JOURNEYING JEWELER University student begins jewelry company to fund travels

BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker Those looking for more optimism, patience, strength, joy, balance or mental clarity in their lives should look no further than NeedBeads.

Psychology senior Diana Rose began selling her handmade bracelets, NeedBeads, on Etsy in July 2015. Each bracelet is named after a particular value and serves as a reminder to the wearer of the qualities they think they need.

Rose began NeedBeads to financially support her 10-day mission trip to Lima, Peru this summer with Justifi, a Jewish

social justice organization. Justifi’s social activism program focuses on service work in impoverished countries, leadership training and making a difference within the world.

“Making jewelry has always been my favorite hobby,” Rose said. “So instead of asking for donations, I decided to sell bracelets.”

With NeedBeads, Rose made $1,300 in profit — $300 over her $1,000 goal. Rose came up with the idea for each bracelet containing a singular philosophy after her trip to Greece last summer with LeadAbroad.

Rose said she bought beads while

abroad to make a bracelet that would remind her of how big the world is, which can now be found in her shop as her “See the world” bracelet.

She realized she could use the same premise to make bracelets for other people with a variety of priorities and qualities to choose from. Rose said with naming each bracelet, she considers aesthetic first, then does research on what each gemstone actually represents.

While in Peru, Rose’s philanthropic projects will include service in povertystricken areas, reducing the high amount

GET B U DHIGHER EDUCATION CUTS

Students rally at Capitol against cuts

BY SAM KARLIN @samkarlin_TDR As lawmakers tackle a $900 million plus mid-year shortfall, thousands of students, faculty and administrators from throughout the state shared the Capitol steps Wednesday with the governor and a host of legislators to gather for full funding of higher education.

The rally, which initially felt more like a party than a cry for policy changes, included a disc jockey, marching band, cheerleaders and mascots as each school bussed students, some from hours away, to Baton Rouge to flood the statehouse.

But students, administrators and legislators took to the podium and decried the current proposed cuts to higher education, giving lofty and sobering remarks urging lawmakers to work across party lines to find solutions.

Each higher education system president gave a short speech, recalling eight years of continuous cuts to college and university budgets. LSU President F. King Alexander, who has vocally lambasted

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Davis, Gremillion focus campaign on ‘People, Not Politics’

BY BETH CARTER @bethie_carter Editor’s Note: This is the first in a two-part series highlighting registered campaigns in the Student Government presidential election. Their publication order in The Daily Reveille is determined alphabetically, by the last name of the presidential candidate.

Kendra Davis wants to make the University feel like home for all students, and she wants Student Government to be active in that process.

She and her running mate, Louis Gremillion, feel that SG does not do all it should to

represent all student voices.

Their campaign slogan, “Restart: People, Not Politics,” represents their desire to be a voice for all of the University.

Between them, the two have served on every branch of SG and believe this involvement and their relationships with other campus groups make them qualified to speak on behalf of different types of students.

“Student Government needs leaders who will put students first,” Gremillion said. “Student Government needs to be an organization that represents the rich diversity and talents that LSU has to offer.”

Davis and Gremillion met

in high school through student council but lost touch when they got to the University. They say this campaign has brought their friendship closer together as they realize how important it is to bridge the gap between students across campus.

The two said “Restart” aims to break the cycle of what they call a “never-ending campaign season” in SG. “As soon as a campaign gets elected … it shifts to ‘who’s next?’ and ‘whose campaign can I be on next?’” Gremillion said.

Davis said the campaign’s goals will make SG more

“I’m Jewish, and I see all the time people doing Christian mission trips, and then I found out about this one through other Jewish friends that have been,” Rose said. “I’ve always wanted to do one, and it’s like ‘okay, there’s one made for me.’”

Justifi takes 10-20 participants on each trip. The program promotes Jewish

principles, especially living out “Tikkun Olam,” or building a better world.

“The atmosphere that’s created and the way that they go about things is based on Jewish values, so that makes it approachable and cool and very comfortable for me,” she said.

In the fall, Rose will study at the University of Texas for her master’s degree in social work.

Travel is a passion and priority for the Baton Rouge native.

Rose travels across the country nearly every other weekend, visiting friends in places like Wisconsin, Missouri, New York and Atlanta.

The entrepreneur also works part-time at Merci Beaucoup, an independent clothing and accessories boutique.

Through NeedBeads, Rose said she has become more business-savvy and conscious of supply and demand. With social media, she’s been able to market and develop her brand.

“I had to adjust my idea of how to make nothing into something successful,” she said.

Friends, family and locals have been Rose’s primary customer base, with the occasional out-of-state orders. Her jewelry is a popular gifting item among her consumers, she said.

“It turned out exactly how I wanted it to,” the business owner said.

The bracelets are $14 each and are currently available in 12 different styles.

“It’s not just us committed to the cause,” Gremillion said. “We’ve built relationships with administrators who are committed as well.”

One of the initiatives seeks

to redesign SG’s delegate system. Currently, a member of a student organization can be a delegate for that group only if they are also a member of SG. “Restart” wants to change the policy so that any member of the organization can be a delegate.

“We feel like delegates should be members from all across campus that have a voice in Student Government,” Davis said.

The campaign is working on an initiative called “Being Unapologetically Me,” aimed toward making campus more accepting of the LGBT community. The initiative would analyze the University’s compliance with the Campus Pride Index, which ranks universities in terms of how LGBT-friendly they are.

The campaign is also hoping to work closely with the

Student Health Center to make mental health screenings more accessible to students.

Davis and Gremillion said the state’s budget crisis has affected how they will organize their campaign. During the Feb. 19 student march on the Capitol, Davis spoke about the importance of funding higher education, saying TOPS is the only reason she can afford to come to the University.

The two said their campaign realizes the importance of forming positive relationships with legislators and protecting the state’s future.

While the pair agrees SG benefits the student body, “Restart” wants to ensure that SG is actively trying to include more viewpoints and voices.

“We don’t just talk about this for fun,” Davis said. “Louis and I really care.”

RALLY, from page 1

Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, introduced a concrete solution — a one cent, “clean penny” sales tax increase, which is the cornerstone of Gov. John Bel Edwards’ plan to save the state from financial armageddon. The plan is expected to raise nearly $1 billion in the next year.

Edwards reminded students of his presence at rallies for higher education last year, and said he can now enact meaningful change for schools hit hard by funding reductions during the Jindal years.

But he also maintained that he inherited one of the largest budget deficits in Louisiana history and such change will not be easy.

“We can stop these devastating cuts to higher education,” Edwards said. “But we have to be mindful.

We have the largest budget deficit in our state’s history. So we have to work together because I can’t do this alone.”

Louisiana is among the lowest in the country for state support to higher education, and under the division of administration’s “best case scenario,” requiring tax increases to pass through both houses, higher education would be cut roughly $68 million, including a $26.4 million reduction in TOPS funding, which was absorbed by universities.

Southern University alumnus and state Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge, gave an impassioned speech to the roughly 2,000 students, following Edwards’ and Jennings Republican Rep. Blade Morrish’s remarks.

“The decisions are simple,” James said. “The solutions are easy. We cannot afford to allow millions of dollars to go to out of state corporations and not our classrooms.”

more cuts to universities, again called for an end to the state’s disinvestment in schools.

“We want to see graduation as the number one issue in this state, not incarceration,” Alexander said.

Lady Tigers prepare for Florida faceoff

BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR

a new SHADE Tiger Park renovations keep fans, media in mind

BY MARC STEVENS @Marc_TDR Prior to the 2016 season, Tiger Park was named the best collegiate softball stadium in the United States by flosoftball.com.

The No. 5 LSU softball team ended the 2015 season, 38-5, within the friendly confines of Tiger Park and drew more than 69,000 fans into the stands to watch the Tigers shatter countless program records. But this year, the facility looks a little different after LSU completed improvements begun before hosting the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

During the offseason, Tiger Park underwent further renovations to enhance the fan experience while seamlessly integrating additional media access into the facility’s design, to support the program’s expanding media coverage.

But the largest change was the makeover of the popular outfield berm into the Tiger Park Terrace.

LSU players appreciate the new look, but to some, including freshman utility Elyse Thornhill it is still the same old berm.

“I personally refuse to call it the terrace,” Thornhill said. “It looks nice ... but I still call it the berm. It was cool seeing all the fans sitting on the new benches.”

In the past, parts of the berm were unable to be used by fans to watch the action because the incline was too steep.

The new terrace features multiple levels with stairs in between each and a walkway, which runs from the left field foul pole to nearly dead center field.

Freshman infielder Amber Serrett said it adds to the atmosphere allowing more fans to make Tiger Park a difficult venue for the opposition.

“I was big fan of the berm coming on my visits,” Serrett said.

“I loved it and the way it looked. When it was under construction, I don’t think anyone really knew what it was going to look like.”

The renovation gives space for nearly 1,000 fans to have a better view of the game and allows LSU officials to bring in overflow bleachers, which could be used for high-demand games such as matchups in an NCAA Regional or Super Regional tournament.

After the new Tiger Park opened in 2009, the berm quickly became the go-to for fans with standing room only tickets and University students, who are let in without a designated seat. As Tiger Park’s calling card, the berm was a place for fans to cheer on LSU no matter the weather or the occasion, complete with tents or not.

“It adds flavor to the park,” said freshman athletic training major [LEFT] THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES [RIGHT] WINGATE JONES / The Daily Reveille

Renovations to Tiger Park’s berm [left] such as adding benches and flattening the steep incline have turned it into the Tiger Terrace [right].

After upsetting then No. 24 Tennessee on Sunday, the Lady Tigers will battle Florida for their last home game of the season tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the PMAC. LSU (9-18, 3-11 Southeastern Conference) suffered a 53-45 loss to Florida (20-7, 8-6 SEC) in Gainsville, Florida, on Jan. 17. The Lady Tigers hope to turn things around tonight.

“We are a totally different team than what we were when we played them back in January, and so are they,” said LSU coach Nikki Fargas. “I told our team that we really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Florida poses a threat on both ends of the floor.

Junior forward Alexis Hyder spearheads LSU’s offense with 11.5 points per game. But the Gators aren’t far behind with junior guard Ronni Williams averaging 11.2 points per game. Florida tops the SEC rankings with 79.0 points per game.

Hyder leads the Lady Tigers in rebounds with 7.8 per game. Although Williams equals Hyder’s production on the boards, Florida takes the No. 1 conference rankings in rebounds per game, averaging 37.8 rebounds as a team.

“We’re familiar with how they play ­— their leading scorers, leading rebounders, their go-to players,” said sophomore guard Jenna Deemer. “In practice, I guess we’ll go over a lot of sets and how we’re going to defend.”

As they prepare for the Gators, the Lady Tigers will honor their three seniors — forward Akilah Bethel, guard Anne Pedersen and forward Ann Jones.

The moment is bittersweet for the veterans as they prepare to leave it all on the court tonight.

After having a choice to return to LSU for one more season, Pedersen fought hard with the rest of her team as injuries plagued LSU all season.

Even though her time as a Lady Tiger is almost done, Pedersen said it will always be a part of her life, and she doesn’t regret one minute of this season.

“I came back for the team, and I came back to still be a part of LSU because it’s a big part of my life and I love my teammates and I enjoy my coaches,” Pedersen said.

“You’ve got to take the good with the bad. Every year has been a different experience.”

The Lady Tigers conclude their 2015-16 campaign against South Carolina at 1 p.m. in Columbia, South Carolina, on Sunday.

Fresh Air

NICHOLAS MARTINO / The Daily Reveille

Students enjoy the spring weather in their hammocks on Wednesday at the Quad.

Punxsutawney Phil was right — spring has sprung and it sprang early.

Louisiana never really got around to the winter season this year, and the temperatures will consistently rise over the next few months. To make the most of the warm weather before the humidity fully kicks in, follow this helpful guide of spring activities.

BY ALLIE COBB | @alliecobbler

Soak up rays and readings Taking your studies outside is always a good option. Find a nice tree in the Quad or a peaceful grassy area. You’ll be soaking up the sun while getting your assignments done — a win-win.

Outside learning decreases stress levels, improves health, increases motivation and improves memory.

Take a load off Enoing is a popular activity at LSU. Many students hang their hammocks in the Enchanted Forest near Kirby Smith Hall and the 5 Dining Hall. This is a great way to get some air and enjoy the breeze and blooming flowers — all while in the comfort of your own makeshift bed.

Gear up Pack a basket A picnic is another alternative and also a picturesque date idea. Not only are picnics affordable on a college budget, but they’re just plain fun. Grab a blanket and some snacks and prepare for a wonderful day under the sun.

Many students use bikes to get around campus, but they’re good for more than just transportation. Biking is exhilarating, energizing and allows riders to take advantage of the day.

It burns more calories than walking and is a wonderful way to remain active while enjoying a warm, spring afternoon.

Walk it out

Take a seat

Walking the lakes is especially pleasant during the spring. It’s not too hot and not too cold. The trees are budding, the grass is regaining its color and the southern Louisiana view is just beautiful on a sunny day.

If not for the view, walking strengthens your heart, lowers risk of disease, helps prevent dementia, boosts Vitamin D and provides energy and happiness. For students with dogs, there’s no better time to take your companion for a walk than during the spring.

When dining out this spring, opt for the table outside. Put your phone away while walking to class, and take in the natural beauty around you. Students will also experience more sunlight in the coming weeks after we spring forward on March 13. We’ll lose an hour, but gain some light.

Get some fresh air Grabbing some friends and hitting the park for the day is another idea. Pack a frisbee, a football or even a kite. Spring allows us to enjoy those activities we put on the back burner during colder months.

Head to an event With spring comes both baseball and festival season.

LSU baseball’s season opener was Feb. 19, and the team will continue weekly games throughout the semester.

BUKU Music and Art Project takes place in New Orleans the weekend of March 11.

Coachella Music Festival begins April 15 in Indio, California. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival begins April 22.

Russian Symposium to begin today

BY DILLON LOWE @d_lowe96 The LSU School of Music is will host the Symposium on Prokofiev and the Russian Tradition, a three-day event focusing on the life and work of prolific Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev.

The event is composed of three concerts, presentations and workshops and will take place between Feb. 25 and Feb. 27. The Symposium’s concerts will feature some of Prokofiev’s most significant compositions as well as the world premiere of two of his pieces: fragments of his unfinished Piano Concerto No. 6 and “Music for Athletes,” a piece written for pianos and dancers.

The LSU School of Music was given exclusive permission from Prokofiev’s heirs in London and Paris to perform these pieces. Delegates from over 11 nations, including Prokofiev’s grandson and the Russian Minister of Culture, will attend.

“In a way, we’ve made LSU a cultural center for all of these interesting events,” assistant professor of music theory and Director of the Prokofiev Symposium Inessa Bazayev said. “Some of the most wellknown scholars in the field of Russian music will be in attendance.”

Prokofiev is widely recognized as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Some of his most well-known works include “Peter and the Wolf,” the ballet

LASM exhibit showcases solar system with planetarium

BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler

The Louisiana Art and Science Museum is journeying to the stars with its newest space show.

“Journey to the Stars” is open in conjunction with the museum at the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium and ExxonMobil Space Theater. The show will play on Tuesdays through Sundays from 2-3 p.m. until May 31.

The show, narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, is an engrossing and immersive theater

experience. Featuring extraordinary images from telescopes, both in space and on Earth, and stunning, never-before-seen visualizations of physics-based simulations, the show transports viewers to a whole new world.

Viewers are sent through time and space in the night sky to experience the life and death of the stars, and the sun, said Planetarium producer Jay Lamm.

“Audiences will tour familiar stellar formations, explore new celestial mysteries and discover the fascinating, unfolding story that connects us all to the stars,” Lamm said. “Those who come

along for the journey may never see the night sky in the same way again.”

According to Lamm, the program was created by the American Museum of Natural History’s astrophysicists, scientific visualization and media production experts. NASA and more than 40 leading scientists from the United States and abroad helped with the exhibit, as well.

Before “Journey to the Stars,” viewers are shown two featurettes, “The Winter Sky Tonight” and “Portraits in Space.”

“The Winter Sky Tonight” is

this season’s version of the “Sky Tonight” show and is produced with in-house narration by actress Margaret Lawhon. These shows contain all of the pertinent information concerning what can be found in Baton Rouge’s sky, Lamm said.

The planetarium uses actual images and footage of planets, moons and deep space objects.

However, he said it is not limited by the season and will stay as up-to-date as possible.

“We’ll continually have updates and pertinent information

Budget shortfall leaves children unprotected from parental abuse

The associated press

On Feb. 12, assistant teacher D’onna Hartman reads to Frederick Frenious, left, and Gus Saunders at the Creative Kids Learning Center, a school that focuses on pre-kindergarten for 4- and 5-year-olds, in Seattle.

BEYER’S REMORSE MICHAEL BEYER @michbeyer Child abuse survivors could be left in the cold if the legislature doesn’t patch the state’s budget crisis.

Budget cuts don’t just threaten TOPS and children with disabilities. The Department of Children and Family Services may not be able to investigate most child abuse claims.

DCFS Secretary Marketa Garner Walters told the House Budget Committee about this possibility becoming a reality if the State Legislature doesn’t find $15 million to staff the appropriate workers to administer claims

by June 30, according to The Advocate.

According to The Advocate, the Department’s budget has already endured a cut of $519 million under the eight years of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration.

Under a drastic scenario highlighted before the committee, The Advocate reports “perhaps only the most severe cases of child abuse would get investigated, and calls to report child abuse could go unanswered because there are too few employees to work the phones.”

While state legislators debate slashing spending and raising revenue, DCFS remains on its last limb. “We’re at the bottom of the barrel here. There is no fluff

in this agency,” Walters told The Advocate. “We simply cannot sustain more cuts and serve the families that we are obligated to serve.”

This predicament isn’t just shocking. Leaving behind children who survived abuse is immoral in its lowest form.

Last year, 26,000 child abuse cases were reported in Louisiana, with 6,500 of those cases requiring immediate response because the child was believed to be in imminent danger. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, one in four girls and one in six boys will experience sexual abuse before they turn 18.

Without proper staffing and funding, Louisiana will allow the perpetrators of child abuse to go unpunished and children without proper treatment or resources to deal with the trauma of child abuse.

According to the Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families, child maltreatment is associated “with increased risk of low academic achievement, drug use, teenage pregnancy” and a host of other negative effects.

Even with the current case load, it’s likely DCFS isn’t reaching many survivors of child abuse. According to the Louisiana Partnership for Children and Families, child abuse is often underreported.

Louisiana should dedicate more resources to child abuse prevention, as it barely has the

The Daily Reveille Editorial Board

resources to combat abuse after it happens.

While you’re freaking out about TOPS, the state government is ignoring children and child abuse cases because some legislators refuse to raise taxes.

These children don’t have lobbyists like the business industry to defend them or catchy chants, because talking about child abuse is difficult.

Legislators are willing to shut the door in the faces of child abuse survivors to satisfy their “no new taxes” cult ideology.

If you want to protect children, then raise taxes to fund DCFS. If legislators refuse to raise taxes, the state could let child abusers go free. The legislature’s incompetence will be felt in every phone call reporting child abuse to DCFS caseworker who will have to say, “I’m sorry we don’t have the funds to investigate your case. Your child is on their own.”

According to The Advocate, the House Ways and Means Committee took some steps to raise revenues on Tuesday, but many legislators may be unwilling to fund the health care needs of the state’s most vulnerable children.

Our state should provide every resource necessary to stop the cycle of child abuse instead of creating roadblocks for these vulnerable children.

This evening’s concert will be the only one of the weekend that will be open to the public and completely free of charge.

It will take place in the School of Music’s Recital Hall and will be composed of two distinct halves.

The first half, which won’t feature any Prokofiev but will honor a number of other Soviet composers, will be performed entirely by members of LSU’s faculty. The second half will feature Barbara Nissman, a prominent pianist and the first person to record all of Prokofiev’s piano sonatas in 1989.

Friday’s concert will also be held in the Recital Hall and cost $10 for faculty and students and $15 for the general

TIGER TERRACE, from page 3 Logan Covington. “It’s really visitor friendly for those coming out for the first time ... hopefully there will be a lot of nice ball games to watch in it.”

A new ticket gate was added near center field to help fans with season tickets or those who bought tickets prior to gameday. The entrance allows better access as it is near the tailgating area and parking lot.

Pleasing fans was the primary goal of most of the changes, but as the team continues to improve more and more games are set to be broadcast on TV. The improvements aim to help out

public. Frederic Chiu, a freelance pianist with more then 20 albums under his belt, will speak and perform a number of Prokofiev pieces. Chiu will also lead a workshop Saturday afternoon that will feature three LSU piano students.

Saturday’s concert will take place in the LSU Union Theater and will feature the premiere of two Prokofiev pieces.

Professors of piano Michael Gurt and Gregory Sioles will perform fragments of Prokofiev’s unfinished Piano Concerto No. 6.

The concert will also feature a concerto composed by Prokofiev’s grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev. For this piece, professor of percussion Brett Dietz will man the bass drum and be accompanied by the LSU Philharmonia. Gabriel will also lead a composition workshop Saturday afternoon.

The Symposium will host two keynote speakers, Simon Morrison of Princeton University and Richard Taruskin of the University of California, Berkeley. media as well.

Permanent camera platforms were built on top of each dugout, providing another angle for coverage. When the Tigers draw a national television audience, these stations will be manned in addition to the standard cameras throughout the park.

Junior infielder Sahvanna Jaquish said the enhancements are nice aesthetically but don’t fundamentally change the way the team plays.

“No one should be looking at the berm while the pitch is coming,” Jaquish said. “It doesn’t have an effect from a hitting standpoint. It’s better, it’s safer and [the fans] have a lot of fun.”

The Daily Reveille SPACE, from page 4 about what you can find in your night sky,” Lamm said. “Whenever there’s a meteor shower, conjunction of planets or new discovery, we’ll update our programming.”

The “Portraits in Space” featurette coincides with the museum’s current art exhibition, “The Artist Revealed: Artists Portraits & Self Portraits.” The show discusses the Hubble Space Telescope and how it takes the photos we’ve all come to know and love, he said.

“Most people think that the Hubble telescope snaps photos like a normal camera,” Lamm said. “It’s actually not like that.”

The featurette shows the telescope in action and fills the dome with some of the most beautiful images of galaxies and nebulae, he said.

“I want people to walk away from the shows with a feeling of awe and inspiration — that they not only learned something

page 7 about the cosmos but something about themselves,” Lamm said.

“I think, with any of our shows, people will walk away learning something about space, Earth, and their place in the world that they never knew before. I think that our seasonal sky shows and ‘Portraits In Space’ will help impart a grand understanding to the majesty of the universe and our place in it.”

LASM maintains a revolving lineup of new astronomy content. Along with “Journey to the Stars,” the museum is currently offering “Secrets of the Sun,” a

four-part series of featurettes.

The museum also holds FarOut First Friday from 7 - 9 p.m. on the first Friday of each month, Lamm said. The Astronomical World of Harry Potter is shown and details the link that J.K. Rowling made between the background of her characters and astronomy. This live show is free and offers Butterbeer and O.W.L. certificates to each participant.

General admission into the museum and planetarium is $8.50, but students can pay $7 on their first visit and receive a year-long membership.
