“There’s no lab for manners and protocol,” Warmsley said. “We just wanted to bring this activity to life.”

After three months of planning, she recruited Capt. Mark Mosby, an Air Force instructor, to teach program participants how to approach a receiving line and how to properly toast. Mosby incorporated military traditions and tidbits of history into the nighttime lesson.

Band director Roy King has been placed on administrative leave, according to his attorney Jill Craft who described the move as “an absolute travesty.”

King has worked with the marching band for 18 years, taking the director position five years ago.

Like athletes, Tigerband members, including Golden Girls and the color guard, receive stipends for the time they spend representing the U n i v e r s i t y.

Craft said KING she believes this action has been taken because King refused to let “certain folks with the LSU School of Music” access Tigerband money.

“Those kids have a huge routine. There is a lot of expertise involved in terms of following SEC games, SEC regulations as to when they can they play. [There are] NCAA regulations,” Craft said. “This is not some sort of show up and

Military Traditions program teaches cadets etiquette, encourages personal development

The University’s Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets are trading training gear for dress blues for their military ball on April 15.

To prepare the cadets for the formal event, ROTC director of academic affairs and student development Linda Warmsley organized Military Traditions: Customs and Courtesies, a program introducing them to the social development side of the University’s ROTC Curious and concerned about campus perception, Warmsley conducted an informal empirical study to see what outside students knew about the ROTC program. While most of the responses involved combat and war preparation, Warmsley said she wanted to paint the greater picture of ROTC’s purpose.

CAMPUS LIFE

Students highlight issues with proposed tailgating policies

BY CAITIE BURKES @caitie1221 The Student Union’s Capital Chamber was filled to the brim late Wednesday afternoon, students again seized the opportunity to voice their concerns regarding the proposed tailgating regulations shared Tuesday.

After Tuesday’s town hall meeting, regulation committee members allowed more students to contribute to the discussion by holding a second town hall meeting. An assortment of involved students came armed and ready, noting “logistical issues” with

the proposals.

Backtracking to the first night’s discussion, committee member and outgoing Student Government president Andrew Mahtook reiterated the drafted options were simply suggestions and not the final word.

“There’s an extremely viable option that none of these options will even see the light of day,” Mahtook said.

Committee members previously allowed students to electronically record their thoughts on a Campus Labs Respond app. Campus Life’s assistant director for leadership and

involvement Kathy Jones, a committee member who led both discussions, said Tuesday’s 1,343 survey response count jumped to 2,700 on Wednesday.

While some students spurred social media conversations using the Twitter hashtag #TailgateTownHall, others voiced different takes on the situation, launching a series of talks that overran the allotted time.

Incoming Greek students living in residence halls will be required to remain on a full LSU Dining meal plan instead of opting out and signing up for the Greek Paw Points Meal Plan, Margot Carroll, the assistant vice president of Auxiliary Services, said in an email. The new system will be implemented in the fall.

According to the Auxiliary Services website, all first and second year students living on campus, except for those in East Campus and West Campus Apartments, are required to have meal plans. Carroll said the Greek Paw Points Meal Plan, which costs $700 for 700 Paw Points, would no longer be available.

In the past, students were able to opt out of the University meal plans in exchange for the Greek Paw Points Meal Plan after joining a Greek organization, as some fraternities offer their own meal plans and include the cost in dues.

Now, these students will be required to remain on one of the traditional plans for the full year, just as their non-Greek

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS In Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Reveille, the story “Vast majority of LSUPD rape reports since 2010 fall on gamedays, gameday weekends” reads “All but one football and one basketball game were at home” referring to which sporting events correlate with rape reports. A road basketball game did occur on March 24, 2014, following an incident of rape which allegedly occurred on March 23, 2014, but was not included in the story because a home baseball game occurred March 23. That baseball game was included.

The story’s second sentence should read “All but one football game were at home.” The Daily Reveille regrets this error.

‘TAKE NOTICE’

Cartwright to have surgery, Latz ‘looks good’

BY JAMES BEWERS @JamesBewers_TDR

Twenty-eight games into the season and nine games into Southeastern Conference play, LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri assures his No. 15 Tigers haven’t fallen into an unclimbable hole.

Due to its well-publicized inexperience, LSU (19-9, 4-5 SEC) has looked vulnerable at times, even at home.

The Tigers dropped a home series to Alabama for the first time since 1996 and endured its first loss to Tulane in Baton Rouge in the new Alex Box Stadium.

Nevertheless, LSU is 10 games above .500 and is coming off its first series win of the season against Auburn and midweek victory versus Southern.

In reality, a 3-3 outing in road conference series against Auburn and No. 3 Texas A&M is palatable for Mainieri.

But in comes No. 6 Vanderbilt, which ranked as high as No. 2 in one major poll, for a three-game set at Alex Box Stadium beginning at 6 p.m. tonight.

Even if the series won’t define LSU’s season, Mainieri isn’t minimizing what kind of opportunity lies in front of the Tigers.

“This is an opportunity to establish some real credibility nationwide,” Mainieri said. “You’re playing the No. 2-ranked team in the country, a team that has been in the finals of the College World Series for the last two years. And if we can go out there and have success this weekend then people are going to stand up and take

BY JAMES BEWERS AND JARRETT MAJOR @JamesBewers_TDR | @jarrett_TDR LSU junior right-hander Alden Cartwright will have Tommy John surgery to remedy a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and a partially torn muscle, Cartwright and LSU coach Paul Mainieri confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

The reconstructive surgery, which will be done on April 13 by orthopedic surgeon Mark Field, will keep Cartwright out for the rest of the season and a portion of next season.

While the recovery time varies among players, it usually takes roughly a year, or more.

However, because Cartwright’s injury occurred in the first half of the season and he had not played in more than 30 percent of the total 56 games on the schedule, he is eligible to receive a medical redshirt this season, as Mainieri confirmed.

Still, after finding out the news Tuesday afternoon, Mainieri could only empathize with Cartwright as his blooming third season abruptly ends.

“I walked in, and Alden was waiting for me in my office,” Mainieri said. “All I could do

Tigers’ consistent offense plates Southern Miss., 5-0

BY MARC STEVENS @MarcStevens_TDR

Consistent offense and a solid performance from sophomore pitcher Allie Walljasper forwarded the No. 8 LSU softball team to cruise to a 5-0 win against Southern Mississippi on Wednesday.

The Tigers (29-9, 5-7 Southeastern Conference) scored a run in every inning but the first and seventh innings pressured the Golden Eagles (18-21, 5-7 Conference USA) the most.

“I really liked how we swung the bats tonight,” said LSU coach Beth Torina. “It’s been awhile since we stepped up to the plate with that kind of confidence. [The team] swung well

and just hit things hard. I like seeing that from our kids. Even their outs seemed to be hit well.”

Walljasper stifled any chance of a comeback as she stayed ahead in pitching counts to shut down the Golden Eagles’ batting order.

She recorded four strikeouts, and forced 15 batters to ground or fly out.

The sophomore hurler allowed six hits in the complete game effort and held the Golden Eagles to a .240 batting average.

But her biggest moment came in a bases-loaded jam in the sixth.

With the tying run at the plate, she forced Golden Eagles sophomore pitcher Samantha Robles to fly out, ending the

frame and Southern Miss’ attempted comeback.

“She keeps everyone calm,” said freshman shortstop Amber Serrett. “She is so quiet and we talk about silently hunting.

That’s kind what I think of Allie. She’s out there and she gets her job done, but she’s so quiet about it.”

Serrett and junior first baseman Sahvanna Jaquish were the highlight for the LSU offense.

The duo each blasted balls over the outfield wall. Serrett’s longshot added a second Tigers’ run in the second inning and Jaquish hit her team-high 10th homer that added the fourth LSU score.

The Commodores (24-5, 6-3 SEC), which took two of three from No. 8 South Carolina last weekend, bring a familiar brand of baseball to Baton Rouge under coach Tim Corbin — elite starting pitching and manufacturing runs with small ball.

Headlined by projected Thursday night starter Jordan Sheffield, the Vanderbilt pitching staff bests all SEC teams in hits allowed while ranking second in earned run average, opponent’s batting average, strikeouts and saves.

“They always have good arms every year,” said junior center fielder Jake Fraley. “That’s what Vanderbilt is really known for.

We like to think it as it’s just going to be the same staff power wise, just like [Texas] A&M was. So, it’s not like it’s our first go-around with that.”

The offense leads the league in runs and sacrifice bunts and is tied for first in stolen bases and sacrifice flies. The Commodores are also second in SEC in walks.

While he is challenging his hitters to embrace to task of facing major-league caliber hurlers, Mainieri said quelling the Commodores’ leadoff hitter of each inning will be key, especially in what he expects will be a low-run contest.

“They’re the epitome of

taking advantage of their opportunities because they go crazy on the basepaths,” Mainieri said. “Now, they run into a lot of outs. They’ve been thrown out stealing more than anybody ... they do that because they know they also have a quality pitching staff — that if they do run into some outs, that they’re pitching staff is going to cover for them by holding the other team down.

So, it gives them the opportunity to take a lot of risk.”

Because the series opener against Auburn was postponed, LSU is once again coming into a conference series on a short week, giving Mainieri reason to start junior left-hander Jared Poche’ on Thursday.

Mainieri said Poche’s finesselike style of pitching is less taxing on him than Lange’s power approach would be on four days of rest.

Lange (2-2) is entering the series off his collegiate worst runsallowed outing in Game 1 against Auburn, where he conceded a career-high seven earned runs in 6.2 innings.

However, Lange worked through a chaotic third inning to save the LSU bullpen for later in the series, which coaches and players commended him for accomplishing.

“It happens to the best of us,” junior catcher Michael Papierski said of Lange. “Nobody is perfect. He had to work through it.

He did. He kept us in the game, like coach said, and gave us a shot to win.

was hug him and just tell him how sorry I was for his sake … his career is not over. He’ll still be able to contribute to LSU baseball. It’s just everything is going to be delayed a little bit.”

Cartwright said his arm began to ache even before he threw the fourth pitch of his outing in Game 3 against Auburn on April 3.

“It was hurting every pitch,” he said. “I was planning on coming out after that inning anyway. It was something different, not a normal hurt. And then on that fourth pitch, I felt it pop, felt a burning sensation in my elbow, and I knew it was done.”

“Anytime you play some former foes, friends, or people you’ve coached with or against you definitely want to get that win,” Dobson said. “I wouldn’t say it’s any better than any other win, but it’s always nice [to get a win]. I’ll sleep a little better tonight.”

The Tigers’ victory gives them their third win in four games since being swept by then-No. 1 Florida on March 26.

Torina’s squad will look to keep the momentum this

weekend in a rare Saturday, Sunday, Monday series against No. 16 Kentucky in Tiger Park.

The Wildcats are the fifthstraight top-16 squad LSU will face in conference play.

“They’re coach does a great job with strategy,” Torina said.

“They always bring a great pitching staff, and they have a great pitcher with Kelsey Nunley who’s given us trouble in the past … we definitely have our work cut out for us. I feel good about the spot our team is in.”

Latz “looked good” against live hitters.

Despite the unsettling news of Cartwright’s season-ending injury, Mainieri “couldn’t contain his enthusiasm” after redshirt freshman lefty Jake Latz completed two 15-pitch innings against live hitters in practice on Wednesday.

Latz, who has not appeared in a game as a Tiger, has been steadily recovering from surgery on his throwing elbow in the fall and is targeting an appearance in one of two midweek games against McNeese State and Grambling next week.

“His velocity is good — 8890 miles per hour,” Mainieri said. “He maintained it. His fastball command was pretty

good. He threw some really good changeups … He didn’t quite have a great feel for [his curveball]. That’s usually the last thing to come. When I talked to him after he threw, that was the least of his worries.”

“I don’t think it could have gone any better, quite frankly.

The whole key is how does he feel [Thursday].”

After a long road for Latz to get back on the mound, the former Illinois High School Player of the Year is starting to feel like his old self again, he said.

“It just felt normal to get back out there again,” Latz said. “I didn’t have any doubts or second thoughts. It just kind of came secondhand to me.”

Hemlines & History MDA assistant professor to give lecture at LSU Museum of Art Thursday

Ashlyn, 3, models a costume designed by assistant professor of costume design Brandon McWilliams Friday, April 1, at the LSU Museum of Art. McWilliams will be giving a gallery talk April 7 at 6 p.m. at the museum.

BY lauren heffker @laurheffker Replicating historic clothing takes a lot more than a needle and thread.

LSU College of Music and Dramatic Arts assistant professor of costume design Brandon McWilliams will be the guest speaker at “Costuming the Collection: A Gallery Talk Exploring the History of Fashion in Art” at the LSU Museum of Art tonight.

The lecture is being presented in conjunction with the reinstallation of the museum’s permanent collection, which unveils a special selection of portraiture art.

McWilliams, with the help of four

of his graduate students, re-created the dresses worn by the portrait models in children’s sizes. The miniature gowns were constructed as costumes for the brand new children’s education center.

“I think [the portrait] is beautiful,” McWilliams said. “I think that portraiture is such an interesting art form because, as a designer, it’s the only way you know what people wore.”

The process of replicating the centuries old style of clothing entails historical research, line drawings, pattern drafting and cutting and sewing the fabric together.

McWilliams said the challenge with making the costumes was in manipulating the garment for a body

that has no corseted understructure, unlike the typical 1800s attire.

“They weren’t just replicas — they were for kids,” he said.

Altering the durable fabric to shape the bodice, along with pleating all of the material on a smaller frame, also proved difficult, the professor said.

“The conversation becomes about how do you convey this period line,” McWilliams said. “How do you manipulate style lines to evoke shape on something that has no shape at all?”

He identified the correct fabric worn by the sitter in each portrait from observation, logic and

From the Beyhive to the Navy to the Barbz, these days stans represent their fandoms like gangs.

While standom in general is based on borderline irrational enthusiasm for popular media figures, the disturbing trend of stan wars is starting to permeate media culture and it needs to stop.

To be a stan is to be someone who is so dedicated to a celebrity, public figure or pop culture entity that they become a maniacal fanatic, praising who they stan at every turn, purchasing $500 concert tickets, going to see the movie starring the subject of their stanning at minimum seven times and attacking anyone who disagrees with the notion that who they stan is the second coming of Jesus.

It’s that last part that is concerning. In general, there’s nothing wrong with really liking something, which is essentially all that being a stan is. However, Twitter has become a breeding ground of people simply attacking those who disagree with them or really like someone else.

22nd annual Baton Rouge Blues Festival to be held this weekend

BY Dillon Lowe @d_lowe96

The Baton Rouge Blues Festival will kick off its 22nd annual event on April 9 and April 10 in and around Repentance Park and Galvez Plaza in downtown Baton Rouge.

Originally held on the campus of Southern University in 1981, the free festival seeks to promote the blues as the heart of American music, particularly the swamp blues native to Baton Rouge.

BRBF honors the local swamp blues legends who helped shape

the genre, like Slim Harpo, Raful Neal and Rudy Richard.

This year, American blues guitarist and six-time Grammy winner Buddy Guy will headline the festival, performing Sunday night.

“He’s the largest blues musician in the world, so to have him play free and open to the public in downtown Baton Rouge is truly something to celebrate and to give this to the city is something spectacular,” Baton Rouge Blues Foundation board member Chris Brooks said.

Other notable performers include Latimore, Curtis Harding, and Kenny Neal and the Neal family, who will perform a tribute to the late Raful Neal.

In an effort to provide more opportunities for attendees to engage with the city of Baton Rouge and the wide variety of performers, this year’s festival will be the first two-day BRBF in over 20 years.

The festival’s performers will take to one of four stages this weekend: The Soul of BR stage, the Front Porch

Four costumes have been created, with eight as the goal for the project.

The idea for the lecture stemmed from McWilliams’ ability to look at a garment in a portrait and correctly guess the year the portrait was made, a skill noticed by museum coordinator of school and community programs Lucy Perera.

“I’m going to take everybody through the typical interrogation process that I would

go through to learn period,” McWilliams said.

The costume designer knows the historical information surrounding different portraiture art, specifically the Antebellum period.

“First of all, it’s my trade, it’s what I’ve been trained to do,” he said. “I have an understanding of historical garments, and I happen to understand the pattern of clothing in that period. It’s one that I know and I’ve been doing it for awhile, and I just know these things.”

McWilliams said while partnerships similar to the museum’s and the College of Music and Dramatic Arts seem like a no-brainer, they’re sometimes rare at the

university level.

“I think with the nature of the academic system, we forget how rich and how similar so many of these people are for us.

So whenever you get the chance to connect with them, like Lucy and I, it’s wonderful, and it’s really rewarding,” McWilliams said.

The professor teaches drawing courses, costume design construction courses, stage makeup courses, an introduction to theatre design course and the history of theatrical style and adornment. He also assists with the LSU Theatre Department and freelances with other major productions.

If you simply tweet that you enjoy Beyonce, certain members of the Rihanna Navy are ready to attack, bombarding your mentions with emojis and saying “Rihanna is better” and “buy ‘Anti’ on iTunes!” Then the Beyhive has to clap back at the Navy, and suddenly, you’ve got yourself an all out stan war.

This kind of mob mentality is detrimental not only to the celebrity but also to the fans. It creates this awful “there can only be one” culture, leading people to believe that there can’t be multiple successful stars in a specific medium at any one time, which

“Our focus with the committee is that those people that come to the festival can really see what Baton Rouge is all about,” Brooks said. “That’s why we have our Front Porch singersongwriter stage because we have a great singer-songwriter community here, and that’s why we have a Soul of BR stage because our gospel community is absolutely enormous here and a lot of people don’t know about it.”

Additionally, scheduled question and answer is nonsense.

While these stan wars are typically about women, because apparently it’s totally unfathomable to not pit women against each other, male stars are certainly not out of the line of stan fire. Take a look through some of the Twitter feeds of Beliebers and Directioners and it’s like the Sharks and the Jets.

When Kendrick Lamar drops an album, or even just a track, some stans use that as opportunity to put his rap contemporaries down. When Drake drops “Views From the 6,” the same is sure to happen, and it’s just plain annoying. You can’t really enjoy the music while typing a Twitter essay about how another artist is trash compared to who you like. Didn’t Champagne Papi warn you about having

sessions with festival performers will be held in the senate chambers of the Old State Capitol at an event called Backstage at the Blues Fest.

The festival will also feature an arts market, a food market and a general market for local boutiques.

BRBF is one of many initiatives of the Baton Rouge Blues Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed at honoring the history of swamp blues through educational outreach and other campaigns throughout the city.

The festival kicks off at 11:30 a.m. Saturday with Sundanze Howie.

Twitter fingers?

Here’s some controversial news: you can like both Beyonce and Rihanna. These two beautiful, successful and proud black women make great music and exist at the same time. For that we should be grateful, not trying to tear one of them down to promote the other.

While stanning can be fun, it can also be toxic. Many of the stans who engage in social media attacking are young. Hopefully they’ll grow out of it, but in the meantime, I’m going to need the moms of the world to start disconnecting the WiFi when stan wars get out of control.

Letter to the Editor: Tailgating proposals are out of touch with students, culture

Where do you see yourself on September 10? It’s the first of seven home football games for the LSU Tigers in Death Valley. You picture the sights and sounds. The fireworks going off as the Mad Hatter leaves the tunnel and 103,000 people are ready to watch Leonard Fournette. But something is missing. There is not the typical energy and excitement built up over 10 months bellowing from the LSU student section.

On September 10, LSU Administration is planning to unveil one of their new plans to “increase student safety and accountability.” We understand, things get rowdy on Saturday’s in Baton Rouge, but the presented tailgating regulations are inadequately groomed and ill prepared.

Students have every right to know of these unfeasible and impractical methods the Dean of Students’ office is attempting to impose on our student organizations.

All student organizations — from religious groups to fraternities to the Quidditch team — that want to coordinate tailgating festivities will have to register a “space” within a certain number of days prior to kickoff. Let’s evaluate this situation. What happens when the spaces “run out”? Are you then not allowed to have any sort of tailgate as LSU fans have been accustomed since the inception of tailgating?

What if a family sets up in your tailgating “space?” Now you can’t relocate because you will be in violation of the tailgating regulations. These new “reserved spots” will make groups responsible for anything that might happen in that area. Will this increase safety or increase consequences that will burden these student organizations trying to follow these new regulations?

Additionally, in the proposed tailgating regulations, the Dean of Students’ office is also proposing to have a single beer vendor located near the Parade Ground. Student organizations will be required to pay for a third party vendor, costing well over $500 per

That’s not even accounting that LSU currently only has a single approved alcohol vendor, All-Star Catering. Is that one vendor expected to serve 400+ organizations? We highly doubt it.

Has anyone on the Tailgating Committee realized how impractical these “options” are? Waiting to use a portable bathroom in this area takes approximately 20 minutes minimum, and now they want all of the students involved with a Student Organization to sit in an even longer line to get beverages? How many workers do they expect to satisfy the demand of thousands of people in line? Who is supposed to pay for all of this? Will the cost be covered by LSU or shoved on the student orgs? Is LSU expecting to reap profits earned from this sale? If so, that’s a whole other minefield of ethical issues.

If you are bewildered about these potential set of changes,

then you have read them correctly. LSU will force students to report where they will be mingling with friends and classmates and they will attempt to monitor the food and beverages you consume. This is going to ultimately lead to students trying to circumnavigate these rules in order to have fun (i.e. chugging copious amounts of liquor before setting out for the Parade Ground, leaving the Parade Ground ever so often to consume alcohol at a hastened rate meanwhile crossing busy streets drunker than ever before, etc.). This is going to lead to more student harm than student safety.

The changes aren’t without cause, however. Any change that could improve the safety of all students on game day ought be considered, however the burden and responsibility ultimately lies on the individual students and their peers.

If you want to receive the respect of a mature college student, then act like one. Don’t be afraid to tell your friends when they’ve had too much and display and inspire the maturity in others to know when they’ve

reached their own limit.

The main problem is the drastic amount of changes the Administration wants to impose without making smaller, more effective changes first.

We understand these are just ideas, but these ideas need to be fully developed to make them even feasible before being pushed forward. Instead of working with student organizations in a way that could foster a positive and beneficial relationship between both parties, they are instead opting to change an LSU tradition — a tradition that is carried on by students and parents, the old and the young, the season ticket holder and the first time Death Valley attendee. It’s a cultural way of life that has been ingrained in every person that loves purple and lives gold, and it is the reason students fall in love with Louisiana State University under the Stately Oaks each Fall.

LSU students, make your opinions heard. Contact your friends and your student organizations, and make them aware of the impending changes to a tradition that is a memorable part of their collegiate career. You are encouraged to take the student survey from the Dean of Students Office (http://studentvoice.com/lsu/ tailgatingpractices). Talk to your friends and classmates on the LSU Football team and see how they feel about a tradition being tainted.

On September 10 when we play Jacksonville State, it could be a very different Game Day for LSU Tiger Fans unless we rally together behind a common goal. Every student, even those not in an organization, needs to come together and be as loud about this issue as they are on the 4th quarter in Death Valley. While this plan may fail, Administration has officially leveled its gaze at one of our favorite parts of being an LSU student.

We work far too hard during the week to have this taken away from us. Cheers to Gameday.

Head to Head Should food stamp recipients have to work to receive benefits?

Yes, taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for food stamps for someone who could be working MADE YOU THINK CHARLIE BONACQUISTI

@Charlie_Bonac2

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I am sure you have all heard this, but it’s never been more true than now.

Under House Bill 594, proposed in the Louisiana House of Representatives by Rep. Jay Morris, R-Monroe, “able-bodied” childless adults who receive food stamps will be required to work.

This proposal is far from unreasonable. The food stamp program was created to help those in need until they can get back on their feet. It wasn’t meant to be taken advantage of.

Passing this bill will give adults the incentive to find a job or obtain the proper skills that will help them provide for their families. Nothing should be given freely to some, while forcing others to pay through taxation.

“We’re a hard working state, and I think we need to continue to incentivize work,” said Morris in an interview with Elizabeth Crisp from the Advocate. “Not getting up in the morning and doing something constructive is bad for the brain and bad for society.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Louisiana has one of the top 10 highest unemployment in the United States, with 5.9 percent unemployment. This rating is unacceptable. Why are we allowing the state to rank so low when we have the opportunity to encourage more able-bodied adults to work?

The proposal doesn’t take away food stamps from “able-bodied” individuals as long as they consent to work for the food they’ve been given, like every other American.

For the last 19 years, Louisiana has applied for a waiver from the federal government so childless adults didn’t have to work the required 20 hours per week or be enrolled in a job-training program to receive the food aid.

The bill would require legislative action for any future attempts to get the waiver.

Even Gov. Edwards appears to be changing his position on the work requirements through an executive order. According to Edwards’ chief lawyer, the governor intends to ensure Louisianians experiencing the changes have job training and

placement services available to them.

Edwards’ executive order might render the proposed bill unnecessary, but Morris wants to continue with his proposal until he knows for sure.

When people work for the things they receive, they gain confidence in their ability to care for themselves.

Our state takes pride in the hard working nature of Louisianians, so let’s continue this tradition by bringing more people into the workforce.

No, Louisiana shouldn’t kick people off SNAP benefits during a statewide recession BEYER’S REMORSE MICHAEL BEYER @michbeyer Giving poor people no way to feed themselves and their families is always shameful. But doing so during a statewide recession, which Louisiana is in right now, is even more shameful.

For 19 years, Louisiana has received a waiver from requiring food stamp, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, recipients to work in order to receive this federally funded benefit,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

House Bill 594 would require SNAP recipients to work 20 hours per week to continue receiving benefits.

according to The Advocate.

The state would save no money in trying to curb the numbers of food stamp recipients because the program is federally funded.

However, Louisiana has had a waiver for 19 years precisely because its economy is in such poor shape. The state legislature’s chief economist Greg Albrecht said in February, “for all practical purposes, Louisiana is in its own recession.

It’s come on pretty rapidly.”

You can’t tell people they need to get jobs when there aren’t any jobs in the state. Even before the recession, Louisiana has done a poor job developing resources to help the state’s disconnected workers.

The Center for Planning Excellence estimates nearly 50 percent of Louisiana’s working age adults are disconnected from employment because of structural barriers. Many of these workers lack the proper skills and transportation to seek or maintain employment.

In the Baton Rouge region, CPEX estimates 168,000 people are disconnected from employment. This is partially because our city and state don’t adequately fund job training efforts and transportation to connect people to jobs.

We’ve tried work requirements with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, which gives cash benefits to low-income people. The work requirement has failed to move people out of poverty, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Rather, all TANF has done with its work requirements is kicked families off welfare — it hasn’t moved many recipients into gainful employment.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, only 23 percent of TANF cases in Louisiana were closed because recipients moved into employment in 2013. Having work requirements for TANF hasn’t worked, so why would it magically work for SNAP? If you want to move people out of poverty and into the workforce, invest in things that work, not things that feel good or are easy. I understand that kicking off people who are barely making ends meet feels right for conservatives, but that doesn’t make it good policy.

Instead, Louisiana should invest in public transportation and job training programs to move low-income people into gainful employment that will benefit their families. Before you talk about kicking SNAP recipients off the program, put your money where your mouth is.

Though today’s toast drastically differs in its significance, Mosby said the military-inspired tradition has withstood the test of time. Whether in a military setting or not, he said knowing how to give a nice toast is a useful skill to have.

said from the crowd. “I think this is about money.”

Another student pulled out the LSUPD crime log, questioning a claim made on television

by Dean of Students Mari Fuentes-Martin regarding the average number of students sent to the emergency room. According to the student, the highest recorded number was 31 despite Fuentes-Martin’s claim it was 50.

Committee members said they were unsure about the disparity but would look into it.

When asked which students belonged to a student

organization, everyone in the room raised their hands. From wakeboarding club members to sorority and fraternity members, the BYOB policy mentioned in Option 3 gained the most traction.

Along with the unanimity of the crowd, a former fraternity president said he believed Option 3 to be the most realistic solution, albeit with a slew of revisions. He expressed concerns of losing the distinctive tailgating culture.

“This is starting to look a lot like what Ole Miss does,” he said.

While the lessons may seem like common sense, Mosby said knowledge of etiquette contributes to a lifelong skill set both inside and outside military settings.

In a press release for the event, Warmsley said the human brain does not fully develop until the age of 25. Since students typically leave for college around 18 years old, there is a seven-year

gap in their mental maturation.

Warmsley said ROTC offers guidance for this crucial period in young adulthood, and etiquette provides a structural basis for that development. When high school graduates leave home, ROTC picks up the duty of routinized education, she said in an interview.

“ROTC moves [students] from one developmental stage to the next,” Warmsley said.
