STATE OF DIVISION Professors talk race, law enforcement on first day of University symposium

JOURDAN RILEY / The Daily Reveille

BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter Professors from the University’s Manship School of Mass Communication detailed the stark difference in opinions toward law enforcement officers from white and black people to a packed Holliday Forum of the school’s Journalism Building on Monday.

The panel was part of LSU’s “Moment or Movement: A National Dialogue on Identity, Empowerment and Justice for All” presidential symposium — a two-day event about race relations and the importance of democracy.

The first day of the symposium also included a speech on the history of

Constitutional law seminar to be implemented in spring

BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker Beginning in the spring, the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center and the Department of Political Science will offer a new Constitutional law seminar focusing on the effects of judicial personality on Constitutional jurisprudence.

Law Center professor Paul Baier and political science professor James Stoner will co-teach the course at the Law Center. Baier and Stoner decided to collaborate when the Law

Center became reintegrated into the University’s main campus in 2015, and both worked closely together in hosting Constitution Day speakers on campus.

Although political scientists have performed studies examining how a judge’s personal attributes relate to the decisions they render, the topic hasn’t been pursued narratively, Stoner said.

“Our idea is that we would look at the whole person … and

University to host student research conference

BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ The University’s Office of Strategic Initiatives will host its eighth annual Undergraduate Research Conference on Oct. 14, providing a forum for undergraduates to present their research, interact with faculty and collaborate with peers.

The event is a single-day research conference which, in its eight years running, has seen more than 650 students present their research. Students come from all over the South — from schools including Southern University Baton Rouge, Southern University at New Orleans, Xavier University, the University of Louisi-

ana at Lafayette, Southeastern Louisiana University, Louisiana Tech University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, Mississippi State University, Jackson State University, the University of South Carolina, the University of Tennessee, Rice University and the University of New Orleans.

The conference’s title, “Excite, Explore, Experiment,” represents the events on the conference agenda.

“Excite” deals with Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona Chris Impey’s keynote address, “Water Worlds — The Search for Habitable Exoplanets,” as well as a discussion called “Space:

The Next Frontier.”

“Explore” refers to students being able to participate in an event addressing topics related to their appropriate fields and network with faculty.

“Experiment” denotes the student’s research presentations in poster and oral competitions.

The conference targets students conducting research in the fields of life science, math and physical science, technology and engineering and humanities and social sciences.

Students conducting research in these areas are able to submit their research abstracts to OSI until Oct. 5.

Competition is divided into three categories, with each category further separated by

research concentration.

The first and second place winners in each discipline category and each type of competition will receive cash prizes.

The Department of Psychology Diversity Scholar Award will also be presented during the conference. The scholarship aims to acknowledge and support student research presentations in Psychology and Neuroscience.

Applications for the scholarship are due Oct. 5 and winners will receive a minimum of $250.

The conference is open to the public. There is a $20 registration fee for those attending and those entering the competition.

Louisiana race relations by Law Professor Chris Tyson and panels including Louisiana business leaders and government officials.

Mass communication professors Martin Johnson and Michael Henderson kicked off the late afternoon sessions with a talk on public opinion of race relations and law enforcement in Louisiana.

Henderson, the research director of the LSU Public Policy Research Lab, presented survey results from black and white respondents on a variety of questions. According to the Louisiana Survey and City Stats prior to the 2016 summer, black respondent’s opinions of law enforcement differed greatly from white respondents.

On a scale from one to five, black respondents rated law enforcement 0.32 lower than white respondents. In 2016, white respondents gave law enforcement an average score of 3.91, while black respondents gave a 3.59.

The biggest gap since 2012 was in 2015 when white people rated police 3.83 and blacks rated 3.20. It was the same year Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri.

Nearly 50 percent of black respondents said they have “just some” or “very little” confidence in local police, and more than 50 percent said they had just some or very little confidence in police not using excessive force.

“That’s not just chance from having a random sample in a survey,” Henderson said. “That is a real difference.”

The results were similar when black respondents were asked if law enforcement officers treat black and white people equally. The results for white respondents were lower across the board, with around 25 percent falling into the “just some” or “very little” categories for the polls.

Nathan Kalmoe, a mass communication and political science professor, compared Louisiana’s numbers to national figures gathered by the Pew

try to understand the ways in which his view of the world is intertwined with his view of the law,” he said.

Stoner isn’t as interested in categorizing personalities as he is in trying to understand the human mind.

“We will link their personalities and their philosophies to their decisions because their decisions are just dished up — you don’t know why the judge reached that calculus of balance,” Baier said. “Jim Stoner and I are going to make this real through a study of the men and women who make the law, as well as the law itself.”

Students taking the course will study six Supreme Court justices. Stoner will cover Justices John Marshall Harlan, Robert Jackson and Antonin Scalia, while Baier is teaching on Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hugo Black and Anthony Kennedy.

The class’ students will come primarily from the Law Center, Stoner said. The course work will involve dialogue and discussion, as well as reading the judges’ judicial opinions, biographies and other writings.

“We want it to be a lively table. We have something here that will be special because the [implementation] of the instruction and substance of instruction will be that which law students and political science students haven’t had,” Baier said.

Stoner is the director of the Eric Voegelin Institute for American Renaissance Studies, a research body that is part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and serves to honor the memory of Professor Voegelin, a University Boyd professor and political philosopher.

Baier has taught at the Law Center for more than 40 years. He is the author of several memoirs and is a nationally published playwright.

Both professors are graduates of Harvard Law School.

Research Center.

In terms of opinions of police, Louisiana’s results were similar to national statistics.

Nationally, only 14 percent of black people had a lot of confidence in police, compared to 42 percent of white respondents, Kalmoe said.

Kalmoe said there are also big partisan divides on the issue nationally. According to Kalmoe, 57 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters say it is harder to be black than white in America, compared to 11 percent of Donald Trump supporters.

“I’m glad we’re focused on individual views about institutions in particular because solutions to many of these problems require more than changing personal attitudes,” Kalmoe said. “The lack of institutional change may be caused by the large block of people who have relatively neutral attitudes ... rather than those who actively seek to maintain the old ways.”

Belinda Davis, the associate director of the Public Policy Research Lab, said that while East Baton Rouge Parish is about 50/50 white and black, there are big differences in

income distribution.

Davis said about 11 percent of white individuals live in poverty, compared to about 30 percent for African Americans.

The median income for an African-American family is around $41,000 in East Baton Rouge Parish, while white families sit at $89,000.

“The results that we saw about satisfaction from the public across the races in terms of services provided by the police department did not surprise me,” Davis said. “Many of them are living in low-status communities, and that influences how they react with our police department.”

Aside from race relations, a portion of the symposium is dedicated to “exploring the intersection of politics, identity and the democratic process,” according to a news release about the event. Henderson touched on that crossroads and pressed the importance of public opinion in policy making, regardless of the political system.

“At the end of the day, the will of the people is a force, a potential force to be understood,” Henderson said.

Guice, Pocic earn SEC weekly honors

This is a rivalry game for us and we understand that.

BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_

ED ORGERON LSU Interim Head Coach

ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille

READY for BATTLE Ed Orgeron previews Florida, analyzes LSU-Missouri

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ LSU interim head coach Ed Orgeron enjoys energy drinks.

How many does he drink in one day?

“Enough!” he said.

Orgeron said he’s an early morning guy, which is enough to get LSU ready for its first morning kickoff of the season against No. 18 Florida at 11 a.m. at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida.

Orgeron looked back on Monday, reviewing LSU’s play in its 42-7 win

against Missouri.

“What a tremendous night for the Tiger family,” he said.

LSU’s offense, which posted a school record against a Southeastern Conference opponent with 634 total yards, executed the way he expected.

“The goal was to be very efficient ... and put the ball in our playmakers’ hands in space,” he said.

LSU’s next opponent: Florida.

“This is a rivalry game for us, and we

understand that,” Orgeron said.

Florida is LSU’s final SEC East matchup this season. LSU will sweep the division with a win for the third-straight year.

The Tigers have won the six straight games against the SEC East, dating back to its last loss against Georgia in 2013.

Orgeron suggested he expects Florida redshirt sophomore quarterback Luke Del Rio to start after returning from injury.

Florida coach Jim McElwain said

see FLORIDA, page 8

LSU sophomore running back Derrius Guice added some new hardware for performance in the Tigers’ 42-7 win against Missouri.

The Southeastern Conference announced that Guice was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. Guice carried the ball 17 times, rushing for a career-high 163 yards and three touchdowns against Missouri.

Guice wears the No. 5 in honor of former Heisman trophy winner Reggie Bush, who Guice said he looked up to as a child.

But interim head coach Ed Orgeron said the two tailbacks have more similarities than just their jersey numbers.

“He has some Reggie Bush-like cuts,” said Orgeron, who coached at USC when Bush was there.

“He’s bigger and stronger than Reggie was in college — maybe not quite as fast — but he has cuts like Reggie had.”

Orgeron didn’t stop his praise of Guice. The 55-year-old coach compared the Baton Rouge native to 6-foot-2, 303-pound Warren Sapp, who played defensive tackle in the National Football League for 13 seasons.

“He’s huge! I’m not that big,” Guice said while laughing. “I would’ve been better with a guy like Ray Lewis or something like that.”

Guice wasn’t the only LSU player to claim accolades.

Senior center Ethan Pocic was awarded the honor of SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Pocic helped open holes for Guice and other LSU running backs as they accumulated 418 rushing yards versus Missouri.

“I’m just trudging along”: Etling stands tall despite bruising hits

BY JACOB HAMILTON @ jac0b_hamilt0n Every step between classes on the Monday after gamedays is a process for junior quarterback Danny Etling.

Whether it’s the result of standing tall in the pocket for an extra millisecond knowing a pass rusher is baring down on him, or putting his body on the line while scrambling for a first down, Etling takes more hits than his teammates.

LSU’s coaching staff and fan base would like to see

their quarterback protect himself, though.

His third start in purple and gold yielded an LSU-careerhigh 216 passing yards on a 63.3 percent completion rate with another 18 on the ground.

After a hit busted his lip, left a laceration above his right eye and sent him through the concussion protocol in a Sept. 24 loss against Auburn, Etling’s Tigers blew out Missouri, 42-7, but it still came with a number of punishing blows.

“The ones where you’re standing in there in the pocket,

that’s something you’ve got to do for your team,” Etling said.

“When you’re running and trying to get the first down on a third down basis, you want to get it for the team. But there’s a few less shots I can take here and there.”

Etling said he starts the recovery process with the training staff on Sunday, when he soaks in an ice tub and gets a full body scan to ensure he doesn’t have any severe injuries. By the week’s end, the

Right on Track Student athlete balances school, athletics and personal training CAROLINE MAGEE / The Daily Reveille

BY CYNTHEA CORFAH While most college students use loans to pay for tuition and fees, senior student-athlete Blair Henderson used a $5,000 loan to invest in his mother’s business.

Henderson, a 22-year-old mid-distance runner and personal trainer, does more than run track. Henderson contributes to his mother’s Cajun-Creole restaurant, Mardi Gras Memphis, which is located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Outside of early morning and afternoon track practices, tutoring sessions, résumé building and meetings, Henderson created his mother’s restaurant website and applications and continues to respond to restaurant emails, handle marketing and promotions and determine who is hired.

“We [Henderson and his brothers] always were kind of like [entrepreneurial] — even when we were younger. If we needed money, we’re getting it,” Henderson said. “We’d go to the dollar store, buy candy and then sell it. We had to make money all the time. It was never

@LacedInCyn like, ‘You’re just going to get it.’ So that’s kind of one of the reasons I got pushed to getting the scholarship for track.”

Henderson started running track his sophomore year in high school at St. Louis Catholic High School in Lake Charles, Louisiana. By his senior year, he was ranked the eighth fastest 800-meter runner in the nation at a high school level.

At the University, Henderson runs indoor track, outdoor track and cross country. He competes in the 800-meter dash and the mile run.

In addition to track and helping run his mother’s business, Henderson has a passion for personal training. He designed a running program to teach people who aren’t physically active how to run properly, monitor their heart rate and get the most out of their run.

University student rapper looks to make waves in local music scene

BY SALIMATA FALL @salimatalalafall Juggling a communication science and disorders major, a part time job and diving headfirst into his rap career, junior Matt Edoho, who also goes by his stage name “Matt Good,” has many stories to tell.

“I try to be as honest and creative as possible, letting my work speak for myself,” Good said.

Classifying himself as a “lyricist,” Good’s passion for music has always been present. However, he did not start focusing on his artistry until one year ago.

Good released his first song, “Fine,” in late February. He said the “turn up” track was created in 20 minutes, being “very spur of the moment.”

This past year, Good has performed at several different venues, including Spanish Moon, located just minutes away from campus.

A friend of his, Baton Rouge native DJ Rae, allowed Good to go on stage with her to get his name out and build a following.

“The best way I can get my name out there is getting more content, be seen and being on the scene as well,” Good said.

He describes the Baton Rouge hip hop scene as varying. Supporting his fellow artists, he said it is “interesting” to see everyone follow their own vibes.

Transitioning from simply writing songs to actually performing his music is quite different, he said. When he writes, he lives in his own world, and his personal emotions spew onto the paper.

When on stage, however, Good’s feelings strike a different chord.

“It’s compulsive. It’s very hectic... Very hectic but very different,” Good said. “When I’m writing, it’s just the sound and [me].

But on stage, it’s a crowd.”

Comparing performing to going to a casino because “you don’t know what happens,” Good described the overall experience as “explosive.”

Already energized by his love for singing and dancing, Good said the beat and bass get him going. A visual artist, he feeds off his audience.

Operating under a varying creative process, sometimes lyrical composition comes first, while other times, the beat does. Though

New iPhone emojis overwhelming, but still enjoyable RYLED UP RYAN THAXTON @ryanthax “WTF is going on?” I send in the group message, as confetti, lasers and bright flashes accompany each text from my friends. I feel like my mom when she downloaded Snapchat and kept accidently sending pictures from that awkward double chin angle.

Have I grown up that fast? My teenage years ended two months ago on my 20th birthday, and I am already behind on the latest tech updates.

I long for the days when I knew every acronym to come across my AIM chat, the sheer number of them giving my conversations the look of a coded language.

It seemed as though weird combinations of symbols could accurately express intricate emotions of love, happiness, anger, laughter and shock that were too complex to put into words.

Ever since the addition of the emoji keyboard on iPhones — Android “emojis” are disgraceful knock-offs that I refuse to acknowledge — emojis have become integral to our daily lives.

They’ve taken the western world by storm, transforming Wal-Mart’s old, smiling mascot into a much more beloved icon you can’t go a day without seeing.

Emojis have also inspired a range of spinoffs: Kimojis, Bitmojis and even Chymojis — the side-eye emoji would be appropriate here. iOS 10 has jumped on the textaholic’s love for iMessage accompaniment with a range of apps specifically for iMessage that allow you to add GIFs, stickers and secret messages, as well as play games, Venmo money and create a Tinder stack from your pictures. There is even an in-text app that lets you be an obnoxious grammar snob and overlay corrections on received messages.

With so much aggregated content available in iOS 10, tech-savvy students don’t even need to send actual texts anymore.

But are these once cool options now becoming passé?

There’s a constant debate over whether this new form of communication, filled with CGI heartbreaks and Beyoncé hair flipping GIFs, is an evolution or degradation of language.

The pollution of handwritten messages, stickers and various

cartoon by BETSY PRIMES

apps and emojis is sometimes too much. Seven heart-eye cat heads are not always necessary.

There are some benefits to the new additions, though.

You can now politely respond to those pestering randoms you don’t actually want to text with Tapbacks, which allow you to send a range of preset thought

bubbles through text, similar to a thumbs up on Facebook.

There is still beauty in the old emojis, too. A sassy hairflip girl ensures your text to your frenemy comes across as more passive aggressive than actually mean.

Sure, the nuanced symbolism of iMessage modifications

adds a lot of vapidity to our conversations, but that’s half the fun of iMessage. If you are not spamming your friends with animated kisses and vegetable emojis, you are missing out.

Landry discriminates against LGBTQ community, abuses power ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley Gov. John Bel Edwards is suing Attorney General Jeff Landry because he refuses to approve state contracts that comply with Edwards’ executive order protecting the LGBTQ community from workplace discrimination.

Before going any further, I want to take this opportunity to reiterate how important elections are. Imagine for a moment if Sen. David Vitter, R-La., had won the 2015 gubernatorial election. He wouldn’t have stopped Landry from discriminating. To be quite

honest, he probably would have supported Landry.

But the people of Louisiana thankfully voted for someone who supports inclusion and acceptance.

Landry is using money as an excuse to oppose inclusion. According to The Times-Picayune, Landry opposed the LGBTQ language in state contracts because, somehow, it could create additional liabilities for the state, costing taxpayers money.

However, he fails to mention that he has no legal authority to deny these state contracts on the grounds he’s using. According to the Times-Picayune, the Louisiana Bar Association president wrote in an email “the attorney general is only supposed to review state contracts with

private attorneys to make sure the lawyers are qualified to do the work. The law doesn’t give his office oversight over language such as the LGBTQ nondiscrimination clause.”

Not only is he discriminating against the LGBTQ community, but he’s going out of his way to do so.

He also claims to oppose the non-discrimination clauses because he’s reflecting the will of the legislature.

“It’s unfortunate that the governor continues to want to push for a protected class that the legislature has six times — with bipartisan support — rejected,” Landry said in a press conference.

I get it. To someone who never had to hide part of his

identity at work, this executive order seems redundant.

To someone who never had to justify his sexual orientation, this executive order seems pointless.

But when you grow up in a community where you’re not sure if you can truly be yourself, this executive order is a big deal. If you grow up in a community where 53 percent of residents don’t believe you should be allowed to get married, and 52 percent of residents believe businesses should be able to discriminate against you and your partner, having one glimmer of hope to be protected at work matters.

He’ll probably never understand the damage he’s causing to the LGBTQ community.

I’ve heard people say that the civil rights movement for our community is moving quickly. Compared to other groups of marginalized people, I can understand that. But moments like this should make us all remember that the LGBTQ community still has work to do.

I’m just glad we have a governor to drag Louisiana, kicking and screaming, to the correct side of history.

MOVIES & TV

Q&A with record-breaking Big Brother houseguest Victor Arroyo III Slidell, Louisiana resident, Victor Arroyo III, is getting back into the swing of things after a whirlwind summer on season 18 of the CBS series “Big Brother.”

Arroyo made history as the first houseguest with three chances to win the $500,000 grand prize.

His game ended a week shy of the finale, with a 5th place win finish, but he walked away as America’s Favorite Houseguest and its $25,000 prize.

The Daily Reveille sat down with Arroyo to discuss his experience as a “Big Brother” houseguest and his thoughts on the ground breaking season.

THE DAILY REVEILLE: How are you feeling now that the season is over?

VICTOR ARROYO III : It’s bittersweet. Being in the “Big Brother” house was an experience of the lifetime. But it’s nice to be back.

The support I’ve received has been amazing.

TDR: How does it feel to have gone in a regular guy and come out with fame?

VA: One-hundred percent f- -ing crazy. When I left Slidell, I had 400 followers on Instagram.

On finale night, I had 35,000. Now I have about 114,000 and DMs for days. Everybody knows me. People know me better than I know myself. But I like it because I like interacting with everybody.

TDR: Why did you want to be on “Big Brother?”

VA: I was at a point in my life where I wasn’t 100 percent satisfied with what I was doing. I thought I should give it a shot and see where it takes me.

TDR: Can you explain what the audition process was like?

VA: I went to open auditions. It’s an extensive process. I also applied to season 16. I went through

the process and didn’t get picked.

Then when I saw they had auditions again, I decided to go for it. I had nothing to lose. I was in it for the experience.

TDR: How does it feel to have had three chances at the game?

VA: I feel like a cat. I can never die. It’s bizarre. I thought I was gone day 23. I wasn’t expecting to go back in the first time, much less the second. Got evicted again, and I thought to myself, “Well at least I made it to jury.” And then I’m right back in the house about an hour later.

TDR: What was your mentality going into the Battle Back competitions?

VA: I didn’t stress myself too much with making sure I won.

More so, just giving it my best shot. I knew that alternatively, I would get to see my family. So the worst case scenario wasn’t that bad. I went into the comps knowing that it’s a little bit of luck and a little bit of skill.

TDR: How does it feel to have won America’s Favorite Houseguest?

VA: I wasn’t expecting it at all. I thought I had a chance but I didn’t think I was going to win.

There were over 4 million votes. It was awesome that everybody saw through all the BS of this season and picked the straight shooter and loyal player.

TDR: Can you talk about your relationship with Paul?

VA: We talk everyday. We’re going to move in together out in L.A. He’s my boy — my best friend.

We’re the same inside the house as we are outside the house.

TDR: How were you feeling when Nicole and Corey betrayed you and Paul?

VA: A part of me was sad because I thought they would hold up their end of the deal because of the friendship we had made. The other side of me understood why they would do it and it made sense. I

wasn’t mad about it; it was a game move. Mucho friendship.

TDR: Why do you think you didn’t make it to the end?

VA: Because I’m El Fit Vic. The players knew that if they brought me to the end that there was a good chance that I could win the game, not only because of the comps, but also my relationship with the jury.

TDR: Is Paulie really as much of a jerk as America thinks? What was it like living with him?

VA: He’s really a nice guy. I’m cool with Paulie, especially after seeing him outside of the house. I can’t say anything bad about him.

We clashed heads in the game, but it wasn’t anything malicious. What happened with other people was outside of my control.

TDR: What did you think of his argument with Natalie and his “fake as those things on your chest” remark?

VA: There’s always three sides — his, hers and the truth, which I haven’t been able to see. I don’t wanna say who’s in the wrong because I didn’t see all of it. But, it had nothing to do with her breasts.

TDR: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be on “Big Brother?”

VA: Be yourself. Don’t be something you’re not. They want to see who you are. I didn’t win, but being true to myself was the best thing because I didn’t have to worry when I got out. Things happen in the house but they only happen because we’re all fighting for $500,000. Leave what happens in the house in the house.

TDR: What’s next for you?

VA: Paul and I want to start a lifestyle channel on YouTube. It’d be awesome to go on “The Amazing Race” together. I’d also like to pursue acting.

TDR: Lastly, what does Louisiana mean to you?

VA: In a perfect world, I would live here and travel out to different

students will run in the Alzheimer’s 5k.

Henderson discovered he had an unknown heart condition after fainting during a track meet in high school. After many tests and traveling, doctors couldn’t diagnose his heart problem. Because he wanted to continue running track, his doctors implanted a loop recorder in his chest to monitor his heart rate at all times. It was removed in January 2015.

Since then, Henderson has trained patients with a variety of conditions, such as exercise-induced asthma.

“I want to work with patients with cardiac rehabilitation, so if a patient has a heart attack or stroke, I can prescribe exercise that will help them get back to normal and improve from there,” Henderson said.

Henderson’s passion for helping average and challenged clients is the drive behind his tight schedule and developed résumé.

After graduation, he hopes to immediately work directly with clients and complete his book on his life and personal development.

the song writing process can take weeks, it can also take hours.

Edoho is inspired by songwriters such as Sia and Kendrick Lamar. Good said Lamar’s album “Section 80” motivated him to write. Good describes his music as “alternative with a little bit of mood and hip hop.”

His song “Nobody 4 Me” focuses on letting go of the past and being comfortable with oneself.

While he plays his music, he raps along the lyrics and even when the music stops playing unexpectedly, he continues rapping.

Good said listening to his music is like “finessing inside the club, while [thinking] about the person who broke your heart...but you don’t care, it’s lit.” A song he played, called “Unreal,” features a catchy hook. An NWA-inspired song, Good raps about what is going on in the world, mentioning the horrors of police brutality.

With topics like “Black Lives Matter,” Good speaks on the oblivion present in society.

“We kinda don’t want to believe [the problems regarding race], but indeed, it’s real,” he said.

His plans for the future are to “create, create, create,” until he can’t anymore.

“I’m just having fun doing the thing I love and being able to showcase that,” Good said.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016 ETLING, from page 3 recovery regime has him back to 100 percent. But it doesn’t make the first day’s trip to class much easier, he said.

“Probably the main message everyone on campus had for me today was slide,” Etling said of his classmates advising him against taking those unnecessary shots. “It’s kind of fun and a cool thing to experience.”

Some would characterize the shots he takes as reckless while others would attribute

them to the qualities of a good leader. Etling said it’s just how he likes to play.

And for those advising him to slide, it’s falling on deaf ears.

“It’s just something I want to do for my team,” Etling said.

“Make sure I give them all I got. Whether it’s sacrificing my body or not, it’s something I want to do and will continue to do.”

DODD CLEAR FOR SATURDAY’S GAME The Southeastern Conference confirmed that junior

center Andy Dodd is clear to play in LSU’s matchup against No. 18 Florida on Saturday.

Dodd and Missouri defensive lineman Charles Harris were ejected in the fourth quarter on Saturday after a tussle that drew offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

“I can see why the dude was mad, [Dodd] made a nice play on him,” senior center Ethan Pocic said. “[Dodd] didn’t really do much. He was playing hard during the whistle and the guy shoved him down.”

Junior quarterback Danny Etling (16) glances back after handing the ball off to junior running back Darrel Williams (28) on Saturday during the Tigers’ 42-7 victory against Missouri in Tiger Stadium.

senior Purdue transfer Austin Appleby — who’s thrown 23 for 39 in two games for 296 yards — will start if Del Rio remains injured.

“I’m very familiar with Luke Del Rio,” Orgeron said.

Orgeron, too, complimented Florida’s defense, which leads the SEC in sacks per game at 3.80, scoring defense at 11.8 points per game and rush defense at 90.6 yards per game. “[Florida] defensive coordinator Geoff Collins is one of the best in the country,” Orgeron said.

To counter the rowdy morning environment at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Orgeron said LSU will begin to “simulate crowd noise” at Tuesday’s practice.

FOURNETTE UPDATE Orgeron remains unsure of junior running back Leonard Fournette’s availability.

Fournette missed Saturday’s 42-7 win versus Missouri — where LSU scored six rushing touchdowns — because of a lingering ankle injury. Fournette was not seen at LSU’s Monday practice, which was open to the media.

“I don’t know if he’s going to play,” the coach said. “I think he’s going to be day-by-day, that’s the honest thing.”

OTHER INJURIES Orgeron said Toby Weathersby, who has an ankle injury, and Will Clapp, who has a shoulder injury, will be “out for some time.”

“Toby’s going to be out for a little bit,” he said. “Will’s going to be out for a little bit.”

Weathersby has missed LSU’s last two games against Auburn and Missouri after an ankle was rolled by a falling fellow teammate against Mississippi State.

Clapp, who was wearing a brace on the injured shoulder in LSU’s game versus Missouri, went down in the second quarter on Saturday, clutching the same shoulder. He returned to the game once before being sidelined again.
