FIRST TIME’S THE CHARM

Game day

Slower crime rate despite battery text

ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille

Home opener against Sam Houston State a night of multiple firsts BY tyler nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com Saturday proved to be a night of firsts for the LSU football team.

The No. 10 Tigers (2-0) pitched their first shutout since 2010 against Sam Houston State (1-2) in the first-ever meeting between the two programs in the first

game to be played in the newly expanded Tiger Stadium, which had ticket sales that surpassed 100,000 seats for the first time in LSU history.

“How wonderful that the first time that we take the field in front of [more than 100,000], it’s victorious and significant,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “A lot of very

talented, young players played.

What a great statement.”

LSU sophomore cornerback Dwayne Thomas got things started when he recorded his first career interception in the game’s first drive.

Sophomores quarterback Anthony Jennings and wide receiver Travin Dural made their first

starts in Tiger Stadium and made history on the Tigers’ first play from scrimmage when the duo connected for a 94-yard touchdown pass — the longest in LSU history — and the first score of the game.

“I’m happy I got to do it in

The first home game against Sam Houston State on Saturday brought eager tailgaters but slower crime rates, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

Although he did not have Saturday’s specific numbers of arrests, Lalonde said gameday crime was fairly uneventful.

On Saturday, students received an LSU eTXT warning them of a battery committed by an adult male in the Student Union against a juvenile female.

The juvenile said she and an adult male bumped into each other and he grabbed her arm.

Lalonde said the eTXT was sent to caution students, but upon further investigation, LSUPD officers said the juvenile admitted to embellishing the story.

Lalonde said the adult male was never located because there was about a 40-minute delay to the female reporting the incident, and no criminal charges were made.

“The initial reports of the situation seemed a little more serious than it actually was,” Lalonde said.

SG working to open 24-hour study spot Security issues causing complications BY deanna narveson dnarveson@lsureveille.com Whether it is within the Student Union, Middleton Library or in Patrick F. Taylor Hall, students may soon see a 24-hour study area on campus, according to Student Government President Clay Tufts.

However, having space open to students all hours of the day is more complicated because of security issues, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

When Middleton Library first

opened for 24 hours during finals week last fall, Lalonde said LSUPD kept the building secure using various methods, and if a 24hour study space opened permanently, they would have to develop a plan for monitoring it.

Lalonde said during finals week, LSUPD officers on night shifts make frequent patrols around the exterior and interior of the library. More officers are also on duty around Middleton during that time.

LSU President F. King Alexander said when Middleton was first open through the night, the number of students going into the library during extended hours showed the University needs to

have the space open 24 hours a day prior to finals.

“If they really want to be in there at 3 or 4 a.m. and study, then we need to make the environment ready for them,” Alexander said.

Last semester, then-Interim Dean of LSU Libraries Elaine Smyth said there were plans underway for major renovations to Middleton.

The plans include expanding study areas and making commonly used books more accessible to students. They also include updating the look of the Library to better match surrounding buildings and creating a 24-hour place for

States ask Supreme Court to settle gay rights THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — The federal appeals court in San Francisco has already issued two significant gay rights rulings: In 2012, it struck down California’s samesex wedding ban, and, this year, it extended protections against discrimination to gay and lesbians.

Now, three judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — all appointed by Democrats and two of whom joined in the civil rights ruling this year — are set to hear arguments Monday on gay marriage bans in Idaho, Nevada and Hawaii.

The hearings come as gay marriage supporters have piled up legal victories in federal courts across the country this year, nullifying bans in more than a dozen states.

On Thursday, the federal appeals court in Chicago rejected bans in Wisconsin and Indiana.

Same-sex marriage opponents, however, scored a legal victory last week when a federal judge in Louisiana upheld that state’s ban.

“Until all 50 states get on board, it’s a legal battle from state to state,” said Tara New-

berry, one of the plaintiffs in the Nevada case, who wants to marry her longtime partner.

“The map is changing. But until the Supreme Court of the United States makes the determination, it’s state-by-state.”

The same day as the Chicago court ruled, 15 states that allow gay marriage and 17 that don’t asked the U.S. Supreme Court to settle the issue once and for all.

The Mormon church and four religious organizations also asked the Supreme Court to intervene. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in a statement Friday, said it joined a friend-of-the-court brief asking the high court to hear Utah’s marriage case. It was joined by The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals, the Ethics & Religious Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Lutheran ChurchMissouri Synod. Each teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman.

The pro-gay marriage rulings have used the rationale the nation’s high court used in June 2013 when it invalidated the core of the Defense of Marriage Act

Same-sex marriage supporters gather on the steps of the Idaho Statehouse in Boise on May 13, after U.S. Magistrate Judge Candy Dale ruled that Idaho’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. that defined marriage as only between a man and a woman for determining federal benefits.

That ruling didn’t directly address whether states can impose bans and led to an explosion of litigation. But an increasing number of federal and state judges are adopting the court’s reasoning in the 2013 case to

invalidate bans, ratcheting up pressure on the Supreme Court to address the issue directly, legal analysts say.

A total of 19 states and Washington, D.C., now allow gay marriages. Lambda Legal says lawsuits are pending in most other states and Puerto Rico to invalidate same-sex marriage bans.

Students seek expansion of gender-neutral bathrooms

BY jazmine foxworth jfoxworth@lsureveille.com More than 150 college campuses in the U.S. have genderneutral bathrooms available for students, according to The Transgender Law and Policy Institute. LSU is one of these campuses, but some students feel the facilities offered aren’t adequate.

Gender-neutral bathrooms can be found in several different buildings on campus, including the Student Union, Coates Hall and the Women’s Center, but some students are unaware.

Spectrum President Julianne Martin said it’s great that the University offers gender-neutral bathrooms but feels they aren’t well advertised.

Several universities that offer gender-neutral bathrooms, including New York University, Tufts University and UCLA, also list bathroom locations online. One of the major problems for some students is that they are spread out, requiring students to search for them, said Michael, a University junior whose last name and major The Daily Reveille agreed to withhold.

For Michael, the lack of facilities as well as their locations affected him personally during his transition.

“When I was first transitioning, I knew early in the morning and in the afternoon when I was done with classes, I could go to the bathroom in the Union because that was the only one that I knew about,” Michael said. “It was really difficult for me to hold it in and not go to the bathroom and know that I couldn’t go to the bathroom like everyone else.”

Michael said that he feels everyone should have a bathroom they can use comfortably without feeling judged or attacked, which is often an issue.

Gender-neutral bathrooms offer transgender and genderqueer people a space where they don’t feel awkward or out of place, Michael said.

“Everyone needs to use the bathroom — it’s a basic need,” Martin said. “Everyone

should have the opportunity to do something they have to do.”

Biology freshman Jessica Dunn said she agrees that the University needs more genderneutral bathrooms but wouldn’t personally use them.

“I think they could use more, but they shouldn’t take the separate ones out,” said Dunn.

Kinesiology freshman Kristi Joseph said she would also prefer to use a gender-specific bathroom.

“I’d go find a women’s bathroom because that’s where I feel comfortable,” said Joseph.

Steve Waller, executive director of Residential Life, said implementing gender-neutral bathrooms in dorms has been difficult because most have hall bath configurations. Waller said accommodations can be made for transgender students who have issues with using hall bathrooms.

“If we know a student is in transition, we work with them one on one,” Waller said. “We do have rooms that have private baths, and we try to accommodate that request, but they have to let us know.”

Waller said Residential Life is developing a pilot program for gender-neutral housing in response to a resolution passed by the Student Government Senate last semester.

The resolution, SGR No. 53, was proposed by Senators Bryce Bourgeois and Chase Hilton and passed with a majority vote. The resolution states gender-neutral housing can be the first step in decreasing the notion that men and women have morally relevant distinctions between them that merit separate treatment.

The resolutions proposes gender-neutral housing be available in residential halls that have access to single-person bathrooms.

“We’re looking at a program where you would have, say, a shower, toilet and a sink where one person can go in and lock the door so they won’t have someone barging in on them,” said Waller.

Intersection of E. Boyd and Burbank still causing confusion BY malori bezet mbezet@lsureveille.com Traffic changes continue to greet students at the intersection of E. Boyd Drive and Burbank Drive.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and the East Baton Rouge Parish Department of Public Works continued monitoring the area since the changes this summer, and on Sept. 4, DOTD announced in a news release the return of left turns and through movement at that intersection.

“Drivers are still encouraged to use the signalized intersections at Jennifer Jean Drive and W. Parker Boulevard to turn left onto Burbank Drive in order to maintain traffic flow and eliminate backups at the E. Boyd intersection,” according to the release. “Left turns from Burbank Drive onto E. Boyd Drive will still be permitted from the newly installed center turn lane.”

Dustin Annison, DOTD public information officer, said other efforts to improve traffic flow included installing a traffic light at Burbank Drive and W. Parker Blvd., restriping Burbank Drive to add a turning lane, reconstructing the signal at Burbank Drive and Jennifer Jean Drive and clearing land at the Burbank Drive and E. Boyd Drive intersection to improve drivers’ sight.

Senior Director of Administrative Services and Risk Management Jeffrey Campbell said the traffic signal at W. Parker Blvd. was a University request, and it may be the reason for removing the light at E. Boyd Drive.

The changes at the intersection of E. Boyd Drive onto Burbank Drive prohibited through movements of vehicles going across Burbank Drive and left turns.

“The signals at Jennifer Jean and W. Parker have left-turn signals, which will make left turns safer,” Annison said. “Motorists making a left turn caused E. Boyd Drive to get backed up, but now that it is right turn only, it should flow more freely.”

DOTD installed signs and electronic message boards alerting drivers of the right-turn-only restriction, but it removed the alerts before students returned to campus for the fall. However, the posts and deactivated traffic lights were not taken down.

Some students were not sure this was enough to prevent confusion at the intersection.

Mass communication sophomore Madison Whitfield was a passenger in a wreck at the intersection on Aug. 23.

She said she and her friends came to a stop on E. Boyd Drive and debated whether they should turn because cars stopped on all sides, even though there were two stop signs. Once they decided to turn, a truck on Burbank Drive did

Left turns from E. Boyd Drive are now allowed once again. not stop and T-boned the driver’s side of the car.

“When the cops showed up, they said it was like the worst intersection they’d ever seen, and three other wrecks happened that day,” Whitfield said.

Chemical engineering sophomore Brett Riviere said he witnessed the aftermath of a wreck at the intersection the day of the newly installed changes while dining at Mellow Mushroom on Burbank Drive. He said a car appeared to have swerved to avoid another car and hit a light pole.

Riviere said several police cars had been in the parking lot before the incident and Mellow

Mushroom employees said they were there because officers had responded to wrecks all day.

“I think most of the accidents that occur now are because people are acting like it is still a light when it is not,” Riviere said. “I know they made the light change to try to help traffic flow, but I don’t know if it made anything better or worse with all the crashes going on.”

Campbell said there is still a safety concern, but once students get accustomed to the changes, the intersection may improve.

DOTD permanently removed the traffic signals and posts from the intersection on Friday.

Minority Women’s Movement makes debut as organization BY brittany clark bclark@lsureveille.com

WALTER RADAM / The Daily Reveille

The Tigers move into position Saturday during LSU’s 56-0 victory against Sam Houston State in Tiger Stadium.

Firsts, from page 1 front of the fans, as opposed to doing it in someone else’s stadium,” Dural said. “I’m happy that it was the first play of the game.

We started out in this new stadium with a bang.”

Dural would finish the game with three catches for 140 yards and three touchdowns, marking his first career back-to-back 100yard receiving performances and making him the second Tiger to earn touchdowns in his first three receptions.

Subsequently, Dural awaits his first career reception not to result in either a first down or a touchdown, as his first 13 have.

“It just so happens that every time I touch the ball, it goes for either a first down or a touchdown,” Dural said. “I work really hard, and I’m trying to make the most of my opportunities.”

Later in the first quarter, freshman running back Leonard Fournette earned his first big gain when he ran it 40 yards to the Bearkat 4-yard line, setting up the first touchdown of his career.

Fournette also had his first game-leading rushing performance, as he carried the ball 13 times for 92 yards.

As the Tigers comfortably held onto a 27-0 lead in the second quarter, LSU freshman quarterback Brandon Harris led his first drive in Tiger Stadium. He made the most of it and ran the ball 46 yards for his first career touchdown.

“I was happy for him,” Jennings said. “I went out on the field and dapped him up. There’s more to come from him. If he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s going to be a great quarterback.”

While Harris started his night with his first touchdown, he end-

study space, from page 1 students to study.

The goal of the plans was to better utilize the space available within the building, which was built in 1958. The last major renovations were the addition of two stories in 1984.

Architects were hired to look at how to better use the library and make plans for the possible renovations to complete the University’s reaffirmation of accreditation requirements set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, Smyth said.

Should everything go according to plan, the University is set to

ed it with his first turnover when he fumbled the ball three times in two plays.

After dropping his second consecutive snap, he picked the ball up and ran past the first-down marker before fumbling the ball again, allowing the Bearkat defense to collect its first turnover of the night.

“No matter how well in hand the game is, there is never a time to carry the ball the way Brandon Harris did at the end,” Miles said.

“But to his benefit, that is why he is out there playing and learning.”

Sixteen Tigers played their first career snaps in the contest.

Among them were freshman wide receiver Malachi Dupre, who caught his first touchdown pass at the start of the fourth quarter. The play, set up by sophomore safety Rickey Jefferson, also served as Harris’ first career touchdown pass.

Other members of the LSU football team who played their first snaps Saturday included running back Darrel Williams, who added himself to the list of freshmen to score their first career touchdowns in the third quarter.

“It was really a quality group of freshmen that were out there,” Miles said. “Those snaps really allow them to translate to the next game and the next game and the next game.”

As the seconds on the clock dwindled and this night of firsts came to a close, Miles was happy with his team’s performance, but he said it still has a lot of work to do.

To him, these firsts were simply small steps toward the Tigers’ long-term goal.

“There are some things we need to improve that were a little sloppy,” Miles said. “Our football team grew up a little bit today.” receive a full reaffirmation of its accreditation at the end of the semester, said Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Gil Reeve.

Smyth said the library plans need approval from Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell before they can begin.

If they are approved and the funding is obtained, it would take a long time to finish the renovations because Middleton would need to continue to serve students throughout the construction process.

Tufts said even if the 24-hour study space is not in the Middleton Library, he is talking with University officials to get the project going.

Minority Women’s Movement, a new student organization, was created this fall in hopes of making the University more inclusive.

The idea started in spring 2014 when University alumna Ansha’La Janae Braswell reached out to five young women who shared her vision — one similar to the Black Male Leadership Initiative.

BMLI is a leadership organization for undergraduate African-American male students designed to improve retention, graduation and participation rates.

From the original idea, the group grew to include not just African-American women but other minority groups as well.

Current member ethnicities range from African-American to Hispanic.

MWM’s constitution states the purpose of the organization is to uplift and empower female minority students at the University by providing programs and services to address educational and social needs. It also provides community outreach and personal enrichment opportunities.

“I like the fact we all come from different backgrounds and we are all coming together as one for female empower-

ment,” said founding member and general business senior Brittany Guillory.

Finance junior and co-chair of LSU BMLI Sidney Brinson said as much as BMLI wanted to start a women’s chapter of the existing organization, they could not, but he thinks it’s great to see young women being proactive.

Minority organizations on campus are a growing trend, Coordinator for Cross-Cultural Affairs Krystie Nguyen said, because of the large number of University students, which totaled 23,186 is spring 2014.

“I believe students have a passion or drive for creating inclusion rather than exclusion,” Nguyen said. “The more spaces that are created for students, the better LSU is as a whole.”

Nguyen said there is no specific number of minority groups on campus because the considerations for minority organizations are broad. She said the term could include anything from Asian-American Ambassadors to LGBT group Spectrum.

“There is a stereotype of black students at this University,” Brinson said. “When you are involved in non-black organizations, then you can override that stereotype.”

Guillory said she wants to bring minority women togeth-

“We are what Black America wants to see,” Brinson said. “Stay on your game. You never know who’s watching, but you can guarantee they are.”

Nguyen said MWM is a group for students who want to relate to the intersection of not just being a minority but adding the hardship of being a woman.

MWM will hold a social on Sept. 28 to welcome prospective members.

LSU to propose extension for Alleva

LSU will host Stephen F. Austin

BY Tyler Nunez tnunez@lsureveille.com

BY Morgan prewitt mprewitt@lsureveille.com

LSU will propose a three-year contract extension for Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva to the LSU Board of Supervisors on Friday, according to the board’s meeting agenda.

If approved, the proposed contract would not include a raise and keep Alleva under contract until June 2019.

Alleva is currently signed through June 2016 and makes a base salary of $525,000 with a supplement of $200,000 for efforts to enhance Athletic Department revenues with a possibility of $175,000 in incentives, according to a three-year extension and a $175,000 raise approved in 2011.

Alleva has served as LSU’s athletic director since 2008 after a 10-year stint as athletic director of Duke University. He is responsible for overseeing the recent expansion of Tiger Stadium, which debuted Saturday. LSU has also recently begun projects on new gymnastics and tennis facilities.

Extensions to the contracts of two coaches hired by Alleva, LSU women’s basketball coach Nikki Caldwell and LSU softball coach Beth Torina, will also be considered in Friday’s meeting.

LSU will propose a three-year extension to Caldwell’s contract with no raise, keeping her salary at $350,000 and a one-year extension to Torina’s contract in addition to a $35,000 raise that would increase her salary to $135,000.

Johnson came into the game having thrown for 703 yards and five touchdowns in the first two contests in the 2014 season. Against the Tigers, he went 8-for-25 for 142 yards and two interceptions.

“We tried to keep him under 100 yards,” said sophomore cornerback Dwayne Thomas. “It’s hard for the secondary against a passing team, but we did a great job tonight as a whole.”

On the first drive of the game the Bearkat coaching staff called a flea-flicker that failed to trick the experienced Tiger secondary, leading to an interception by Thomas.

After dropping its second game of the season against Texas Christian University on Friday, the LSU soccer team returns to Baton Rouge tonight to face Stephen F. Austin in its last home game before the Tigers open Southeastern Conference play at home on Sept.

26.

During tonight’s match, the LSU soccer program will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Night.

The night is especially important for the program considering two of its stars, junior midfielder Fernanda Piña and junior midfielder Natalia Gomez-Junco represent Mexico in international competition when they are not wearing the purple and gold.

“In Mexico, we try to play even more passing and more possession,” Gomez-Junco said. “It’s way less physical than how it is here in college soccer. By getting better here and by being more athletic I bring that to Mexico, and it makes me a better player.”

On the pitch, the Tigers hope to regain momentum against the Ladyjacks before heading off on a four-game road stretch.

Offensively, LSU looks to focus on developing the chemistry between the young forwards and veteran midfielders to create a more cohesive offensive unit.

LSU coach Brian Lee said the forwards struggled to adapt to certain tactics that TCU’s defense used on Friday, but one of the team’s goals is to get the players more comfortable playing

LSU coasts behind strong secondary play

BY Jacob Hamilton jhamilton@lsureveille.com LSU pitched its first shutout since 2010, against an overmatched Sam Houston State team en route to a 56-0 win in the Tigers’ first game inside the newly expanded Tiger Stadium.

Aside from some untimely penalties, the defense clicked on all cylinders against its Football Championship Subdivision foe.

“Any time you come out and you put on that type of defensive performance, it’s a big deal,” said sophomore cornerback Tre’Davious White. “It was the first time it has happened in a while so it’s a great accomplishment for the defense.”

The No. 10 Tigers (2-0, 0-0) were able to get immense pressure on Sam Houston State sophomore quarterbacks Jared Johnson and Don King III, amassing seven sacks against the Bearkats.

“We knew they were a big passing team, and we wanted to get some pressure on the quarterback.

We wanted to see how he reacts on his feet, and we wound up getting pressure on him, so he couldn’t make big passes,” said junior linebacker Deion Jones, who got a spike in play time after an injury to fellow junior Kwon Alexander.

LSU’s front seven showed improvements from the Tigers’ win against Wisconsin, holding the Bearkats to 50 yards rushing on 36 carries.

LSU’s Leonard Fournette’s Heisman pose misguided THE DAILY LABATOMY TREY LABAT Sports Editor Everyone get off Leonard Fournette’s back, please.

Sure, the freshman running back who received insane levels of hype did the Heisman pose in his second career game after scoring his first career touchdown.

Sure, it came against renta-win, glorified whipping post Sam Houston State.

Sure, he could only muster 18 yards on eight carries

against a depleted, inexperienced Wisconsin front, the same team that was up by only six points against Western Illinois at halftime Saturday.

But hey, anytime you can take the spotlight off a great team performance and focus it squarely on yourself, you do it.

Especially if everyone on the planet has declared you the greatest thing since sliced bread and if you’re only using your college career to further your personal brand.

Maybe all of the fans in the stadium should head online and pick up “Buga Nation” jerseys rather than the traditional purple and gold.

While in the lead up to his career at LSU, Fournette said and did everything. He earned the respect of a notoriously fickle fanbase and gained a reputation as a stand-up act.

But sometimes actions speak louder than words.

So until Fournette plays for the name on the front of the jersey rather than the one on the back, he’ll continue to lose the respect of the LSU fan base.

“Buga” is the team Fournette currently plays for, not LSU, and Tiger fans should grow accustomed to that notion.

Because we all know LSU

LSU sparked by Jennings, Dural Tigers fall short after

strong tournament start

BY WILL COTCHERY II wcotchery@lsureveille.com Sophomores Anthony Jennings and Travin Dural picked up right where they left off as the No. 10 LSU football team dominated Sam Houston State in a 56-0 shutout Saturday.

Jennings went 7-for-13 for 188 yards and three touchdowns. All three of his scoring strikes went to Dural, who tallied 140 yards on three catches. The duo’s first connection of the game went for 94 yards down the right sideline, the longest passing play in school history.

Dural’s big night came after he caught three of Jennings’ nine completions against Wisconsin on Aug. 30. Dural has caught six of Jennings’ 16 completions and four of Jennings’ five touchdowns this season. For his career, the second-year wideout has 13 receptions for 436 yards and six touchdowns.

“We always talked about doing great things out there on Saturdays,” Jennings said. “Just putting in the hard work during the offseason [and] during fall camp. It’s just not happening ‘just because.’ We put in the hard work, and he’s making great plays.”

While the Tigers’ (2-0) offense torched Sam Houston State (1-2), the defense forced three turnovers. LSU compiled 584 total yards (334 rushing, 250 passing) on 76 plays.

Four rushers finished with 50 yards or more for LSU, but the connection between Jennings

Dural’s contribution is crucial for the Tigers, who lost 1,000-yard receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry to the NFL. After learning from Beckham and Landry as a freshman in 2013, Dural said he has become a better leader and a more reliable target for Jennings.

“Everyone is looking at me [and] asking me questions, opposed to when I was looking at Jarvis and those guys,” Dural said. “I took everything they did and tried to model myself after those guys, and it helped me be the receiver and person I

am today.”

LSU coach Les Miles praised the Tigers’ passing game but mentioned that the aerial attack still needs to improve in some areas. Miles said Jennings is “defining himself and appears to be someone with confidence and calmness,” and Dural has quickly become the quarterback’s favorite target.

“One thing I took from [Beckham and Landry] was to catch every ball, because you never know when it’s going to be your last ball,” Dural said. “You got to make the plays every time you get the ball. When the ball is thrown your way, make a play on the ball [and] take advantage of the opportunity.”

The LSU men’s golf team started the final round of the Carpet Capital Collegiate on Sunday with a share of the lead at The Farm Golf Club in Rocky Face, Georgia.

The Tigers sat in the top spot with Alabama, Auburn, Kennesaw State and host Georgia Tech all tied with a seven-under 569 through 36 holes.

But the Tigers were unable to hold on to the top spot, despite a bogey-free final round 66 (-6) from All-American senior Stewart Jolly.

LSU as a team put up a final round 2-under, 286 to finish the tournament in a tie for sixth place with a final score of 282-287-286, shooting 9-under for the tournament.

Jolly led the Tigers finishing in third place individually with three rounds under par, (71-70-66) for a final total of 207 (-9). Senior Ben Taylor and junior Zach Wright each backed up Jolly’s performance by carding scores of 3-under 213.

Taylor started off the tournament strong with a bogey-less first round score of 67 and entered the second day of this three-day event with a share of the top spot. But Taylor was unable to hold on to the top spot for long, putting up back-

to-back rounds over par to finish 67-73-73.

Wright, meanwhile, played with consistency, never straying above the course par of 72. Wright carded rounds of 71, 70 and 72 over the span of the tournament.

Sophomore Eric Ricard rounded off the final round for the Tigers as the fifth and final member of the LSU squad. Freshman Blake Caldwell did not play his final round due to illness.

Ricard was unable to get under par in any of the three rounds putting up a final 6-over 222 (73-74-75).

South Carolina led the team standings after jumping up six places with a final round 276 (-12).

The Gamecocks were able to edge out tournament host Georgia Tech by one stroke and finished with a final 16-under 848 (291- 281- 276).

Medalist honors went to Georgia Tech’s Ollie Schniederjans who finished 12-under par for the weekend, which included carding a second round score of 64 (-8). Schniederjans’ second round included six birdies and a hole-in-one on the 243yard par 3 8th hole.

Monday, September 8, 2014 DEFENSE, from page 5 “I wanted to make a play for my team,” Thomas said. “Everybody was saying we don’t want to give up any deep balls. We are trying to hold that standard of DBU [Defensive Back University].”

In the third quarter, the Tigers showed their composure with their backs against the wall, as Sam Houston’s offense was knocking on the door only five yards away from the endzone. On a 2nd and goal play, sophomore safety Rickey Jefferson intercepted the ball and returned it 18 yards.

LSU played predominantly man coverage against the Sam Houston receivers with seven men in the box to stop the run. The Bearkat receivers had a tough time separating from the Tigers secondary, led by White, a Preseason Second Team All-Southeastern Conference selection.

“It’s a thing that has been around this defense for years,” White said. “[Defensive coordinator John Chavis] likes bump-andrun corners. That’s the technique that we try to run every week. We will challenge any receiver.”

The blowout victory allowed the Tigers to parcel out playing time to the younger generation of defensive backs, with true freshmen Jamal Adams, Ed Paris, Devin Voorhies and John Battle receiving significant play time.

Even after a strong performance, White said the defense will be forced to improve throughout the season.

“When you have Coach Chavis as your defensive coordinator, you know he’s going to challenge you each and every week to come out and play Tiger defense,” White said.

SOCCER, from page 5 with one another.

The Tigers’ forwards are led by sophomore Summer Clarke and freshman Jorian Baucom, who are tied for most goals on the team with three each.

Clarke led the team last year with 10 goals on the season, while Baucom continues to make a splash in her freshman campaign after scoring her first goal in the first minute of her collegiate career.

“Jorian came around late and was dangerous,” Lee said. “I feel like we have a lot of versatile kids.”

After the midfield struggled against TCU, the Tigers’ group of experienced players in the middle look to control the center of the field and better distribute the ball to the forwards.

“We think we can attack from a lot of different ways from a lot of different people,” Lee said. “Emma Fletcher and Summer Clarke are proven top-notch attacking players, and we think Jorian [Baucom] and Natalia [Gomez-Junco] can do the same.”

The Tigers’ young defensive line led by sophomore Megan Lee will face another challenge in the Ladyjacks’ freshman forward Hanna Barker, who is tied for the team lead with two goals.

Kick off for LSU’s match against Stephen F. Austin is set for 6 p.m. in the LSU Soccer Stadium.

Ryan, Bryant lead Falcons past Saints 37-34 in OT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Ryan has turned in plenty of impressive performances for the Atlanta Falcons.

This was probably his best yet.

Throwing for a franchise-record 448 yards and showing some rarely used mobility to keep plays going, Ryan led the Falcons to a 3734 overtime victory over the New Orleans Saints in another thriller between the NFC South rivals Sunday.

Matt Bryant kicked a tying 51-yard field goal on the final play of regulation and won the season opener with a 52-yarder after the Saints fumbled the ball away on the second play of overtime.

But this was mostly about Ryan, who completed 31 of 43 with three touchdowns and eclipsed the team passing record of 431 yards set by Chris Chandler in 2001.

Ryan also ran three times for 15 yards and dodged the Saints’ pressure most of the day, going down only one time after taking a career-high 44 sacks last season.

“He’s played a lot of games, made a lot of plays for us,” coach Mike Smith said. “But I was really impressed with his ability to extend some plays by moving around in the pocket. And he was very, very accurate. When you have (568 yards) of total offense and 448 through the air, your quarterback is playing well.”

For good measure, Ryan eclipsed the team record for career TD passes. He is now at 156, breaking the mark of 154 held by Steve Bartkowski.

The Falcons beat New Orleans for just the fourth time in their last 17 meetings. This one was particularly sweet for Atlanta coming off a miserable 4-12 season, its first losing campaign since 2007.

The teams combined for 17 points in the final 2:50 of the fourth. The Saints got the ball first in overtime, but Marques Colston was stripped from behind by William Moore after catching a firstdown pass over the middle.

Joplu Bartu recovered the fumble at the Saints 38. Moore flexed his muscles from his knees in the middle of the field, while Colston slammed his helmet in disgust when he got back to the sideline, brushing away a teammate who tried to console him.

“You’ve only got two eyes. You can’t see behind you,” Moore said of his play on Colston. “I’m going to continue to work on that and hopefully I can get some more throughout the season.”

The game fit right in with a divisional series in which nine of the previous 12 meetings were decided by eight points or less.

“That’s a tough game to lose,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

“Every once in a while, you get in one of these games where the score goes back and forth. The smallest of details, especially in overtime, magnifies any little mistake.”

The Falcons (1-0), who twice trailed from 13 points in the first half, went ahead on Jacquizz Rodgers’ dazzling 17-yard run with 2:50 remaining. The diminutive back cut this way and that for a 31-27 lead. Back came Drew Brees

Mark Ingram powered over from the 3 for his second touchdown to make it 34-31 with 1:20 left.

That was enough time for Ryan. He completed three passes on the tying drive, the big one a 21-yarder to Devin Hester that set up Bryant’s tying kick.

Hester, who has starred as a return specialist, showed he’s still got some skills as a receiver. After not catching even one pass for Chicago last season, the 31-year-old had five receptions for 99 yards.

Brees threw for 333 yards, but was picked off in the end zone

after the Saints drove to the Atlanta 14 in the third quarter. Colston had five receptions for 110 yards.

The Saints scored on all four first-half possessions, working first-round pick Brandin Cooks right into their already dynamic offense. He hauled in a 3-yard pass that pushed New Orleans to a 20-7 lead.

Atlanta cut it to 20-10 going into the break, thanks to a brilliant leaping catch by Roddy White for a 39-yard gain on the next-to-last play of the half. Bryant booted a 40-yard field goal that gave the Falcons a bit of momentum.

What can we learn from the celebrity nudes photo leak? compiled by The Daily Reveille opinion staff fact that some TAMING OF THE The people reacted to the SHIRIN nudes leak by saying, “If

they didn’t want those SHIRIN on the Internet, they CHOWDHURY shouldn’t have taken Columnist the pictures,” says to me that we’ve been trained to expect our privacy to be invaded. Perhaps people should stop having sex in the privacy of their own bedrooms because you never know when someone’s going to break into your home, plant a hidden camera and post tapes of it on the Internet. Is that the kind of cynical reasoning we should adhere to?

BUT HE MEANS WELL

I get that there’s this running joke about nobody GORDON BRILLON understanding what the Cloud really is Opinion Editor or how it works, but all the coverage surrounding this story has shown me that the media largely is totally ignorant of technology. If there’s some technological advance that can’t be wrangled into a 30-second spot about how those crazy millenials are all promiscuously destroying our morals, don’t expect network news to be able to understand it.

Nothing makes the public out more than when NO WAY JOSE freak their favorite celebrities JOSE BASTIDAS go through something that could happen to them.

Columnist Online privacy is never really privacy — hackers will always find a way in. Remember “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”? This is the lesson I learned from this breach of privacy: The Internet is an ever-evolving mystery to users.

We must all realize that while it is very convenient, it can’t be fully trusted. We never know who might be surfing through our Cloud.

I’m not interested in nude leaks. I want to see what SIDNEYROSE REYNEN kind of emojis Jennifer Lawrence Columnist uses in her text messages. Do you think she uses the poop emoji more often than the manicure emoji? That’s where things get personal.

OUR LADY OF ANGST

BLUE COLLAR SCHOLAR

I mean, when you upload personal things to the “worldJUSTIN STAFFORD wide” web, can you really expect it to Columnist stay personal? No. That kind of online security is not available. There are indeed privacy laws, and new ones regarding the Internet are being created each year. Keep in mind, if you do not wish for your content to be seen by anyone other than yourself, it’s best to take proper precautions and considerations.

What we can take from this is that BRACE YOURSELF anything digitally recorded, be it a RYAN MCGEHEE photo or a video, is Columnist never really secure.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

So the next time you want to take some nude selfies for a significant other, stick with a Polaroid.

I cringed when I heard another celebrity had been sexually exploited.

JANA KING It was sure to be Columnist another instance where the media would portray the victim as the one who did something wrong. But the general reaction from the media has been that it’s not the celebrities who are at fault. The conversation has changed, and I’m proud of everyone for that. But remember this wasn’t a leak, this was a sexual crime. The hackers should be treated as sexual offenders.

[Clockwise from top left] Rihanna, Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice and Kaley Cuoco are among the more than 100 celebrities victimized in the massive nude photo leak.

Head to Head Who is responsible for bikers’ safety on the road?

Bikers need to obey traffic laws to keep themselves safe BRACE YOURSELF Ryan Mcgehee Columnist It’s an indisputable fact that Baton Rouge traffic is abysmal.

Ask anyone and they’ll tell you to stay clear of anything resembling asphalt from the hours of 3 to 6 p.m.

It only makes matters worse that, especially around campus, there are a select few individuals that decide to further congest our roadways by biking.

If they insist on motorists sharing the road, bikers must first respect the rules of said road.

Now, don’t mistake me. I don’t have any particular animosity for those who choose to ride a bicycle in lieu of walking, driving or taking the bus, nor did I have any traumatic childhood experiences with bikes.

It was a scooter.

What I find so irksome is that whenever I’m driving around campus or the surrounding areas, there’s always at least one biker who acts as though they’re above the law and can bike as they please.

We’ve all experienced it. You’re already late for work, so after rushing to get out of the house you hop in your car and pray to hit every green light between there and your office.

But instead of a quick trip down the road, you’re stuck behind a bicyclist who, despite the perfectly good and notably vacant sidewalk one yard to their immediate right, decides to stay just far enough into the road to make passing them impossible.

To top it all off, they may even occasionally flip the bird at everything society stands for and run a stop sign — the same act that would leave a motorist with a ticket.

What you’re left in is a purgatory — traveling at a 10 mph crawl, you’re left full of barely-contained road rage and even later for work.

Bicyclists must understand that if we’re to share the road, it’s imperative that they abide by the same rules as drivers. This includes signaling at turns, stopping at all relevant signals and signs and most definitely not jumping out into traffic whenever the mood strikes you.

But seriously, I almost killed a man one time driving near sorority row when he decided to pull an admittedly sick bunny hop off the sidewalk and into the road.

Bicyclists must also understand that they’re moving significantly slower than everything else on the road. On campus, speed limit signs are posted at 20 mph in some areas, and that number

only increases as you get further away from campus.

Given that your average bicyclist travels between 10 and 12 mph, it would help everyone involved if slower persons in the roadway would yield to faster vehicles. Tour de France winners only bike at an average 25 mph, and they do it for a living.

As for an addition of bike lanes around campus and the surrounding area, I’m all for it. However, that would be a question for the same geniuses who decided to make East Boyd Drive and Ben Hur at Burbank right-turn-only.

Adherence to these rules isn’t only a matter of common decency, it’s also a safety issue. Given the weight and average speed of most vehicles on the road around campus, a collision with a bicyclist can leave a would-be Lance Armstrong cooling their heels in the hospital, or worse, the morgue.

Drivers need to respect bikers and their safety on the road TAMING OF THE SHIRIN Shirin Chowdhury Columnist It was the end of a long day of class. I was exhausted, and it was finally time to go home and take that nap I promised myself I wouldn’t take.

But first, I had to make my way back to my car, which I left in the commuter parking lot — otherwise known as the other side of the universe.

I found my beloved bike, hopped on and started peddling toward the commuter lot.

Almost immediately, the familiar sound of a car engine driving much too close to my rear end came up behind me. It’s always a really unsettling thing to hear because it feels like the car is trying to push me off the road.

I get it. It was after five, the person driving the car was in a hurry to get somewhere, and I was an inconvenience. I felt bad because that was not my intention. I was just trying to get around.

Then the driver honked his horn at me.

This not only threw me off, but it made me angry. What did he expect me to do?

Zoe Geauthreaux / The Daily Reveille

Bikers and drivers are often forced to fight for their places on the roads.

Disintegrate into the atmosphere so he could get by me?

Shortly after he beeped at me, I had to make a turn and he kept going straight. I’d say it was only about 60 seconds total that he was driving behind me, possibly even less.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen cars honk at bikers. Just a few weeks ago, I saw a driver honk at a girl innocently biking down State Street.

This shows how impatient and entitled some drivers have become, especially around campus.

Trekking from one side of campus to the other on foot can be inconvenient and time consuming, and it will more often than not leave you regretting your choice of shoes for the day.

Biking is a much quicker alternative, but bikers are caught in an awkward limbo between pedestrians and automobiles.

The sidewalk is overcrowded with pedestrians, walking always too slowly and often in packs. There never ceases to be that one person who walks in the center of the sidewalk, managing to block the entire width of the pathway.

If bikers attempt to use the sidewalk, they get caught in a slow, painful bike ride behind people, and will no doubt receive dirty looks from the ones on foot that suggest, “Get the hell off this sidewalk. This is our turf!”

“Bikers belong on the road,” they say. So to the road we go.

The conditions for bikers on LSU’s campus are rough. There should be biking lanes, but there aren’t. Consequently, bikers are left with no choice but to share the road with the big, bad cars.

The roads are cramped, unjust and sometimes scary. It’s no secret that in the event of an accident between a biker and a car, the biker would receive the fatal end of the stick.

Bikers are a very misunderstood community. They’re unwanted on the sidewalks, and they’re unwanted on the road.

It’s unfair, and bikers deserve better treatment. It’s time that we as bikers demand some respect and understanding from the car-folk.

The next time you’re driving behind a bike, give them some space. Know that we, like you, are just trying to reach our destination safely.

If it means you have to drive just a little slower than you’d like, so be it. It’s not the end of the world and does not justify aggressive behavior toward us.

Just because you have the advantage of being in a car doesn’t mean the road is yours. Bikes take to the road because they have no other feasible options.

Pedestrians, bikers and drivers must all exercise caution and patience wherever they go. Only then will LSU be a safer, easier place to navigate.

is only a stop on the route for Fournette’s impending greatness. I’m sure NFL linebackers are already quivering in their boots at the thought of Fournette stampeding toward them.

Take away his admittedly impressive 40-yard romp, and Fournette ran for 52 yards on 12 carries. Those 52 yards came against a defense that allowed Eastern Washington’s Quincy Forte to run for 153 yards and a touchdown in its opening game of the season. I wonder if Forte thought it prudent to mimic the Heisman pose after his touchdown.

Maybe it’s the fans’ fault.

Maybe all the hype got into his head. But Fournette would do well to remember some of the previous highly recruited players who failed before him.

Before Russell Shepard came to Baton Rouge he was a “can’t miss” prospect. Ryan Perrilloux before him.

I don’t think that one play will define Fournette’s career, but by enabling him and reinforcing his ego, Les Miles is doing the freshman a disservice.

Miles compared Fournette to Adrian Peterson and Michael Jordan before the season, lofty praise for a player who hadn’t accomplished anything on a college football field yet.

On the field after the incident, Miles clearly was not pleased with Fournette’s action, but defended him after the game. Miles has a reputation for being a players coach and defending his guys no matter what, but I struggle to see a scenario in my mind in which Nick Saban defends someone after pulling a stunt like that.

Patrick Peterson, another Tiger who struck the Heisman

page 11 pose after a touchdown, was another player who had a notorious level of self-confidence.

But Peterson’s antics on and off the field stemmed from success at the college level.

Peterson had established a reputation as the one of the biggest playmakers in college football and a premier lockdown corner in the Southeastern Conference. His Heisman stance came after a 60 yard punt return touchdown against then-No.22 West Virginia, in what would end up being a one score game.

It didn’t come after a plethora of high school YouTube highlight film established him as an internet celebrity or in the midst of a 56 point blowout.

Fournette obviously thinks he’s earned the type of acclaim, just notice the number on his jersey. But respect at this level is earned, not given.

So, my advice to young freshman is to remember how he got to this position. Remember that in high school the thing that impressed everyone wasn’t just your freakish athletic ability, but your humble, hard working attitude.

Also remember you probably have to run for more than 92 yards against an overmatched FCS team to the Heisman.

Garret Graves rallies students to work for campaign

BY Savanah dickinson sdickinson@lsureveille.com

Garret Graves is encouraging students to help him run for Congress in Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District.

Graves spoke to a crowd of about 30 students in the Business Education Complex on Sunday, encouraging them to intern for his campaign.

Graves said University students are an important demographic because they are idealists and have the desire to change the world.

“I want to give you an opportunity to get involved and take that energy, to take that desire, to take that drive that you have to change the world, to be idealistic, because I still am,” Graves said.

With the prevalence of social media, his campaign needs the help of young voters.

Graves is building a social media network to reach out to young voters, utilizing Facebook and Twitter.

Graves said he wants his interns to speak to their friends about the campaign, creating a snowball effect on campus to engage other students.

Graves’ campaign manager Kevin Roig and political director Ryan Lambert spoke about what an internship with the Graves campaign entails.

“Our main focus is on voter contact,” Lambert said.

Lambert said the next phase of the campaign is knocking on doors and surveying potential voters. He said the Graves campaign has been active in every parish in of the congressional district, and he foresees Graves campaigning in every precinct in the district.

Graves told students he never intended to run for political office, and he enjoyed working behind the scenes.

Over the last year, Louisiana residents began asking Graves to run for Congress because of his work with his family’s small business and time spent as chair of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana under Gov. Bobby Jindal.

“I love the outdoors. I love Louisiana,” Graves said.

Graves emphasized the importance of electing a candidate who understands how vital maritime commerce and the oil and gas industry are to Louisiana.

“We have to send people [to Washington, D.C.] that understand the fundamental aspects of our state,” Graves said.

Graves began his experience in Washington, D.C., as an intern while attending Louisiana Tech University.

He intended to stay in D.C.

Congressional candidate Garret Graves speaks Sunday at the new student organization Students for Graves. for one month, but one month turned into 12 years.

“Congress is the best place to figure out what you want to do,” Graves said.

During his time in D.C., Graves said he realized his passion for serving his home state.

“We need people that know Louisiana,” Graves said.

Graves’ humble beginnings also encouraged him to run for office.

Graves said he grew up in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home in Baton Rouge with four

siblings who shared two beds.

They spent numerous summers eating ramen noodles and Spam.

“My father worked his butt off to achieve his version of the American dream,” Graves said.
