Blows dealt in first runoff debate

Class speech creates controversy

BY SAM KARLIN @samkarlin_TDR

BY KAYLA RANDALL @Kay_Ran21

The two remaining Louisiana gubernatorial candidates attacked each other’s records, personal lives and campaigns during the first runoff debate Tuesday night, 11 days before the Nov. 21 election.

Louisiana Public Broadcasting hosted and moderators questioned candidates before candidates questioned one another on every issue — a format which devolved into shouting toward the end.

“I don’t intend to give anybody 100 percent except for my wife,” Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards said while responding to a question on workforce development.

“You’re not living by the honor code. You’re living by the lawyer code,” Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter said in reference to Edwards’ campaign tactics.

After weeks of negative advertisements from both campaigns, including a recent Edwards ad alleging Vitter chose “prostitutes over patriots” during a congressional vote honoring veterans, the candidates shifted the blame for negative campaigning.

Edwards campaigns “viciously,” Vitter said after dismissing a question about trackers and private investigators, saying he did not directly hire them but others campaign supporters have.

Edwards has said that throughout his campaign he lives by the West Point Cadet Honor Code: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do.”

“Senator, the last part of [the honor code] is I will not tolerate those who do,” Edwards said during an exchange over campaign trackers.

Edwards pointed to a private investigator caught allegedly spying on a sheriff, saying Vitter paid him $156,000 under the guise of legal fees. Vitter said campaign trackers are a political reality.

Edwards attacked Vitter’s record as the “least effective

night,” Korn said. “Having the support of the cast to kind of bring you back down to Earth is really helpful because as an actress you want to put yourself in the shoes of your character, but it can get very dangerous if you forget those shoes aren’t yours.”

As part of the 2015-16 LSU Theatre season, “Good Kids” opens tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The play, written by Naomi Iizuka, tackles sexual assault in a social media climate.

Marketing junior Brandon Dorner had no idea his “How to Seduce Women” class presentation would induce an Internet firestorm, let alone that LSU would take notice.

The video, which featured Dorner standing in front of his CMST 2060 public speaking class giving tips on how to entice women with a blow-up doll next to him, made the rounds on sites like BroBible and Jezebel before it was taken down from YouTube at the university’s request.

Dorner said the assignment, which he received a B- for, required students to give a demonstrative speech for five minutes in front of the class.

“It all started with me and my roommates joking that it would be funny if I had done my speech on that,” Dorner said. “I then realized this topic would get the class laughing and let them realize that tough classes like speech didn’t have to be a painful experience. So I went with it.”

While BroBible praised the presentation, Jezebel lampooned it, calling it sexist. Dorner said his intentions were not to demean, but to make the assignment enjoyable.

“The whole idea for the presentation was meant to be a satire of people who actually try to seduce women like this,” Dorner said. “So I thought of date scenarios and imagined some things that would get laughs because they would never actually work.”

Despite what he deems a misunderstanding of his intentions, Dorner said the video amused most people, which is ultimately what he wanted.

He said some in the media are misconstruing his intentions for the presentation, but he isn’t letting the critics get to him.

“This speech is making fun of people who actually think like this ,and I’m not upset about the people writing negative articles about me because I don’t actually believe these things,” Dorner said.

LSU System faculty researches Alzheimer’s Disease

BY JOSHUA JACKSON @Joshua_Jackson_ Though November is the designated National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month since 1983, medical professionals and faculty in the LSU System work every day to research treatments for the disease, which has no known cure.

A reported 5.3 million Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and an estimated 5.1 million

of them are over the age of 65, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Owen Carmichael, director of biomedical imaging at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, researches the relationship between the disease and vascular and cognitive health.

He said those who enter their older years with hypertension, diabetes and other heart conditions are at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s Disease. He hopes to reduce the

chance for Alzheimer’s by treating these vascular afflictions.

“Those things are treatable right now, and Alzheimer’s isn’t,” Carmichael said. “If the two have a strong enough connection, we can make progress in searching for a cure.”

While there may be a tie between Alzheimer’s and heart conditions, Carmichael said it’s also possible for someone to be genetically predisposed to the disease and the Alzheimer’s could trigger the heart conditions. But there is also a possibility the two aren’t connected but run parallel to each other, Carmichael said.

The LSU System’s Alzheimer’s experts often collaborate, he said.

Carmichael and Jeffrey Keller, director of the Institute for Dementia Research and Prevention at Pennington, often work together, as Keller’s expertise lies in drug trials and testing for Dementia and Alzheimer’s and Carmichael specializes in brain imaging. Together, they determine if certain Alzheimer’s drugs have an effect on the brain.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s include more than simple memory loss and confusion. Other symptoms such as mood changes, withdrawal from social activities and difficulty completing tasks are common among patients. As

these symptoms and more are discovered, Carmichael said the number of Alzheimer’s cases has increased.

“The number of cases in the year 2000 was about 5 million and the number of cases in 2050 is projected to be 25 million,” Carmichael said. “Those numbers go up and down over time, but the rough estimate stays the same.”

Despite the amount of ongoing research, Carmichael said there isn’t enough funding for the LSU Systems to make large steps forward. Universities such as LSU and Michigan State University are at a disadvantage because they do not have endowments like those held by Harvard University and The Mayo Clinic.

Carmichael said there are a few ways to acquire more funding for more research, such as garnering support from Louisiana state senators and the families of Alzheimer’s patients.

“Alzheimer’s is more of a societal disease,” Carmichael said.

“It really affects a larger amount of people than the more than 5 million cases we have now.”

He said LSU does a good job of supporting its researchers, but he would like to see an Alzheimer’s research facility created in the LSU System.

Edwards said LSU was on the brink of bankruptcy last year, and the state needs to adequately finance its priorities. State funding for higher education in the past eight years has decreased more than any other state, Edwards said, while tuition has increased EDWARDS drastically.

The LSU administration contacted Dorner after the video made waves and told him to take it down. Though he didn’t necessarily agree with taking his video down, Dorner said he understood the university’s reasoning and didn’t fight it.

On his Twitter feed, Dorner’s followers are clamoring for him to put the video back up, but he said he doesn’t think it will ever see the light of day again.

“I think most people will forget about it all in a week or so anyway,” Dorner said.

Nutrition junior Jaci Soileau, who was in class when Dorner gave his speech, said she was shocked.

“He’s like a really quiet guy in class, so it was very surprising,” Soileau said. “Especially when he brought up the blow-up doll. I

never even heard him talk before, and then he pulls that.”

After the initial shock, Soileau said she found the speech funny and inoffensive and doesn’t believe it was necessary for the university to request that the video be taken down.

Soileau said that this particular CMST 2060 section is close, and everyone, including the professor, jokes around in this way.

Understanding the dynamic of the classroom is important in determining whether or not the presentation was offensive, she said.

“If you took it literally, it was obviously pretty sexist,” Soileau said. “But he was just joking, so I didn’t find it offensive at all. He’s a nice guy. At the end of the speech he was like ‘that’s not really how you get women’ because he was scared that people would think it was offensive.”

BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR (SO FAR): The New Orleans Saints’ 52-49 triumph against the New York Giants is the only worthy winner. Drew Brees and Eli Manning combined for more than 850 yards passing and 13 touchdowns in one game. The teams combined for 1,024 yards of offense while both defenses were MIA. There were so many touchdowns I think Odell Beckham Jr. was tired of dancing by the time he caught his third touchdown of the game.

LSU receives underdog status with Leak and Rodriguez out for season

BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR The LSU volleyball team must have crossed too many black cats, spilled salt and broken mirrors over the summer based on the bad luck it has had this season.

Not a single month goes by without a starter seeking medical attention thus far.

First, junior middle blocker Khourtni Fears’ comeback from a torn ACL in her left knee ended before it even started, as she tore her ACL and MCL in her right knee two days before the season opener.

Then, freshman middle blocker Toni Rodriguez, who redshirted last year and developed into an important

starter this season, tore her right ACL while getting extra reps during practice Oct. 24, the day before LSU’s home matchup against the Auburn University.

In the most recent case, senior outside hitter Cati Leak dislocated her ankle and broke all three bones less than 11 minutes before the Tigers’ away game against then-No. 20 University of Kentucky, according to The AdvertiserGleam. The injury marked the end of her LSU volleyball career.

While Fears, Rodriguez and Leak’s contributions will be limited to vocal support on the sideline, the team remains optimistic.

“We are now going to be

the underdog in most matches and have the opportunity to go in and ruin people’s seasons,” said freshman middle blocker Brittany Welsh. “We have also become even closer. No one else knows what we’re going through.”

Every injury was a surprise for LSU coach Fran Flory, but Leak’s brought the biggest loss. The former AllSEC player just became the sixth player in school history to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs and provided important stability on the court.

“We lost a great deal of leadership and experience,” Flory said. “At one point last night [against the University of Missouri], we had three freshmen in the front row, with

[freshman defensive specialist] Katie Kampen, Brittany Welsh and [freshman setter] Lindsay Flory all blocking at the same time. The good thing is we get great experience for the future, the hard thing right now is that kids are having to grow up faster than they probably need or want to.”

The team lost much of its offensive rhythm with Leak being one of their go-to outside hitters. Flory said she feels forced to make changes and experiment by putting players in positions they normally are not used to playing.

In their most recent home game against Missouri, Fran

Scandals loom over first runoff debate between Vitter, Edwards Beyer’s Remorse Michael Beyer Columnist

Sen. David Vitter’s, R-La., ghosts lurked at Tuesday’s debate, even though Halloween has come and gone.

The runoff election should be a referendum on President Barack Obama, if Vitter got his way. But the narrative is spiraling out of control and turning out to be the senator’s scandals.

Instead of controlling the message, Vitter is on the defensive involving questions over his sex scandal after Rep. John Bel Edwards’, D-Amite, ad claimed Vitter put “prostitutes over patriots.” His latest ad, “Hard Times,” recently changed to “Difficult Times,” tries to recast his sex scandal as a story of redemption.

Before the first debate in the runoff for governor, Vitter’s campaign left more questions about his campaign involving ethics and personality, rather than policy.

Questions remain after “spygate,” where Vitter’s hired private investigator was caught spying on the Jefferson Parish sheriff and others having coffee at Royal Blend Coffee and Tea House in Metairie the day before the primary election.

The Jefferson Parish police arrested Robert Frenzel, Vitter’s private investigator, and found a recording showing an individual who was a potential witness to discredit former sex worker Wendy Ellis, who claimed she had a sexual relationship with Vitter.

Sheriff Newell Normand sheriff of Jefferson Parish, unveiled Vitter’s campaign manager is under FBI investigation for

the scandal.

In Tuesday’s debate on Louisiana Public Broadcasting stations, Vitter tried to reframe the election as an ideological choice, calling the idea Edwards’ campaign was built upon the “myth that he is a conservative.”

Throughout Edwards called attention to Vitter’s scandals.

According to The News Star of Monroe, he said, “Part of the code is not tolerating those who do (lie, cheat, steal),” Edwards said. “You’re a liar and a cheater.”

Vitter shot back, calling him “holier than thou.”

Even during the issue of workforce development segment, Edwards reused a line he first debuted at the Baton Rouge Press Club this week to explain his low ratings on the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry scorecard. “I don’t try to give 100 percent to anyone other

Edwards brought notable blows throughout the night. “If that’s [prostitution ad] a low blow, that’s only because that’s where you live.”

Even his closing statement, Edwards said, “I will never embarrass you,” casting the election as a referendum on the

candidate’s characters.

There were many important issues covered during the debate — health care, the budget, infrastructure and others. But if Vitter is elected, he may not only deal with these issues — he will also battle the FBI. When policy questions became too specific for Vitter, he referred viewers to his many websites. Edwards gave voters specifics and encouraged viewers to watch Sheriff Normand’s press conference on Tuesday.

You could see Vitter checking his notes and sweating at the debate last night.

Can he escape his scandals and limp into the governor’s office? Or will his house of cards fall?

Before you toss your salad, it’s important to understand the risks involved. People performing rim jobs are still prone to sexually

Dennis Fortenberry, a professor at Indiana University School of Medicine, said people can transmit STIs via rim jobs. The anus or rectum might not be infected, but that area is “part of the skin that connects the entire genital area, and some of those organisms may be simply moving around.” Dr. Fortenberry said.

There are a couple of guys who have put up great numbers this year, like Andy Dalton, but their accomplishments pale in comparison to Brady’s. Brady’s thrown 2,709 yards and 22 touchdowns against just two interceptions. An 11-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio is pretty good.

The underclassmen said it’s easy to welcome added pressure with open arms when playing with such resilient and supportive teammates and are ready for the increased playing time.

“They have dealt with this adversity really, really well and I’m super proud of them,” Fran said. “There are many teams that — specifically in the Kentucky match — would’ve shut down and not given any effort. The fact that we had already overcome so much adversity over the season makes it just another unfortunate step for them. I’m super, super proud of how they responded.”

LSU hopes to even series against Arkansas with youthful lineup

BY MARKUS HÜFNER @Hufner_TDR The LSU volleyball team hopes to snap its three game losing streak at 7 p.m. on Wednesday on the road against the University of Arkansas, while relying on its B-squad starting line up.

Much changed since the last time the Tigers (9-14, 5-7 Southeastern Conference) faced the Razorbacks (15-9, 5-7 SEC) in late September.

The matchup marks the third game LSU is forced to play without senior outside hitter Cati Leak and the fifth without freshman middle blocker Toni Rodriguez. Both finished with double-digit kills when Arkansas edged out the Tigers in five sets.

Sophomore outside hitter Gina Tillis is day-to-day after tweaking an ankle against the University of Kentucky on Nov. 1. Although LSU will play with four starters on the sideline, the players and said they coaches still don’t think the Razorbacks expect an easy win.

“We already proved that we’re going to play hard regardless,” said LSU coach Fran Flory. “Arkansas might have a tendency to overlook us a little bit, but every team and every coach respects each other in this league and knows that on any given night things can happen.”

LSU’s game plan focuses on the defensive side of the

Flory said she wants to extend rallies and gain opportunities, but the question mark on the offensive rhythm, which has been a challenge since the start of the season, remains with the injuries.

“The question is where we are going to get kills and who’s going to finish plays for us,” Flory said.

“As we keep going, we’ll see who will step up in that role.”

The Tigers are focusing on blocking in practice to prepare for Arkansas’ physical offense.

When the Razorbacks visited LSU for both team’s SEC season opener, Arkansas junior outside

hitter Pilar Victoria became the fourth player in school history to finish a conference game with 30 kills.

But the freshmen, who have more opportunities to play and showcase their skills in the last stretch of the season due to the Tigers’ injuries, are excited to step up to suppress Victoria and the Razorbacks.

“I’m expecting Arkansas to enter the game as excited and ready to play as we are,” said freshman middle blocker Brittany Welsh. “Last time the game ended in five, so we should be able to go in and do some damage.”

“Good Kids” is based on the 2012 Steubenville High School rape case in Ohio, where a 16-year-old girl incapacitated by alcohol was raped by her peers, including two football players.

Set in a high school in the American Midwest, the play centers on Chloe. Undressed and in a strange place, Chloe

wakes up, unable to remember anything about the event.

Later, she discovers the football players chronicled themselves assaulting her via social media, leading to the public aftermath of the incident. Similarly to the Steubenville case, the football players also chronicled their assault through social media.

Korn said she often becomes emotionally attached to her -----------------------------------------------------------

‘GOOD KIDS’, from page 1

The Daily Reveille

characters after playing them, studying them and falling in love with them. This particular character is even more demanding for Korn because Chloe, though fictitious, is based on a real-life victim.

“This is a person who actually went through this,” Korn said. “That’s terrifying and brutal.”

Before auditions started for “Good Kids,” Korn said she decided to get involved. She researched as much about the Steubenville case as she could, reading articles and watching YouTube videos.

Now in the role, Korn said her process for playing Chloe evolved into something intimate and personal.

“I try to get into that mindset of being full of possibility because that makes the fall so much harder and hopefully more truthful to the audience,” Korn said. “Look at this joy, this ball of light, this innocence, and so quickly that flame is muffled,”

page 7 she said.

After the show, Korn has trouble getting out of Chloe’s mindspace. She said she needs to touch base with someone else in the production to bring her back to reality before going home.

Korn said what makes it even harder to get out of character after the show is that the actors’ baby pictures are used at the end to contrast other pictures of the cast grown up.

Seeing that contrast is an emotional process, Korn said.

Director Rick Holden said “Good Kids” is draining not only for the actors, but for him as well.

“I know we’re not unique on LSU’s campus in this way, but we work with our students

closely, particularly when you’ve got actors working every day. I really think I understand them,” Holden said. “You’ve got to fall in love with them and care about them, so imagining that Laine was undergoing this breaks your heart.”

Holden said there are lighter moments in the play. Without those moments, Holden said the audience would be consistently depressed throughout the show.

Because the cast of “Good Kids” is exclusively LSU students, Holden said the play is even more important to the campus.

“We thought it would be great to put a spotlight on this issue and tell the story as best we could,” Holden said.

“Good Kids” closes Nov. 22.
