Super Six finals on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.
SENIORS, from page 3 Tangibly, Wyrick, Savona and Gauthier were critical pieces to three Super Six appearances, four Regional championships and two of LSU’s best finishes in school history at respective times — in third in 2014 and this past season in second. The triad combined to accumulate 10 in-meet individual titles, nine SEC Academic Honor Roll awards, four NCAA Scholastic All-American honors and personal career-high scores of 9.950 on floor and vault for Savona, 9.925 on floor and bars for Wyrick and 9.875 on beam and floor for Gauthier. Their gymnastics was stellar, and what they meant to the program is incomprehensible, Breaux said. Unequivocally, they will leave the LSU gymnastics program in a better condition than they found it, LSU gymnasts and coaches said.
“It’s been so amazing to be a part of something so great,” Wyrick said. In one case — to sophomore all-arounder Myia Hambrick — their influence in, and out, of competition has bettered her as a gymnast. Everything they did was helpful and exemplary, she said. “Even now, they’re like, ‘this is so great, I don’t want to leave,’” Hambrick said. “Speaking wise, and through actions, everything they did was an example … That will be missed. When asked about looking back at the four-year struggles of leaving their respective homes in Las Vegas (Wyrick), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, (Savona) and Mandeville, Louisiana, (Gauthier), Breaux summed up their four-year experience with a smile saying the chance was a “gift.” “Being able to come to a community that so much bigger than myself,” Wyrick said. “Being
able to represent an awesome University. Everything that LSU embodies, it’s an honor to be able to wear those three letters on my chest.” Looking forward, Wyrick said she expects LSU’s gymnastics program to continue its growth toward one of the nation’s most elite programs. Similarly to the program’s status before they arrived — it is on the rise. “Great things are to come,” she said. With Wyrick, Savona and Gauthier leaving, LSU will lose five, and infrequently six, of its primetime routines — Gauthier’s occasional beam, Wyrick’s bars, floor and Savona’s floor, vault and bars. Junior all-arounders Sydney Ewing, Shae Zamardi and Gnat are to become the team’s new leaders after April as succeeding seniors. “I’ve got big shoes to fill,” Gnat said.

Thrive to host Third Street Grub Crawl BY DILLON LOWE @d_lowe96
Theater production brings cyclist awareness to community BY LAUREN HEFFKER | @laurheffker
NICHOLAS MARTINO / The Daily Reveille
“The White Bicycle” will run April 20-24 in the HopKins Black Box Theatre. Whether traveling through campus by car, foot or bike, the University’s newest theater production will cross students’ paths. “The White Bicycle,” a HopKins Black Box Theatre production, will run from Wednesday to Sunday in 137 Coates Hall. Communication studies doctoral candidate Nicole Costantini wrote and directed the play. The New Yorker based it on her dissertation research of ghost
bikes and memorials, as well as her own personal narrative. The idea for the show came when Costantini drove past a ghost bike — a white bicycle usually left immobile at the site where a cyclist was killed or injured — and didn’t know what it meant. As she learned more about the subject and studied various memorials, she wrote a paper on it and decided to produce her first show. Costantini recognized that ghost bikes
are the only type of memorial marker highly specific to this type of death. “When people see a ghost bike, the people who created it want them to see what’s on the road and what happened there,” she said. Costantini studies how different communities interact with ghost bikes and said the show is an overall reflection of that. Ultimately, she wants people to pay more attention to what they are doing and

THRIVE Academy, a boarding school for underprivileged Baton Rouge youth, is set to host its second annual 3rd Street Grub Crawl on Thursday. “It’s essentially a big block party on Third Street,” THRIVE founder Sarah Broome said. From 6-9 p.m., attendees can walk Third Street in downtown Baton Rouge while taking in the smells and sounds of the city. The majority of the bars and restaurants on Third Street have partnered with THRIVE this year, offering food and drink specials to all of the attendees. Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased on the event’s website. Each ticketholder will be given a wristband upon arrival that will grant them access to specials up and down Third Street. All of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go directly to THRIVE, as well as a portion of the proceeds made from each restaurant throughout the night. Broome said she was inspired to launch THRIVE after one of her students was killed in a violent fight in 2010. Seeing such a bright girl pass away so early in her life due to inadequate living conditions and poor education made her wish that more could be done for these children during a traditional school day, she said. Broome felt that some of her students needed more time and

LASM to host ‘Art After Hours’ event with exhibit BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler
Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are reuniting at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum. Art After Hours: The Many Faces of Animation celebrates the fascinating history and exciting future of the beloved art form with an event on April 21. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and is being held in conjunction with two larger exhibits, “The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons” and “The Origins of Animation: A Hands-on Exhibit.” The event covers all aspects
of animation, from 1940s drawings to computer imaging and the technology of today. Ken Wesley, an instructor with the University’s Digital Media Arts and Engineering program, is a 20-year veteran in the animation and visual effects industry and is speaking at Art After Hours. “Wesley will give a talk, which will pull everything together — the history of animation, the movie and computer gaming industry and also, what’s to come in the future,” Director of Interpretation for Art and Museum Curator Elizabeth Weinstein said. Along with his experience at
LSU, Wesley has also worked extensively as a technical director. He worked on films such as “The Hulk,” “Mission Impossible,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.” Wine and appetizers will be included with museum admission. “The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons” is currently on an international tour and will be on view at the museum until July 24. There are more than 100 original pieces on display, spanning 1930-1960. These art pieces

YOUNG MONEY
Money management important for millennials’ economic security JAY TALKING JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford Are you a millennial? If so, statistically speaking, you suck at managing your money. A 2015 study on millennials by Pricewaterhouse Coopers and George Washington University’s Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center found several negative trends with our handling of money, including that we are the least financially literate generation. If we used this study to describe the typical millennial, they would look something like this: low financial literacy, debt bearing, not saving for retirement and concerned about student loans. They probably also talk about Bernie Sanders while at Starbucks — did you see him at Coachella? So hip! The negative trends identified by the survey, in my opinion, can all be boiled down to two root causes: our low financial literacy and our lack of seeking professional help with our finances. Only 24 percent of millennials demonstrated basic financial literacy, according to the study. Even worse, only eight percent possessed high financial literacy. That’s bad. That’s as bad as taking a test hungover. Improving financial literacy is essential to financial success. Luckily, personal finance is not difficult when you focus the proper time and effort on it.
So where do you start if you want to learn about finances? My advice to you: read. Read personal finance websites such as investopedia. com, wisebread.com and kiplinger. com. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even read The Wall Street Journal. There’s a whole list of TED Talks on YouTube the topic of personal finance that are informative, engaging and well worth your time. Even watching movies like “The Wolf of Wall Street” can teach you a thing or two about money. If you’re really serious about taking control of your finances, I suggest taking the personal finance course, FIN 1060, offered here at the University. It covers topics such as budgeting, investing and retirement planning. Even if you take all of my advice, you’ll still need help from professional financial advisers. According to the previous study, only 27 percent sought professional financial advice on saving and investments within the past five years, and only 12 percent sought professional advice on debt management. Given our lack of financial knowledge, not seeking professional help is extremely detrimental. The only reasons I know about what professional advice is out there is because I’m a finance major. People giving professional advice on finances come with many titles, including financial planners, wealth managers, financial advisers and accountants. It’s true that financial professionals are seen as a service for the wealthy. However, there are still ways you can utilize these professionals once you start your
first job. The first place to start is talking to friends and family. They may know a professional willing to help you. For example, if your parents use a financial planner, they may be willing to help you, also. If you decide to use a stockbroker for your investments, they may include giving financial advice in their fees or might be willing to help you out anyway. Recently, there has been a movement to merge easily accessible technology with professional financial planning. For example, learnvest.com gives you a customized plan and a financial planning professional you can email at any time. All this costs only a $299 setup cost and an additional $19 a month. There are a handful of other services similar to LearnVest, so research all your options if you choose this method. You may not know it, but you’re already paying for professional financial advice. That’s right, your fee bill helps to pay for the LSU Cale P. and Katherine Smith Student Financial Management Center located in the Student Union. Check them out before you graduate. No matter how you find it, getting professional advice on your financial situation will be a huge benefit and pay off in the end. That, coupled with taking the time to learn more about personal finance, will help keep millennials from being the generation that doesn’t know how to handle money.

Celebrity culture detracts from artistry at Coachella HARP ON IT
JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin In case you didn’t realize from the endless tabloid coverage, this past weekend was Coachella’s first weekend, and festival goers allegedly listened to music in between stalking celebrities. The legendary art and music festival brought an impressive lineup for its 17th iteration, with headliners Guns N’ Roses, LCD Soundsystem, Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding and Ice Cube. But the headliners’ performances weren’t the sole focus of the festival’s media coverage. If you’ve scrolled through Twitter this weekend, you’ve likely seen Taylor Swift and her squad’s shenanigans during #Bleachella. The pop star used the weekend to debut her new, edgy platinum blonde hair, partaking in the celebrity driven experience Coachella is known for. In recent years, Coachella has become a haven for A-list celebrities to frolic around in the Colorado Desert wearing the latest appropriated

The sun sets during Coachella 2014 as the balloon chain and Lightweaver art instillation sway in the background. fashion trends. Popular mainstays include the cast of the Twilight series back when they were relevant, the Kardashians and Rihanna and whatever drugs she’s currently into. At Coachella, celebrities are able to wander about freely without paparazzi swarming them. They even walk to and from performances with the rest of the commonfolk. The only difference is they
have super exclusive VIP passes that get them closer to stages and inside lavish sponsored tents. Celebrity spotting has become a staple of the Coachella experience for wannabe hipsters and thirsty thirty somethings. Who doesn’t want to take a selfie with Queen of Coachella, Vanessa Hudgens? While the celebrities in attendance may add a unique
aspect for patrons, they also take away from what the festival is supposed to be about: music. Seriously, look at how much coverage of performances that didn’t have an A-list celebrity guest join onstage. If Taylor Swift, Lorde and the Haim sisters weren’t dancing along to a performance in the audience, it evidently didn’t matter. The festival is supposed to
be a frills-free weekend where people from all circles of life bond over music. It was once the coolest mutual admiration society on the face of the Earth. These days it’s more about creeping up next to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to see what they’re smoking. I get we live in 2016 and people — including myself — are constantly refreshing their Twitter feeds, but sometimes it’s best to disconnect. Whenever Taylor Swift has to dye her hair platinum blonde in an attempt to maintain a sense of privacy at a public festival, we have a problem. Celebrities should obviously be allowed to attend Coachella and every other music festival. Attendees need to understand that celebrities are people. Maybe they want to get high and sit on their bodyguard’s shoulders without some local teen in their face trying to get a picture for TMZ. Here’s to hoping the second weekend of Coachella is more relaxed than the first. John Gavin Harp is a 21-yearold mass communication junior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.
Antimicrobial resistance detrimental to society, should be priority ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley While everyone was out this weekend doing unspeakable things in Tigerland, 12 countries in the Asia Pacific region pledged to do something about antimicrobial resistance, an important topic we need to address. For those who don’t know, which I assume is nearly everyone, antimicrobial resistance is when a microbe becomes resistant to antibiotics and other similar drugs through mutation. This type of threat, much like climate change, transcends borders and socioeconomic levels. “It is a looming health and economic crisis that requires both global and local solutions,” World Health Organization regional director for Southeast Asia Poonam Khetrapal Singh said. “Since drug resistant genes can travel, countries with higher levels of economic and social organizations have a stake in the success of measures taken by less developed countries. In the fight against antimicrobial resistance, we are only as strong as the weakest link.” According to UK chancel-
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A report from IMS Health estimates patients, insurers, government programs and other payers spent a combined $309.5 billion last year on prescription medicines. lor George Osborne, antimicrobial resistance could become a greater threat than cancer by 2050, killing 10 million people per year by that time. To put this concern in economic perspectives, he said antimicrobial resistance could cut
global Gross Domestic Product by 3.5 percent, costing the world $100 billion collectively. This situation might seem unrealistic, but we’re already seeing the effects of antimicrobial resistance today. For example, as of 2012, gonorrhea has mutated so much that
only one drug can now treat the disease, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. This potential epidemic only highlights the need for universal, public health care. The private sector is great for innovating profit-driven technology
and services, but health care doesn’t fall under that category. Eradicating diseases can’t be profit-driven because some people might have a disease but wouldn’t be able to afford a cure without some sort of government assistance. I’m not saying drug companies are inherently evil. The system’s profit-driven drug creation discourages these companies from creating cures and developing new drugs. Their survival depends on making money from drugs. If we want to find cures or fight antimicrobials, the government needs to oversee the production and creation of new drugs and take away the profit incentive. However, we also need a universal health care plan, like the rest of the world, to make sure everyone in the country is safe from antimicrobials and other diseases. Keeping our species safe and protecting other humans shouldn’t be reduced to profits. We need to do everything we can to slow the rate of antimicrobial resistance before it gets out of hand. Our species can’t wait. Cody Sibley is a 20-yearold mass communication sophomore from Opelousas, Louisiana.

THRIVE, from page 5 more services than any traditional school could be expected to provide, motivating her to offer the local students an alternative. So, THRIVE was born: a boarding school where kids are looked after, nurtured and given a chance at the best of what life has to offer. THRIVE’s main goal is to promote independence and self-sufficiency in its students through a combination of nurturing and responsibility that, hopefully, will help break the community’s cycle of poverty. The school began with a class
AFTER HOURS, from page 5 show the step-by-step process that went into the making of the animations, Weinstein said. “It’s a multi-generational exhibition,” Weinstein said. “For some people, it will be nostalgic. Most of us remember Saturday morning cartoons as a favorite pastime. We hope it will be really fun.” The exhibition showcases “cel” animation, in which each frame of the scene is drawn and painted by hand on sheets of celluloid. A six minute cartoon required thousands of drawings and took up to one year to produce, according to a press release. The exhibit details the extensive animation process and showcases the developing of characters, the finished product and promotional drawings, Weinstein said. The museum has cartoons playing on monitors and a theater was set up with over an hour of cartoon footage. “The Origins of Animation: A Hands-on Exhibit” allows visitors to make their own animations. Cartoons, the magic lantern, the zoetrope and the thaumatrope are all on display and serve as devices used in the creation of movement. LASM commissioned 12 local artists to make flip books, which are also
graduate students, communication studies junior Gabrielle Vigueira and communication studies senior Jasmine Alexander, to participate in the production. Both cast members play a series of different roles that represent the community as a whole. “[It’s] not just being aware of
ghost bikes, but that [business} translates into every aspect of your life: being conscious of how you affect other people, and how people affect you,” Vigueira said. For Alexander, the show carried personal significance after her fiancé was hit by a car while riding his bike two weeks ago. “That just shows the faults in the infrastructure, bicycle safety and the lack of respect, and the tension of automobile versus bike, so now that’s really important to me,” Alexande said.

Currently, THRIVE accommodates grades 6-9, but Broome plans to expand to 12th grade within a few years. The campus, currently located on Government Street, will be moved to a new location on Brightside Drive in August for the 2016-17 school year. Residential life at this new location will be similar to residential life on the original campus, with students living in family units and sharing chore responsibilities, such as cooking meals and doing laundry. on display, Weinstein said. “We’re an art and science museum so animation equates to creativity, optics and human ingenuity all rolled together,” Weinstein said. “When you think of today’s focus on computer technology, it becomes a really appropriate subject for us to make available.” Throughout this process, Weinstein said she has learned the vast scope of the early film industry and the influence of these animators on society. Admission into LASM is $9 for adults and $7.50 for students with ID. Students are only required to pay on their first visit, which will provide them with a complimentary one-year membership.

“They also have access to sports programs, art opportunities, after school tutoring and things like that,” Broome said. “It’s a pretty well-rounded program that they have access to.” The new location also benefits most of THRIVE’s residential advisers. The employees who work with the children in the evenings are also University students that are provided housing on campus in addition to their salaries. “That’s another part of the reason we’re excited to be moving closer to LSU,” Broome said. “It’ll be a lot more convenient for our folks that actually attend the school.”

Costantini said she hopes guests will be able to take away this important message from the play, so less cases, like those that happened to Alexander and her fiancé, will happen. “I hope people will look at how we’re using the streets and how we share it with other people,” Costantini said. “If we’re all aware, then people don’t have to put up ghost bikes.” Admission to the show is free. The play starts at 7:30 p.m. each night, until its final Sunday showing at 2:30 p.m.

the actions of those around them. The bike serves as a form of installation art, Costantini said, and acts as a form of activism for the cycling community, as well as a memorial. “I’ve been looking at the ghost bike as that community identity marker and what it means to them,” Costantini said. For many people, ghost bikes are an unfamiliar concept. Throughout her research, Costantini saw the knowledge, network and community of ghost bikes expand and grow as people have become more aware. “It started as something small and has now become this big passion project for me,” she said. The doctoral student began writing “The White Bicycle” last fall, and rehearsals for the show have been underway for a month and a half. In the play, there are five to six scenes that serve as differ-
ent encounters within a larger narrative. The show encourages awareness of other’s actions through various vignettes. “I hope that my research will come in handy with helping people understand the larger issue of cycling rights,” Costantini said. She asked two of her under-

EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille
Dean Jerry Ceppos addresses the crowd before the showing of director Steve Mims “Starving the Beast: The Battle to Disrupt and Reform America’s Public Universities” on Monday in the Manship school’s Holliday Forum.
DOCUMENTARY, from page 1 A&M, along with LSU. After a Texas Board of Regents scandal made its way to his UT-Austin campus, Mims got to work on the three-and-ahalf-year filmmaking process that would become “Starving the
Beast.” When one of the Regents members was almost impeached, Mims said he delved into the story, which led him to an education reform movement sweeping the nation. Working backwards, he said he discovered privatization of public education started making
waves in Texas in 2008. “A lot of the reform ideas they had were antithetical to the ideas of a university,” Mims said. Alexander said national public universities average $29,000 per student, whereas private universities nearly double with a $60,000 investment per student.
“WHAT AMERICANS THINK ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR—AND WHAT THEY SHOULD THINK” A Lecture by

The Grand Salon, LSU’s Historic French House Tuesday, April 19 | 7:00 PM
He said new policies offer an “escape clause” to public state legislators vying for reelection. Manship Chair in Journalism Bob Mann, who was featured in the documentary, said the narrative focuses on two primary issues — the ripple effect caused by the defunding of higher education and the diminishing the purpose of universities. By cutting university budgets, he said state governments can cause instructional quality to decline, which in turn leads to more cuts. “You’re creating an environment that is guaranteed to fail, and then you’re punishing them for the failure that you helped create,” Mann said. Additionally, Mann said the guiding principles of historic institutions of higher learning — to foster a community of educated citizens and promote a higher level of thinking — have been morphed into a free marketplace model. In a question-and-answer session following the screening, Carville told a packed room he viewed the commodification of public higher education as
borderline “criminal.” “We are taking money from young people and giving it to campaign donors,” Carville said. “What we’re seeing is, at a minimum, a massive act of immorality.” In a new reality where STEM programs claim the most dollars, Mann said the arts and humanities ought not only to be tolerated, but celebrated. If the humanities program leaves a place like LSU, he said it is no longer a flagship university. Mims said he hopes “Starving the Beast” provides viewers with a greater awareness and deeper understanding of the issues public higher education faces today. Comparing the dilemma to a 12-step program, Mims said the first step the public must make is admitting there is a problem. Framing the narrative, Carville said the public needs to reclaim state-funded universities or else bear the consequences. “You could have the Koch brothers draw up your curriculum for you,” Carville said in the documentary. “They’d be happy to do it, no problem.”
MIDDLETON, from page 1
million to tackle all maintenance issues at campuses around the state. The main campus has roughly 28 buildings in need of repairs, totaling nearly $300 million. The governor’s executive budget included $50 million allocated for capital outlay, and higher education typically receives half that amount. “I know this seems like a drop in the bucket of a $2 billion problem, but we’re looking at a lot of drops,” Gatti said.
Regents Deputy Commissioner for Finance and Administration Terrence Ginn insisted the board already takes deferred maintenance “very seriously.” Some buildings are so “dilapidated,” it’s cheaper to tear them down and build new ones than it is to repair them, he said. LSU Executive Director of Policy and External Affairs Jason Droddy told the committee the LSU System would need $750
