MOVING FORWARD

BY BETH CARTER @bethie_carter University students decided to move “Forward” on Wednesday as presidential candidate Zack Faircloth and vice presidential candidate Lindsey Landry won the 2016 spring Student Government election with almost 60 percent of the votes.

Amid erupting cheers from “Forward” supporters, commissioner of elections Jacob Scott announced the results Wednesday at the Live Oak Lounge in the

Student Union.

The “Forward” campaign also snagged nine college presidential spots. Presidential candidates from the “Restart” campaign claimed victory for the Manship School of Mass Communication, the College of Music and Dramatic Arts and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Because there were no candidates for either president or vice president for the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, those seats remain open.

STUDENT LIFE

Students to compete in concrete canoe competition

BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano

After four months and more than 2,000 labor hours, the University chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is ready to row.

The organization’s team is competing in a series of concrete canoe races this weekend as part of the ASCE Deep South Regional Conference at McNeese State University. The conference features men’s and women’s sprint and endurance

races, as well as a co-ed sprint to cap off the competition.

Concrete canoe captain Amy Olson, a civil engineering senior, said the conference focuses on bringing civil engineers together for friendly competition. The University’s ASCE chapter has been competing in the regional conference for over a decade.

“I’m excited,” Olson said.

“I’m hoping that we’ll go out there and give it our best, and hopefully we’ll place in the top three.”

The team began preparation in November, hosting a team design workshop to brainstorm the canoe’s structure and the concrete mix’s design. The team then acquired support from the Louisiana Transportation Research Center and six local engineering companies to execute its design.

Team members used LTRC lab space to test sample batches of various concrete mix designs before settling on the

The canoe’s concrete mix includes an aggregate with a density lighter than water’s, allowing the canoe to float with additional buoyancy provided by styrofoam end caps, Olson said. Aggregates are fillers which influence the properties and performance of concrete mixes.

Aside from the race itself, the team is judged on a formal canoe display, design paper and oral presentation, Olson said.

While the team has placed well in the race component in recent years, ASCE faculty adviser Michele Barbato, associate professor of civil engineering, said it has lost points in other categories. He said Olson’s reorganization of this year’s team will hopefully boost the score in the oral presentation, display and design

paper components.

Olson and Barbato agreed time has also been a challenge for the team in this year’s competition. Aside from the struggle of accommodating students’ schedules, the team worked on an accelerated project schedule because of a late start and an earlier conference date.

Working with concrete also forces the students to work on a condensed time schedule, Barbato said. It takes concrete 28 days to fully cure, and

ensuring enough time existed for the canoe to cure before testing the canoe’s performance in the water was critical, he said.

Regardless of a win, Olson said the conference is a great place to learn from other civil engineers.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Olson said. “Just to be around a lot of other civil engineers that have been working on the same project. They may have done things you didn’t even think about.”

FORWARD, from page 1

we had really great initiatives that hopefully will be able to live on somehow,” Gore said.

Faircloth and Landry said they plan to hit the ground running with their new administration, starting with campaigning for the candidates in the runoff elections.

Landry said their main goal for the immediate future is getting their candidates elected. Active campaigning for runoff elections begins Thursday.

The “Forward” candidates ran on initiatives they promised could be implemented immediately after they took office, such as redesigning the LSU app, making Scantrons more accessible on campus and establishing an SG presence at the state Capitol, and Faircloth said that’s what he and Landry plan to do.

“It’s time to make our initiatives a reality ... and start meeting with administrators,” Faircloth said. “There were a lot of great ideas, but they were spread across campus. Now we’ve consolidated them into one great ticket.”

Faircloth and Landry both agree their campaign’s biggest accomplishment was connecting students through their ticket and said they hope to continue to reach out to students during their administration.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences will have a runoff Monday between Christian Ledet from “Forward” and Amelia Fertitta from “Restart” for its presidential seat.

This election season featured more than 200 candidates, including students from the Law Center — a first in SG election history.

The election had a record-breaking voter turnout with more than 10,000 students casting ballots.

“Restart” vice presidential candidate Louis Gremillion said although he is disappointed with the loss, he is optimistic for the future of SG. “Students decided to move ‘Forward,’ so that’s what we’re going to do,” he said. “We’re going to hold Zack and Lindsey accountable ... and we hope we can be instrumental in the work they accomplish.”

“Restart” campaign manager Wesley Gore said he believed his ticket accomplished a lot during the election season and was proud of Gremillion and presidential candidate Kendra Davis.

“I think that we showed a lot of problems that, systemically, are wrong with Student Government ... and I think, at the end of the day,

BEYOND the beam

As a substitute on beam and floor, Clark said a young athlete can become frustrated and an energy drag.

But not Gauthier, she embraced her role the day she first walked onto campus and strives to help the team every day.

“There’s a lot of places she could have gone and been on full scholarship and competed in [every event], but she made a choice to come to a program where there’s an awful lot of talent,” Clark said.

EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille

LSU senior gymnast Michelle Gauthier is not just a back up for the Tigers, but a strong leader.

Dismounting from the apparatus after a near perfect beam set in the new LSU Gymnastics Training Facility, Michelle Gauthier still isn’t satisfied.

The Mandeville native senior climbs back on the four-feet high, four-inch wide beam and repeats her routine until each skill is perfect.

“She is such a hard worker, and she puts 200 percent into everything that she does,” said senior all-arounder

Jessica Savona. “She’ll go up on each event, and if it’s not done to her best abilities, she’s going to keep going until it’s acceptable.”

“You’ll always see me going again and again and again,” Gauthier said. “That’s just because I know I need to push my team to get better.”

The walk-on, who was honored at LSU’s Senior Night on Friday, doesn’t have the nationally recognized name that All-American teammates Ashleigh Gnat and Myia Hambrick do, but her coaches mutually agree she’s just

as impactful.

LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux said Gauthier has a large responsibility as the primary backup in two events. Breaux says she can always count on Gauthier putting together a complete routine in pressure situations with the least amount of meetday preparation.

Serving as the Tigers’ pacesetter in practice, associate head coach Jay Clark said Gauthier’s intense work ethic to improve with every repetition paints her as the wmodel teammate.

BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR Following an 8-4 elimination loss to TCU in last season’s College World Series, LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri came to a sobering realization.

On top of his 54-win team falling short on the biggest stage, Mainieri went into the offseason needing to remodel the Tigers’ lineup, including finding a replacement for the critical piece to much of the team’s success.

“I just don’t even want to think about life without Alex Bregman,” Mainieri said after the June 18 defeat in Omaha, Nebraska.

The former LSU shortstop and No. 2 overall draft pick highlighted the plethora of veterans expected to compete for the program’s seventh national championship. Despite a veteran pitching staff, many fans held guarded expectations going into this year, and Mainieri was most anxious about his infield.

Fast forward to early March — 12 games into the 2016 season — and Mainieri has found some chemistry amongst his front-line fielders, flashing abilities to make both the routine and spectacular play.

Finding replacements for the three other infield positions was just as important as finding Bregman’s successor. By now, the opening night infield has been reshuffled and altered to what is now the current starting four.

Although sophomore infielder Bryce Jordan, who is recovering from an ankle injury, has split time with sophomore Greg Deichmann at first base, Jordan has been errorless in six starts at first base, demonstrating a capability to leap for errant throws and apply tags.

After not starting in the first two games of the season, freshman O’Neal Lochridge has established himself as the everyday third baseman and provides power near the bottom of the lineup, homering twice while recording the secondmost RBIs on the team.

Junior Kramer Robertson’s return to his high school position, shortstop, and junior Cole Freeman’s final move to second base, rounded out Mainieri’s infield experiments in the nonconference slate.

The trial runs with Robertson and Freeman have paid off as

Electric Ensembles

Founded in 2012, BUKU Music + Art Project is now a New Orleans staple. This year’s festival on March 11-12 boasts the varied lineup fans are used to.

One of the most important parts of a music festival is what you wear. You want to be comfortable above all, but you have to look good, too.

Here are a few BUKU essentials so you look good for Future and Fetty Wap:

BY KAYLA RANDALL | @kay_ran21

PHOTOS BY JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ

WOMEN Tank Top

Crop Top

There’s nothing cuter than a tank top tucked into some jean shorts for a stylish festival look. It’s going to be humid and rainy, so it’s best to dress like it’s summertime and not get your best, most expensive clothing wet. There’s plenty of options, too: you could go with a plain solid color tank, one with patterns or a tank with a graphic on it. Of course, men can wear tank tops too, but let’s be real, women rock them the best.

If you’re not into tank tops, a crop top is a perfect alternative. These trendy tops are always welcome at a music festival. Crop tops, whether long or short sleeved, are lightweight so you won’t feel disgustingly hot. With your trendy and coordinated ensemble, it’ll look like you put actual effort into your ensemble because god knows what some other festival goers will be wearing.

MEN Henley Top Guys look good in Henley or Henleyadjacent tops.

That’s just a fact of life. While it may be muggy, you can still pull off a good Henley-like shirt at BUKU. If a longsleeved shirt would be too warm, go with a short sleeve one.

MEN & WOMEN Shades Sunglasses are a way of life, and aviators are the way to go.

They look slick and chic and bump you up on the style meter.

Bonus points for colored lenses.

Jeans or jean shorts For a festival, you can’t go wrong with either. Basically every top goes with jeans or jean shorts, so why even consider other bottoms?

T-shirts

Raincoat

There’s nothing more comfortable than a classic tee.

Whether plain or full of color, tees are for everyone. Better yet, go with one of the band or artist you came to see on it.

This is Louisiana we’re talking about.

You should never be without a raincoat.

Since umbrellas can be a hassle and easy to forget places, bring a raincoat to slip over your clothes if it starts spontaneously pouring, which is highly likely in Louisiana.

Comfortable shoes You’ll want to wear comfortable shoes that you’re willing to get wet and ruined.

Now is not the time to experiment with fancy footwear. In fact, looking at the forecast, you might just need some rainboots.

HITS & MISSES

Here is a cheat sheet for the hits and misses of the 63 artist lineup at this weekend’s BUKU Music + Art Project.

BY ALLIE COBB | @alliecobbler

SKIP

SEE KID CUDI

FETTY WAP Fetty Wap rose to fame in 2015 following the release of his breakout single “Trap Queen.”

The rapper is a hot new artist on the rise and will perform Friday from 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. on the Float Den stage.

Kid Cudi first received major recognition in 2008 after releasing his mixtape, “A Kid Named Cudi.” The artist brings music to new heights and allows his listeners to really get to know him. He is set to perform Friday from 9:45 to 11 p.m. on the Power Plant stage.

FUTURE This year, Future became the fastest artist to chart three number-one albums on the Billboard 200. A versatile artist, he captivates audiences with catchy hooks and melodies. He will perform Saturday from 6 to 7 p.m. on the Power Plant stage.

WHAT SO NOT

KTRL. KTRL., a bass house duo, seriously lacks a social media presence, and it’s unlikely BUKU will drastically heighten their fame. If they were given a later performance time, their chances would have been better. They will be performing from 3 to 3:45 p.m. on Friday on the Back Alley stage.

Unlike the other acts, What So Not lacks a biography and track listings on the BUKU app. He released his latest EP in December 2015, but appears to have a much larger following in Australia than he will at BUKU. What So Not will perform on the Float Den stage Saturday from 5 to 6:15 p.m.

TRISTAN DUFRENE Dunfrene is an artist on the rise, but one who has mainly performed only in music venues and parties in New Orleans. She will be performing Friday from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. on the Back Alley stage.

Minority groups oppressing people, using violence for own gain LOGIC DICTATES, CAPTAIN GARRETT MARCEL @Gret419 Certain minority groups around the country use oppressive methods to get what they want, and the government needs to protect their targets.

Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, recently filed a bill known as the “Pastor Protection Act” to protect religious organizations and their employees from having to perform marriages that go against their religious beliefs.

This bill also allows them to deny goods and services to that marriage.

It needs to go further to mirror Georgia’s proposed law, which would allow businesses to refuse services based on their religious views of marriage.

Martin Luther King, Jr. brought about change the constitutionally correct way. He and his followers peacefully marched

and protested for change, and they were successful. Why can’t groups today do the same?

The answer is obvious. They only care about themselves. Bakeries around the country are sued because of their religious freedom, riots sprung in Ferguson, Missouri, after an officer protected himself and nude people paraded and called it gay pride.

Terrible people in this country wrongfully oppress certain groups and are condemned for it.

Everyone has the right to do what they want and be what they want without persecution if it does not harm others.

Rioting and persecuting people for their religious beliefs are not the actions of normal, mentally stable humans who want “rights.” We need to stop holding people’s hands to make them feel better and tell them to write a book if they have a problem.

People are always going to hate others for one reason or another, so forcing them to accept each other will likely make

matters worse. People in the private sector should have the right to refuse service to whomever they chose. The government doesn’t need to tell business owners who they can or can’t serve because the general public will do it much more effectively.

People won’t go to businesses that discriminate against others, and they’ll righteously smear the names of discriminatory businesses. Business owners will

likely shut down because of this, and justice is a better reward for minorities than oppressing people’s right to freedom of speech.

Judges are corrupt all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The government needs to protect people’s rights by staying out of marriage, only guaranteeing the service of the public sector to everyone and sticking with the constitutional rights.

If the federal government

continuously refuses to protect everyone’s rights, then it is up to every state to do so. Louisiana needs to protect those the feds refuse to protect.

These minority groups are full of good people, but unfortunately the terrible members are not condemned and punished. Peaceful rights’ advocates such as King or Mahatma Gandhi and other peaceful rights’ advocates would turn over in their grave if they saw today’s groups.

I hope minority “rights” groups are happy with themselves because everyone else thinks they resemble the very things that oppress them.

The groups today resemble the Klu Klux Klan and Nazi party.

Both held obscene parades, used violence to bring about change and took the money of the oppressed. What’s the difference between them and today’s groups?

United States needs to end lifetime careers in politics MADE YOU THINK

CHARLIE BONACQUISTI @Charlie_Bonac2 We need to establish congressional term limits at the federal level.

The 2016 presidential race is the anti-politician election. People don’t want established career politicians because they consider them corrupt and complacent, which is why Donald Trump is surging on the Republican side.

Freshmen politicians are eager and excited to represent their constituents. They come in with plans to fix the economy, create jobs, combat inequality and address all the other ideas they presented on the campaign trail.

However, their initial excitement fades quickly because Washington rewards seniority over ideas.

In 1995, Louisiana created term limits for its legislators.

They couldn’t serve more than 12 consecutive years in office. They felt the effects of term limits in 2007 when the first few members reached their 12-year limit.

According to NOLA.com | The Times Picayune, Louisiana enacted term limits to boost both excitement and fresh ideas in Congress, and they wanted to fight against career politicians.

Government positions are not replacements for other careers.

Public officials must relate to their constituents, and the only way this can happen is if they have a life outside politics in the private sector. Politicians, please get a life.

Our Founding Fathers made their support for term limits clear in the Articles of Confederation.

Article V stated “no person shall be capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any term of six years.”

They didn’t include this clause in the finalized Constitution, but our Founders clearly didn’t consider Congress to be a life-long position. In fact, Congressmen stayed in their home states for most of the year.

Those who argue against term limits say Congress members need experience. This idea sounds great in theory. Legislators who stay in Washington indefinitely can become more knowledgeable

on different topics.

However, the federal government gives them the tools they need to make informed decisions quickly. Specifically, they have the Congressional Research Service, which does the research for the politicians when particular topics come up on the floor that are outside their area of expertise. Staying a lifetime in Washington is irrelevant when they can get the information in a matter of minutes.

Term limits wouldn’t change Congress’ ability to govern. Our presidents have term limits, and America has lasted this long.

Pres. George Washington set the two-term precedent when he refused a third term. Are our members of Congress saying they’re better than Washington?

Aside from Louisiana, 14 other states have term limits. These states don’t force all members of Congress to leave during every election, so the returning legislators can help the newbies. Freshmen politicians would learn the ropes by their second or third term.

Our government needs term limits in order to focus on

serving the people instead of worrying about reelection. Of course, politicians don’t want to pass term limits. They don’t want to limit their power, and passing them is similar to firing yourself from your own job. But the time to limit

terms has come, Washington. Bite the bullet and fix this problem for good.

used it.”

Adding to her resume, Gauthier is the head of the gymnastics team’s community service push and co-representative, with junior all-arounder Sydney Ewing, for the Student Athlete Committee.

Breaux added that Gauthier’s grades are never wavering. The kinesiology senior is a three-time Academic All-American and won the Wally Pontiff, Jr. Academic Excellence Award for the 20142015 school year for third-year student-athletes who have a 3.9 or higher GPA. Making the beam lineup five times this season, Gauthier helped LSU record its three highest beam scores this season, including a nation-leading 49.575 against No. 2 Florida on Feb. 26.

Her most memorable performance came against No. 8 Arkansas on Feb. 5 when she recorded a career-high 9.875 beam score.

“My whole team was running with their arms wide open,” Gauthier said. “[Ewing] was the first one to give me a hug, I [said], ‘You’re next. You not only have to go, you’re next!’ I had my team’s support; I could feel their positive energy. Having them behind me and having such a great team motivated me to do well.”

Clark said Gauthier drives the competitive environment in practice, which pushes the rest of the team to improve, and, ultimately, translates to the third-ranked Tigers’ success.

“She really is a joy to have on our team,” Clark said. “It may not always show up on a box score, but I promise you when she’s gone it will leave a hole that we’ve got to fill.”

BASEBALL, from page 3 Mainieri believes Freeman is playing second base as well as Robertson was in the first seven games.

While Freeman and Robertson have showed their range as a tandem in the middle, sprinting over and snagging balls appearing to be base hits, the simple catch and throw is still the most important, Freeman said.

“We understand we got to make the routine plays and how big they really are,” Freeman said.

While Jordan’s status for this weekend’s series against Ball State remains unclear, Mainieri has no concern about him reheating his bat, sitting on a four-game hit streak and a .344 batting average.

“The thing about [sophomore left fielder] Beau [Jordan] and Bryce is they just love to compete,” Mainieri said. “So, when you love to compete, you’re not into making excuses or anything like that.

They’re going to be ready to go.”
