Child care center to partner with firm

FOSTER Tight end Moreau provides comedic relief to teammates

BY SAM KARLIN samkarlin_TDR

BY MORGAN PREWITT @kmprewitt_TDR “Shut up, freshman” has quietly become the mantra of the LSU tight end room in wake of freshman Foster Moreau’s antics.

In the words of junior linebacker Kendell Beckwith, Moreau is a “character.”

From interviewing fellow Tigers with bananas and apples to walking into their apartments without warning, Moreau’s personality can test even his most patient teammates.

But Moreau never fails to entertain on and off the field, giving the Tigers much-needed

Aiming to enhance the quality of its Child Care Center, LSU announced plans to partner with a private firm to manage the center at a meeting last week, launching an “exploratory” process to find a suitable organization.

Vice President for Finance and Administration Daniel Layzell is forming an evaluation committee of parents, composed of LSU faculty senate, staff senate and Student Government representatives, to have a voice in the discussion.

The campus-based center opened in 2004 and cared for than 170 children of LSU faculty, staff and students, ages six weeks to five years. The center charges $700 per month for fulltime students and $770 for faculty, staff and part-time students.

The search will span the next four months, and Layzell said if LSU selects a viable partner, it will announce the decision February 2016. He emphasized the model would be a private-public partnership, with some oversight from the school’s administration.

Faculty and staff representatives on the committee said their constituents voiced concerns

SG, Facility Services embark on walk to improve campus lighting

BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter Most students avoided dark areas of campus while on their nightly commute Tuesday night, but Student Government members sought them out.

SG representatives and LSU staff members met at the University Public Safety Building before embarking on the “light walk,” in which teams of students and faculty roamed campus to find areas that may need

an additional lighting or repairs to an existing light.

Michael Hooks, the director of the LSU Office of Environmental Health and Safety department, led the event and outlined the goals for the night.

“It’s very important that you mark the areas correctly and let us know what you find,” Hooks said to the participants.

Campus was divided into eight quadrants with eight staff members leading teams to inspect each section. Each team

was given a map and asked to mark certain issues, such as where trees may need trimming around a light, where a light may be needed or where one may be burned out.

Laura Morrow, director of utility systems, led “Team Quad.” She said she was approaching the light walk from a mother’s perspective. She has a son who is a junior and a daughter who will begin college next year.

“Moms tend to be a little

overprotective,” Morrow said.

“I look at this as, ‘would I want my daughter walking out here by herself?’”

SG senators Shane Vallery and Amanda Fontenot joined Team Quad along with Morrow.

Both senators sit on the Campus Affairs and Sustainability committee, which organized SG’s side of the event.

Vallery said he never had any problems with walking around

Ogden Honors College revives Grecian study abroad program

BY TIA BANERJEE @tiabanerjee_TDR Students who want to learn on land and by sea may want to consider applying for the Honors in the Aegean study abroad program, offered to both honors and non-honors students.

The program offers two classical studies courses, two honors courses and will potentially offer an English course, said Drew Lamonica Arms, Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College professional-in-residence.

Arms said she hopes to get 13 students to register for the program, which will run from May 24 to June 16.

The Honors in the Aegean program is being revived after six-year absence.

“We’re really excited to present it after we’ve been studying a lot of both the literature and history of the classical world in the Honors College,” Arms said.

“We thought it was a good time to sort of launch it again.”

What distinguishes this program from other study abroad trips is the number of places visited, program director Michelle Zerba said.

“We’ve designed it to be a program that moves to several different locations,” Zerba said.

“We probably visit more places actually going to places that I’ve than any other program offered read about in literature that is by the Academic Programs more than 2,000 years old,” Ristroph said. “I’m really excited Abroad.”

The trip will include visits for that.”

page 4 CHILD CARE, from page 1 about a private organization running the center.

“A lot of the parents were concerned that the quality of the curriculum might not be as good, that the ratio of students to teachers may rise, that not as much personnel is going to be available that is highly qualified,” said foreign languages and literatures assistant professor Gundela Hachmann, who is the committee’s faculty representative.

The center has a five star rating from the Quality Start Child Care Rating System of Louisiana and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

Hachmann, mother to a 20-month-old girl who stays at the Child Care Center, said the center is considered one of the best in Baton Rouge, and faculty members expressed reservations about changing an already effective system.

While Hachmann said she is not for or against the plan yet, not everyone agrees it will benefit LSU, as privatizing often means layoffs and significant structural changes to the way an organization runs.

“Privatization does not always work in favor of the people involved,” Hachmann said.

While LSU would encourage the potential partner to retain current staff members, Layzell said, the firm would have

complete hiring authority.

First Year Experience assistant director Ramon Lopez represents the Child Care Center workers on the staff senate and the newly formed committee on the privatization plan.

Lopez said child care workers and other staff members have given detailed responses to the plan, but he said he could not specify what they included.

To ensure the private organization will improve the center’s care, Layzell said he wants the center to retain accreditation from the NAEYC. He said he will also study the track records of child care centers at other universities, and their hiring and retention practices.

Other large universities, including Purdue University and Duke University, partnered with private providers to manage campus child care centers, Layzell said.

The plan is not aimed at costeffectiveness, he said, but at enhancing care. LSU would have some oversight in contract talks to ensure affordable care, he said.

“Down the road, if they expand programming, might that require an increase in rates?” he said. “Potentially, but that would be part of a conversation between the university and the provider and the parents to make sure that would be something we would be comfortable [with].”

comedic relief in the midst of their brutal November Southeastern Conference stretch.

“All of the tight ends are clowns, but he really brings it to another level,” said junior tight end Colin Jeter. “He’s a great teammate ... He’s just a clown.

He’s a freshman, and we enjoy having him in our room.”

Despite LSU coach Les Miles’ inclusion of freshmen in leadership roles throughout his tenure, Moreau inspired a different reaction by tight end coach Steve Ensminger.

Ensminger reinstituted the policy that freshmen can’t speak in the meeting room after Moreau demonstrated his tendency to always have something to say.

“We have to tell him to just shut up a lot,” Jeter said. “He’s one of those guys that can just talk all day. He’s always making jokes. He’s always just trying to just dog somebody. We always have fun in the tight end room.

We like to bring it back to him.”

And in the film room, the rest of the tight ends achieve just that: payback.

For every mistake the unit or Ensminger finds on tape, the offending tight end has to run a gasser, a running drill also known as a suicide.

Although Moreau loves to point out other players’ mistakes, Jeter said the rest of the tight ends team up to make sure

the number of lights might not be the problem.

Munch said there seems to be lights all over campus, but many might not be working or on at the time.

“A lot of these lights like to click off,” Munch said. “You’ll have one light and then a stretch of burnt out lights. It always happens around the French House and that little spot behind the Union.”

The outskirts of campus, near commuter lots, might need additional lighting, said English junior Sabrina Gallien. She said the area is sometimes well-lit, but the lights have a tendency to be off at night.

Teams of students and faculty search campus for areas that may need an additional lighting or repairs to existing lights.

MOREAU, from page 1

he runs the most gassers after practice.

“We as a tight end room like to team up on him and make sure Coach Ensminger sees every little mistake that he makes just to get him back,” Jeter said.

“We think he’s learned a little bit from that, but he still tests us some days.”

After unlacing his cleats and slipping into his Nike slides, the 6-foot-5, 261-pound tight end sneaks into media availability and patiently waits for the melee of questions to die down around Beck with.

Holding up a half-eaten apple on a stick or a taped banana as a recorder, Moreau jumps in with a question like, “How has your play been affected by the lack of Blue Bell ice cream?”

Beckwith, a common target of Moreau’s impromptu interviews, laughs before responding, “It’s been [negatively] affected a lot. I’m the Blue Bell king. I love vanilla. Buttered pecan’s pretty good. They really need to put Blue Bell back out though.”

Moreau is a sports administration major, but his routine interviews gave Beckwith another idea.

“I wonder if he’s going to school for it,” Beckwith said. “I see he walks around here and plays reporter a lot. We just enjoy it. I don’t get annoyed about it at all. It’s just a joke to me.”

His clowning around is

well-known throughout the team, but it doesn’t compare to the New Orleans native’s trolling capabilities outside the football operations building a fact sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre is well aware of as Moreau’s neighbor.

“Around the team, you can’t really get the sense of how much he is a clown as much as I do living by him,” Dupre said. “He’s my neighbor in our apartments, and he’s probably in my apartment more than he’s in his own.

It’s to the point now, our backs can be turned and our door will open and we don’t even have to look because we know it’s Foster.”

His personality takes center stage off the field, while Moreau’s play on the gridiron speaks for itself as he helps junior tight end DeSean Smith and Jeter fill in for the loss of senior tight end Dillon Gordon to a season-ending injury.

Moreau has played in all of the Tigers’ seven games, including his first career start against Syracuse University on Sept. 26.

“He’s really impressed me coming in as a freshman and understanding the offense and what we need to do,” Jeter said.

“He’s improving every week.

He does a great job for us in the blocking game, goal line and even in the passing game. He hasn’t caught any balls yet, but he does a great job of running routes and getting open.”

LIGHT WALK, from page 1 campus at night, but also said being a man gives him a different perspective.

Fontenot said she avoids walking around campus after dark.

“Definitely, if it’s dark outside, I make a conscious decision [not to go outside],” Fontenot said. “Coming back to my dorm is terrifying because you can’t see anything.”

The areas on the map will be put in as work orders, and a high voltage unit will inspect each area, Morrow said. Some problems may require a long-term plan to get them fixed, but Morrow said the walk helps the Office of Facility Services get the plan together.

Morrow applauded SG for volunteering its time to fix campus issues for other students.

Psychology senior Katelyn McCoy said the quad and a stretch of pathway near Patrick F. Taylor Hall need additional lighting.

“Last night, I was coming out of the library, and it was very dark, around 1 o’clock in the morning,” McCoy said. “If you walk towards Patrick F. Taylor, there’s a little student walkway that has no lights on it. Since it gets dark earlier, it’s kind of unsafe.”

McCoy said she never felt threatened or endangered while on campus, but said she was “lucky.”

English junior Madeline Munch said she thought about lighting recently, though she said

KAREN WELSH / The Daily Reveille

It makes perfect sense that sophomore wide receiver Malachi Dupre and sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris are good friends.

The pass-catching battery came to LSU in the same recruiting class and trudged through the

low points of an arduous freshman season. They spent time tinkering with the once-maligned passing game, pushing through a 4-for-14 performance in LSU’s 4422 win against Eastern Michigan University on Oct. 3.

They both even entered the world on the same day: Oct. 12, 1995.

The duo assisted detouring motorists driving through the heavy Baton Rouge downpour on Oct. 25, and attempted to help one woman retrieve insulin for her son as her car was trapped by the flooding.

And as friends sometimes do, Dupre works as somewhat of a psychologist for the ultra-competitive Harris, who gets worked up by

page 8 DUPRE, from page 5 much as wanting to do the interviews,” Dupre said. “But I will say, if he got the opportunity to do them, he would tell y’all how he really feels. That’s just how he is.”

Harris may play with an unrelenting chip on his shoulder, but the critics of LSU’s passing game may be changing their tune. Over the Tigers’ last three games, Harris completed 42-of-67 passes for 716 yards and seven touchdowns.

Thirteen completions, 275 yards and four touchdowns went to Dupre.

Dupre was also on the receiving end of six “chunk plays” — completions of 15 yards or more — in the three Tiger wins against the University of South Carolina, Florida and Western Kentucky University. On the year, the New Orleans native has nine such chunk plays, aiding to a 18.91 yards-per-reception clip, which ranks second in the

Southeastern Conference.

After two-straight games with touchdowns of more than 50 yards, Dupre adds home run-hitting ability through the air that sophomore running back Leonard Fournette brings on the ground.

“Hitting home runs in games is awesome, just like any other big play in sports — like a home run [in baseball],” Dupre said. “It just gives extra momentum for a team.

Like you said, a 10-yard slant for a touchdown, that’s exciting. You’re putting points on the board. But if you’re on the 50-yard line and you get a 50-yard touchdown, I feel like those aren’t always as expected as if you’re in the red zone and score.”

To be second in the SEC in receiving touchdowns while playing in the fifth-best rushing offense in the nation seems like a difficult task. But Dupre, Harris and LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron have figured out ways to exploit run-committing defenses as

the Tigers rank in the top 30 in the nation in total offense.

Even with Fournette’s success and the running game, fine tuning the passing game, especially before Saturday’s test with No. 4 Alabama, was still the priority.

Harris’ growth continues to evolve in Dupre’s eyes, which is beyond statistics.

“Definitely not the stat sheet at all,” Dupre said. “That’s just a testament to the coaches calling plays and us executing. I just feel like I can see him growing on the practice field as a leader and doing all the little things well. If he doesn’t make a throw that he feels is the best for him, he can coach himself.

“I think the coaches can see it also. Maybe at one point in his career, if he messed up, the coaches might have tried to coach him at that point. Now, they let him coach himself. That just shows maturity and the coaches having trust in you to coach yourself.”

Wednesday November 4, 2015 BRAXTON, from page 5 Braxton’s vision for himself and the team doesn’t stop there.

“I have a lot of goals,” Braxton said. “For one, of course I want to get my individual title.

Long term, I’m looking at making the U.S. team for the Olympics. Team wise, it’s LSU. I want us to win a national championship, at least two before I’m gone.”

Between striving for his goals, practicing and studying, Braxton looks to influence his three siblings as well. He said his family motivates him, specifically his sister.

“She’s 8 years old,” Braxton said. “I just want her to be able to grow up and be able to say, ‘Hey, my brother does this. My brother was that good.’ I like to really motivate

them. I hope that me going to a Division I college like LSU shows them that they can do that too.”

Braxton continues to work hard to improve, though Robinson said he’s not what one would think of as a typical distance runner because of how soft-spoken and confident he is.

“I think he’s a person that has been blessed to have lived in Vegas and understands who he is, and is comfortable with that,” Robinson said. “He gets along with people. He’s funny.

Everybody likes him. That’s the thing I like about him: You can’t put him in a box, and I’m the same way. You can’t put me in a box, and if you do, I’m getting out.”

The Tigers will compete in the NCAA South Central Regional in College Station, Texas, in two weeks.

LSU debuts at No. 2 in first College Football Playoff official rankings

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_TDR In the first College Football Playoff ranking of the 2015 season, LSU (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) was picked as the secondranked team in the nation, according to the CFP selection committee.

The 12-man committee meets every Monday and

Tuesday to produce the weekly rankings.

The Nov. 3rd ranking is the first-of-six meetings the committee makes before four semifinal teams are announced on Dec. 6.

The Tigers are the highestranked SEC team — trailed by No. 4 Alabama, who the Tigers will face at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The Tigers and

Crimson Tide are the two, highest ranked SEC teams, which make the matchup this weekend more exciting, junior defensive end Louis Neal said.

“I can’t wait,” Neal said.

“There’s a lot of history in this. It’s an honor to play in it.

I’m blessed to be able to play in it.”

Sophomore safety Jamal Adams simplified the magnitude of the matchup in a five

words.

“It’s going to be war,” Adams said.

The Tigers and Crimson Tide are two of the top-4 teams, who now make the cut for the College Football Playoff. The two teams are intersected by No. 1 Clemson and No. 3 Ohio State.

No. 5 Notre Dame and No. 6 Baylor are the others near the top of the selection

committee’s initial rankings.

The Tigers led a six-pack of SEC teams inside the top 25.

They are trailed by No. 4 Alabama, No. 10 Florida, No. 18 Ole Miss, No. 19 Texas A&M and No. 20 Mississippi State.

LSU defeated Mississippi State, 21-19, on Sept. 12 and Florida, 35-28, on Oct. 17, and is set to face Alabama on Saturday, Ole Miss on Nov. 21 and Texas A&M on Nov. 28.

Sanders most progressive candidate for marijuana reform ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY Columnist Hey, all you lazy, weedsmoking hippies. It’s time to start paying attention to the presidential election because Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out as the most progressive candidate for marijuana reform last week.

Sanders wants to remove cannabis from the list of controlled substances, a move shy of full federal legalization but still a drastic step in the right direction. Marijuana legalization would still be a states’ rights issue, but states would have more freedom over how they handle the plant.

By descheduling the drug, marijuana businesses in Colorado and other states could grow stronger. Right now, federal law forces marijuana businesses to operate in a cash-only model. The government prevents banks from working with these businesses, making it next to impossible to open bank accounts or apply for business loans.

The “socialist” running for

office is introducing pro-business, libertarian legislation.

Ironic, right?

This is another example of how Sanders isn’t actually the far-left communist people make him out to be. In terms of public opinion, Sanders is the most centrist candidate running for office. Everyone else is far to the right of the American general population.

Sanders wants to deschedule marijuana. Gallup found 58 percent of the American public supported legalizing marijuana, making Sanders’ position more in-step with the American public than any other candidate running for president.

Go through his other campaign proposals, and the American people are generally on board He wants to raise the minimum wage, make college tuition-free, get money out of politics and make corporations and the richest one percent of Americans pay their fair share of taxes.

Our political climate skews so far to the right that a candidate sounds like a dirty socialist when he or she proposes ideas aligned with the country’s popular opinion. But here’s a little secret: Every single student at LSU is a socialist in some

way, even my libertarian-leaning editor.

You go to a school subsidized by the government. Most of you probably receive federal financial aid. The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance found 34.05 percent of LSU students received TOPS, arguably one of the most socialist programs in America for students.

Fire stations, police stations, post offices and anything else the government runs is socialist. Your grandma’s monthly Social Security check and Medicare are the most socialist and most popular programs in America.

So stop saying Sanders is too “radical” to get elected. Don’t say he can’t win because he embraces the democratic socialist term. He’s in line with the American people both in policy and in ideology.

In fact, he polls better against most Republicans than Hillary Rodham Clinton. Various polls since September pitted Sanders and Clinton against potential Republican nominees Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina. In almost every poll, Sanders outperformed Clinton against the GOP.

However, if you still want Clinton to be our next president, don’t worry. I’m sure she’ll support Sanders’ marijuana policy in a few years.

Millennials should be careful what they put on social media MY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL CLARKE PERKINS Columnist Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers? More like Twitter fingers turn to trigger fingers.

Maybe Meek Mill’s fingers turned to Twitter fingers given his beef with Drake, but it’s the complete opposite for millennials. Our Twitter fingers can be detrimental to our future.

Social media in general could be detrimental to millennials’ future.

Last week, @_zolarmoon captivated the Internet with her humorous, compelling and suspenseful Twitter story, which is informally referred to as “Zola’s Story.”

Aziah King’s story is made up of 158 tweets and tells the story of

her and three others’ wild Florida adventure.

The story involves stripping, prostitution and sex-trafficking — King even mentions witnessing a murder, possibly making her an accomplice.

Twitter got a good kick out of the story, but many people questioned why she would air her dirty laundry on social media, considering most of her story consists of illegal actions.

Not only could she possibly be facing legal repercussions, but this could make it hard for her to get a job in the business world.

Many of the people questioning Zola’s tweets should be mindful of their own social media content.

Obviously “Zola’s Story” is a dramatic example — the average tweeter won’t capture the attention of the entire Internet with a rampage of tweets, nor will they

tweet about witnessing a murder.

However, it should still be an eye-opener.

What King may have thought was just entertainment is now the first like that pops up when you Google her name.

Tweets, Instagrams and Facebook posts can and will play a role in your future endeavours.

According to Time, 93 percent of employers search through the social media of potential hirees during the interview process.

College years are when you need to be the most mindful of your social media content. As much as you may want to showcase your continuous partying and large consumption of alcohol, those tweets and pictures will come back and haunt you.

The worst part is we are the guinea pigs. Millennials are the first generation exposed to social

media, and future generations will learn from our mistakes. Millennials can only use our common sense and learn from each other.

However, there is a bright side to social media. With some discretion and a little common sense, it is possible to use your social media platform to your advantage. Instead of aimlessly tweeting, tweet with a purpose.

Yeah, you can tweet some foolish things for a few retweets and a couple of laughs, but you’ll regret it in the long run.

Be careful what you tweet unless your career goal is to be Twitter famous, then tweet whatever your little heart desires.

Alumna, orthopedic surgeon creates shoes combatting heel pain Warner to complete clinical trials this month for small business

BY CARRIE GRACE HENDERSON @carriegraceh Meredith Warner, an LSU alumna and LSU Louisiana Business and Technology Center tenant, is giving new meaning to “practical footwear” with her patent-pending flip-flops that reduce heel pain.

Warner, an orthopedic surgeon at Warner Orthopedics and Wellness, earned her MBA at LSU and has worked on Healing Sole shoes for five years — tweaking and perfecting them until her first batch rolled off the assembly line in October.

“We just got our first shipment in,” Warner said. “But the project started a while ago.

You had to go through the design phase, and then we had to go through the phase where we were dealing with the patent and writing all that up. Then we had to find the manufacturing partner.”

Warner said her first steps into the business world were “pretty intense,” and involved checking prototypes, arranging shipping and working with a
